    5 money habits you need to adopt today to build your wealth

    1. Live within your means

     

    It is no surprise to find many people trying to fit into their wealthy pals’ circle but end up living miserable lives in the name of ‘showing off’. Even some of the richest individuals in the world live modest lifestyles. Warren Buffett for example has lived in the same home since 1958 and drives a 2006 Cadillac. That’s pretty modest for a man worth over $70 billion.

     

    You’d be surprised to find that even some of those individuals enjoy luxurious lifestyles but have little saved up. It’s good to treat yourself once in a while but be modest while at it.

     

    2. Avoid debts at all costs

     

    Avoid taking debts at all if you want to build substantial wealth. Explore other options even if, say, disaster strikes unexpectedly. For example, try and borrow from friends or family if necessary you can even offer to pay them back with interest.

     

    3. Start a side hustle

     

    Always have a plan B aside, regardless of how secure you think you are at your current job. It doesn’t have to be a part-time job, rather a project that you can manage on the side of your full-time job.

     

    If you want to truly get ahead financially you need to have multiple sources of income. A side-hustle is a great place to start.

     

    4. Sell all the stuff you no longer need

     

    Those old electrical equipment or clothes in your closet could be a gold mine in waiting. Selling them could be another useful way of creating wealth. And there are plenty of online marketplaces for used goods that make it a breeze to sell your unused items.

     

    5.Choose the right life partner

     

    If you are always fighting with your significant other, what room do you have for career growth? Take the time to choose

    HOW TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS

    With less and less jobs, more and more people are joining the race to start their own businesses. The latest survey shows that since Corona hit our country, we have registered the highest number of company registrations and business name applications. Even the employed people are starting side hustles to complement their salaries. This article is for you.

    How can one start and grow a business successfully? Before we answer that question, we must ask ourselves this question, which is the most important department in a business set up? Is it accounting? Finance? Human resource? Insurance? Banking?Marketing? Or sales?

    The most important department is sales department. All the other departments depend on sales department. It is the department that produces revenue and income to the business. It is the one that ensures cash inflows exceeds cash outflows.

    Big organisations have hired sales people. On the other hand, for solopreneurs (the only owner of a business) they are the ones who do sales.

    In this article I will explain how you will grow your business.

    The sales cycle comprises of four steps:

    1. Suspecting.
    In sales language, a suspect is anyone who you think needs your goods or services. Might be your relative, friend or neighbour.

    2. Prospect.
    A prospect is a converted suspect. It is anyone who you think needs your goods or services and you’ve gotten in touch with them to ask if they might need it. The prospect might be;
    ~Buyer initiated – the buyer looks for the seller.
    ~Seller initiated – the seller looks for the buyer.
    ~Referral oriented – the buyer gets in touch with the seller after being told about the seller by a former buyer.
    Always ensure one job gives you atleast three more jobs, don’t be scared to ask for referrals.

    To learn prospecting, one must master the art of cold-calling. Cold calling is calling a stranger with the intention of asking them to buy your product. For cold calls, you need greeting, benefit and request.

    3. Sales presentation.
    This comes after you have cold called and requested for an appointment with the prospect. Sales presentation comes during the appointment. This is the time when the seller explains the values and benefits of the product. During the appointment, the seller must be careful about the smile, dressing and handshake. The seller should give the prospect insights and not just information.

    During the sales presentation, the prospect will give out objections including:
    ~No money.
    ~No need.
    ~No time.
    ~No urgency.
    ~No trust.

    Remember, people work with people they know, like and trust. So build rapport, build relationship, build trust.

    A BILLIONAIRE THINKING!!

    A BILLIONAIRE THINKING!!

    If your boss paid you 25,000 every month and you saved all that money without touching a coin, you would need to work for 3 years 3 months to get 1 million.

    But if you convinced a strong Political party to give you a printing job for only 10,000 t-shirts and you made 100 bob from each that would be 5000×200=1,000,000. In only 1 day.

    It becomes crazy if you want to become a Billionaire. Say your boss pays you 500,000 per month and you saved all that money without
    touching a single coin, in a year you would only have 6 million and you would need to work for 168 years to get 1 billion (How old are you??).
    However, there are 43 million people in Kenya if you supplied salt or sugar to 24 million of them once per month making 5 Bob per packet, it would only take you 1 year to be a billionaire. Check out this.

    The way to be rich is to stop Dealing with Bosses and start dealing with customers. On my side I see 8,000,000 Kenyan with smart phones. If I train only 0.005% and I teach them how to work smart on smart phone. That is an extra 200,000 per month.

    So that it how you make it. Be a boss today via online business. Ask me How?

