SIX YEARS AGO… A NEW CHAPTER BEGAN

Facebook just brought this picture back to me from six years ago.

Looking at it today, I smiled.

This wasn't just a picture.
It was a picture from the grand opening of Abide Skills Biz Concept in Ikorodu, after we moved there.

At the time, we probably didn't fully understand the significance of what we were doing.

We were simply taking a bold step.

A new location.
A new environment.
New faces.
New challenges.
New dreams.

But sometimes, great journeys begin with nothing more than the courage to move.

Six years later, I look back and realize that every stage had its purpose.

Some things worked.
Some didn't.
Some dreams took longer than expected.
Some plans changed completely.

But one thing remained:

The vision to empower people with practical skills.

This picture reminds me that you don't have to have everything figured out before you take the next step.

Sometimes, you just need faith, courage, consistency and the willingness to start.

To anyone standing at the edge of a new beginning today:

Don't be afraid to move.

Don't be afraid to start small.

Don't be discouraged because you cannot yet see the full picture.

Take the step. Build. Learn. Adjust. Keep going.

Because one day, you may look back at a picture from today and realize:

“That was where another chapter of my story began.” ❤️

Six years ago, Ikorodu was a new chapter.
Today, it is part of the story.
And the story is still being written.

Don’t Rush to Take an Apprentice Until You Understand This

Everybody wants to feel like a boss.
That feeling of someone calling you Madam or Oga while helping you sew.
It looks sweet from the outside.

But if you rush into it, it can scatter your peace, your business, and your focus.

Understand these points first:

1. Apprentices Don’t Save Time, They Cost Time First

You may think taking an apprentice will make your work faster.
At first, it won’t.

You’ll spend time teaching, correcting, redoing, and explaining the same thing again and again.
They will spoil fabric. They will sew wrong stitches.

And if you’re not patient, you’ll lose both your peace and your clients.

Apprentices are not instant help.
They are an investment of your time before they become useful.

So instead of rushing for “free help,” understand that you must give more before you gain.

2. Sewing Well Is Not the Same as Teaching Well

Some tailors sew beautifully but cannot teach to save their lives.

They get angry easily.
They can’t explain steps clearly.
They expect learners to understand everything instantly.

Teaching is a skill. It requires patience.

You must learn how to break things down slowly and clearly.
If you cannot explain with patience, you are not ready to train anyone.

3. Every Apprentice Needs Boundaries

Don’t make your apprentice your best friend or younger sister.

Set clear boundaries from the beginning:
• Time to resume and close
• Rules for touching fabrics and machines
• How mistakes will be handled
• Discipline for lateness or disobedience

When there is no structure, disrespect and misunderstanding will grow.

4. Have an Apprentice Agreement Form (Very Important)

This is where many tailors make mistakes, no written agreement.

Later, the apprentice may say,
“You didn’t teach me this,” or
“I didn’t agree to that.”

Create a simple apprentice agreement form. It should state:
• Duration of training
• Training fee (if any)
• What they will learn
• Rules of conduct
• What happens if they leave early
• What they are not allowed to do (like collecting clients directly)

This one step can save you from unnecessary drama in the future.

5. Never Take an Apprentice Out of Pity

Pity is not a business plan.

You can help people without carrying their full responsibility.

If you take someone just because “she begged,” you may end up training someone who does not respect your effort.

Be kind — but be wise.

If you’re not ready, help them find another training place.
Don’t destroy your peace because you feel sorry.

Taking an apprentice is not a bad thing.
In fact, it is a beautiful stage of growth.

But growth without structure brings stress.

Before you bring someone under your roof:
• Organize your business.
• Build patience.
• Create systems.
• Set boundaries.

Leadership is not about being called Oga.
It is about being responsible for someone else’s growth.

Prepare yourself first.

Because when you train someone the right way,
you’re not just raising an apprentice, you’re raising your legacy.

I am the kings tailor.

THE ONLY BIRD THAT DARES TO ATTACK AN EAGLE IS A CROW, BUT THE EAGLE NEVER FIGHTS BACK. HERE IS WHY:

1. The crow is the only bird bold enough to sit on the eagle's back and peck at its neck.
Relentless. Annoying.

But the eagle... stays calm.

2. The eagle doesn't flap. Doesn't fight. Doesn't waste energy. It does one thing: It rises.

3. The higher the eagle soars. The thinner the air becomes. The crow? It can't handle the altitude.

4. Eventually, the crow gasps. Loses strength...And falls off.Not because the eagle attacked

But because the eagle ascended.

5. Let the crows talk. Let them peck. You don't have to respond. Just keep going higher.

6. They can't follow you forever. Your growth will suffocate their noise.
So don't engage. Elevate.
