We live in a time when everything can constitute a distraction to you – social media being the amplifier of them all.
One of the biggest deceptions if Social media is that it makes you focus more on getting quick results with little to no regard for the process that produces them.
That’s why Ponzi schemes continue to thrive on the African continent.
Social media may have shortened the time it takes to communicate with people (through instant messaging platforms like WhatsApp), but it hasn’t really shortened the process it takes to build anything legitimate on it.
If you are thinking of building a brand of any sort online here is a frank advice from me:
Get ready to do it alone!
Social media gives you a sense of over dependence on others. Making you feel like someone else will do the work involved in building your business or brand for you.
Aside this many still let their happiness and fulfillment be regulated by the reactions gotten (likes, comments, shares, views etc) from the audience.
Hehe…let me laugh first because many people are on this table.
We all have a level of addiction to social media. That’s an undeniable fact. What makes the difference is that some have found a way to make this addiction (whether low or high) profitable while others merely admire them for doing so.
The good news? You get to decide which side you stay on.
You can be a productive social media user or a mere admirer City are needed to balance the equation)
Side Note
.We are 13 days away from 2022. When the year begins, let the name of your game be long term.
Focus more on doing things that will bring you long-term profit rather than things that will bring instant result.
Think long-term, build long-term. Be obsessed with the future more than the present. Make consistency your driver and add speed to what you do. You need these.
Three factors that will help you get better results in 2022
1. Your Knowledge base
The more you know is the more edge you have over others. You will not be rewarded for being like everyone else. You will be rewarded for your uniqueness (the difference you make). Focus more on learning what works.
2. Your execution base
It’s relatively easier to get knowledge now but many are quick to learn but slow to execute what they learn. The change is in execution and not necessarily in knowledge gotten.
Amazingly, the faster you execute is the more likely you get results. The more you delay working in things, the less likely they will work for you.
3. You willingness to fail
Stop letting fear cripple you. You need to stop being afraid if failing. See failure as part of your success.
What could possibly go wrong if you take actions?
At best you'll fail and learn from the process. But you won’t remain the same.

Its very true fear of failure shouldn’t be enough to hinder your success
