TIPS TO GETTING RICH.

From Scratch To Whatever Your Goal Is

2012-01-14T07:17:00.000-08:00

I think this life is beautiful, and i think it can only be problematic and uninteresting to the people that do not understand the fact that they hold their destiny in their hands. You can be whatever you want to be...You can have whatever you want to have. Of cos it can take time, and it might appear to you that things are not going right, but if you can stay focused on your goal, no matter how far-fetched it might seem, you would definitely achieve what ever it is you want.

I am not going to limit this post to just money, cos other things like good health and peace of mind also contribute to a real wealthy lifestyle. At the beginning of the year, i fell ill, and that was the time i was making the most money. I am better now, but at that time, i was ready to give up every money i had just to have my health back. Think about it- how much can you enjoy your money if you are sick?

If you want a sound health, there is one thing you have to know which also works for every other area of your life. You have to know that everything you get in your outer world is gotten in your inner world before you get it in your outer world. Whatever you hold onto in your mind becomes your reality. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. You become what you think about. This is how it works- from the spiritual to the intellectual to the physical. What that means is that what ever thought you hold in your mind for a long time is transmitted to the divine (the spiritual), which then intelligently shows you or guides you along the way to getting that thing you want, and then that thing you want materializes in the physical. What that means is that, for example, if you want good health, act and see yourself as already with good health, and that is just what you will get. You might be lead to the right doctor (not necessarily the recommended best), or the right country, or a miracle might just happen.

You can use this on every other aspects of your life- relationship, finances, family...e.t.c. The problem people have is that they usually go the other way round. They look at what they see on the outside (which in most cases is not what they want), and form an image of it, and translate it to the divine, and they are surprised when they get more of that thing they don't like. Starting from today, stop giving your attention to that which you do not want, and instead give it to what you want. What you should do is think of what you want like it is already present in your life. You are not limited in your imagination, it is only you that can limit yourself. So, if you are not limited in your imagination, it means you are not limited in the real world, because really, the outside world is just a reflection of the inner world. From their fruits you shall know them. As within, so without.

Another tip that you have to know is that it is not only about picturing what you want, you have to feel good and put yourself in the right vibration of that thing you want, or you might just get the lack of that thing. That is why it is important to not think of how you are going to achieve that goal. That is not your work, that is God's work. A lot of people don't listen to this advise, and they go on and keep looking for a means, and since the conscious mind is limited, you would keep getting limited ideas, which would lead to frustration, which would then lead to you giving up negative vibes, which would in the end lead to you getting the opposite of what you want. You then conclude that the principle you learnt is not working, when in truth you are the one using it wrongly.

And you also have to be definite of what you want, and be very specific with your thoughts and visualization. Early last year when i was experimenting with this principle, i started visualizing a LR3 everyday. It was my favorite of cars, and i wished to have it. Barely 2 weeks later, my long lost friend knocked on my gate, and what did i see behind him? The LR3. Ofcos he didn't buy it for me, but his brother had just got it, and they came to see me. It was exactly the same color (black) i visualized about everyday. But, the problem i had was that i was just visualizing the car, i wasn't putting myself in the picture...i wasn't seeing myself as the owner of the car. The car found a way to come into my life, but not as mine. This is why i say you have to be specific with what you want.

Anyone Can Get Rich

2012-01-08T08:30:00.000-08:00

The problem a lot of people have is understanding that anyone can get rich. There is no rule that states that you have to be from this certain family, or environment, or age bracket, or creed or color. When people get the negative belief that they can't control what comes into their life out of their head, then ways and opportunities would start showing up in their life. But, i think the first thing anyone that wants to get rich needs to do is to change his belief from limiting one, to an abundant one, regardless of where he or she might find them self right now.

Rich people are not different from you...it is only in their way of thinking, and that can be learned. Your thoughts create your reality. That is the secret to life. So, if you think you have to work for 50 years before you can become rich, that is how your reality would be. But, if your wish is to be rich in your young age, then you have to change the way you view money. Or if you are already old, and you have lived with a limiting belief all your life, it is not too late. You an change it and start on a new path. And i guarantee that within a short time, you would be making quantum leaps on the road to success.

