The Power of Vision and Alignment: What I Learned from the Co-Founders of 2CENT
<p>When I first joined 2CENT, a lot of people welcomed me warmly including Tobi and Cyrus. At that time, I didn’t even know they were the co-founders. </p><p><br/></p><p>I was simply exploring the platform, scrolling through the feed, and quietly thinking to myself, “Who are the brains behind this? How did someone sit down and create something this organized, this intentional, this impactful?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Days later, I stumbled on a post from Cyrus. Out of curiosity, I clicked on his bio, then on one of his audio insights. The title was about how he and Tobi started 2CENT. Honestly, I only listened because I was too tired to read but that audio stopped me in my tracks.</p><p><br/></p><p>The way he spoke… I was dumbfounded. Articulate, clear, intentional. He spoke like someone who understood his purpose.</p><p><br/></p><p> That pushed me to check his educational background and experiences, and again I was amazed. This wasn’t just passion... this was preparation, knowledge, vision, and direction.</p><p><br/></p><p>I went to look for who this Tobi could be... Imagine, he was also a participant.. like an active one on their platform, I looked for audio insights too, scrolled briefly through his other insights... I went to check his educational background and experiences, nothing short of amazing.</p><p><br/></p><p>Hmmm.... "Omo" that was the only thing I could say....</p><p><br/></p><p>What struck me even more was how he and Toby met. Two individuals with similar but not identical visions .... yet aligned enough to build something greater together. They merged their energy, their ideas, their strengths… and today, the result is a platform many of us now benefit from.</p><p><br/></p><p>These two people don't know what they've done, but they've inspired me deeply... I know they must have done same to most people too..</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>See, as we enter this new week, here’s what I want you to hold on to:</p><p><br/></p><p>1. Have a vision.</p><p>If nothing changes inside you, 2026 will look exactly like 2025. Know where you’re going.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>2. Be attentive.</p><p>Pay attention to people.... what they carry, how they think, the value they add.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>3. Connect intentionally.</p><p>When you relate with people, you’ll discover those whose vision aligns with yours. And when aligned people work together, the vision becomes wider, stronger, and more powerful.</p><p><br/></p><p>Lastly, please eh in everything you do... Don't ever do less, push to carry yourself well and presentable... You attract the kind of energy you carry... That's if it makes sense...</p><p><br/></p><p>Even if this person has a better energy because you're not close or equal... It can't work..</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>This case is dismissed!</p><p><br/></p><p>Cooooooouuuuuurrrrrrttttttttt!!</p><p><br/></p><p>🤭</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
