Unlock Wealth: The Warrior's Path to Making Money - Moses B Arthur
Imagine transforming your life not by chasing success, but by embodying it. In this riveting conversation, real estate developer and entrepreneur Moses B Arthur (MBA) unveils the mental framework that propelled him from humble beginnings to commanding million-dollar projects.
MBA introduces his revolutionary "RAE Model" (Revelation, Assimilation, Elevation) as the blueprint for personal transformation, explaining how proper programming of your mind directly shapes reality. "Your programming leads to your thoughts. Your thoughts lead to your feelings. Your feelings lead to your actions. Your actions become your reality," he reveals, offering listeners practical tools to reprogram limiting beliefs through verbal declarations, processing experiences, and strategic modeling.
The discussion challenges conventional wealth-building wisdom with MBA's provocative stance that "anything money can buy, relationships can buy ten times over." Through vivid examples from his journey developing AfriMat Atlantic properties, he demonstrates how social capital opened doors financial resources couldn't, particularly when strategic relationships connected him with industry leaders who accelerated his growth.
Perhaps most compelling is MBA's framework for desire transformation—moving from merely wanting success to choosing it through research and planning, and finally committing through sacrifice and action. This progression illuminates how dreams become reality through disciplined, consistent effort rather than sporadic motivation.
Whether you're building a business, pursuing financial independence, or seeking personal growth, this conversation offers a masterclass in mindset transformation. As MBA powerfully states, "You don't need to be a billionaire to speak as a billionaire, because when you meet a man and you're able to get what is in his head, you can produce what is in his pocket."

Your mind is God's biggest gift he has given you. You don't need to be a billionaire to speak as a billionaire, because the thing is that when you meet a man and you're able to get what is in his head, you can produce what is in his pocket.
Speaker 3:The first business that failed. Why did it fail?
Speaker 1:Like I said, the gaps in our understanding is oftentimes what is responsible for the fluctuations in our results. So if you're unable to make consistently $1,000 a month, there's a gap in your understanding concerning making money. Now, the thing with a lot of people is that when they think about their dreams, the first thing they've been programmed with their mind is that their mind shuts them out. That's my RAE Revelation Assimilation, Elevation. It's the reason, reason I tell young people don't go chasing after things. Whatever you chase after, you don't find. You need to explain that. So our parents have been chasing money their whole lives. They never found the money they were chasing. So don't chase money. Anything that money can buy can buy 10 times. You are very poor if all you have in your life is money when your time has not come and you don't have financial resources. Build, Build, Build.
Speaker 3:So you're welcome to Connected Minds Podcast. My name is Derek Abaite and today's conversation is with Moses B Arthur. Everyone calls him MBA. In Ghana, he's an entrepreneur and a real estate developer. He's currently have got several projects ongoing. I love this man so much because the age that he is and what he's been able to achieve so far for himself is marvelous. It's something that a lot of young people are learning from. Recently, he filled up the UPSA Over 3,000 young people that went to hear him speak empowered them, and he had other speakers with him. This conversation is simply about the mindset, success principles, what you need to actually make it in this life. He blends scripture with wealth concepts and I want to hear all of it. I've got several questions for him and the many that my viewers and my listeners have also sent over. He's probably one of the most requested guests on the podcast, and the reason is very simple because of what he does and the community of giants that he's raising. You're welcome to this podcast, my brother. How are you doing?
Speaker 1:Thank you so much, derek. I'm doing amazing. How are you? I'm blessed, awesome.
Speaker 3:I think this is the best introduction I've ever done.
Speaker 1:It came from your heart, from the depth of my heart. You know, Wow yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm even pleased with myself. So, wherever you are, you know if you're jogging, if you're at work, driving to work, we thank you for tuning in to this podcast and if there are people in your circle you can share this with, please do. And, as usual, you know. If you make it to the end on YouTube, let me know, Leave a comment. And yeah, I appreciate you guys. You filled up the EPSA.
Speaker 1:By the grace of God, and a good team.
Speaker 3:You made it look like a walk in the park.
Speaker 1:Good preparation prevents poor performance. So if it looked like a walk in the park, it was because there was a lot of thoughts, there was a lot of planning, there was a lot of efforts that went into it. So that's usually the outcome of doing something good.
Speaker 3:We were supposed to have this conversation earlier that's right when we started this podcast much, much earlier, doing something good. You know, yeah, we were supposed to have this conversation earlier that's right when we started this podcast Much, much earlier I think more over eight months ago, mm-hmm, and it didn't happen because you were busy traveling around Africa and many parts of the world. You know, as a knowledge merchant, mm-hmm. Now I usually say that when a conversation doesn't happen, it's good because, when it eventually happens it's usually the best time, that's right.
Speaker 3:You know we are not in charge of the universe, that's true. You know there's something that is working in our favor. So once again, I appreciate your time. Most welcome, my brother. You have three books so far and I'm sure you're still working on the rest and I've got my copies here. Thank you so much for giving me these right, but this is where I want to start. Okay, your backstory into becoming an entrepreneur take me through that um, it's, it's, it's an interesting one.
Speaker 1:Um, I come from a very humble background, moses B Arthur. So the B is brain two, brain two means a warrior, brain two means a fighter. My mother had carried me for 11 months, two weeks, and so she finally put to bed and my father, having seen everything, my mother had gone through because, per the natural law of things, a woman is supposed to carry a child for nine months. But here was this woman carrying me for 11 months, two weeks, and on the 5th of April 1996, it was 12 minutes past 12 midnight and she put to bed. So my father, having seen everything, called me Brentu. Brentu means a warriorintu means a warrior, brintu means a fighter. So innate in my soul is that fighting spirit that I'm on the edge to go, on the edge to break the status quo. I think it comes naturally with me and usually when people ask me what my superpower is, I say that I think God just gave me that, you know, as a gift, because I've been fighting from the womb and I made it into this place. So I come from Inche, in the Western region, and my entrepreneurial journey started. I think I observed that trait right from university, where I realized that I'm always looking out for opportunities, and you usually will not spot opportunities with your eyes, you spot away your mind. So I'm always looking out for what I can do to, you know, add value to myself and, by extension, add value to the people around me. So and I'm one who is always on the quest, I'm a seeker, so I'm always on the quest for new knowledge. I'm always on the quest for the next big thing to do so. In university second year I read development planning in KNUSD. So in my second year in university, I had a friend called Yao who mentioned to me cryptocurrency and I said what's that? And he said cryptocurrency is the next big thing. So when he said that, I was like okay, and I didn't know anything, I just went all out and then I said, okay, then let's set up something called para deliveries and coinbase. So para deliveries and coinbase was my first business. My very good friend, gilbert kuku godwill and he's still a very good friend of mine he's the one who did my first um, you know, para deliveries and coinbase logo for me. That's when I even got to know that there's something called brand manual, because I went to him and said do a logo for me, and then he said you have to create a brand manual. I said what was that? Then he taught me. I said oh, I see. So to date, I have para deliveries and Coinbase brand manual. It's still there. So that was my first business that actually failed, and it didn't do well because the the things that I know now that has shaped my becoming, is not what I knew then. So I decided to pay attention to knowledge. I knew about bitcoin and everything, but I didn't even give it much attention, you know as of that time, and then it failed.
