HOW TO CONNECT WITH HIGH-VALUE PEOPLE

Going to people’s dm and asking to be mentored isn’t the way to go!

High value people value their time so much and won’t give it to just anyone for free.

So how do you connect with them?

1. Be Valuable Yourself

You attract what you carry.

High-value people can smell desperation from a mile away, but they also recognize VALUE when they see it.

What skill do you have?

What problem can you solve?

What makes you different? Start there.

Build something. Even if it’s small. Just be doing something for yourself first!

2. Show Up Where They Are

It’s not by commenting “I tap into your grace” under their posts.

Attend their webinars.

Join online communities.

Show up in places they’re likely to be.

And when you get in, don’t go and start begging for visibility.

Instead, contribute. Add intelligent inputs.

Ask thoughtful questions. Share some of your wins. It’s attractive.

3. Use Your Content to Position Yourself

Your content is your loudspeaker.

Let it speak about your expertise, your values, your journey.

When they come across your page, what will they see?

Complaints? Confusion?

Or clarity, consistency, and commitment to growth?

4. Offer Value Before Asking for Anything

You want to DM a high-value person to connect with him or her!

Ask yourself first: “What am I offering this person?”

Even if it’s just a genuine compliment, a thoughtful idea, or something helpful.

Don’t just enter with “I need your help(for free) or “Please be my mentor”

That’s not going to work.

5. Let God Do His Networking

Not everything is by hustling.

Some connections will find you when you’re faithful with what’s in your hand.

Do your part. Sow your seeds. Serve well.

And then let God position you for divine connections. One helper from God can shift your whole story.

Last last, no dey form who you’re not.

Avoid fake life. Just do what you’re supposed to do.

Because when your light starts to shine, trust me, they will find you.

SIX (6) WAYS MEN CAN ESCAPE POVERTY

∆. Get the right woman - Forget the slay queens and women with looks but zero brains. Get a woman who will not only support your vision but will also push you to achieve more. A woman who will inspire you to work hard and not a woman who just makes you hard. He who finds a real woman finds a good thing and obtains favour and power to create wealth.

∆. Stop Taking Cheap Drinks - I have no problem with having drinks during social interaction and networking. However, when you drink cheap drinks or drink in cheap places, you hang out with cheap people who have cheap ideas and a cheap future. Big business opportunities are found in places where the drinks are expensive. In fact, in places where they sell cheap drinks, the only people you will find there are people who will be asking you for money. They even clap when you come knowing 'big buyer' has come.

∆. Stop being Lazy - "Man ooh Man, why art thou Lazy?" You are too lazy for your own good. You sleep the whole day and blame the government for your poverty. "A Little Sleep, a Little Slumber, poverty shall overtake you like a political cadre in overalls". A lot of men are just lazy when it comes to making money. They have enough energy to give a woman five orgasms, but have no energy to start one organization, that's why it is so easy for men to manufacture children than it is to make even pegs for putting children's clothes on the line..

∆. Know Productive Things - If you keep too much junk in your head, you get a junk life. I know a lot of men who are so sharp when you are talking about girls, about soccer and about street politics, Who is Rich who is not,Who has a good house but you can't bring a topic about investment, innovation and business, they start looking at their phone, yawning or saying bye.. Useless things, videos and memes go viral fast than constructive things.. A man must know how to do at least one productive thing (have one skill) even without having gone to college.

∆. Get Connected to Big Men Who are better than you - A lot of men are failing because they are not mentored. They don't have anyone to whom they can sit down and listen, with obedience. In the old days, old men would sit young men down and show them how to hunt and kill animals... and no man was considered a man enough until he has personally killed an animal... now these men of nowadays are not mentored and can't even kill a bird. There are men out there who have made it in life, find a way to get mentored by big men who are making waves and impacting people in our community.

∆. Work - Stop Spending your whole day just praying and fasting yet you know that both Quran and Bible tells you that God will bless the work of your hands. Yes yes The blessing finds you on your way doing something,Stop using Prayer as an excuse not to work. Work hard.

It’s an error for your pockets to be empty and your brain to be empty too.

Writing isn’t just a skill, it’s a superpower.

And for me, it’s my superpower.

I had the incredible opportunity to connect with brilliant writers, exchanging insights, experiences, and real, actionable steps to mastering the craft.

The energy in the room was electric, youths hungry to learn, eager to grow, and deeply passionate about the art of writing.

Writing is second nature to me. That’s why bringing Network Like a Pro to life felt effortless.

Mark your calendars, something big is coming! Come and learn from industry leaders as they share their experiences and actionable steps to building a powerful and effective network.

CAREER PATH TO CERTIFIED REGISTERED NURSE ANAESTHETIC (CRNA). ONE OF MOST PAID PROFESSION IN 2024!
Becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) requires several years of education, clinical experience, and certification. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the career path:

Step 1: Earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)

Obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, which typically takes 4 years.

Pass the NCLEX-RN exam to become a Registered Nurse (RN).

Gain state licensure as an RN.

Step 3: Gain Critical Care Experience

Work as an RN in a critical care unit (ICU, ER, or similar high-acuity setting) for at least 1-3 years (CRNA programs typically require ICU experience).

Step 4: Earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice in Anesthesia (DNP-NA) or Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice (DNAP)

Enroll in a Doctoral-level CRNA program (DNP-NA or DNAP).

Programs typically last 3-4 years and include didactic coursework and extensive clinical training in anesthesia.

Some schools may still offer a Master’s in Nurse Anesthesia, but a doctorate is becoming the standard.

Step 5: Pass the National Certification Exam (NCE)

After completing your CRNA program, pass the National Certification Exam (NCE) administered by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA).

Step 6: Obtain State Licensure and Start Practicing

Apply for a CRNA license in your state.

You can now work independently or within a healthcare team in hospitals, surgical centers, pain clinics, or military settings.

Step 7: Maintain Certification and Continue Education

CRNAs must complete recertification every four years and continuing education (CE) credits to stay updated with industry standards.

Timeline Summary:

1. BSN – 4 years (or 1-2 years for ABSN)
