Renowned Nigerian entrepreneur and economist, Grace Ofure Ibhakhomu, has prescribed the “9 to 5 is not a scam Compendium” for business owners and leaders at various organisations aiming to boost productivity  and improve employees’ capacity for efficiency in the work environment.

The “9 to 5 is not a scam Compendium”, conceived by Grace Ofure, envisioned to create “empowerment for excellence”, is a transformative and all-encompassing training program crafted to enhance business operations and management. This program integrates advanced insights on mindset re-engineering, financial literacy, marketing strategies, mental health re-orientation, and organizational growth to drive both personal and professional success.

It also addresses other essential subjects such as “leadership mastery”, “organizational growth mindset”, “mental health and well-being focus”, “Return on Investment” (ROI), etc.

“The inspiration ( 9 to 5 is not a scam Compendium) came from seeing so many talented individuals feeling stuck in their jobs, believing that success only comes from entrepreneurship or working tirelessly without purpose. I wanted to create a program that redefines the 9-to-5 experience, showing people how to excel, grow, and find fulfillment in any role by transforming their mindset, finances, and leadership skills. The 9 to 5 Compendium is a blueprint for thriving, not just surviving,” Grace Ofure explained what inspired the compendium.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Lifecard International Investment Limited is a highly resourceful personality in the Nigerian business circle. The real estate expert has organised several training programmes to help entrepreneurs and business owners with capacity to thrive in the ever-challenging and dynamic terrain in Nigeria and across the world.

However, she explained why the 9 to 5 is not a scam Compendium is different from the regular trainings.

“Most training programs focus solely on skills or productivity. The 9 to 5 is not a scam Compendium goes deeper. We focus on five key pillars: Leadership, Mindset Re-engineering, Financial Intelligence, Organizational Growth, and Marketing Mindset. What sets us apart is our holistic approach—we help people rewire their thinking, build resilience, and achieve financial stability while equipping them with practical skills to lead and innovate within their roles,” Grace Ofure stated.

According to Grace Ofure, among other transformations the 9 to 5 is not a scam Compendium will trigger, is mindset change and most importantly, the subject of financial stress.

“Mindset is everything. Many people are limited not by their jobs but by how they perceive them. Mindset re-engineering helps employees see their roles as opportunities for growth, not constraints. It teaches resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving—skills critical in today’s fast-changing work environment. When people shift their mindset, they become proactive, take ownership of their work, and ultimately, find joy and purpose in what they do,” she stated.

“Financial stress can cripple productivity and well-being. We teach financial intelligence, from budgeting and saving to building multiple income streams. When employees understand how to manage their finances, they’re less stressed and more focused. This doesn’t just benefit them personally; it creates a more productive, engaged, and loyal workforce. Financial literacy is empowerment, and we want every participant to experience that freedom.”

Grace Ofure, the Proprietor and Founder of Lifecard University, touted the sweeping impact of the solution at organisations where it has been wholesomely  implemented.

“The results have been phenomenal. Take Chevron Cooperative, for example. After implementing the program, they saw a significant boost in productivity and team morale. Employees became more confident, collaborative, and innovative. Many reported feeling more empowered to lead, even in non-leadership roles. It’s incredible what happens when people are equipped with the right mindset and tools,” she highlighted.

“Getting started is simple. Companies or individuals can contact us via email at [email protected] or visit our website, www.lifecarduniversity.com. Whether it’s for a small team or a large organization, we customize the experience to meet specific needs. This isn’t just a training—it’s a transformational journey that will elevate both personal and professional success.”

She added: “Remember, your job is not a prison—it’s a platform. The key to success is not working harder but working smarter with the right mindset. Embrace growth, take control of your finances, and lead with purpose. The 9 to 5 is not a scam Compendium is your guide to unlocking your true potential. Don’t just work—thrive with excellence.”