Speaker 1:So in 2017, when I completed knstD, right in the university years, I'd come to a car, attend conferences. I remember I attended enterprise Africa summit at Kempinski. I left school and came for that event and it was my upkeep money I used in purchasing the tickets to come for that event. And when I came, I saw a lot of young people doing stuff. So so I'm like I'm young.
Speaker 1:What is stopping me from doing things? And here's to just say a thing to young people it takes time to build great things. So start early. When you start early, you make all the necessary mistakes that you make, and then you keep learning on the go. So 2017, I was 21 years, I had a knack for speaking and I'm like okay, foundationally I realized that my pattern in life as a kingdom entrepreneur Jesus, the biggest brand in the world lived for people. So if I want to do this thing and take it on as a career, then I have to live for people, and so I started Entrepreneurship Hub Africa, which was a flagship event of City Broadcast. My second company then, city Broadcast, was a digital marketing company, so Entrepreneurship Hub Africa was its flagship event. Then I later changed and then made Entrepreneurship Hub Africa a full non-profit. So it's a non-profit with a vision to inspire the next generation of trailblazers to think bigger, dream louder and act bolder.
Speaker 3:Let me take you back Right, the first business that failed. Why did it fail?
Speaker 1:Like I said, I didn't have much knowledge about the whole cryptocurrency game, so all I thought was you'd have a logo, and then I didn't even register the company with RGD. I didn't do that.
Speaker 1:I just had the logo in my house where I'd rented at a time in school. I quickly set up a table. I think I have those pictures still on my socials. I set up a table. We did some photo shoot. I thought that was what the business was. So that actually informed my first book, the Entrepreneur's Journey an ideal startup guide. Because from that experience I found out I know the gaps in our understanding is oftentimes what is responsible for the fluctuations in our results. So if there's a certain fluctuation in your results, it means there's a gap in your understanding concerning that particular results you want to see. So if you're unable to make consistently $1,000 a month, there's a gap in your understanding concerning making money. So you need to go back and then build capacity for it. So I found out that I didn't know as much about cryptocurrency as I was just excited about the idea, which is what a lot of young people do today.
Speaker 3:So you know sometimes what happens, right, what happens. So there's a full method. If I tell you that to be able to produce sodium chloride you need to follow this full method, and then you read one, two, three and you don't finish it, you will not be able to produce sodium chloride. Sometimes, as young people and you might be able to attest to this that we get information, we don't consume all the information. As soon as we see a few lines we get excited like at this point.
Speaker 3:Somebody's probably going to log off this conversation and will not finish exactly the whole conversation and they'll be like oh yeah, I've got it, I'm going. But then what you don't realize is, like you know, it's like buying a new flat-packed table Instead of reading the manual to fix it. You don't. Then you start doing a whole lot of things Before you make mistakes. Then you go back to reading it. You think some of these things happened in your first business, yes.
Speaker 1:So from that experience I have a model. I call it the RAE model. So you need to come into a place of revelation, which is knowledge. Then you assimilate. When you come into a place of knowledge or revelation and you assimilate, you are feeding on it. What you keep eating will eventually eat you up. So as you assimilate, it brings you into a place of elevation, because the knowledge you feed on so's my rae. So revelation, assimilation, elevation. So what you, what you keep inside of you, as you eventually feed on its feeder, it becomes one with you.
Speaker 1:Is the reason I tell young people don't go chasing after things. Whatever you chase after you don't find, embody it, because whatever you embody, it runs with you. All right, you need to explain that. So a lot of young people say I need money, I'm chasing money, I'm going for money. Our parents have been chasing money their whole lives. They never found the money they were chasing. So don't chase money, because everything you are looking for is also looking for you, but not this version of you. So a version of you must literally evolve. And then when that version of you, so a version of you must literally evolve, and then when that version of you evolves, then, by reason of what you are assimilating, what you are learning, becomes one with you. Then you run with it. So what you are running after you will struggle to find, but what you embody runs with you. How do we do that? It's very simple.
Speaker 1:When a rich man wants to do something, he does not think of how he can have money to do the thing. He thinks of how he can become to do the thing. When a poor man wants to do something, the first thing is hey, I can do 10,000 cities. If I have 10,000 cities, I'll do this. I'll do that. Now think of it this way you want to buy a car. A car also is looking for you. Or you want to buy a house in Trasako. There's a house in Trasako with your name on it. But the question is what version of you must you grow into becoming to be able to buy that house in Trasako so that you can be able to maintain that house in Trasako?
Speaker 1:So a rich person. When a rich person wants to do something, he thinks of how he can become in order to have to do, but when a poor person wants to do something, he thinks of how he can have in order to do, to become. They are not the same. So a rich man wants to go into business. You are a rich man. You are doing amazingly well. You are a pharmacist. Did you think of how you can have a pharmacy in order to operate a pharmaceutical business? No, you went to school. That was your process of becoming, so you have to become. So you became in order for you to have, and you are doing.
Speaker 3:Which part of our being do we use to become?
Speaker 1:I think every part of you, every part of you, forms part of your becoming. And if you think about it very well, man is a spirit. He has a soul, he lives in a body. So man is a spirit. Daryl Moses is spirit. Daryl Derek is spirit. You have a body. So man is a spirit. Daryl Moses is spirit. Daryl Derek is spirit. You have a soul, you live in a body.
Speaker 1:How do I know Genesis, chapter one God creates, but he has not formed. Then he comes to chapter two and he says and the Lord, god, formed man. How do I know man is a spirit? He said when he had formed man. He said male and female created he them. So man, as a composite entity, is made up of male and female. Then in the formation we see it expressly. So, if you think about it very well, for you to become, your body must become.
Speaker 1:When a child grows up, a child is born, they have to learn how to crawl, they have to learn how to sit. They go through a process. The next thing, as that child is growing, you take that child to school. When you're taking that child to school, what are you trying to develop with that child? You're trying to develop their soul make. You're trying to make them appreciate color. You're trying to make them appreciate speech, all of those things You're trying to make them appreciate color, they're trying to make them appreciate speech, all of those things you are trying to make them understand their temperaments and all of those things they make up the soul of the person.
Speaker 1:You take that child to church. You let them understand that there is a deity. You let them understand that there's a supreme being that rules and controls their life. This morning you and I are here because probably on the list of people who are supposed to make the day we showed up, he gave us breath and we're here. So you let that child understand their spiritual investments or their spiritual growth. So there's your body, there's your soul, there's your spirit. For you to become all those three dimensions must equally grow.
Speaker 3:So I want a house in trazaco. You said that, that house in Trazaco is also looking for me Exactly. But I'm a truck driver.
Speaker 2:I don't even make 200 cities a day to even start accepting that that house in Trazaco is also looking for me.
Speaker 3:How does my viewer conceptualize this thing you're saying?
Speaker 1:It's this way Now. Your mind is God's biggest gift he has given you. The thing about the mind is that the mind is like a garden Whatever thing you sow in the mind you reap, the gateway to the citadel of your mind is your eyes and your ears, which is why I'm very much excited about the podcast, because by means of what people watch from this platform, by means of what people hear from this platform, by means of what people hear on this platform, they become so as you are watching and as you are hearing, it shapes your perception. So you are coming from that poor background. You may be listening to us today, you are in that single room somewhere, but you are watching videos in Dubai. You are in that single room somewhere. You are dreaming of that house in Trasaku. What actually is happening is that your physical state may not reflect what is in your mind, but your mind may be living years ahead of you. So I give you a case in point.