If i am to sum up how anyone can get rich, i would say that since you become what you think about, which is in line with the law of attraction, then what you need to do is to see yourself as already rich. Do this long enough till you convince yourself, and miracles would happen in your life. You might get a new job, or be led to a new line of business. Anything can happen when the Universe wants to align you with you most prominent thought. Your job is to see yourself how rich you want to be and then keep your vibration high always...don't worry about how you are going to become rich, just believe it will be shown to you and remove every resistance. Stay in an abundant vibration, and abundance would vibrate your way. It is that simple...people just like complex answers. Just do your part, and step aside and let the universe work wonders.

I have read countless biographies of some of the richest people in the world, and majority of them didn't start out rich. One quality most of them had was a burning desire to become rich. And that's what you need. Once you crave for success like you do for air, you would get it.

How To Use Visualization to Create A Great Future

2011-10-16T01:36:00.000-07:00

The first thing you have to understand is that in life, in this world, is that you are a co-creator of your life. What that means is that, God has given you the free-will to create any type of life you want, and you are responsible for all your actions. So, whatever place you are right now- whether good or bad, you created it. And how, you may ask, do we create our life? The answer is in the Bible, Proverbs 23:7- "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". To rephrase that; "you become what you think about". Whatever thought you hold in your mind for a period of time, inspires you to action, and creates a life based on those thoughts. It is a simple as that.

Please, read the above paragraph again, and let it sink in before you go on reading. You need to understand and accept it if you want to change your life for the better...if you want to create a better future. I am sure you are saying- "it can't be that simple." It is, and I guess that is why it is so hard to accept. People like to blame a family member; a past life; a drunkard father; their high school teacher; the devil; they blame everybody but themselves. If you can get the belief that you create your life sunken into your mind, you would open the gates to endless possibilities in your life.

The next stop is how you are going to use visualization in creating a better future. Visualization has to do with using your imagination (which everybody has) to create a mental movie of the kind of life you want in the near future. Note that the future here can stand for tomorrow morning. I once used visualization to create the kind of girl I wanted in my life, and the next day after I practiced the procedure, I actually met the girl in person. The funny part was that I was so dumbfounded that I had the power to create my own future that I couldn't engage in a conversation with her. But because my visualization was so strong the night before, the girl came into my life again the next day, and this time, she didn't wait for me to make the first move. It was like magic!

So, the procedure of visualization has to do with holding a thought of what you want in your life; whether in your finances, in your relationship or the kind of job you want. Just itemize everything you want starting from this moment (there is power in writing down goals), and from here own, start picking, one by one, the experiences you want to see in your life. Hold the thoughts of that which you want, and start playing with the images. Be creative, and make a mental movie of yourself already in possession of that thing, or living that life, and play it in your head over and over again, till it feels real, and it materializes in your life.

A Little Secret

I would like to share a little secret with you that would further enhance your belief that you can actually create your future. An experiment was performed where a man's brain was hooked up to "brain activity reading" device, and he was asked to look at an object. When he looked at the object, a part of his brain was fired up on the device monitor. The object was then removed from view, and he was asked to just visualize the bottle in his head; the same portion of the brain that lit up when he was physically looking at the object lit up again. Your brain does not know the difference between what you see and what you imagine.

Achieving Prosperity

2011-08-16T00:32:00.000-07:00

To achieve prosperity, you have to start from the inside, and let the inside affect the outside. This is where a lot of people miss it, and they end up getting caught up in the rat race. They have been taught to believe that you have to be doing the most tedious work to become prosperous; instead of learning to work smart and getting prosperous.

I resigned from my job last year, and a lot of people at the job thought I was crazy; they were wondering how I could live a ready made job for the unknown. But I knew why; I knew I deserved more than that, and I also knew I could not be as rich as I want to if I was working for someone. A year later, no job still, just building my business and those people with steady salary are still as broke as ever, living in debt, while I am planning travel trips around the world and buying fancy toys. I launched a book recently, and they could not even afford to buy it when I took it there, and the book cost just about 3 dollars; what a shame.

What I am trying to say is that it is not how hard you work, it is how smart. And without a prosperity consciousness, you can not be rich. That is why those people are stock in that 9-5, and the employers would keep getting rich while they stay living from per check to per check.

