Sorry time. Few years ago, I negotiated a deal with a client and it was obvious I got less than. Colleagues talked down on me for not knowing my worth, that I could have charged more. Now, we started the gig and it was so challenging, more than I expected.

You'll lose certain long term opportunities if you're too greedy.

This may not be fit into the greediness story template. Sometimes, the reason a client is keeping you on is because your price is bearable compared to your performance. Demand higher pay and terminate yourself.

However, the client would always give me hints on how to progress, words of encouragement, links, he was very resourceful. We became close and a relationship beyond business was forming.

I asked about the other party, he said he fired them by 2nd month, their pay necessitated a stricter mark sheet. We worked for about 2years. By the 2nd year, the performance was still average, but we had systemise the workflow, the same money became more profitable.

Along the line, I learnt the client had hired me simulatenously with another service provider, paying them 3x than me. I felt bad, but continued to give me best shot. Now it's time for performance review: Month 1, I did poorly, the client said things will get better.

Month 2, still did poorly, client said I should give it few months. In my head , I'm like what's the catch? By the 6th month, my performance became average, just enough for the client to continue renewing.

Story Time! I met this old poor man in IB, his living condition was just poor, no relative around, nothing. He was healthy though, lean and agile. One day he shared his life story to us. When he was younger, he was making money.

Story Time! A few years ago, I and 2 of my friends James & Jeff ventured into business. We were all operating our separate businesses in the same space. We were each other's competitors. The sky is big for everyone, so they say.

What's the biggest financial mistake you've ever made, and what did it teach you? 🤔

Well done Ebuka. You may look naive to others, but in the long-term, you are going to win.

A man did good by his wife, felt unseen, voiced out and is being punished. However a woman with trauma should not be punished and a good man should be matched with her to suffer? Women, I mean beautiful ones with curves, deserves punishment, like every other animal.

If you are too scared to let your woman know your financial standing. You are still a boy. You need to be dumped.

Later we will still see tweets that people should not be divided on trinal lines. This is gender line division. I just pity the family of those that died. People are now dragging credits. Sega link was very wise afterall
