Dad left Nigeria for America to leave something. The goal: a family trust of $20–30 million that the whole family has a stake in, and a family pulled closer by what I build.
Make my father proud, and finish what he took the risk for.
Do the hard thing, as a family.
Show up. Call. Keep your word.
Kids who are philosophers.
And warriors. Wealth that stays in the family.
Standing rule: I want the best for her. I'm open to building a life with her if she wants it. Never forced.
Reconnect the family now, while Dad is here → build the wealth through the third dynamic → put it in a family trust with a small stake for each member → raise the next generation on W·D·A·A.
Every item on this scale has to agree with every other item and with the goal.
Major · Primary (somebody there → purpose → responsibility → structure → held → operating) · Vital · Conditional · Operating · Production, set last.
He's in poor health. This one doesn't wait.
