The Startup Book That Finally Tells the Truth.
Startup Secrets flips everything you thought you knew about building a startup
If You’re Tired of Empty Startup Advice, This Is the One Book That Finally Makes Sense.
Let me tell you a quick story about the time I went completely bankrupt while trying to build my first startup in Lagos.
At the time, I was running a small printing startup and trying to scale it fast. Between managing deliveries, chasing clients, and juggling a few side services, I was completely stretched thin.
The pressure was real — every day felt like I was sinking deeper. I was frustrated, exhausted, and honestly, a little disgusted with how things were going.
Then the bottom fell out from under me.
Out of the blue, my partner told me we had to shut down the company and sell everything.
And That's When It Hit Me...
Just like that, everything I’d built was gone — and with a new family depending on me, I felt crushed.
But even in that dark moment, I couldn’t shake my dream — the dream of solving real problems for people and building something meaningful (and profitable) from scratch.
Then came a turning point.
I got to know about Startup Weekend. I registered to participate and that experience changed everything.
I finally learned how to:
• Validate an idea before wasting time or money
• Build a simple MVP to test if people actually cared
• Assemble a team that shared my vision
That single experience helped me rebuild my confidence — and my next startup grew naturally, without the chaos, confusion, or constant burnout.
Today, I’m living my dream — solving problems for people, building real value, and never worrying about going bankrupt again.
And that’s exactly why I wrote Startup Secrets — to share the same clarity, frameworks, and hard-earned lessons that helped me rebuild from nothing… so you can skip the painful mistakes and start building smarter too.

So If You’re Struggling to Turn Your Startup Idea Into a Real Business…
This Book Is For You!
You’ve had the idea, and you know it could solve a real problem and make money. But somewhere between dreaming and doing, nothing clicks. You launch, face slow traction or confusing feedback, and no advice seems to help.
I’ve been there — the sleepless nights, the gut-wrenching uncertainty. And then it hit me: the difference between struggling founders and those who thrive was knowing exactly what to do, in the right order, and understanding why it works.
That realization became the foundation for Startup Secrets, showing how to build startups that grow predictably — without wasting years learning the hard way.