What you need to do to achieve prosperity is to know and believe you can actually get prosperous, and then start focusing on the kind of life you would want to live in the nearest future. Focus on the type of car, house, and business you would like to own. Don't for one second doubt that you can get this kind of life, and I assure you, ways would start opening up for you.

There is nothing like a free lunch, so you have to give something in return. It could be your area of specialization, or your talent, but know that you have to give something in return for that life you desire. And you also have to be a giver. In case you do not know, the richest people are sometimes the best givers. They know the law of prosperity, and they know they always have to give back to keep the money flowing back to them. It is like a circle, and it would continue that way.

The Law of Attraction; Learn The Fastest Way to Materialize Whatever You Want

2011-05-28T09:04:00.000-07:00

A lot of people know about the law of attraction and how it works, but more people are looking for how to speed up the materialization process. We are in a time where people want everything served to them fast; they want fast food, fast ways to collect cash (ATM), fast jets, trains, and cars; the human being now wants the world to move faster for him. Even as it might be wrong to nature, but because man is the master of all, he can find a way to make all his wishes possible, one of which I am going to be sharing with you today.

As soon as you can get your request over to the subconscious mind, it is only a matter of time before your request materializes, which could be in a matter of days or even hours. I have been using the law of attraction for 3 years now, and I keep studying it everyday, and learning new things. I found out that some of my requests materialized faster than the others, so I carried out a research to find out why it was so,and found out that, those request that materialized faster were the ones I successfully got to the subconscious mind faster.

For the benefit of the people that don't know how the mind works, I would give you a little lecture. The brain is divided into two phases; the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious is the part you use for reasoning and observation of your everyday encounters, and it also acts as a guard to what gets to the subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind holds your beliefs & habits (which have been accumulated over a long period of time). Your conscious mind acts as a gate to the subconscious mind, so it allows only what it perceives as true, or in-line with the persons beliefs. And since, some of our beliefs might be false, they are taken as true and let into the subconscious mind, and what ever gets into the subconscious mind controls the persons life.

What the above explanation is trying to say is that once anything gets to the subconscious mind, the mind works (24 hours a day) on the best way to make it a reality; that is to make it materialize. To further explain this, Dr Robert Anthony, the author of the best selling book, The Ultimate Secret of Total Self-Confidence, in the opening chapter of the above mentioned book talked about hypnotizing people and giving them suggestions which they believed and acted upon. For example, he shared a story in the book of how he hypnotized a lady, and suggested to her that she could not lift a pencil, and to the utmost amazement of the audience, she tried all her best but could not.

What happened was that he had put her conscious mind to sleep, and got his message directly to the subconscious mind (which takes any suggestion that gets to it as true), which then acted as instructed. So, now, you have gotten the secret, all you have to do is to find a way to put the conscious mind to temporal sleep, and slip the your message to the subconscious mind. The best way to do that is to get to a near sleep state and then repeat your request, many times, out loud. The other way I found is to listen to classical music on a loud volume, this also reduces the resistance of the conscious mind. I found out that when I got the quickest results using the law of attraction to materialize my wants were times when I plugged up my "Ipod" to my ears on full blast, and visualized as well as affirmed my request.

How to Get Rich Rewiring Your Brain

2011-05-15T12:10:00.000-07:00

Riches start from within; you have to get rich within before you get rich "without." This is one thing a lot of people don't get, and that is why you hear of people that win the lottery and end up broke in a matter of months. You also have poor at heart people that hit it big, but end up broke after a couple of years, or even months. The thing is that they had a lot of money, but they still had a poor mentality, so once the money was all gone, they didn't know how to get it back. Henry Ford, the early 20th century American Industrialist was once asked what he would do if he lost all his fortune, and he said he would gain it all back within a short period of time, because he could never be robbed of his real wealth, which lies in his brain.

