I often hear people say, 'Why am I poor? Why are Africans poor, even though they live in the midst of abundance? A couple of years ago, I ran a Money Workshop program at the start of the recession and I was amazed at how educated people dealt with money/investments. Many people do not have a clue about how money is made and multiplied... I thought about all these things carefully and this is what I say:
1. Improve yourself with education/training/apprenticeship/practise
2. Everyday learn something new especially as you get older
3. Have a big dream, a purpose, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESSES or find a meaningful career you love and work hard
4. Stay focused
5. Move in the right circles, be friendly but firm and network non-stop
6. Be encouraged - get over disappointments quickly and move on
7. Be persistent - never, ever give up on your dreams
8. Aim high, set goals, be determined, be bold
9. Up grade your communication skills - take writing/public speaking lessons
10. Help as many people as possible - the more people you help the better - solve their problems
11. LOVE others, support them and have FUN
12. Be patient - it takes time for good things to blossom
13. Share your knowledge - don't be selfish and keep everything to yourself
14. Look the part - presentation matters - look your best at all times
15. Be better than the last time - correct mistakes
16. Invest and re-invest - Always save a fifth of your income for investments
16. Be excellent at whatever you do, BE THE BEST and your economic status will gradually change."

Thanks #Ibukunoluwa Abiodun. It is true that there are so many of us who are taking most of these steps but are still struggling to make ends meet. As I said, patience is important, learning the right things and putting them into practice, plus, mixing with the right people is very important. If for example, you hang out with people who are struggling financially, then, it would be more of a struggle to make money because they would not have much to teach you. So, it is better to get introductions to meet or connect with people who are more successful than you are. The internet has made things very easy but people overlook the power of the internet and spend time 'playing' on the internet instead of making new connections. I believe if you do all these, plus, be innovative and creative you will eventually come through. I wish you all the best.