Speaker 1:I started my entrepreneurship hub Africa in Kumasi. I completed KNST in a place called Jinyasi, and here I was. I'd come to Accra from time to time. I realized that there was a kind of possibility, there was a kind of living in this place. So I'd go back. And then I'm like, okay, now that I go to Accra I see all the things that are doing it, but I'm also in Jinyasi. How do I move the business to Accra? So I decided that, okay, whenever I come to a crown visits, I would make sure I come to the place where rich people live, which is easily gone for starters. So those times I would come and my friend would drive me around and then we'll drive to easily gone. I remember we'll go and park by the spy's house. Then I'll ask myself did a man build this? I would watch that thing. And I'm like, if a man builds this, irrespective of where I'm from, I can do that. So I said, okay, I went back.
Speaker 1:Then my then mentor, dr Ubon King, of blessed memory, asked me to come to Nigeria. So he calls me and he says that he didn't say can you come? He says be in Nigeria tomorrow at six, which is to speak to a lot of young people. You want mentorship, are you ready to pay the price? So he calls me. I'm like, okay. So my then girlfriend, who is now my wife, I called her. I said the man said Ashka, I don't have money. So she works in the bank. So she gave me some money, entered the bus, came to a car, entered another bus straight to Lagos. So on the top of Echo Sutan Hotel, he said something to me. He said your vision shapes your life. Do you realize we're standing on the very top of Echo Sutan Hotel. I said yes. He said what do you see? Is the vision the same as when you're on the ground floor? I said no. So that day he spoke to me about vision and in our conversation he said I want you to make a vow to me that, to buttress this conversation about vision, you will go to Dubai and you will go and watch the place. It has, what it will do to you. Now, brother, I had a passport, but now how will I go to Dubai? So, just to buttress that point, how do you marry the two?
Speaker 1:I came back to Ghana, went to my junior. I say I had a laptop, I had internet. The internet is one of God's biggest gifts to our generation. Today you use the internet as a tool. Don't let it use you. So I go back and I started watching videos of Dubai and I realized the ruler is called His Royal Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. So I found his book my Vision. I started reading Before I ever stepped foot in Dubai. I had read the history of the place, like I knew about Ghana. I had read the man's books, everything that was available in Ghana. In fact, the first time I got to Dubai, the first thing I did was to go and buy books about the ruler of the place, because the thing is that when you meet a man and you're able to get what is in his head, you can produce what is in his pocket. So I went after the knowledge.
Speaker 1:What will happen is that now you begin to feel uncomfortable, something inside of you begin to rise. So there are three levels of desires. The first level of desire is that you want a thing. So to that trotter driver, he wants a thing. To me who wanted to go to Dubai, I wanted a thing. Now that you want a thing, a lot of people want things. Very few people manifest the things they want. So I want a thing.
Speaker 1:Then we transition to the second level of desire. When you want a thing, you move to a place where you choose the thing. The place of your choosing is where you do the research, the place of your choosing is where you now begin to realize that, okay, I may be a trotter driver, but I need to start changing my circle. The place of choosing is where you get to a place where you go like, okay, I may be a trotter driver or I may be a mate, but I need to do it with excellence. I need to build character, I need to build capacity, I need to learn what that current stage of my becoming and process is teaching me. You need to choose a thing. That is when I begin to ask okay, dubai, how much is ticket Brother? Until I asked that question, all that while I thought going to Dubai was 100,000 Cs.
Speaker 1:Then, when you are now beginning to choose, that's when you realize that, okay, to go to Dubai, you need a visa. This is how much the visa will cost To go to Dubai. You don't go to a visa office like the way you do for the United States. You don't fill applications like the way you do for Canada. So now you are beginning to understand. At that point you are meddling in the second realm of desire choosing. Then you move to the third realm, commitment, because when you choose, your choosing will help you siphon out your wants and help you to come to a place where, okay, this is what it will take. So can you imagine me coming to Accra those times and when I come, I started asking the cost of house rent in this neighborhood in East Ligon. This was me working on my mind. This was me getting okay. Okay, this is what it will take.
Speaker 1:Now, the thing with a lot of people is that when they think about their dreams, the first thing they've been programmed with their mind is that their mind shuts them out. So you can't do it. The moment you allow, you can't. You will never manifest it. But I moved myself from a place where I stopped looking at things, from I can't do it, to now asking myself how can I? The thing with the mind again, when you ask how you can, it will find results for you. How can I? You will now begin to look in, so you're in the choosing realm. Then you get to know that your third realm of desire, commitment. So now this is what it takes to go to Dubai.
Speaker 1:So, brother, at that time there was a company called Travel Planners. I realized that they had to super package so you could pay an installment till you are complete to go to Dubai. I said, ah, so there was a way out of this whole thing. So I said, okay, I went to them. I said how much they gave me the amount. I said, okay, I went to them. I said how much they gave me the amount.
Speaker 1:I said, okay, now I went back. I said, okay, this is my current realm of living, this is my current level of income. How do I allocate savings and pay the susu, small, small, till my total amount is complete? That was how I went to Dubai for the first time and that is how I did the same thing and came to this place and I realized okay, to live in a place in East Ligon, you're about to pay rent of about maybe 5,000, 6,000. So now, how do you bring yourself to that realm of living where you can be able to afford this, that, that? And we came to East Ligon as people who would come and watch their spies' house. Today we rent in East Ligon and today we are building in East Ligon. So we came here as tenants. We leave this place to airport sales and every part of the world as landlords.
Speaker 3:This is some serious mental elevation. Yeah, and oh God, I've seen this work in my life too. It's worked several times. The same place you went to park your car, I parked my car there too. The same the new building when they started to finish that new building, I watched it too. The same the new building when they started to finish that new building, I watched it too. As a matter of fact, I learned a few designs from there to apply to my own project. It works like magic. It does, it does, it really does. I usually say that the God in us sits in the mind.
Speaker 3:And that if you choose to use that mind, you can become. If you choose to use that mind, you can become anything you choose to be, Absolutely. But why is it so difficult for people to harness the power of that which the creator has given to them? The mind.
Speaker 1:Interesting question. Speaking about the mind, our mind is again. Why is it difficult that people are able to? People struggle to harness that power. Your mind is like a bank whatever you deposit into it, that is what you withdraw. So why is it that people struggle to harness its power? Let's go to the basics. What are they depositing In life?
Speaker 1:Concerning your mind, your programming leads to your thoughts. Your thoughts leads to your feelings. Your feelings lead to your actions. Your actions become your reality. Your programming leads to your thoughts. Your programming leads to your thoughts. Your thoughts leads to your feelings. Your feelings lead to your actions. Your actions become your reality. Every reality in your life you are uncomfortable with, check your programming. Every single reality in your life that you are very much uncomfortable with, check your programming. So if your reality is that you are poor, check your programming. If your reality is that things are rough in your relationship, check your programming. How are we programmed Every human being in this world? You are programmed three foundational ways. The first is what we call verbal programming.
Speaker 1:So what are you hearing about money? What are you hearing about doing business in Ghana? What are you hearing about relationship? What are you hearing about childbirth? A friend of mine was going to give birth last week and called me and said MBA. They said that CS is this. I said who? Said Because automatically she's living in fear because somebody planted by means of words into her mind that CS can take her life. I said you know the number of women walking the earth who gave birth by CS. What makes your story different? So debunk it and declare over yourself that you will give birth through your CS session. You will live, your baby will be healthy. Counter that thing with another word. So a lot of us grew up in environments where they told us things like Sika nya habayne atiti ni diazo.
