How to Find Your Most Profitable Skill — Even If You Feel Ordinary/Average

You’re sitting on a goldmine.
But when your skill is normal to you, you’ll assume it’s worthless.

It’s not.
It’s just unrecognized, unpackaged, and unpositioned.

Here’s how to find the one skill that will pay you the most — even if you feel ordinary.
Thread

1. Stop looking for a new skill.
Your most profitable skill is rarely something you need to learn.
It’s something you’ve already done, survived, or delivered, but haven’t priced or packaged (refined) yet.

2. List what comes easy to you but hard to others.
What do people say:
“You’re good at this…”
“How did you do that?”
That’s not small talk. That’s a signal.
Ease is a clue.
Pain + confusion for others = opportunity for you.

3. Look for patterns in past results.
What do your best wins have in common?
→ What problem did you solve?
→ Who did you solve it for?
→ What changed because of your input?
The marketplace pays for repeated outcomes. Not random brilliance.

4. Run the Money Skill Filter
For every skill you list, ask:
– Does it save someone time?
– Does it save someone money?
– Does it help someone earn more?
– Would a business pay for this?
If the answer is yes to 2 or more, you’re holding a monetizable skill.

5. Stop trying to be unique. Be useful.
Many times, you don’t need to invent something new.
You need to position what you already know in a way that solves an urgent, expensive problem.

6. Use the “Cash Conversation Test”
Have 5 conversations with people in your target audience.
Ask:
→ What’s frustrating you in [area of your skill]?
→ What have you tried that didn’t work?
→ If someone fixed that fast, what would it be worth to you?
This gives you the language and the pricing.

7. Package a small win. Fast.
Don’t build a business (yet).
Don’t launch a website (yet).
Just pick one skill + one result + one person
And turn it into a low-friction paid offer.

Examples:
– “I help startup founders write investor-ready bios.”
– “I help 9-5 professionals build personal brands on LinkedIn.”
– “I help coaches craft 1 clear, high-ticket offer.”
Clarity gets clients. Complexity kills confidence.

8. Recognize your skill and act on it today.
Most people aren’t broke because they lack skill.
They’re broke because they’ve never recognized the value of their skill.

COMMENT “SKILL + MONEY” if this hits you hard and you will practice.

I SAW MY GRANDMA TÚRN INTO A CÁT AT NIGHT

My name is Kpokuechukwu. I'm the only son of my father. Or rather, I'm the only product of an intertribal union of an Igbo man and a Yoruba woman. According to my mother, she'd been childless for 8 years and had experienced 3 m¡scarriages before I was finally born. So she called my name Oluwasindara .

My parents and I used to live in the faraway city of Lagos. But one December when I was just six years old, we traveled down East to celebrate Christmas with grandma… And that was it, we didn't return to the city

Before we embarked on that journey, there was this particular dream I usually have, of a cr££py old woman scaring me. Sometimes she will throw me into a stream, thr£atening to drown me, other times she will be chasing me around a forest with either a long knife or a tongue of fire. Such a night, I will wake up sweating and crying. My mom would be there to comfort me. She would apply some ointment on my forehead, muttering silent prayers. It's as a result of these repeated occurrences that I started sleeping in my parents room. . This story belongs to Joy Ifunanya.

One Thursday evening in October, mummy was helping me do my homework in the dining room when dad walked in and told her to start making preparations.

“We shall be celebrating Christmas in the East this season”. He announced.

I was overwhelmed with excitement. I'd only heard about the village, but never really visited it. During holidays, mom usually takes me down to Badagry to stay with her elder sister who had 4 grown-up children. Although I do enjoy my times with them because there, everyone pampers me, I think traveling to the village will be more fun.

I have heard fascinating stories about the rural areas from my friends at school who were privileged to visit their hometown every holiday season. They won't stop talking about how they swim in their village streams all day long, how they go out to watch masquerade, how they go palm kernel hunting, snail hunting, crab hunting and a lot of other adventures. More interesting was how children would gather round the fireplace at night to listen to interesting folktales from the elderly women. I have been hoping to have such an experience one day.

So when dad made that announcement that evening, I couldn't control myself. I lifted my hands in the air..

“Yeah, I'm going to see grandma!”. I

Daddy smiled and patted my back. However, mummy didn't seem nearly as excited. In fact, she looked rather apprehensive.

“Dave, I'm not going to the village with you”. She asked.

Daddy frowned at her.

“Why? We haven't been to the village for ages” He asked.

“Are you asking me why? How do you even want me to travel all the way to the East in this condition?” She quarreled.

At that time, I wasn't aware that she was weeks pregnant.

“I know, dear. But trust me, you will be safe. Nothing will go wrong, I promise”. He said.

“I am still not going. I won't be traveling like this”. She insisted.

