Deyemi Okanlawon, an actor, explains why his coworkers should strive for the “highest earning”, instead of aiming for the “highest grossing” or “highest featured.”
He used his Twitter handle to share this with his followers, tweeting, “Not every time aim for HIGHEST GROSSING or HIGHEST FEATURED… more often reach for HIGHEST EARNING!”
Deyemi responded to a follower who reacted to the tweet by saying that there are many renowned individuals who are impoverished. He continued by saying that while fame is a result, hard ethic and planning are what lead to financial success.
He tweeted, “There are lots of famous broke ppl… fame is a byproduct, it’s the talent and the grind (work strategy and work ethic) that brings the bag”