Speaker 1:So you grow up living in a certain scarcity mentality that it's difficult to come by money. You know programming. So we are programmed in three ways. The first is verbal programming. You counter negative in theories. The first is verbal programming. You counter negative verbal programmings with positive verbal programmings. So you look yourself in the mirror and you speak to yourself. I do that a lot. This morning I woke up and then I looked into my palms and I declared my hands will prosper. I declared anything my hands touch will turn into gold. I said nothing dies in this hands. So you engineer it. And the best way to alter your life is declarations. And this is where I teach that when it comes to declarations, a lot of us just declare listen, touch yourself. Whenever you hit yourself like this it's like there's this flesh to flesh and speak to yourself. So declaration, verbal programming.
Speaker 1:The next one is what we call specific incidents. We are programmed by another option called specific incidents. So people experience certain things. That forms part of their programming and it makes them take a stance for life. So somebody has an uncle. The uncle, seemingly, is rich. But rich people also have problems. You go to this uncle of yours, you ask him for money. That mummy is not feeling well. Can you please give me money? Your perception is that this uncle is rich, but this uncle may also be going to their own wahala, so maybe in that moment uncle couldn't help. And then mommy dies. You now blame mommy's death on your rich uncle and say that rich people are evil. That's a specific incident there. Rich people are terrible people, rich people are wicked. But you see, what you do not honor and admire, you can't attract. So the moment you start saying that about rich people, how will you become rich? You are creating a certain wealth for yourself. So those are specific incidents.
Speaker 1:The third is what we call modeling, which is one of the most powerful ways of programming. What are you watching? And for that, in scripture, um, you look at jacob. Jacob wants to produce, um, a kind of cattle after its kind. What does he do? He brings the one he wants to reproduce and as they are mating, they are watching, they reproduce the same kind. The bible says we all, with open faces, beholding us in a glass, the glory of the lord, we are being changed. Whatever you behold, you transform into. So what are you watching, which is the reason why you need to guard this. So why is it a lot of people are not able to harness this? I'm showing you from foundations that the programming is wrong.
Speaker 1:So when I wanted to leave the dubai experience, I started watching videos of the place. Yeah, when I wanted to become. Let me show you one of the things that, um, I I did when and this is just of the hook when wanted to do upsa, you started off the conversation with that. I had a brother, um futurist kwame, who had done that two years before and I think three years that'll be three years 2022. We brought vucy down. I was right by him, so I saw the processes and I'll go back to him and we had discussions about the upsa. When I conceived the idea, I shared it with him. I shared a pizza man. We go back. We had the conversations and I told kwame. I said I have the videos of the upsa events that you hosted. And I told him, said I've watched that video 50 plus times.
Speaker 1:What was I doing? I was trying to assimilate myself with the space. My God, I watched, I watched. I can. If you pick my phone and you go through my notes, I'll tell you the things that I learned from every speaker's entry, what every speaker did right, what every I was just learning.
Speaker 1:Then I said no, at some point people speak things. So people started saying you can't do it, it won't happen. Where did you come from? And some of them are people who are close to me, people who you call friends and you hear you go like so this friend could say that. Now, whether you like it or not, you're human, so psychologically it will play on you when you're alone.
Speaker 1:So I started getting afraid and I went back. I said, no, I'll anchor it with a word. So I went back and then I looked into the scriptures. Then I saw a scripture that says that and on the Sabbath day came the whole city to hear the word of God from the apostles. Ah, they are coming. I just tweaked that scripture, I said and on April 12, 2025, came the whole city to hear the word of God from Moses B. Arthur, if you come to my study today, it's an open scripture. I highlighted it. I started speaking that to myself Two weeks to the event, I had so much peace that we had failed the place. Wow, I counted those negative things with words. So we're all programmed those way and I watched the thing. I watched them. I watched I was like no, it's. But modeling is powerful. It is so powerful, I think, and if you're able to find a type or a figure where you want to learn from, the easiest way is to model.
Speaker 1:I was sharing with a friend of mine yesterday about an issue he had with his mentee and I said something to him. I said there are four dimensions to learning from your mentor. The things you have heard from him is one dimension. Verbal programming the things you have seen in him. Another kind of programming modeling. I said the things you have received from him. So there are places where you have seen in him, you have heard from him, you have received from him. Then you have learned from him. So when I said that, he was like okay, I said yes. So I said your mentor must not come and tell you everything. There are things you have to watch from him and do it as he did. It's just as simple as that. How do I know the perfect example? Jesus comes on the scene and he said, as I see my father do so, do I Model it?
Speaker 3:Let me stop it here for a minute. If you've been watching this show, I want you to subscribe and become part of the family. We are on a journey of changing the lives of people on this channel and we appreciate you for being here, but if you haven't become part of the family, connect with us. Hit the subscribe button Now. Let's carry on the conversation. My God, yeah, you've taken me on a mental journey. Mental journey. When you post this thing on Twitter, mental journey, mental journey. When you post this thing on Twitter, the boys will say are you crying? I wonder the way you are talking. Are you a billionaire? What they don't understand is that, as you sit here, mentally, you are a billionaire, absolutely, and that's exactly what they are supposed to be doing. But for them, they must start from the thousands to the millions before they start thinking.
Speaker 1:You don't need to be a billionaire to speak as a billionaire. You don't need to be a millionaire to. I put out a series last year the Millionaire Mind Mastery series and somebody there said why should I listen? I posted it and the person said why should I listen to you? I'm not a millionaire? And I laughed I should I listen? I posted and the person said why should I listen to you? I'm not a millionaire? And I laughed. I said my mind is thinking as one. It's been less than a year. We're putting together a project that's over a million dollars, but until my mind could see it. See, your mind is the authorized escort to lift you from one realm of living to the other. Your mind will always take the lead to a destination. Then it will pull your body to join your mind. It's like going to marry. There is no man who will say that on the day they are going to marry, they never imagined their wedding day. You imagined it, so you planned according to your imagination.
Speaker 3:That's why imagination is powerful.
Speaker 1:Exactly, a group of people decided to build a tower whose top will reach the heavens in the book of Genesis they imagined to do. If you read that scripture very well, theologically speaking there's a lot of conversation about it, but this is not theology. So, god, that thing is so powerful I think it catches the attention of God. So your mind is such a potent place that it can catch the attention of God. Then God said the thing that people have imagined to do, we have to confound their language. Everything in life is built twice First in your mind and second in reality. What you don't spend time building in your mind, you will struggle with making it a reality.
Speaker 3:My God, your first business failed. Second business failed. Why did the second one also fail?
Speaker 1:Same thing. I was still in the process of my becoming. What did you learn? It's literally the things that I've summed up and sharing. Because, I realized that all I wanted was to have, but not to be, to become so I said no, you are chasing things.
Speaker 1:what you chase, you keep running after it, but the beauty of destiny is understanding that you have to become now. This is the beautiful thing usain bolt, one of the best athletes in the world yeah, runs, Runs and then he's world champion. But what people are failing to see? The years of practice, the years of failing. So when he comes on the scene and I told somebody somebody said I want to learn speaking like I want to speak like you I said I've been doing this for eight years. I didn't start off speaking this way. Recently, I listened to an old speech of mine in 2017 you must have laughed.
