"Nothing other than making friends with rich folks" he replied.

"And what do you think is the reason behind this mission he has asked you to embark"

"Nothing much. Just to know them in person"

"What do you think is the meaning of knowing someone in person as Chief Okanta has advised you to? Do you think it is just to see them facially and collect their contacts? Listen my dear husband; I feel there is more to this than what you are thinking"

"So tell me, let me get to work, time is running out"
She held her hand and brought him inside and sat him down.

"This is my take on the issue. He wants you to know what this people did and are doing that kept them up there. It is more like knowing their success secrets. A man only reveals his secrets to his friends who are closer to him when they interact. There is also another means, one can get knowledge from his friends and that without even meeting them for a private discussion - it is by reading their books and watching their videos if they have one." The wife explained.

"And why did you think he gave me this assignment?" Audu asked.

"You know you had managed three failed business. And at that time even up until now, you don't have any business management skills. He wants you to learn them, most probably, develop a good workable business plan"

"I see, but this is going to be tougher"
"It might seem tough, but you can do it, one step at a time. You can start today. I have some savings with me. Go and buy Okamedola business book and Damfote's business outlook and success manual. You can spend three full days with them and at the end meeting them in person might not be necessary which might not even be obtainable since those guys are super busy and within the reach of the common people"

"Your idea seems perfect" He hugged his wife.

The journey started in earnest. He bought the books and more, devoured them. Trained was he fully in the art of business management. He drafted a powerful business plan. This took him barely two months and he was done.

Okanta was seated in his parlour when Audu entered and handed him everything he had on him, hardcopy and verbally. Quite convinced of Audu improvements, Chief Okanta handed Audu an open cheque to write the amount he needed to start his business.

And thus Audu got out of all his financial mess within seven months of implementing his plans. It boils down to making yourself ready before seeking for help.
