Some of you are sitting around waiting for your boss to notice your potential.
Let me tell you something:
Your job is not your purpose.
Your salary is not your value.
And your employer is not your destiny.

You’re spending your best years being “a good employee.”
Loyal. Timely. Polite.
But you’re not building anything that belongs to you.

You’ve never opened a side hustle.
Never written a blog.
Never posted your work online.
Never tested your skills outside the comfort of that job title.

One HR decision and you’re done.
Back home. Back to square one. Back to “I’m currently looking for opportunities.”

Why?

Because you forgot to grow yourself.
You got addicted to the structure.
You relied too much on that monthly SMS from M-Pesa.

Here’s the truth nobody wants to say:
You will never grow rich working for someone else.
You might grow stable. You might grow experienced.
But freedom? It comes from what you build for yourself — not what they allow you to do.

So wake up.
Use that Wi-Fi. Learn something new. Package your skills.
And stop expecting the same job that drains you to also develop you.

Your boss is not your mentor.
They’re your employer.
That’s it.

Thank so much for your kind Attention

You’re not broke because there are no jobs.
You’re broke because you’ve convinced yourself that the only way to make money is by being employed.

Let me ask you a simple question:
If your employer called you today and said “We’re letting you go,” would you survive?

I’m not talking about surviving with rent arrears and begging relatives.
I mean would you eat? Would you pay your bills? Would you still have dignity?

Most people are not unemployed — they’re unskilled.

You know how to wake up early.
You know how to smile at meetings.
You know how to pretend to be busy for 8 hours.
But you don’t know how to survive outside the structure of a salary.

That’s the real problem.

We grew up thinking employment is the goal.
It’s not. It’s just one route — and for many, it’s a trap.

There are people who were fired 3 years ago and never recovered.
Why? Because they had no skill that could feed them.
They had titles, not tools.

If you can’t write, design, code, sell, edit, teach, analyze, fix, build, or run something on your own...
Then you’re not safe.

And deep down, you know it.

So instead of waking up every day to complain about Cameroon or the economy —
Ask yourself one thing:
“What can I do that someone will pay me for... even if I’m jobless?”

Until you have that answer, you’re not working — you’re waiting.

Thank so much in advance for your responses.
