The $50k gift I never got — so I’m giving it away

Hey, you made it in.

Which already makes you different from 99% of people who scroll, swipe, and never take the first step.

So let’s get one thing straight:

I didn’t start with connections.
I didn’t have rich parents.
I didn’t even have stable electricity 💀

What I did have was delusion. The kind that made me write down:

"One day I’ll build a business that makes $50,000 a year."

That used to be the dream since I was 20, and knew it was possible to make money online.

Now I’m 25.

In April 2025, my consulting firm crossed the $100,000 mark in contracted revenue for a single month, and we received about $92,367.32 of that money in upfront cash collected for the services we provide.

No Silicon Valley co-founder.
No daddy money.

I started from $0, and at some point, I even owed over $15,000 in borrowed money.

Because here’s what that $100k month really cost me:

📍Feb 21, 2023: My business partner loaned $10,000 from a friend for our first business mentorship.
It cost us an additional $5,000+ just to implement the lessons.

🎄 Dec 27, 2023: While everyone made merry, I paid another $5,000 to level up even more.

📍April 22, 2025: My business partner, Hanna, and I wired up to $30,000 to my $30M mentor to learn directly from him.

Add it all up, and you’ve got $50,000+ spent on mentorship and execution.

And that is what I’m giving away inside this newsletter.

So why am I giving it all away?

Because there’s a version of me—younger, broke, underestimated—who could’ve benefited from this.

And if you’re reading this, you might be in your own version of that story.

I know there are hardworking, delusional dreamers out there— just like I was—willing to do the work…

They just need the direction.

This newsletter is for them. For you.

What to expect from me:

- Real stories behind the strategy
- Tactical breakdowns you can apply
- The mindset rewiring required to play at a higher level
- The mistakes I made so you don’t have to repeat them
- The best HipHop songs from the 90s, and
- Why FRIENDS is better than How I Met Your Mother.

What I ask from you:

Read the emails.
Take action.
And send me a reply anytime — even just to say “Ore, this one slapped.”

Welcome to the list!

Cheers to growth,
Ore Adesina.
