About

Hi. I'm Tomie Balogun.

Like a lot of millennials, I realized I did not have any tangible savings after working for four years in a boutique consulting firm in Lagos, Nigeria

I just got accepted to an MBA program and my 'no tangible wealth' reality  hit home.

Right after my MBA program in 2013,  I started an investment club with four friends and this has taken me on an investment journey filled with gain and loss lessons.

So far, we have invested in three (3) small businesses in the following industries ;Transportation, e-commerce and agribusiness, built a stock portfolio.

We started to get quite a number of requests to join our investment club and we were not so keen on accepting new members, That's when I decided to build a framework, based on my experience, to teach anyone interested in learning how to start an investment club.

My website is focused on sharing my hard learned lessons on how to spend less, earn more, make better investment decisions and build a network.

I also have resources available on how to start an investment club and my investment club toolkit (coming soon)