    ❗A must-read for anyone who wants to stop procrastinating‼️

    1. Set the table: be clear about your goals and think on paper. A goal that is not in writing is merely a wish or fantasy. Think about your goals and review them daily. Do something every day that moves you towards your goals.

    2. Plan every day in advance: it takes only about 10-15 minutes to plan your day, but this small investment of time will save you up to 2 hours in wasted time and diffused effort throughout the day.
    The six-P formula: proper planning prevents poor performance.

    3. Apply the 80/20 rule: people procrastinate on the 20% most important tasks and concentrate on the 80% that contribute very little results.
    Resist the temptation to clear up small things first.

    4. Consider the consequences: Ask yourself the potential consequences of not doing the task before starting. Long-term thinking improves short-term decision-making.

    5. Practice creative procrastination: Deliberately procrastinate on small tasks because you can’t do everything you want to do and you have to procrastinate on small tasks that don’t have much contribution to your life.

    6. Use the ABCDE method continually ‘A’ for very important important task. Which should be your priority before any other.

    7. Focus on key result areas: a key result area is an activity under your control. Whatever you do, you must have certain essential skills to do your job well.

    8. If you want to increase your reward, increase the total value of what you do.

    9. Prepare thoroughly before you start any task. Get the necessary tools and create a comfortable workspace.

    10. To eat a big frog, take it one step at a time.

    11. Upgrade your skill sets: If you are a quack, you will likely procrastinate. Learn what you need to learn so you can do your job in an excellent way.

    12. Identify your key constraint: what is holding you back from eating the frog that can really make a difference in your life?

    13. Put the pressure on yourself by creating imaginary deadlines.

    14. Motivate yourself into action. Don’t always wait for motivation; you won’t always get it. Be your own personal cheerleader. Coach yourself and encourage yourself. Be optimistic!

    15. Technology is a terrible master: Technology can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Keep your relationship with technology under control.

    16. Technology is a wonderful servant. You must discipline yourself to treat technology as a servant, not a master.

    17. Focus your attention: Don’t allow social media or anything else to distract you; be focused to achieve more.

    18. Set time for your goals and develop a sense of urgency.

    19. Discipline yourself to focus on one task. Get it done before moving on to the next.

    LIFE IS A MATTER OF CHOICES

    some will choose to read this to the end,other will not.That’s how it is.

    Having two dads offered me the choice of contrasting points of view: one of a rich man and one of a poor man.

    As a young boy, having two strong fathers both influencing me was difficult. I wanted to be a good son and listen, but the two fathers did not say the same things. The contrast in their points of view, particularly about money, was so extreme that I grew curious and intrigued. I began to start thinking for long periods of time about what each was saying.

    One of the reasons the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class struggles in debt is that the subject of money is taught at home, not in school. Most of us learn about money from our parents. So what can poor parents tell their child about money? They simply say, “Stay in school and study hard.” The child may graduate with excellent grades, but with a poor person’s financial programming and mindset.

    Sadly, money is not taught in schools. Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills, but not on financial skills. This explains how smart bankers, doctors, and accountants who earned excellent grades may struggle financially all of their lives. Our staggering national debt is due in large part to highly educated politicians and government officials making financial decisions with little or no training in the subject of money.

    Instead of simply accepting or rejecting one or the other, I found myself thinking more, comparing, and then choosing for myself. The problem was that the rich man was not rich yet, and the poor man was not yet poor. Both were just starting out on their careers, and both were struggling with money and families. But they had very different points of view about money.

    Choosing not to listen to my highly educated dad’s advice and attitude about money was a painful decision, but it was a decision that shaped the rest of my life. Once I made up my mind about whom to listen to, my education about money began. My rich dad taught me over a period of 30 years until I was 39 years old. He stopped once he realized that I knew and fully understood what he had been trying to drum into my often-thick skull.

    Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money.

    Because I was only nine years old when I started, the lessons my rich dad taught me were simple. And when it was all said and done, there were only six main lessons, repeated over 30 years. This book is about those six lessons, put as simply as possible, just as simply as my rich dad put forth those lessons to me. The lessons are meant not to be answers, but guideposts that will assist you and your children to grow wealthier no matter what happens in a world of increasing change and uncertainty.

    SEVEN SECRETS TO A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR

    There are seven essential principles that you must practice as an entrepreneur throughout your business life if you are to achieve maximum success. They have been taught and repeated in thousands of books and articles over the years, and here they are.

    1.CLARITY: You must be absolutely clear on who you are and what you want. You need written goals and plans for every part of your life. As Zig Ziglar would say, you must become a “meaningful specific” rather than a “wandering generality.”

