If you have read and understood
“The best way to see money” and you have chosen that way, the next thing on your mind should be
“The best way to make money.”
If you want to make money, you need to ask yourself some questions.
“What is the population of the city or town where I reside?”
“How much does the average person spend on food?” Then multiply the two. Can you see how much money is spent on food on an average day in your city?
Take Lagos for example. Let us assume we have a population of 10
million people and the average person spends 150 naira on food in a day.
That will come to 1.5 billion naira spent on food every day. Imagine!
When people say there is no money in town, they may not be stating
the truth. The truth is that there is money, but they have not been able
to see it. Because you do not see money with your eyes, you see it with
your mind.
Let us take our illustration a little further. The supposed 10
million people in Lagos need houses to live in. Those houses are built
with cement, gravel, sand, iron rods and roofing sheets. These things
cost money to buy. But it is those who are selling them that make the
money.
Each of the 10 million people puts on at least two pieces of cloth
per day. They wear 10 million pairs of shoes. They brush their teeth
everyday with toothbrushes and toothpaste. Most of them use soap for
their bath and wash their clothes. May be 70% of them move from one part
of the city to the other every day. They sleep on beds which have
mattresses, which need bed sheets and pillow cases. The children within
the population need to go to school.
Can you see how to make money now?
What you have to do is to solve a particular kind of problem for a
fraction of the people in your city; money will flow in your direction.
By the way, we describe the money spent in a country as its currency.
Currency describes a current or something that flows. Actually, money
flows. Each time you spend money, someone makes money. Why not be the
one making the money? It is now your turn to prosper. Write down your
own goals and pray for God to show you the unique problems you are to
solve for people in your city and in this country.
IT IS YOUR TIME!
You will experience a turn-around in your life. What do you like to
do? Is it fashion designing, catering, computer programming or teaching?
Get the best training you can get. Develop expertise. Then, begin to
offer your products or services. It may not work out the way you
expected the first time, but with persistence, determination and the
willingness to learn along the way, you will achieve your goals.
Have you observed that rich people do not have two heads? They are
people like you whose minds have been trained to see wealth. From today,
your mind will not be a liability, it will be an asset. As you take
practical steps to sell something or to help somebody, God will help
you.
MISTAKES
Another thing you should be mindful of is the fact that you will make
mistakes. But do not be afraid, all you need to do is ask God for
wisdom and learn from your mistakes. I have made some costly mistakes
myself, which I NEVER want you or anyone else to make. It is my desire
that you learn the lessons I learnt from them. I have packaged it in a
free ebook titled “What I would do differently, 7 costly mistakes to
avoid in your journey of life.” You can download it on this page. Just
