When I started, Far from Home, I thought Ishaya Bello was right about doing whatever it took to fulfill his dreams. I can be like that sometimes, always jumping in hard, and then finding out that I am left completely exhausted in the end with no results in sight.
Although he had his dream to stand side by side with his favorite artist and role model and he did his best by crafting his skill with his pencils and applying to be Essien apprentice in London. When he encountered financial obstacles and he couldn't go on to meet him, Bello had to do anything and every to see that he succeeded.

The choices he made placed his life, that of his close friends, and his family at risk. And he wasn't seeing the mess he was causing because he was blinded by the determination to see his dream come true. He was almost like his father who was an artist but lost their younger brother in a bit to deliver a portrait and he got crippled. As a result of this incident, Bello's mum banned arts in the family.
What she did not know was that art was always going to be in their blood and Ishaya Bello followed in his father's footsteps. Taking up arts, falling head over heels for it, and placing everyone's life in jeopardy.
I did admire the fact that Ishaya Bello took up every opportunity that came his way as long as there was a chance to make a bit of cash to put towards paying bills and for his family too.
But he failed to apply the bullet, bullet, then cannonball approach to fulfilling his dream. He wanted to move straight to the cannonballs without first firing any bullet and see what will work and what won't.
He must have filtered through a series of circumstances but he paid dearly for them as a result of trying to be in a hurry.
It's almost the same thing with money, when you do not slow down, you will be caught making blunders because you are in so much of a hurry to get it. Everything takes time, including, wealth building, so it's pertinent for you to know this, and work with a slow and steady approach to becoming financially independent.
