4 Internet Business Success Lessons From 9ice!
Popular music sensation, Abolore Adegbola Akande, better known as 9ice is currently enjoying the success of his single, entitled: Gongo Aso.The wave making hit is the most popular song on radio today in Nigeria.This post is not about Gongo Aso,but about lessons you can learn from the musician that will assist you achieve your Internet Wealth dreams.
Well,I know you want to know if I’m a fan of 9ice.Yes and no.Yes because the guy has something all successful people must have-originality.No because I am not a lover of ‘hard-hitting gbam-gbam’ songs.I prefer my songs slow and soul-touching like the Celine Dions,Mariah Careys,Whitney Houstons,etc
Ok,so what Internet Business Lessons can you learn from 9ice?
Lesson No 1-Originality.To succeed on the net,you’ve got to be original.You will agree with me that 9ice’s music is 100% original,it is not a clone of someone else’s music.He does his music in his own way and if you are looking for success online,you’ve got to be original.Don’t let your Internet Business be a carricature of someone else’s business,have an original concept and work at making it a success.Does that mean if there is a concept on the net that is working,you cannot adopt it?You can but as much as possible,inject your own personality into it,adapt it for your own purposes.
Lesson No 2-Seeing your success before it comes.9ice sang Gongo Aso when Gongo had not so(sorry if you don’t get my drift).What I am trying to say is that he predicted in that song that the world was going to celebrate him and his prediction has come to pass,so,if you want to succeed online,you’ve got to start seeing your success in your mind’s eye and start telling people,you are going to succeed online and I tell you,you will be able to attract all the success you need online into your life.It doesn’t matter if you have been working at it for months or even years.Your success will come if you believe and start confessing it now like 9ice.
9ice throws more light on this in an interview he had with The Sun Newspaper recently.”Well, I think that, for a couple of years now, a lot of good things have been happening in my career, glory be to God Almighty. The most recent, which everybody has embraced now is Gongo Aso. This is a song I wrote two days before recording it and after listening to the beat several times, I added one or two things and recorded it. The song talks about souls that have been pushed to the wall and everybody seems to be against them, yet you are telling them that Gongo Aso. That means there will be a breakthrough in spite of the odds and the whole world will know. For me, that is already happening now.”
On the idea behind Gongo Aso,he said,”I wasn’t down when I wrote the song but I have spent most of my life fending for myself. Although, my parents are still alive, I was the one taking most of the decisions such as payment of school fees and making the choice of career. It is like a soul, which has been deprived of so many things, which other kids enjoy. The experience has been there and when inspiration came, I just wrote.”
Do you also notice how 9ice boasts in his songs? In Street Credibility(I particularly love this song because it invokes the spirit of patriotism in me) which he did with 2face,he really did boast and I tell you,that’s the power of positive thinking and confessing at work and only recently,the young man was invited to sing at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday party in the UK.See the power of positive thinking and confession.
Lesson No 3-Strategic Partnerships.9ice has done a lot of collabos and he himself agreed that most of the songs which brought him to limelight are songs he featured in for other artistes like 2Shotz’s Make Them Talk, Ruggedman’s RuggediBaba and 2Steps Shokishombolo. He also has a collabo with Ruggedman and 2face.Now,if you are looking for Internet success,having a strategic partner may be the way out of the woods for you.Just sit down and think,who are the major players in this Niche in which I want to operate? Once you have figured them out,email or call them.Some of them will agree,others will turn down your offer.Don’t fret,just move on with those that accepted your offer and I tell you,your journey to Internet success would have begun.
Lesson No 4-Hardwork.9ice talks about not sleeping in his house for days whenever he is recording.Hear him:”I have been trying to complete work on the album. I have also been busy shooting videos, aside other shows and tours, which I’m involved in. For a month, I haven’t slept in my house. I have my clothes, brush, and toothpaste in the booth of my car.”If you also want to succeed online and enjoy the glamour and money that comes with it,you’ve got to work hard.There is no substitute for hard work online.Just forget about making it online if you don’t want to keep late nights fashioning out this ‘Internet Business thing.’
That’s it,4 Internet Business Lessons I have learnt from 9ice and which I’m sure you have also found useful.

Madam Iyabo Oyawale,
If you and other readers would permit me, please permit me, permission taken, and I am sure the permisssion had been granted. Having done that, Your other name will be called
“BIG MUM”. In that you are willing from the bottom of your heart to assist any one willing to learn, and at the same time ready to release all info availble at your disposal at a free cost or almost free. This was made known to me in that I requested for certain secrets which you released unto me without a dyme, most internet gurus will demad cash in return for such info. To acquire wealth is good, but others need to be helpe to grow, where practicable, where such info could be given away free of charge or at a reduced rate to assist beginners
The article indicates that everyone should come up with spirit of originalty.
Pessimistic should be averted, but to be optimistcally inclined always.
Your gospel about 9ice charismatic, taught a lot lof lessons
for this and coming generations.
It is a good research carried out about people within our vicinity. Keep it up
You are perfectly right about originality which is been just yourself and nobody else…. Nice actually came out because he is ORIGINAL just like ASA my favorite also, originality makes you enjoy what ever you are doing just like myself that had to resigned because I was not always happy from going to work from Monday to Friday which I had to wake up as early as 5am to get to the Island and to be back by 9-10pm tired and stressed. I have actually not made any money from the net but I believe that I will with time…..
PLS>> JUST PUT ME THROUGH
Thanks