That is what you should understand before you go on reading this article; real riches are in the brain, and that is where they should be mined, and not on the outside. A lot of people have been brought up with the mentality that it is hard to get rich, or that you cannot get rich if you were not born with a silver spoon, or that riches are a bad thing; all this are wrong notions, and they stop you from getting rich. You have mentally enslaved yourself from riches if you have any of these views; your job should be about rewiring your brain to think otherwise, so as to get rich. I guarantee that once you start thinking like the rich, it would only be a matter of time before your own riches locate you.

The first thing to know is that you are the co-creator of your life; that means you choose your own destiny. I have found out that a lot of people, especially from the part of Africa where I am from, believe that God has already written out their lives, and there is nothing they can do to change it. You need to change your notion if you also think this way, because it is false. The truth is; God has given each individual the "free will" to choose whatever he or she wants to be in life. That is why it is said in the Bible that- "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." So, what you really have business with is changing the way you think.

You become what you believe, you believe what you think, and you think what you see, hear and talk. The last sentence is worth reading a second time; and a third time, because that is where your answer lies. Since you know you have the power to get rich by rewiring your brain, what you have to be interested in is how you are going to achieve that. And the best way to do that is to change what you feed your brain; mentally that is. So, feed your mind through your most responsive senses; read articles and books that talk on acquiring riches as not a hard task; listen to motivational seminar recordings that talk on how you can get rich from nothing, and visit beautiful places while having it in mind that you can afford all that.

While you carry out all this, you would start having a new perspective to life, and you should also back it up by having affirmations that you say out loud every day. You could say affirmations like- "money flows to me effortlessly." As it is said, your words are a creative force, and get to your brain, which is the creative factory. And also, psychologists have also discovered that words said consistently, even if false, are over the time believed to be true by the person saying them. And once you believe something, it would become a reality in your life. As long as you follow these steps, you would start changing your inside, building it to recognize riches as its natural state, and once you can attain this, once the inner and the outer are the same, nothing would be impossible to achieve, including getting rich.

How to Attract Money Using The Power of Your Mind

2011-05-06T11:50:00.000-07:00

Your mind is like a magnet, and it attracts that which you feed it. I think I can stop right there and live you to fill in the gaps. What I mean is that, since your mind is like a magnet, all you have to do is to think of money flowing to you endlessly, and that is exactly what would happen to you. It is so easy that it becomes hard for a lot of people to do.

I would like to further explain what I am proposing for better understanding- It is said in the bible, "as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he". This is the bane of the power of your mind to attract whatever you want. I am sure the last sentence has given you an understanding of why your mind is like a magnet.

As you are reading the words in this third paragraph, your mind is still pondering on the thoughts of what I wrote in the two paragraphs above; that shows just how powerful your mind is. Since you are reading this article not to be amazed at the power of your mind, but to put it to use, I am going to help you out with understanding just that. What you need to do is think like a kid in the sense of believing in fairy tales. If you do not do this, your conscious mind would keep alerting you on how hard things are in the country, and that is just what your mind would keep attracting towards you. From this moment, I want you to carry out a 2 week test; feed your mind with only possibilities of what you want, never focusing on what you do not want, and before the end of the 2 weeks, you would be astonished at how things would change in your life.

What you want is money, so what you should do is to feed your mind with all the good things in life you can buy with money. Night and day, visualize yourself in possession of lots of money, spending and buying all the good things you have always dreamed about. This exercise is to change the way you see money- which might be in the light that money is hard to come by.

The next step is to be sure of the exact amount of money you want and when you want it. You also need to have a reason why you want that amount of money. So, if it is a thousand dollars you want to attract; write it on a piece of paper like this- "I Kayode Odusanya bought a motorcycle of a $1,000 on May 9th 2011". Of course you replace my name with yours. Write it on a piece of paper you can carry around, and look at it several times during the day. Read the affirmation aloud just before you go to bed, and first thing when you wake up in the morning. Keep this up, for it is consistency that would do the magic.

The second step is for you to go along your daily routine, with a mind like you have already received what you are wanting. Be in the mood of how you would be if you already possessed what you want to use the money for. Wake up every morning with a smile on your face like you know the money is on its way; and constantly say out loud "I am grateful for the $1,000 that is on the way".

