I want to share something important with you: you see, be a person of value, integrity, and great character.
The significance of this cannot be overemphasized. Life is far more vast and unpredictable than we often realize, and you can never tell how far you can go.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without God (ultimately) and without the strength of my character.
Building TEBEBA to its current state was made possible by upholding my values and and developing a strong character.
Right from the outset, I made a conscious decision not to let money become my driving force. I saw many cheap avenues to make money, but I remained motivated by my purpose and stayed true to my principles.
Initially, it was tough to gain clients as I lacked recognition and had no major brand endorsements. I was unknown and I hadn’t worked with any notable person.
However, someone eventually entrusted me with a ghostwriting project, and that was when things began to change. From that one person, I got to work with another, and then another, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Today, I have clients who haven’t met me in person but trust me enough to pay upfront for my services. Many clients have even made full payment of their job without sending their project yet. This is how much trust I have earned from people.
Today, I had a call with an international client who had approached us years ago. He expressed that he can’t trust just anyone with his ideas, but he trusts me implicitly. We’re currently on one project for him, and now he is entrusting us with another.
I share this journey to emphasize the immense importance of being a person of value and character. Let your actions and ethics speak for themselves. If you embody these qualities, you will be amazed by the level of influence and trust you can garner.
So if you think being truthful, honest and faithful is old-school, think again.
I am Emmanuel, the exceptional being.
