Ola of Lagos, Olayinka Akinwande, a top Nigerian luxury lifestyle influencer, car enthusiast and entrepreneur, has explained an ideal way he motivates himself to avoid becoming lazy and make more money.
In an interview on the KK Show, he said one of his ways to stay motivated to make money and keep making money is to avoid sleeping in his own house. He believes that resting too much and living in his own house would not give him enough pressure to make as much money as he should.
He Claims N50m Rent Gives Him More Pressure to Hustle
Ola of Lagos explained that when he wants to make more money, he prefers to rent an apartment and it costs N50 million yearly. He believes that remembering the huge amount he has to pay at the end of the year would push him to double his hustle instead of becoming too relaxed.