The last step is to be on the look-out for the money. It can come in any way, so do not limit the power of your mind. And one more thing, do not think of how it would come to you, your work is just to focus on the end result. Your conscious mind is limited in ways you can get that money, but your subconscious mind is limited. The last time I put this to work, the $600 I was trying to attract came through a man I had helped with $10 just the day before You might have to do a simple job for the money, or it might just come as a gift; whichever way it comes, you would recognize the fact that you attracted the money using the power of your mind.

Affirmations Can Lead to a Better Life

2011-05-04T12:50:00.000-07:00

Affirmations are words we write or say out loud that go with how we want our life to be. What ever you say continuously becomes a reality in your life, and that is the purpose of having affirmations. For example, if you want a better job, you can say something in this line- I presently work as the junior manager at.....(feel in the blank space with where you would love to work), making sure it is in the present tense.. If you constantly say this out loud when you wake in the morning, before you sleep at night, and when ever you can get a quiet time during the day, you would soon find your way to that position.

Affirmations can lead to a better life because you can use them to get whatever you want in life- no matter how big it might seem at first. Also, considering the fact that a lot of us have wrong beliefs that are drawing us back, and creating limits where there are none, the right affirmations help in changing those limiting belief, and help you become a better person.

There is the conscious mind, and there is the sub-conscious mind- the conscious mind is the part of your brain you use for reasoning at any given time, and the subconscious mind is the store house of your beliefs, your character that you have built over a long period of time. That is where your habits are buried, and it is also responsible for all the actions you carry out without thinking- like brushing your teeth, riding a bike, and carrying out some physical gesture that have become a part of you. Affirmations, if repeated over a long period of time, finally penetrate the subconscious mind, and become keyed in the system. After this, it is only a matter of time before their physical manifestations appear on the outside.

What ever kind of life you want, or what ever thing you ant present in your life to make it a better one, all you have to do is put it down in writing, and read it continuously out loud till it gets imprinted in the subconscious mind, and this way, you would be more or less in control of your life- thus, having a better life.

Trying to Gain Abundance- Does Positive Thinking Work?

2011-04-24T04:19:00.000-07:00

Positive thinking is a tool to gaining abundance but you have to know that it is not about thinking positively just a couple times a day, you have to be positive more times during the day than you are negative. When you look at the saying- "as a man thinketh, so is he"- you notice that it does not say "as a man thinks", or "as a man thought"; it says thinketh, because if you thought positive for 4 minutes in the morning and then the rest of the day, you are thinking negative, what do you think you would get? That's right- LACK.

Don't get me wrong, positive thinking is brilliant, and it does work, but it works only when it becomes a part of you, a part of your character and not just something you try to force on yourself at certain times during the day because you read about it in a book. You have to build a positive mental attitude. And when you have this, you also have to work on yourself in the area you want to get things done with positivity- make sure you are well grounded in it.

Relating to the last sentence of the above paragraph, I would like to use an illustration from one of my favorite TV series- How I Met Your Mother. Barney, one of the characters in it is a very positive minded person, and is always chiding his friend about not being positive enough, and there was a particular episode where there was a marathon to be run, and the person supposed to run it had an injured ankle, and Barney volunteered, even though the marathon was the next day. They told him it was impossible to run a marathon without training, but he, being very positive minded, and wanting to prove them wrong, took up the challenge. He ran the race all right, but he learnt his lesson when he could not get off the train latter on because he lost the use of his legs- he was temporarily paralyzed. The moral of the story? Even with all the positive mental attitude, you have to be prepared. And as the case with abundance, you have to be prepared for abundance and act like you are already in abundance.

You can not be using positive thinking for abundance for maybe an hour a day, and then you go back to your life, which is contrary to what you are wishing for. For example, you want abundance to flow to you, and you are tight fisted about giving to the needy. You have a hundred dollars in your pocket, and you can't spare a dollar for the homeless man that walks up to you on the street. What do you think that means, it means you have just cut the grass, but you are still rooted in poverty mentality. So, you have to totally erase the thought of lack from your mind, then fill it with the thoughts of abundance, and then, positive thinking would work for you in your quest to gaining abundance.

