Don't Sell Yourself Short For A Long Term Relationship



Relationships are businesses!

Plain and simple!!!

To have a mature and productive relationship you can understand, you need to have a sound business mind.

Else...your relationship is damned from the get-go.

If you don't understand your relationship, you are being cheated already.

Just like businesses, a relationship sole goal is conversion.

Most ladies want to convert their boyfriend's to husbands.

Some guys want to convert the woman they love to wife.

Other girls just want to convert the pot belly, rich looking zaddy to sugar daddy.

The handsome stranger wants to convert the beautiful damsel to fuck mate.

The call girl wants to convert the guy that loves patronizing call girls to customer.

Yahoo boys want to convert the oyibo to maga.

Everybody wants something that caters to their interest.

Sexual or financial!

In the end, either it's sex, money, both or companionship.

We are all in the business of conversion, one way or the other

So when you strike or initiate a conversation, marketing and negotiation has begun.

Conversation is the currency that ties and reveals the value of the person of interest.

Some are good at it.

Others are very good.

Some are poorly skilled.

If you think you are neutral, you are a product on the shelf!

Someone, somewhere is already pricing you.

It could be your neighbors son that always smiles at you, or even his father.

The customer you buy lace materials and other quality goods from.

Maybe your landlady whose husband is aged and never around.

That your customer in the market who is known to be aggressive, but always sweet with you.

Or your boss in the office, perhaps?

Even your colleague at work.

Finally, your church member or the choir Master.

Better pick a side or one will be selected for you.

You will end up a product except you understand and learn the business of relationship.

Then you will be at an advantage point to strike the deal on your own terms.

Sales happen at different points in life.

Most times you don't even know you are selling or buying.

Don't sell yourself short by being ignorant.

Don't buy crap either by being desperate.

The second you wake up and walk out the front door, uncle, aunty, business has started.

Always think conversion.

It is the next step from stranger to whatever destination you want to ship to.

Whether friendship, relationship, or courtship.

It all starts from sale.

Never sell yourself short.

Put a premium on your character.

It is your strongest marketing suit and strategy.

Have a premium worth, it cost nothing yet it's of premium standard.

Don't sell yourself short for a long term relationship.

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

Solomon's Lair!

Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

Riotous Love

I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
