I almost quit!

I remember when I had just started my real estate business in 2015. I delved into real estate because I wanted to make money to give my family the kind of life they deserved.

Few years down the line, I ran into debt without taking a loan from anyone. I couldn’t afford to pay for the office rent at Ikeja and we had to park up and set up the office in my 1 room and parlour house at Sango-Ota.

My clients didn’t believe in my vision of building Africa’s first green and smart homes, hence they asked for a refund of their money. That was how I become a debtor. Moreso, it looked as though I was saying gibberish, because I didn’t look like the vision I had set for myself.

I was tempted to abandon my vision and take a job so I could fend for my family, and today, I am grateful to God I didn’t. If I did, you wouldn’t be hearing of Dr. Stephen Akintayo today, and I wouldn’t have impacted the many lives I have across the world.

I gathered the pieces of my life and started out again. I had no helper, but I didn’t let the lack of money then blind me from my great vision of tomorrow.

All these things happened in this same Nigeria we are in. I often hear many people say, “I am where I am because I don’t have anybody to help me.” I laugh because they don’t have the will.

When there is a will, there is always a way. Help only comes when you start. When people see you executing your vision they get attracted to you to help you. Today, I have partners in Dubai, U.K, U.S, and many countries in Africa.

All these things were possible because I didn’t allow my lack of money blind me from my vision. I didn’t fold my hands looking for help. It’s not what you don’t have that limits you, but what you have and don’t know how to use it.

It is possible only if you let it. Don’t forget to sign up for the real estate masterclass at www.gtextandassociates.com/rem in Lagos this Saturday and change the trajectory of your life.

Real estate changed my life, and it can change yours too.

I love you,
