A Question for You
Welcome Note
It took 23 days to eventually write to you.
Happy New Year, Enthusiast!
It's still that year to make things right.
There are still over 340 days left to make things right in 2024.
The remaining sunlight is still sufficient to dry the clothes.1
Keep hope alive: give no room to despair.
What is left can still go far.
Work with what you have, right where you are.
There is still enough time and opportunities to win massively.
And Dami is here to inspire you all the way!
Plans for TAP in 2024.
I've got so many plans for The Aficionado.2
But, as an engineering student with other commitments to fulfil,
Actualizing those plans anytime soon isn't feasible a bit.
I am a big fan of order and structure in an organization.
I believe in systems an
And I also believe that building a lasting thing requires a lot of time, among other resources.
And growth takes time.
So, I wouldn't go all in now.
I will let time lead and follow through with every bit of it.
But,
The Aficionado Publication3 will launch properly this year.
And we will begin with The Aficionado Letter - expounding relevant ideas to help you win.
TALe is a monthly publication where a relevant idea is explained detailedly
This idea is relevant and relatable to help you win life's struggles and keep soaring high.
Also, the On series - a bit of enthusiasm in your inbox, will keep on. Series of short notes with thoughts to spur your enthusiasm.
These notes will be pretty concise and straight to the point.
The On series should launch properly in February.
You should look forward to receiving them!
One Lesson in 2023.
In one of the last notes, I mentioned that I would share a few lessons I learned in 2023 this year.
Today’s lesson is on Focus - directed attention.
If one thing, a focused mind will create reasonable results over time.
Focus is the act of concentrating solely on an activity.
“Staying focused would mean putting all of your attention on just one task until you are done with it.
And if you want to win daily in life, you must build your ability to stay and remain focused daily.
This might sound cliché, but whatever you choose to focus on will grow.”4
To win, be focused!
A Question for You
If you could try again, what would you do better?
That would be all for now, enthusiast.
Trust you are doing pretty well too
Till the next time,
Ciao 🫰🏾

This is originally a Yoruba adage.
“Òòrùn tó kù lókè tó aṣọ ọ́ gbẹ.”
Looking forward to helping many many people win life’s struggles via this brand.
The Aficionado will raise a lot of intentional folks. It's just a matter of time.
When The Aficionado launches properly, TAP is an arm of TA.