Speaker 2:I said what was good but you see, you are growing, you are becoming so.
Speaker 1:what I learned in the journey is that you want to have money, you want to be relevant like I, stopped chasing famous and you want to be famous. No, no, no, no. Impact lives it's the true measure of success. Impact lives Live for people. Let your life be a beacon of hope. Leave people better than you found them. In principle, every other thing you are looking for will come at you.
Speaker 3:The young people are saying that it's all well and good, all the things you are saying, but it does not reflect in their pocket. How do they go from here to let it now reflect? Look, you have a beautiful story First business failed. Second business failed. You are still on the journey and now you're doing a fantastic project that is well over a million USD, which we're going to talk about, but where was the seed Right?
Speaker 1:I like the question when was the seed Right? I like the question when was the seed? You use a seed to provoke a harvest. A seed can be in diverse forms, so I spoke about a mind. The mind in itself was a currency for me. Okay, so there are seven universal currencies I speak about in my book.
Speaker 1:Yep, now, if I want to begin to walk you through how I have been able to you know, um, build different things. It's the fact that anything that money can buy relationships can buy 10 times anything money can buy. You are very poor if all you have in your life is money. That's the honest truth. So I realized that, okay, the first thing I can do is that I can live for people. So I decided okay, if you're going to live for people, then be there for people, because the value of a relationship is the value you bring to the relationship, not what you extract from it. A lot of people want relationships. All they seek is what they can get. They never think of what they can contribute. So I realized that, okay, this has been the journey, this and this and this and that. How do you now start? You're still moving to your becoming. You are still trying to figure it out, it doesn't look all rosy Like when I want to reference real estate. If you look at my real estate journey or my entrepreneurial journey, at some point I did a little bit of farming they are all on my socials. I document my journey a lot, so they are all there.
Speaker 1:And then we had started this real estate and myself and my co-founder, oscar. We had started this real estate, myself and my co-founder, oscar. We started Afrimat Atlantic and Afrimat is A for Alpha. Frim is Oscar, is Frimpon, so Frimat is A-R-T. So we got Frimat. We used his surname Frim. I'm Arthur A-R-T. So we got Frimat. And we're like, okay, great men, partner with God to do business, we're three partners in this business myself, him and God. So we needed an A. Then we brought Alpha. In Greek you say Alpha and Omega. In Hebrew you say Aleph Tav. So we brought A to represent God. So the three partners. We got Afrimat. Then we added Atlantic. Atlantic means we'll storm the world. We'll be the underdogs that will storm the world of real estate. So we got our company's name. Now we registered it with RGD. Now we're pushing Now and hear me, we went to Kumasi.
Speaker 1:We started off by building for people. We're doing projects in Kumasi. You'd come in here, you come to our car, try and look for properties to sell. At the time Sukasa had put up a property. We tried to, you know, help them sell and all of that. But you want to start a development. That is what is at your heart's beat. So if you look at the AfriMat Atlantic logo, it looks like a high-rise building, because that's always been our vision. We've always wanted to be that real estate company that comes in to do high-rise apartments. So we're like how do we transition?
Speaker 1:Then I remember we had watched a video of Dr Steven Debra and Wodemaya interviewed him. Tayo Aina interviewed him For us. That's a Ghanaian who didn't have to travel anywhere and he's here and he's doing high-rise. In my mind, bro, it would take me maybe 20 years to meet this man, or 10 years. It looked too far-fetched.
Speaker 1:So it was a season of confusion for us. How do we pick this thing? We're learning again. You notice that my principles are at play. I can tell you back to back stories of what dr deborah said on both interviews, because I've watched this several times. So I watch videos of Nigerian developers, myself and my co-founder. That's what we're doing the same principles that I was teaching here. We're just learning.
Speaker 1:So, even before we touched a real estate development project, the kind of things we know about real estate just by watching and learning. And that's the beauty. When now everything you are learning meets together with your seasons, which is why I tell people don't give up, your time is coming. The fact that your time has not come in that's not mean you shouldn't prepare. That's not mean you shouldn't build capacity. That's not mean you shouldn't be competent. So we started learning.
Speaker 1:Then, on one beautiful day, I woke up and inside my Instagram DM, dr Steven has sent me a message. I saw it. I said ah. He said I like what you're doing. I saw it. I said ah. He said I like what you're doing. I've been observing you for the past two years. I said Ewo, two years, which is for me.
Speaker 1:I speak to young people a lot and I tell them listen, kings are watching. Kings are watching. Whatever you are doing, kings are watching. They have not come to the brightness of your rising and your light because for kings, they have seen a lot of people come and go. Consistency to kings is proof of mastery, so make sure that you are being consistent. The man sends me a deal. I thought it was a scam so I showed it to my co-founder. I said, hey, there'll be a scam. He said debut, hey, you're not. We checked it was. I said ah. So I sent him a message. I said, sir, can I please have your number? Then I didn't hear from him. It was 3rd April. I said, ah, I said it, he has come to us.
Speaker 1:Then, 5th April, this man shares his number which was my birthday. It was my best birthday present. I WhatsAppped him and he responded Moses, which for me is something that a lot of people find intriguing when they reach out to me and I respond to them because they don't understand. In my journey, when I started, I had people I looked up to who would ask you to come around. You go, you spend the whole day, they will not meet you. You message them, they will not reply, and then I'll enter bus again and go back to Kumasi, you know. So I just told myself as God lifts me up, it doesn't matter who you are. You message me on any of my platforms, I'll respond to you. As far as I'm available, I will, and that was the kindness Dr Stephen showed me. The moment I sent him a message. He replied A month after he wasn't in the country, so a month after we met for the first time in this office. So fit me. And when we met we spent about two hours. The man opened up his heart and so he showed us go and do this, go and do that, go and do this. So we started.
Speaker 1:For one year we're going about in circles, acting on what he said, we would go, we would go here, we would go here, we would go here, we would go here, we would go here. Then now it comes in on the scene. I'm like okay, this, that, that, that. So my very good friend brought a friend to my place, was speaking and then the person said oh, I have this land here, let's go and have a look at it. We went and then my mentor had given me a law. He said every land you touch, make sure the documents are there. So that person didn't have documentations for their land, so we didn't proceed and we're still in circle.
Speaker 1:So one sunday after the call with my co-founder, we're like 2024 is our year, that's right, it has to be this year. After all, the two to three years of it has to be this year. So one sunday on a call, we said okay, this land just filled. What must we do? Quickly we called another friend who was into real estate, which is the reason why I say that when your time has not come and you don't have financial resources, build social resource, build relationship resource, build people who can take you to your next realm of living. And what will then happen? Instantly, we called the guy, he said, oh, I'll speak to somebody, so okay.
Speaker 1:The next day he called me and said the person says he knows so-so and so of this place. Are you people ready for us to go? I said, ah, we're born ready, which will make me speak about another thing Physical universal currency Dress. Well, I may not have the money in my pocket, but I'll never go wrong in my looks so quickly. When the person said we are going to see this person, this person is this. I said don't worry. He said look good. I said don't worry, I wore my kaftan. I have this particular kaftan. You think that's half hundred billion dollars in my account. So I wore it. My co-founder dressed Smell good. I put on a very good perfume, not too expensive. That's the thing. The perfume must not be expensive to smell good.