    Begin with your values. What do you believe in and stand for? What is most important to you in life? What would you pay for, fight for, suffer for and die for? What do you really care about? Someone once wrote, “Until you know exactly what you would do if you only had one hour left to live, you are not prepared to live.”

    What is your vision for yourself and your future? What is your vision for your family and your finances? What is your vision for your career and your company? Peter Drucker once wrote, “Even if you are starting your business on a kitchen table, you must have a vision of becoming a world leader in your field, or you will probably never be successful.”

    What is your mission for your business? What is it that you want to accomplish for your customers? What is it that you want to do to improve the lives and work of the people you intend to serve with your products and services? You need a clear vision and an inspiring mission to motivate yourself and others to do the hard work necessary to achieve business success.

    What is your purpose for your life and your business? Why do you get up in the morning? What is your reason for being? And here’s a great question: What do you really want to do with your life?

    Finally, what are your goals? What do you want to accomplish in your financial life? What are your family goals? What are your health goals? What difference do you want to make in the lives of others? And here is the best question: What would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?

    The greater clarity you have regarding each of these issues–values, vision, mission, purpose and goals–the greater the probability that you will accomplish something wonderful with your life.

    2. COMPETENCE: To be truly successful and happy, you must be very good at what you do. You must resolve to join the top 10 percent in your field. You must make excellent performance of the business task your primary goal and then dedicate all your energies to doing quality work and offering quality products and services.

    To be successful in business, according to Jim Collins, author of Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap . . . and Others Don’t, you must find a field that satisfies three requirements. First, it must be something for which you have a passion-something you really believe in and love to do. Second, it must be an area where you have the potential to be the best, to be better than 90 percent of the people in that field. Third, it must involve a product or service that can be profitable and enable you to achieve all your financial goals.

    According to the Harvard Business School, the most valuable asset a company can develop is its reputation. Your reputation is defined as “how you are known to your customers.” And the most important reputation you can have revolves around the quality of the products and services you offer and the quality of the people who deliver those services and interact with those customers.

    3.CONSTRAINTS: Between you and your goal, whatever it is, there will always be a constraint or limiting factor. Your ability to identify the most important factor that determines the speed at which you achieve your business goals is essential to your success.

    The 80/20 rule applies to constraints in your business. Fully 80 percent of the reasons that you are not achieving your goals as quickly as you want will be within yourself. Only 20 percent will be contained in external circumstances or people.

    What are your constraints? What holds you back? What sets the speed at which you achieve your goals? And what one thing could you do immedi-ately to begin alleviating your main constraint? This is often the key to rapid progress.

    4.CREATIVITY: The essence of successful business is innovation. This is the ability to find faster, better, cheaper, easier ways to produce and deliver your products and services.

    Fortunately, almost everyone is a “potential genius.” You have more intelligence and ability than you could ever use. Your job is to unleash this creativity and focus it, like a laser beam, on removing obstacles, solving problems and achieving your goals.

    The essence of creativity is contained in your ability to solve the inevitable problems and difficulties of business life. Colin Powell said, “Leader-ship is the ability to solve problems.” Success is the ability to solve problems. And remember: A goal unachieved is merely a problem unsolved.

    The way of the successful entrepreneur is to focus on the solution rather than the problem. Focus on what is to be done rather than what has happened or who is to blame. Concentrate all your attention on finding a solution to any obstacle that is holding you back from the sales and profitability you desire. And the more you think about solutions, the more solutions you will think of. You will actually feel yourself getting smarter by focusing all your energies on what you can do to continually improve your situation.

    5.CONCENTRATION: Your ability to concentrate single-mindedly on the most important thing and stay at it until it is complete is an essential prerequisite for success. No success is possible without the ability to practice sustained concentration on a single goal or task, in a single direction.

    The simplest way to learn to concentrate is to make a list for each day before you begin. Then prioritize the list by putting the numbers 1 through 10 next to each item. Once you have determined your most important task, immediately begin to work on that task. Discipline yourself to continue working until that top task is 100 percent complete. When you make a habit of doing this–starting and completing your most important tasks each day–you will double or triple your productivity and put yourself solidly on the way to wealth.

    6.COURAGE: Winston Churchill once wrote, “Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues, for upon it, all others depend.” It takes tremendous courage to take the entrepreneurial risks necessary to become wealthy. In study after study, experts have concluded it is the courage to take the “first step” that makes all the difference. This is the courage to launch in the direction of your goals, with no guarantee of success. Most people lack this.

    Once you have begun your entrepreneurial journey, you also need the courage to persist. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “All great successes are the triumph of persistence.”

