Tolulope Sanni hopes to reveal some of his self-development secret weapons on this website which he says is his diary. Various topics and niches ranging from case study analysis, equity research reports, alternative investments to corporate finance and many more would be touched by him.
His disclosure strategy involves reading first a plethora of materials on the various topics, summarizing the contents and uploading the summary unto the website for the advantage of the website visitor. It is hoped that the visitor to the website would benefit immensely from this selfless and exciting exercise.