Speaker 1:So showed up at the place and the person said what do you people want to do on the land? Then I said this is our 3D drawing. Listen, faith is faith, but the Bible says faith is a substance of things hoped for. So we had faith, but we had a substance. The man said ah, you people, you don't have land, you already have your 3Ds. I said yes, sir, when we get the land size, we'll fit the building to the land. He said you are the only person who has come here who has showed a design of what you want to do. And then, quickly, we went.
Speaker 1:Now, the long story is that, if you are listening to all of this, how did we start? We started off with the relationships pushing on the vision. Then it comes to a place where we have to start. That is where sacrifice comes in. So we live in a generation where a lot of young people want their anointings on the older generation, but they are refusing their sacrifice. So you are seeing MBA, you like what MBA is doing, but have you ever sat down to question the depth of sacrifice I put in to make the things that you see work? Now we have the land. Now we have everything. We've gone through our documentation, everything is solid. Now we want to start a project. Now where is the money? That's where the sacrifice comes in. So what assets can you liquidate? If you have a car, sell it if you, because, see, it is your dream. Nobody believes in your dream more than you. Nobody believed in this connected mind things. So you came down, set it up and had people to come in and push your resources in to make it work. That's the thing. So we put in the work, we started sacrificing, selling the cars here and again.
Speaker 1:Relationships are important me. I tell the generation that social media is a tool. Use it, don't let it use you. If you come on my social media, I teach If you come on my social media, it has to be value, from my YouTube to everywhere. You'll barely see me post my social life on social media. If I post it, then I want you to see it.
Speaker 1:But everything is well curated and engineered and posted, then I want you to see it. But everything is well curated and engineered and those were the things that dr steven had seen and he reached out. But, moving forward, I had now built a community of people who were following my body of work. Right right before real estate, bro, I tried a launch. It failed. It didn't work. I'd gone in on the whole real estate in trial with the land, and that is because I didn't have a mentor to teach. So you see who are mentors. Mentors are the lens in which we are able to see the things that we are not supposed to see, and they will guide you you think mentorship is important extremely important, extremely important.
Speaker 1:See, whenever God wants to help a man and whenever God wants to make a man wealthy on time, he introduces another man into his life. David had Kenzo Exactly David had Kenzo. Abraham had Abimelech. Ruth had the king I'm sorry, esther had the king. Ruth had Boaz. Me I have Dr Stephen. My life has been transitions of men and I have a nest Exactly. So, if you look at it very, very, very well, mentorship is extremely important. You think about it this way Moses is blessed. He has had encounters with God, he has seen God, but he doesn't understand leadership and administration. So his father-in-law, jethro, is the one that teaches him how to set up a good administrative system for the people he was leading, else he would have failed.
Speaker 3:Today you have yourself an awesome project that I'm pretty sure within the next six months to a year it should be complete.
Speaker 1:We pray. We'll put it in the work.
Speaker 3:I've seen some of the videos you posted. I myself have heard it and I was like, wow, what does the future hold for this man? But the true question is you fill up the entire UPSA, but then the young people are still waiting for item 13. Oh my goodness Futurist was speaking about this as well some other time where he says he's gone around about 16 universities and the only thing the young people were concerned about is what they are going to eat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was on that tour with him.
Speaker 3:It makes it difficult to carry on with this whole thing about changing the minds of people, because as I sit here, I haven't eaten, I haven't either. But we are giving out free information, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Absolutely that's. You see, that's a very interesting one. And I laugh because at the ups auditorium, when we finished the event, I had my team come to me. Like there's some people from legon, they are angry. They said item 13. So um, can't get cp's. A man. We provided food for those who traveled outside of Accra, but those who were in Accra we didn't provide food. Now, that event was free. So I'm hearing some of the comments. And do you know that somebody sent me a WhatsApp audio. I have the audio here I could play it.
Speaker 1:He's a student at University of Ghana. So he sent a message and he said he regrets coming for the event. Wow, yeah, he added regret. He didn't know he was chatting with me, so he said my name is Susu Enso I came from University of Ghana. The program was really blessed, but I was hungry. I didn't eat the whole day. Da, da, da, da, da da. And I'm not afraid to say that I really regret making time to come for this event. Their knowledge was good, but I regret because they said he used the word regret. So just yesterday he even sent me a message asking for one of the videos I posted on my status. So when he used regret. I just watched.
Speaker 1:I said what a generation. And then he said please may I know who I'm speaking to if they can get this information to Moses Beathard? And I said you're speaking to me because I added my number on the flyer, so that's what he picked. I said you're speaking to me. He said how? I said yes, you're speaking to me. Then he said mentor. I said no, I'm not your mentor. There is no mentee of mine that will speak. The way he spoke Doesn't matter. And I said something to him. The reason why our people lose out on the gifts that God is blessing our generation with is because of some of these things, because what the person is looking out for is food. So I said something to the Ligon people that I met today. I said are you telling me that if not for this event, you wouldn't have dinner today?
Speaker 3:Then they were quiet. Let me stop you here for a minute. If you've been watching this show, I want you to subscribe and become part of the family. We are on a journey of changing the lives of people on this channel and we appreciate you for being here. But if you haven't become part of the family, connect with us, hit the subscribe button and let's carry on the conversation.
Speaker 1:About five leg on people who are angry with my volunteers. I said yo, are you people trying to tell me that if you didn't show up here today you won't eat? And they were quiet and I said do you know what it means for a young man myself to sacrifice the resources that I can go on vacation with my wife with, or spend on my life to book a venue, to bus people to a venue, to bring a speaker from outside of Ghana, to collate speakers in here, flyers, mobilize. I did a tour across the regions to mobilize people for this event and everything was absolutely free. Why? Because I wanted to inspire a generation to think bigger, dream louder and act bolder. Why Because I wanted some and I intentionally called it Trailblazers Unite. If you looked at my lineup of speakers, I wanted people who built systems for themselves, people who came into the space, had nothing and they took it. They didn't have a seat at the table. They created the table and the chair and they sat there. So I'm bringing futurist, futurist Kamek. Futurist Kamek is arguably one of our pioneers when it comes to public speaking for our generation. Huge, huge. I'm bringing people like Pisa man, abeku and Chris because these are guys who didn't have a table. They created it and they sat down themselves.
Speaker 1:And you are listening to all of these stories and I just want you to know that, irrespective of your background as a young person, you can become something. Irrespective of, as a young man, whatever. You can rise like pizza man and employ all the people you're employing, and then somebody comes in to do this. So what will happen then is that you lose hope because for me, finishing the event, of course, there's nobody who organized an event territory that they didn't care one or two depths here and there, but you still would use your own resources to clear out the depths. That's right, but the joy is that somebody will also catch their light. So my inspiration is okay. I'll not listen to the guy who is saying I tempted thing and all of those things. What will my inspiration be? My inspiration will be that I sat in Ubon King's event in 2018. Look at the results I'm commanding today. Ubon King is one of the few men who called greatness out of me when I couldn't even see it, and I went for his event in Kishin.