    The word entrepreneur means “one who undertakes the risks of a new ven-ture in pursuit of profit.” Fully 90 percent of the population will never have sufficient courage to launch a new venture, to start a new business, to boldly go where no one has gone before. You need, first of all, the courage to begin, to move out of your comfort zone in the direction of your goals and dreams, even though you know you will experience many problems, difficulties and temporary failures along the way.

    Second, you need the courage to endure, to hang in there, to persist in the face of all adversity until you finally win. When you develop these twin qualities–the ability to step out in faith and then to persist resolutely in the face of all difficulties–your success is guaranteed.

    7.CONTINUOUS ACTION: Perhaps the most outwardly identifiable quality of a successful person is that he or she is in continuous motion. The entrepreneur is always trying new things and, if they don’t work, trying something else. It turns out that most entrepreneurs achieve their success in an area completely different from what they had initially expected. But because they continually reacted and responded constructively to change, trying new methods, abandoning activities that didn’t work, picking themselves up after every defeat and trying once more, they eventually won out.

    Top people, especially entrepreneurs, seem to have these three qualities. First, they learn more things. Second, they try more things. Third, they persist longer than anyone else. The good news is that, because of the law of probabilities, if you learn more things, try more things and persist longer, you dramatically increase the probability that you will succeed greatly. If you launch toward your goal and resolve in advance to never give up, your success is virtually guaranteed.

    2 THINGS YOU WILL FIND ON THE LIPS OF ALL SUCCESSFUL PEOPL

    Successful people have two things on their lips, “smile and silence”. Smile can solve a problem, Silence can avoid problems. Sugar and salt may be mixed together but ants reject the salt and carry away only the sugar. Select the right people in life and make your life better and sweeter. If you fail to achieve your dreams, change your ways not your God.

    Remember, trees change their leaves and not their roots. You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks. Haters will see you walking on water and say its because you can’t swim.
    Even if you dance on water, your enemies will accuse you of raising dust. Make it your ambition to live a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your own hands. Remember, don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.

    — Be Inspired and have a great day . Be kind and share.

    If you don’t change your thinking after this message then you are dead

    A wise man once said that the future only belongs to those who have the ability to foresee it and sacrifice the pleasures of the present in order to gain it.

    As I read through a financial report that Apple (Company) has entered the trillion dollars realm, I was curious to know more about the company. In my search, I stumbled into a pathetic story concerning one of the co-founders of Apple by name, Ronald Wayne. This man co-founded Apple Computers (now Apple Inc.) with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. He drew the first Apple logo, drafted the first original agreement between the founders and wrote the first manual for their first computer. He held a 10% share in the company but soon decided to relinquish it for $800 and was given additional $1500 to forfeit all right of ownership two weeks after the company was officially registered in 1976. His reason for that decision was that the company was financially demanding. Today, if Ronald Wayne had kept his 10% share, he would have been worth over a 100 billion dollars. That would have made him the richest or second richest man on earth. But the total value of what Ronald Wayne collected in 1976 stands at $ 9,498 in 2017. Today Ronald Wayne is worth $ 300,000 less than the million dollar mark, yet the agreement he drafted was sold for over a million dollars after he left. The first Apple product he ever owned was iPad 2 given to him in 2011.
    Ronald Wayne said it was demanding on him financially. If only he saw today, his decision of 1976 would have been so different.
    Everything of lasting value is highly demanding. Greatness is not a product of convenience. The greatness of tomorrow begins with the sacrifice of today.
    If you need to live in a one room apartment today to own an estate tomorrow do!
    If you need to ride a tricycle today in order to distribute a Rolls Royce tomorrow Pls do!
    If you need to patronize fairly used clothes today to own a boutique tomorrow Pls do!
    The pain of knowing you had the opportunity at a point in life to change the course of your life is the greatest pain of regret to live with.
    Today Ronald Wayne in his right will be said to be financially OK at $300,000 but hearing the news that the company he cofounded is the first company to hit the trillion dollars mark will send many thoughts to his mind. And the children? Had our father……. Only God can describe what will be going on in their minds.

    *My counsel:*
    Where you see a future don’t fail to invest,
    Where you see a future don’t fail to sacrifice,
    Where you see a future don’t fail to endure.
    Where you see a future don’t fail to Persist,
    Where you see a future don’t fail to believe.

    The future truly belongs to those who can foresee it and give all it takes to get there. If you don’t remember anything I have said so far, don’t ever forget that ” Greatness in life is not a product of convenience.” It takes sacrifice.

    *WE ARE OUR DECISIONS*