“Wuraola, I am traveling this December, I missed my mother, it's been five years. Don't you understand?”. Daddy said.

“But I'm not stopping you. I just said I am not going. That doesn't mean you can't go and see your mother”. She argued.

Daddy heaved a sigh, sat down on the chair close to her and held her hand. He then lowered his voice and began to talk to her. Though I didn't understand what he was saying because he was speaking Igbo language (I was only fluent in Yoruba language), I knew he was trying to persuade her, to make her see the reason she should embark on that journey. I watched them, my heart filled with silent.prayers that she should concur because if Mummy won't be traveling to the village, I won't be traveling either. I'm sure of that.

It was during the weekend when Mom and I were visiting her sister in Badagry that I discovered her major reason for not wanting to travel with us.

Her sister and her friends were gisting in the living room by the time we came. When Mummy announced about the intending journey to the East, her sister's reaction was intense. She seemed really upset.

“What is wrong with your husband?”. She raged. And in order to carry her friends along, she began to recount the events that transpired long before I was born.

Since no one asked me to escused them, I sat there in their midst, listening attentively and watching their lips move.

I learnt that my grandma never liked my mom. She had wanted to be the one to choose a wife for her son, HER ONLY SON, from amongst our people. But my daddy did not only reject Mama's choice, but went ahead to bring home a woman from a different ethnic background.

“Mama, this is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. Her name is Wuraola”. Daddy had said the first day he brought mum home.

“Eka aso, Mami”. My mummy had greeted, prostrating before Grandma.

Grandma's eyes turned red with rage.

“Over my dead body would my only son marry onye ofe mmanu”. Grandma had responded. She couldn't even hide her feelings.

NOTE:. OFE MMANU IS THE IGBO MAN'S NAME FOR YORUBA’S OMI OBE AND EWEDU SOUP. NO OFFENSE

But despite his mum's disapproval, daddy went ahead to marry my mom. Nobody in my father's family agreed to see reason with her. This made her h@tred of mom very strongly. So strong that she was absent during their introduction and traditional marriage ceremony.

A few weeks before their wedding, dad and mum traveled to the village to make peace with her. They knelt before her and apologized for getting married without her blessings.

She accepted their apology, and promised to attend their wedding, but with a strict condition.

“Your wife will stay back here with me for some time after the wedding”. She had told my dad.

“Hmmm, it won't be possible”. Dad said.

They returned to the city 2 days later and did their wedding without her. But barely two weeks later, they found themselves back in the village… Dad's business has collapsed.

“Nwanyi ofe mmanu bû bádluck bia n' uloa(This Yoruba woman came with bádluck)”. Grandma would taunt dad.

But dad didn't take her word to heart. Even when Mom started having a series of m!scarriages, and grandma wouldn't stop bothering him to take a new wife, he refused to give up on mum.

“You're my only son, Onyekachi. The nwanyi ofe mmanu you married is bárren! Why don't you marry Akuabata, and start giving me children. I'm not getting any younger”. Grandma would always tell him.

It wouldn't end there, she would go ahead to bring the akuabata home to do chores for her. The lady would be parading the compound in a skimpy skirt or gown. Grandma finds pleasure in making mum shed tears. She neither eats her food nor allows her to touch her belongings. Once she returned from the farm and noticed that mom was cooking soup with her pot, she got really angry, stormed into the kitchen, set the pot down from the fire, and threw the soup on the ground.

“Ahh! Mami?”. Mummy exclaimed.

“Mami micha gi onu there! Ekwensu!”. Grandma cμrsed.

With that, she went inside and came out again with a hammer and nails with which she pierced the pot in several places before flinging it into the bush.

Morning and night, mom would cry, but my dad would always be there to comfort her. It was after six wásted years that uncle Tunde, my mummy's elder brother who resided abroad, remembered his sister.

It was him who sponsored them financially. They left the village, back to Lagos, and started afresh. With time, things began to normalize, and that was when I came into the picture. Mom's pregnancy journey wasn't easy, she was hospitalized thrice due to threatened m¡scarriages. However, with Divine intervention I was brought into this world, a year after they returned to the city.
**********”*******

Though I feel sorry for her, hearing all these stories about mom's mystery didn't deter me from wanting to visit the village. In fact, my excitement only grew stronger. I was still eager to experience village life and make new memories. I couldn't wait shåre my own village experience with my friends. Thankfully, at last, Mummy agreed to the journey.

Then came D-Day. It was on December 20th. Very early in the morning, we set out for the East in my dad's car. Myself and my parents, with one woman and her infant son. The journey was tiring. I didn't imagine it was going to be so.I sleep and wake up occasionally and still find ourselves on the road. At one point, I began to cry.

“The masquerades in the village will b!te you if they see tears in your eyes”. Mom said.

