THE JOURNEY
When Adesola turned 35, she asked herself key questions as she took responsibility for where she was in life. All roads led to the following- 'What is the point of all this?' 'How can I live purposefully, with no limitations?' 'How can I secure my daughter's future?' 'How can I make a positive impact in this world?' She concluded her self-discovery session with the question 'How to make a million?' and so #HTMAM was born. She set the goal and timeline 5 years to achieve it.
What she discovered was in line with her purpose as a mentor and teacher. She was mastering herself and steering her own boat, not just managing to balance it to a prosperous future. She sought the help of a Life Coach in the first year of her journey and at the start of her second year, she was led to share it all. Year 2 was about financial literacy and educating herself on how money works for you, not the other way round. Year 3 was about generational wealth which led her to seeing ways to build equity in her community. Now in her 4th year, which she calls her asset and year, she believes that the constant worry of money limits people from truly achieving their potential and thus their purpose to serve humanity.
She decided to build a pathway based on her experiential journey of self-mastery, self-discovery and financial freedom to enable others to gather the adequate resources needed to be the change they wish to see in this world! See her journey so far in her own words...
1Year 1| Cocoon
2017/ 2018
This year was all about Self-Care. I had to gain a deeper understanding of myself in preparation for my #HTMAM journey and I did not do this alone. I sought the help of a Life Coach Erica Marasco who has now launched published her method in her first book with my former company More Media International. I have transitioned into a role in a tech company as an Associate Strategy & Marketing partner. Catch my skills now backed with a solid team at Hexagonal IT Solutions U.A.E.
2Year 2| Educate & Plan
2018/ 2019
This year was all about educating myself from different sources to achieve my goal. I launched a second podcast to interview and learn from millionaires, published a book for entrepreneurs, sold digital guides, secured a remote management position in a tech firm, invested in 3 mobile apps and started a for-profit beauty business with my mum, sister, and daughter.
I expanded my network intentionally by surrounding myself with like-minds, I read a lot, attended webinars, seminars and got a CFP on board. The goal is to find a formula, a path that suits me. You too can start with my 7 sources of income sheet and my 5-year roadmap coming soon.
***Update***
I have successfully completed phase 2 6months ahead of schedule. I am now in Phase 3!
3Year 3| Keep it in the Family
2019/ 2020
I have begun executing and applying all I have learned and tweaked advice I got in the first 2 phases. This came around sooner than I expected. I have finalized 2 sources of income from my 7 Sources of Income sheet and have successfully launched a third. There is a twist though and you will find out more from the title series 3 of my podcast: Generational Wealth. You guessed it, I brought my immediate family along.
We launched a for-profit beauty brand Chocolate & Cinnamon. It has been a revealing experience and the key to success is not to smile and bear it but to be firm on roles so wires do not get cross. Another tip is to find out what each members personal lifestyle goals are and create pathways to help them achieve it.
Partnered with 2 amazing women and launched Sheba Venture Partners. We pooled resources and invested in 10 startups owned by Pan-African women, Immigrants and Youths.
Find out more in Series 3 of The HTMAM Journey Podcast.
4Current- Year 4| Assets & Equity
I don't know about you but 2020, Rona Year threw a massive spanner in the works. I had to change strategies and at Sheba, we decided to invest in only 10 companies every 5 years with our own cash. This means in a few years, i will have achieved No 5 on my 7 Streams of Income List.
I have to say interest is not looking great but learning how compound interest works and will let you know how that goes. Savings could be better but investing and injecting capital into a HyGear Technologies took the wind out of me. However I know hold the title of inventor with 2 patents pending(Asset) and more on the way. Yes I went back to founder space in a tech company and loving it. This is all towards Income stream No 3 and locking in No 1. It's not easy starting this journey without income stream No 1.
This is about assets and equity. I embraced the fact that I am an Asset! So I went to work to milk it. i wish i could list them here but you are going to have to wait and listen! I can share that the HTMAM brand is now under the Risepreneurs Family.
5Phase 5| Responsibility & Reflection
Maintaining a strong sense of gratitude for experiencing the past five years. Everyone and every opportunity I have come across is this journey- I can't wait to achieve my goal even if it is outside the allotted time because all I would have learned would be the most important thing to pass on. Look out for my Book!

BIABOOK
Elements of #HTMAM can be found in Biabook, a workbook written by Adesola Akindele from the sum of her experiences mentoring and 15 years as an entrepreneur. If you are considering starting a business and want to be an emotionally intelligent entrepreneur, you will need Biabook!
#HTMAM & Biabook
Adesola Akindele's passion for entrepreneurship began in 1998 when she realised she could create something and sell or offer a service and get paid. The first time this happened she styled hair for her mates at boarding school. 'I felt a rush. I was completing my A-levels in Kent College at the time a skill I learned by watching the stylists in a salon, my mum's side business, had become my first source of income and it did not stop there. Little did I know my journey to a life as a serial entrepreneur.
Adesola learned the limits of Passion and how to hold herself and mentees accountable. She learned that without accountability, you might as well be an arrow without a bow or target. She developed the knowledge that one must first build self in order to steer ones passion positively. That passion feeds ambition to fulfill your purpose and ambition with experienced guidance is pure and priceless magic! She came to see entrepreneurship as a vehicle for personal growth and awakening of self and skills she later developed and documented into Biabox, a mentoring programme. Now in Biabook, you get to share Adesola experiences as she helps you work through many lessons she learned along the way.
Over a 10 to 15 year period, one thing was constant, she mentored others. This was how she grew, how she learned and realized that her passion in life needed guidance beyond her BA in Economics and Business or any formal education she could find. 'I went on a journey to develop my emotional intelligence, understand myself, my self-limiting beliefs, discard bad habits, strive for balance, peace and inner strength. I had to find my center in order to align my passion, purpose and actions'.
Going on the #HTMAMJOURNEY can help you set a specific goal as an entrepreneur. Adesola found that you either have a defined goal when you decide or stumble into becoming an entrepreneur OR you don't- she was one of the latter. She also found that only a handful of those who succeed financially are able to maintain their status and help others. She also discovered that very few are lucky to achieve lifetime financial security from one source but the rest of us must build multiple sources of income to attain that same goal.
After years of getting it wrong, Adesola self-educated herself during her sabbatical in the USA and begun to make changes toward a personal goal for herself and family by going on a new journey, #HTMAM. What started as a personal experiment, evolved into a tool she realized could help wake others. She launched her first podcast that has gained 1700 listeners!
'How to become a millionaire is about serving others'- Adesola wants to develop social entrepreneurs who keep the needs of their community, target audience and socio-economic issues at the heart of their business. The world needs more empathetic business owners who are emotionally intelligent and can manage their finances so they do not ever fear that they will go without. This will hinder the need for desperate choices and greed in the marketplace in the future.