How to Reverse Poverty in Your Consciousness

2011-04-15T15:04:00.000-07:00

If you are reading this mail it means you agree that you have a poverty consciousness and are ready to change it. I think that is a wonderful thing, because a lot of people just know they are living in poverty, and do not know that it is their consciousness that is keeping them where they are; the inside always affects the outside. I want to say this is the first step on your way to a life of abundance. I stand to say that the only thing that separates the rich from the poor is what they have inside. While a lot of rich people have an abundance consciousness, poor people have poverty consciousness; that is why a poor man can win the lottery today to an amount of a million dollars, and be broke again in about a year.

1. Stay Away From People with Poverty Consciousness

As you have made it your mission to reverse poverty in your consciousness, you have to start watching the people you hang around. There are two parts of the human brain; the conscious, and the subconscious. The conscious one is like a guard at the door for the subconscious and allows only things that seem true and right in respect to the person's level of awareness. Anything that gets to the subconscious mind becomes a truth and a way of life even if it is false. The conscious mind is the one you use to reason on a daily basis, but your subconscious mind houses your habits and beliefs, no matter how false they might be, and it would take constant will-power for a change to occur.

Why I gave that brief explanation is to let you know how your brain works and the process of gaining better control of it. So, since you have, by yourself, agreed that you want to reverse the poverty in your consciousness, you can direct your conscious mind to accept that which only corresponds with abundance. When you do this long enough, you would penetrate the subconscious mind and re-write it. So, as they say, belief comes with hearing, that is why you have to stop hanging around people that have a poverty consciousness. Stop hanging around those people that think it is impossible to have everything one wants; stop hanging around the people that believe they can never be rich; stop hanging around people that feel they are not in control of their lives; stop hanging around people that believe that they are victims in this world.

2. Observe Nature

Take time out to go on long strolls. If where you live is not close to nature like mine, then find the park, and hang out there a lot. Feel the breeze on your skin; let it relax you till you start to connect with your inner self. Watch the trees, the birds in the sky, the clouds; you see how beautiful and abundant they all are? God made all those and he put you in charge of them all, so why should you think poverty? When you grasp this, you would start thinking in the right way- the way God made you think, not the way mankind has degraded itself to think. The greatest lie of mankind is that there is not enough in the world to go round for everybody, which is a big lie. The lot for everybody has been taking care of, it is just left to you to claim yours.

3. Visualize the Good Life You Want to Live

Visualization has to do with thinking of what you want in your future like they are already a reality. When you do this on a daily basis, your mind would start to believe that is really your reality. And if your reality is abundance, there would not be room for poverty consciousness. Do you get it? And the fun thing about visualization is that your imagination cannot be limited; it can only be limited by you. You can start visualizing all the beautiful things you want in life; the car; the house; the stacks of money in your wallet.

4. Keep Repeating the Re-programing

Repetition is the best way to re-program the brain, so you have to keep repeating all the things that relate with abundance that i have listed above. Keep at it, and with time you would have successfully reversed the poverty in your consciousness. Read a lot of articles like this one; watch short videos on youtube.com that are on abundance, and keep deliberately feeding your mind with the thoughts of abundance.

Ways You Can Feel Rich Now

2011-04-05T10:03:00.000-07:00

I have always believed, and it remains a fact, that becoming rich starts with the feeling of it; the physical materialization in the real world then follows. So, for those that just want to feel rich for the sake of it, they have an added advantage of becoming rich sooner than later. You have to know that feeling rich is a state of mind, and i am going be talking about easy ways you can get into that frequency that would not cost you a dime- thus, teaching you how to feel rich now, with no charges incurred.

One of my favorites is to hang out where rich people hang out; this has always given me an instantaneous feeling of being rich. What you should do is dress up good; don't try too hard to look rich, you could just try to be formal and very neat, maybe in slacks and linen pants, or skirt and a blouse for a girl, and you walk into a diner in a neighborhood with expensive looking building. You do not have to spend a lot, in fact, if you go there around mid-day, you would notice that around this time people are just taking cups of coffee, and how much would that cost you? Just sit there, in the midst of all the bankers and investors, sipping your cup of coffee, thinking about good times to come, and feeling like a million bucks. I am sure you already have a mental image of that what that would look like.