Speaker 1:I entered the bus from Ghana to Nigeria because I was hungry. It's not everybody that's also hungry like the way I am. Some people enter the bus and come for the UPSA event, others you have to bus them and ignite it in them. So, regardless of everything I said to myself, moses, let's give ourselves three years. Let's give ourselves four years. Maximum, let's give ourselves five years. There will be somebody that will rise, like you, because of the impact that came from this event, just like the way I rose from Ubuntu Instincering to doing the things that I'm doing now. That is the same way. Let's give Trailblazers United five years. There's somebody that I don't even know. There's somebody who even came for the event that never even reached out to me.
Speaker 1:Who is somewhere in Konongo, who is somewhere in Ho, who is somewhere with Basque people from the north. I had people come from Togo, benin, nigeria. Who is somewhere in Ikeja, somewhere who has caught a flame and they are brooding that flame and very soon the world will see. So those are the things that inspire me to keep going on. And I remember sharing with a team. I'm like next year we're not doing a big event, next year we're doing Trailblazers, unite Campus Store and were hitting. And the person is like you never give up. I'm like no, because at the end of the day, success for me is a life that bless God at its peak and touch humanity at its core. And I get to touch people at their core by making sure that when you encounter me, you become a better version of yourself. No other way to do that than knowledge.
Speaker 3:Do you think everyone can become successful financially? No, why?
Speaker 1:Because innate in all of us. Not everybody has that innate drive, not everybody has that innate risk ability, not everybody is ready to commit a certain amount of time and resource to their destinies.
Speaker 3:But you can say that if people did they would be successful Exactly.
Speaker 1:Because you believe in the systems and the processes, you've gone through Exactly If anybody would pay attention to their life and will commit the amount of resources, time, energy, everything in building the things that they are supposed to. Success can be transferred. Success can be taught, but the question is, are you ready to pay attention to those things?
Speaker 3:Is it more of the person or the information they are receiving?
Speaker 1:It's a balance of both Right. If the information is wrong, if the information, which is the input, is wrong, it will affect the output. Number one, which is also the reason why I tell. I tell people and I'm pretty much honest about it who you learn from matters in this generation where everybody's an online teacher, prove what you are listening to. Recently, somebody came to me and said they wanted to write a book. When I heard the title of the book, I said it's a good book. I won't speak you out of it. Go and build results for the book. It will sell the book faster. That's right. And the person was like it's true. I said yes, and I said to the person if I write a book how to become a millionaire in one day, I will not sell. If Dan G become a millionaire in one day, he'll sell the reason results.
Speaker 1:So everybody can become, but not everybody will become. So, in terms of the success, in terms of everything people seek out for, it's simply because we're all not the same. Somebody will not sacrifice their time, their resource, to build capacity, to learn, to grow, to connect, to be daring. You know and I like to use that word innate ability or innate drive and fire. Not everybody has that innate drive. There are some people. They wake up and there's no sense of urgency in them. You think we need?
Speaker 3:that sense of urgency. We need it very much. But when somebody will say where are we going?
Speaker 1:Why are we going? Well, it depends on the lens you're looking at it from. Your success in life is primarily hinged on your vision. So for somebody, a Tico with some house in Amasama somewhere or Kaswa somewhere, one family they want their child to go to maybe some LA somewhere, they are okay. So, per that person's vision, that is what is fueling their drive. But you see, if your success in life is primarily hinged on your vision, then your vision will fuel the kind of things you do. Dubai wants to be number one in the world. Have you seen the things they are doing there?
Speaker 3:Do you think more people need to be more daring?
Speaker 1:Yes, it's the reason why I put together that event think bigger, dream louder, act, because he shall be like a tree planted by rivers of living water, after he said whatsoever you do with so, you can be planted. If you don't do, you will not flourish you yourself.
Speaker 3:If I ask you the one thing that has fueled apart, ask you the one thing that has fueled apart from God, the one thing physically that you have done that has fueled your level of success today. What would you say?
Speaker 1:One thing One thing Can I say?
Speaker 3:one thing yeah, I know there's several things, but just give me one thing. Hmm.
Speaker 1:Let me box it up in a thought, Because one thing it will be difficult. It's a combination of things.
Speaker 1:I know, but pick one out of it. Let's see, if I'm looking through my life and the journey that I've been on, the biggest challenge and the biggest blessing has been people. Okay, so as a leader, I've had to handle people who are older than me. I'm young. As a leader, I've had to deal with people who are older than me. There's a lens in which old people look at you. When you're young, it's been a challenge. I've had to deal with people who are equally my level and they are probably not seeing things the way you're supposed to see. I've also dealt with people who are older than me and they saw you as a mighty blessing in their lives. I've also dealt with people who are at my level, below me, and they've also seen you as a mighty blessing in their lives. So I look at it this way it's the fact that greatest blessing, greatest hack, has been people.
Speaker 1:Honor people, build relationships with people. It is very, very important Honor people and be humble. You know the thing about humility and I say it this way the most important part of your body is hidden. When Moses' face was shining, he couldn't tell his face was shining. When he had come down from the mountain, it was the people that told him. So, no matter the exploit, let the people sing their praise and then be humble, but honor people. Honor the people that are above you. Honor the people that are at your level. Honor the people that are below you. Honor the people that are at your level Honor the people that are below you.
Speaker 3:You know I usually say that. You know, virtues are very important, beautiful, but there's a threshold that you should never cross, because when it does, some people take you for an idiot. So you can be patient. Great Cross it. You're being over patient then people start. People start walking over you. Where do you draw the balance?
Speaker 1:the thing is people always be people, people always be people. So I like to give hacks and then I give thresholds. For instance, people see me very like okay, this guy, he's daring, he's this, he's that. Some of the times I can be very forbearing with the things people do because I understand it's a people thing. So I watch people play out their thing. The moment you switch and show them a very strong side of you, then they tend to go like you are proud, you are arrogant, you are this, you are that. Just let it lie.
Speaker 1:As I grow, I just come to realize not everybody can be your friend. Not everybody is meant to be in your complete, complete space. You understand? It does not mean we are enemies, we are friends. Now you draw the line with people by letting them know okay, you did this and this and this and that, this is my stance on this. Some of the times you act and your action alone creates the definition for you, because truth is, derek, you can't do your life explaining your every move to everyone. You know that. Okay, I'm patient, but please, you crossed the line with this, that's right.
Speaker 1:I would give you another chance. But you try it again and I'll take a decision and when I take it it's final. It's like I was sharing something with a friend of mine. I told him that because I'm a people's person, I really open up my heart to people I can handle. My one of my closest friends is always like how are you able to deal with this person? I said I relate with them on their strength, no matter the weakness that comes about them. I always try to relate with them on their strength because there's always good in the person. So I look at the good, I look at the good. I them on their strength because there's always good in the person. So I look at the good, I look at the good, I look at the good.
Speaker 3:Now, I said there are points where the person will cross, and when you cross you have to act, but your action should also be in love. Wow, yeah, wow. I said in previous episodes, on the 29th of august, at the british council, we're doing our first Connected Minds Live and it's only limited to 250 people. Now I can't begin to talk about some of the teachings that you guys are going to have in terms of your mindset transformation. If you've been following my Instagram and the things we've been talking about and if you love exactly what we've been doing here, we're not doing it exactly for a certain group of people. It's for people who think that they can cross that path to greatness. That's why we're doing this. That's the first connected minds live and then also the four pillars to success. If you haven't read that book, I'm gonna leave that link below in the description and then you can get access to it. If you're listening to the audio, then you can go to connectedacademycom and enter your details.