I stopped crying instantly and wiped my tears. As the evening drew in, we continued driving until the woman and her son dropped off at a junction. We then turned onto an untarred road, which seemed to stretch on forever. This story belongs to Joy Ifunanya.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, we drove into a wide compound and halted in front of a thatched-roofed bungalow. An old woman was sitting by the side of the wall, picking something from a calabash on the ground in front of her.

“Here we are!” Daddy announced.

“Village?” I asked, excitement building inside of me.

“Yeah! Grandma is here”. Daddy said, pointing towards the old woman.

By now, the woman had looked up from the calabash and was staring at our car.

“Grandma!”. I screamed out excitedly, and without waiting, I threw open the car door and leaped out

“Grandma, grandma!”. I chanted as I ran towards her.

But as I drew closer enough to behold her face, my feet seemed to freeze of their own accord. A chill rippled through my body, raising goosebumps on my skin.

Grandma was the same woman who had haμnted my dreams….

MANAGEMENT

Management is the process of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the resources of an organization in order to achieve specific goals efficiently and effectively. It is about making the best use of people, time, money, and materials to accomplish tasks and reach targets.

DISCUSSION OF MANAGEMENT

Management is essential in every human setting, whether in a home, school, church, government, or business. Without good management, even abundant resources can be wasted. Management involves directing efforts toward a common goal by coordinating people and activities. The four key functions of management are: planning (deciding what to do), organizing (arranging resources and tasks), leading (guiding and motivating people), and controlling (checking performance and correcting deviations). A good manager ensures that the organization works smoothly, resources are not wasted, people are motivated, and goals are achieved.

100 FUNDAMENTALS OF MANAGEMENT EXPLAINED

3. ORGANIZE RESOURCES WISELY – Resources like people, money, and tools must be arranged in the best way to avoid waste and delays.

13. SET PRIORITIES – Not all tasks are equally important. Managers should focus on the most important tasks first.

20. BE OPEN TO FEEDBACK – Managers must welcome suggestions and corrections from others to improve performance.

21. EVALUATE PERFORMANCE – Managers must regularly check how well individuals and teams are doing their jobs.

22. REWARD GOOD WORK – Recognizing and rewarding good performance encourages others to work harder.

Dating a single mother sometimes may be risk.
When I met my wife was in 2010, she had a child, 4 years old then. She was a single mother, working hard to provide for herself and child. She was only 27 years old. I was 30, I needed a good woman to marry.
When I met her, I didn’t let the fact that she was a single mother affect how I saw her. I treated her with so much love and respect.
She told me the man responsible for her child abandoned her when she was pregnant so I took responsibility of the child. I changed his name to mine after I married the mother.
I’ve done nothing but love this woman with everything in me. I put her kid in a good school and established a good business for her to operate. I never took a penny from her business, I only put in more money for her to expand and be a boss of her own. She bought her own car aside what I gave her in 2021 and started building a house she claimed she wanted her mother to occupy.
We have two kids together, making three in total. I’ve only been a good father and husband to my family. I don’t interfere in my wife’s business, I respect her ideas so I only encourage her to grow.
I work full time, I’m my own boss but I still make sure I go to work everyday and spend the normal hours I’ve to at work. My wife does same but sometimes I try to visit her at work and on several occasions, I met her absence. Her excuse was always, she went to check on some materials. I have always believed her.
Three months ago an issue of DNA came up at work. One of my employees said he went to do it after he discovered his wife was still in contact with one of her ex lovers but the result was positive, he was the father of his children.
That drove me to conduct a DNA on my own kids. I thought it was a waste of money at first, but after careful consideration, I decided it was necessary, since my wife was once with someone before me.
I never saw or heard her talk of this baby daddy since we met. I doubted the results would be anything else than what will say the kids are mine. After all, I even changed her child’s name to mine.
So the results came out two weeks ago. I went for it and when I checked, neither of the kids are mine. I was so shocked! I said nothing, I only stayed away from the house for three days so I could calm down. After that, I invited her parents and mine over and made her read the results of the test to them herself. She didn’t know why I called the meeting, I shocked her and everyone else.
She confessed at the meeting that the kids were all for Owura, her baby daddy. The man she claimed abandoned her. She was using my money to feed Owura. Owura was occupying the house she claimed to be building for her mother. Owura knew me all along. My wife would go and stay at his place for hours and then return to the house, saying she’s from work.
, I took everything from her. Every single penny. Even the house and car she bought for herself, I took it. I told her to take me to court if she wanted. I sent her away with the kids to go and stay with their father. Only thing I didn’t touch was her bank balance, if she had any.
Over 14 years that I was with her, she did nothing but deceive me. Make a fool out of me. I regret ever meeting her. I live in pain and regret every day sir.