The other thing you can do is listen to classical music on your way to the bus-stop, or while you are walking to the near-by grocery store or while going to see a friend some streets away from yours. I do this all the time, and it has a lovely feel to it. You would feel like you are in a movie, and it is like everybody is dancing to your tune. You would not for once think of any of your worries, and you would feel so good, you would start to feel rich.

Jogging through an expensive neighborhood is another good way of feeling rich. You could chart your morning jogging session to cut through an expensive neighborhood. When you do this, you would expose your vision to expensive looking buildings, fountains, beautiful lawns, expensive looking cars, and all the kind of things that your brain associates with riches. If You do this a lot, you could just visualize on what you have been feeding your mind all this while, and you would start to feel rich, even without carrying out all the activities i have mentioned.

The Secret of Getting Rich

2011-04-01T11:46:00.000-07:00

As the world keep increasing in population, and technology keep growing, it is becoming easier for people to become rich, but that same advantage is also stopping a lot of people from achieving their dreams of becoming rich. You see, getting rich has a little secret, and the secret is that you have to get rich within first before you can get rich on the outside; but because the growth in development, although makes work that used to be complex simpler with machines, makes people learn more and more complex techniques, and all this lives no room for the normal man to connect with the "Giant Within".

The first thing for any person that really wants to get rich needs to do is to create some quiet time in all the hustle and bustle or that frustrated daily jobless life, and connect with the inside person. What we need to know is that we have the answer to all the questions that you can come up with- and the answer would come from within.

After you have gotten acquainted with the other you, then you need to start building a new you from the inside. You have to build, from the inside, what you want to see on the outside. You need to have the image of the kind of riches or what you define as rich, and then see yourself already as living that life. If getting rich to you entails owning companies all over the world, see that in your imagination every time you have your quiet times. Whatever image you have, put yourself as the fore-runner, make yourself the leading Man in the movie of your life.

When you have cultivated the habit of building from within, the next step is to act in that light. What I mean is that a rich person does not walk around all day complaining about not having money- instead, he thinks of ways to manage the one he has, and how to get new money flowing to him. So, you have to start living with this kind of attitude even though you have not yet attained the status, but having the attitude now would fast track you journey. And you also need to make your surrounding and everything you do correspond with that life.

When you have gotten this far, it is only a matter of time before you become rich. Of course you must have a plan- don't worry, if you can't come up with one of such magnitude as the life you want, the giant within you would do that, and it will come to you as a form of inspiration, which you would need to act on. The super-conscious mind within you is never wrong, and would provide for you the shortest and best way YOU can become rich- when you receive that inspiration, ACT!

There is one more thing- you have to follow the universal laws. While some people would list up a lot of list of things under the law, I would just like to sum it up as "do unto others what you would want done unto you". For example, even though you might not have much now, giving unto others that are less privilege would propel you faster up the ladder- you would receive more in the process,and giving would give you that feel of abundance that you need to become rich.

Secrets to Lasting Success (Part 6)- Writing Goals Down

2011-03-30T18:58:00.000-07:00

I discovered this principle to lasting success a little over a year ago, and it has helped me a great deal since then. I have a very photographic memory, and i always like exercising my brain, so i never thought of writing down my goals on a piece of paper in the past, that is till i read about it in 3 books back to back- i mean i read three different books, simultaneously and they all talked about "the good" writing down ones goals can bring to ones life.

The thing about writing down your goals is that you are not relying on your brain, which can be crowded with so much information and forget your goals. When you write them down, you can always go back to them to refresh your memory on what and what you have to achieve and at what time. You should have daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, yearly goals, and even life term goals. Writing down goals give a life to what you want to achieve, and the beautify of it is that if you do not succeed in completing all your goals, you would at least have gone more than half way through your list, which would be way better than if you didn't have written down goals, and achieved little or nothing.

I always enjoy tackling my daily goals, going for the hardest goal first. When i have tackled that one, and i mark it out in my writing pad, it gives some form of joy that makes the other tasks easier to accomplish. And as i go ahead with the list, i experience more joy with every completed tasks, and tackling my daily goals now become an enjoyable thing to do.

