The poorest people in the world are salary earners. They live in a vicious cycle of poverty. If you ask who highest class citizens are, you will hear people who create wealth with their ideas. People who are Entrepreneurs in making and people with wisdom to create and innovate their nothing to something.
Salary is continuously being awaited every month ending and any slight delay brings about heartbreaking anxiety and disappointment. Family become worried. Mind set to chaos and relatively angry. But when the salary finally arrived, we end up paying unexpected debts. The lack of financial management only set in the philosophy of salary earners.
Salary alone cannot solve your money problems. You need a secondary source of income to balance. Applying a sense of creativity, ideas and personal as well as investment management is the key to today modern world success.
Salary earners always look more worried and afraid of being poor. They are mostly the stingy ones and probably the complained colleagues. They see wealth only when they wait for it, but they know nothing about creating wealth. They discourse more about richest men and women but failed to figure out how they arrived to that destinations.
You will only be respected and consider rich among your folks only when you are earning that salary, after your retirement, you will be seen as an agents of disturbances. Those folks that surrounded you when you have and now you have not will be calling you hopeless man.
I therefore urge our youths who scavenge for white collar jobs for salary to be financially intelligent and delve into entrepreneurship because salary is a lifetime disappointment and visionless opportunity of wealth and happiness that will never come to fruition.
That’s my definition of Salary Visionaries youths who failed to use ideas and potentiality in life productiveness. I rather create wealth than waiting for wealth. I rather create jobs than waiting for jobs. If your boss pays you N30,000 per month, assuming you decide to save all without touching a dime, it will take you 36months to make N1million. (Did I hear you say 3years?)
Absolutely! On the other hand, if you can convince an organisation like Dangote Group to print and supply 5000 umbrellas to them (to be used as souvenirs) and you make just N200 profit per umbrella, in just one day you must have made N1million.
On the other hand, Nigeria has a population of about 170 million people, if you can supply salt to just 12 million, once in a month and you make just N200 from each person supplied, in one year, you must have made N2.9billion.
This shows that to become rich, you have to stop talking to bosses and start talking to clients. You have to stop thinking inside the box and even stop thinking outside the box…Yes… The box is still a limitation. You have no idea what your mind is capable of, do you? This is what you have to do. Set your mind free and think like there is no box. The possibilities are endless. Stay focused.