Wetin Naija Churches Dey Do?

- Praise Fowowe

I just finished lecturing the first class of the family life ministry program for ministers in North America. I had to stay awake here in Nigeria to take that class. One discussion point is how well we have influenced the world. As i left the class i sat back to reflect and decided to write about the impact of the charismatic movement in Nigeria.

In a time where it has become fashionable to drag the Church…
Where cynicism is now mistaken for intelligence,
And many have built entire brands around pointing fingers at pulpits,
Permit me today to ask a question with deep reverence in my heart:

Wetin Naija churches dey do?

Because if you look beyond the noise,
If you silence the sarcasm and let your spirit observe,
You will see something breathtaking.

I was at The Platform Africa organized by Pastor Poju Oyemade and hosted with such elegance by Covenant Nation
And there I sat, humbled…
Watching two of the youngest founders on the lineup,
Lighting up the stage with wisdom far beyond their years.
Guess what?
They were both products of Covenant University
A vision birthed by Bishop David Oyedepo.

In a world that questions what churches are doing,
I saw what the church has done.
Not just in words, but in evidence.
These weren’t preachers. They were builders.
And yet, they were fruits of the altar.

The Church is Building Quietly…
While many are tweeting and tearing down,
The Church is training leaders, healing bodies, building systems,
Feeding nations, and raising kingdoms often without fanfare.

Let's examine what a few more are doing...

Covenant Nation – Enlightening the Mind
Through The Platform Africa, they are raising civic consciousness, driving advocacy, nation building, policy reform
Not in the spirit alone, but in the boardrooms of power. They are building a critical team of intelligent christian who are mastering the priestly and kingly dimension of things

Daystar Christian Centre – Raising Leaders
Led by Pastor Sam Adeyemi, they’ve built a leadership factory.
Quietly, powerfully, they are equipping ordinary people to lead extraordinary lives.
In business, in governance, in families—Daystar alumni are everywhere. I am sure you know I am a member of Daystar

Elevation Church – Healing Bodies through Ubomi
Pastor Godman Akinlabi is not just preaching grace
He’s deploying grace in the form of surgeries, health outreaches,
And radical medical intervention for those who can’t afford it.
Ubomi is saving lives—literally.

RCCG – Building a Medical Village
The Redeemed Christian Church of God is not just praying for the sick. They’ve built entire villages of healing,
Where medical care meets ministry, and hope walks the hallways like a doctor.

And There Are Many More…
From prison outreaches to orphan care,
From schools in remote villages to rehabilitation centers for drug addicts,
From teenage pregnancy interventions to trauma healing systems
The Nigerian Church is doing far more than you think.

You must have noticed i intentionally skipped the orthodox churches because they educated majority of us and without them many of us may not have survived the healthcare systems. I will speak about them later.

But we have become so used to miracles,
That we miss the movement.
We are so addicted to drama,
That we overlook the quiet hands building nations behind the veil.

🙏🏾 Let Me Say This Clearly:
The Nigerian Church is not perfect—but she is powerful.
She may be bruised, but she is beautiful.
She may be misunderstood, but she is moving mountains.

So today, I pause to say:
Well done.
To every pastor, usher, intercessor, media crew, church cleaner, children’s minister, health worker, architect, administrator…
To the churches you’ll never see on TV,
To the missionaries who gave their youth to unreached places—
Thank you. We see you. Heaven sees you.

We Will Tell Our Children…
That in the middle of confusion and criticism,
There were altars that stood.
There were churches that built.
There were shepherds who loved.
There were temples where healing flowed.
And in that sacred space, Nigeria found hope again.

So the next time someone asks:

“Wetin Naija churches dey do?”
Smile gently…
And say:

“They’re raising kings. They’re healing nations. They’re changing the story.”

With all my love,

Praise Fowowe

Patient Love in the Storm

Final Episode: The Bloom After Rain

Years passed. The storms didn’t stop, but they learned to dance through them. Kelechi finally found his break — a small business that grew from a street hustle into a name people trusted. It was slow, painful, and built on more setbacks than successes. But every time he thought of quitting, he remembered Adanna’s hands wiping his face that rainy night.

They moved into a real home. Nothing extravagant — but dry floors, steady light, and a door they could lock with peace. The first thing he bought wasn’t a TV or car — it was a bed. A proper bed, because he remembered how many nights she curled beside him on the floor without complaint.

Adanna never asked for much, yet she received everything. Not in diamonds or designer clothes, but in love that was proven.

Kelechi told anyone who would listen, “I didn’t rise alone. She held me up. She watered my dreams with her patience.”

Their story wasn’t the loud kind. It was quiet, like that lantern in their old room — always glowing, even in the storm.

Because real love isn’t just about the good days. It’s about who stays when there’s nothing to stay for… except love itself.