Speaker 3:Today I have got three books here, three amazing books. Very quickly, I know which one is going to be my favorite book. Me, I love thinking, so this is my favorite book, right? I love thinking. So if I see anything that comes to thinking. I know it's going to be great, but look, this man has got three books. This is the most recent one. Now, anytime I pick up a book and I recommend a book, you know I do say that there is no benefit to reading and not acting. And one of my favorite quotes by Aristotle that the purpose of knowledge is action, not more knowledge. Grab a copy of this, read it and highlight it. Don't say you know, as a matter of fact, don't read. Study the book, study the book, don't just read it. So if you're looking for it, I'm going to put it in the description as well, or you can go to Mosesosesbarthurcom right, yeah, that's the website. That's the website, because I checked it out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then you can, you can grab the book, but yeah, let's carry on, let's carry on, let's carry on wow mba is there any question that I could have asked you today in this conversation that I didn't, that you still think we can talk about?
Speaker 1:they should fuse and muse on this one, you know, they should muse on the conversations that we've had. And I think probably to wrap it up would be how that, as a generation, we should love process, we should be patient, love process, honor people. I always say that honor is such a very important and powerful thing. True honor is when we say you honor someone, is when we say you honor someone. It's your ability to, first of all, design, celebrate, reward men for their distinct, different and unique contributions to life. So your ability to design. True honor starts off with discernment. So your ability to design, so your ability to discern, your ability to celebrate and your ability to reward men for their distinct and unique contributions to the lives of people.
Speaker 1:And Anna is not human worship. That's what a lot of us may say. I always say that in Christianity we teach that all men are the same in Christ. It's true, In Christ we are all the same, but when we come to life, as far as the sacrifice and the pursuit and the push of destiny is concerned, all men are not the same. So honor men.
Speaker 1:And the easiest way to show honor is gratitude. The easiest way, the easiest way to honor a man is gratitude. The easiest way, the easiest way to honor a man is gratitude. You don't have to and it's. It's something that is missing in the generation. We don't have, we don't know how to honor, we don't know how to show gratitude. We think that the fact that you have a big man's number means that and there are little things that speak this honor. Somebody was telling me that they have this person's contact. They they message the person. The person doesn't mind them. When he showed me the chat, he has added the person to his broadcast list. I said how would the person mind you? Do you know what it means to wake up?
Speaker 1:and be broadcasting your whatever to such a person, you have abused access, you know. So it's it's. There are things that are missing in the generation that I think that with time will become better. I think that with a platform like this, people's perspectives and life will also be shaped, and I know that, with relentless focus and unshakable discipline and an obsession to be the best, anything that anybody is doing has the power to lift them up. They should just stay focused, they should just have a certain discipline and, most importantly, they should have a certain obsession to be their best. It's very important. You look at all great people. They have an underlining obsession. You may call it passion. Yes, and the Nigerians will say your passion will determine your portion you know, so your obsession will determine how much you make out of life.
Speaker 1:Somebody will call obsession passion, somebody will call it hunger or urgency, but you need it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you definitely need a positive obsession about life success. You know, I was telling the boys this morning that they have got to think of solutions, problem solving. It's very, very important. But there's something that makes me so happy for you. You know what it is. It's the fact that since I've been young, I've always been positively obsessed about money and I thank God the position I am now. I'm in my 30s. And if I didn't, if I wasn't that positively obsessed?
Speaker 3:about money from my teenage age 20s. I would have suffered now, so seeing you younger than I am and the path you are on. My brother, you've done well. I'm very happy for you, thank you. And all I just want to say is that the young people that are listening in their teens, they should not soak listening in their teens. They should not soak themselves in masturbation, pornography, lottery yeah, because it will take a lot of.
Speaker 1:Manage your time wisely. By the time you realize you are 30 years 40 years, you're on pension and you're struggling Absolutely.
Speaker 3:My question is motivation or discipline, the famous connected minds question.
Speaker 1:Motivation or discipline. You need a good blend of both. Okay, you need a good balance of both. Your motivation is usually what will get you started. Your discipline is what will get you connected and stayed on it. It's like let me use money. Okay, money, motivation or discipline. You need a certain motivation and drive to move towards making money. So I say this Making money is an action Maintaining it is a behavior. Multiplying it is knowledge. Making money is an action Maintaining it is a behavior. Multiplying it is knowledge. Making money is an action Maintaining, it is a behavior. Multiplying it is knowledge. And what you do to make money is not what you do to multiply money. So making money is an action. Your action is always motivation inspired. You want to make money. Something must inspire you to start making that money. But far beyond making the money is behavior. That's where discipline comes to play. So you don't make 10,000 Ghana CDs and you wake up and you tell me that you got some two odds. So you took 8,000 Ghana CDs and you placed it on that two odds. It doesn't make sense. Your discipline is where we're able to see your character and your habits come to play. So at that point you make 10,000 Ghana CDs. Wisdom teaches you that maybe 20% of this should go into an account for emergency. Maybe 20% should also go into an account for savings. Then 10% should probably go into maybe my recreational account for vacation or for my mental health. Then 50 percent should go towards expenditure. So out of your recreational 10 percent, you can probably take a portion of it to go and do your gambling or your bed or whatever. It's discipline, right other that that's where a lot of people lose out on it. So then, multiplying it. Then now will come to knowledge. So ask for knowledge there. You need it every now and then. But you look at it. Motivation will always start the journey, but it won't keep you there. You can't tell me that, oh, I feel inspired and motivated to do real estate. It's true, we were all inspired once. But when you jump into the arena and you are doing it, you realize that motivation is not what to buy the cement, it's not what to buy the iron rods. So the discipline will now come to play, and the discipline is where a lot of people feel Most people are inspired. Few people come to the place of discipline, and discipline is commitment. My God, my god, what's the best advice. You've ever received best advice, best advice. You've asked a hard one because I've received this question always.
Speaker 3:Guess I've received I have received so many counsels. Instead of being the best, just give us one.
Speaker 1:So many counsels, so many counsels I have received. So, so, so, so many counsels. I think that I'd give a recent one From. I sat with an elder brother of mine who is past 40, so he's been very instrumental in my life for the longest I've known him, since I was in SHS2, so it's like I'm the first born of my dad, so he's like the big brother I never had. And he turned 40 and so I messaged him and I said I'd like to hear from you.
Speaker 1:Life lessons are 40. And then he was like let's not discuss this over phone, let's meet in person. So we met and he said something to me. He said when you are 40 and above, you will regret what you didn't do more than what you did. You will regret what you didn't do more than what you did, the opportunities you didn't take, the projects you didn't start the books, you never wrote the podcast, you never recorded the song, you never sang, the painting you never completed. Because truth of the matter is that and I thought through this I said what he's saying is true.
Speaker 1:I prefer to be the guy who stands in the arena whose face is mad with dust, sweat, blood, failing, failing forward, having my life up to something than not doing anything. At least I would understand what it means to try and succeed than to have not done anything. My place in destiny and eternity will be with the cold and timid souls who never created anything and would not be an honor to God, because true honor to God is to create like he created, is to do as he did. He woke up and he created. He's the greatest entrepreneur I know. He built a business in six days. He retired on the seventh day. It's been two thousand plus years. He has eight billion people working for him and his system has him filled. Yeah, wow, wow.
Speaker 3:I was gonna ask you to recommend the book, but I won't because I've already got the books here but thank you so much.