Start right now to write down all the things you want to accomplish before the end of the year, then create another space where you would pick from those goals, the ones you want to tackle this month, and then you further pick the ones you want to handle this week, and then, on a daily basis, you pick about 2 or 3 of your goals, which might be broken down tasks of the bigger goal, and tackle them. When you pattern it this way, you would have successfully broken down a BIG goal to bits, and make it very realistic to accomplish, to the point that nothing looks impossible to achieve in your eyes any longer.

Secrets To Lasting Success (part 5)- Nothing Beats Persistence

2011-03-07T10:46:00.000-08:00

In my years and experience as an entrepreneur, i know nothing beats Persistence in your quest to achieving success in any field of endeavor you find yourself. In fact, i can say that it beats talent...it even beats education. Anybody that can discover the one thing he wants to do, and can stick to that thing, even in the face of the defeat, has beat one of the laws of the Universe- the law of relativity, which states that all of us on earth would at on point (or several times as the case may be) would be faced with challenges, which is a form of test from the Universe, and once you can pass that test, then you are guaranteed success.

If you quit, or change what you are doing after a short while...if you have this kind of habit, then it is sure that you would not persist in times of challenges, and you sure would not pass the test. This is one of the many benefits of being persistent in business, or work.

Another fact is that what you do for a long period of time, even if you were mediocre at it at first, with time, you would become good. And from there, you would become better...and with more time, you would become a force to reckon with to the point where people are chasing you around with their money, instead of the other way around with some other people. I am sure you are gradually getting the idea- you are understanding why persistence is a great secret to success; and i can say nothing beats it.

This is the reason why a lot of people are advised to go into what they are passionate about while going into business; because if you do not like what you are doing for money, there is a high probability that you would get to a breaking point where you would just get fed up of it, and give up. But, if it is something you love, or at least closely related to something you love, then you would find a reason to go on, even when you are not yet seeing the results that you want in them.

I started a couple of blogs some years back, and of all the blogs i have started, the one that gets the most views, and still functions properly(i update it an average of 5 times a week), is the one i have on Rap Music. You see, i love rap music, and at one point, while i was in college, i was ready to pay to have my articles ran on the weekly campus magazine. I would get into any discussion that had to do with rap music, and i have made most of the friends i have through that avenue. Even though the new passion i have recently developed is creeping up my skin and becoming an addiction, which is the quest to help people become better in all spheres of life, i still know the love of rap music would have a place in my heart for a long time to come.

I would also like to touch on the fact that persistence beats talent- i am sure you have seen a lot of actors and actresses, or musicians you look at, and you just wonder why they are getting all the awards, all the praise, when you know a couple of people that can sing or act better. I am sure you are nodding your head to that. The fact is that, those people you know might not be persistent with their works, and the person with less talent would just get over them.

Personally, i think songstress, BRANDY is a better singer than Beyonce, but, you know how persistent Beyonce has been. I started giving her her props when i saw a documentary of her career on the E channel. I saw a small bit of that where her and Kelly Roland where singing, and they were about 9 years old. I was left in Awe, and from that day, i have had another level of respect for her.

So, i end by saying, all you ever need in this world to succeed, to become the greatest you can be, has already been put in you, you just need to discover it. Once you do that, work on it till you are convinced it is good enough, then work on it some more. Don't stop working on it, even if you are not getting the immediate results, i guarantee you that when the results do come, they would come in truck loads- YOUR PERSISTENCE WOULD HAVE PAID OFF.

I wish you all the best.

Secrets to Lastin Success (part 4)- Think Confidently

2011-02-17T22:40:00.000-08:00

Some time ago, I used to wonder why some actors were on the scene- why are they so popular? Why do they keep getting roles? I got the answer to that question soon enough- confidence. Confidence in self is one of the factors that got them where they are. They would not have gotten that far if they kept thinking they were not good enough. This is what is killing a lot of people, lack of confidence. This is what the rich and successful use to their advantage.

If you want to be rich, you have to think confidently. You have to think confidently when mapping out plans of how you want to achieve your dreams. You achieve a lot more when you start thinking confidently; and you would definitely get more assistance from people, because your confidence would show them that you are sure of yourself and you know what you are doing.

The beginning of last year, just after I resigned from my job, I started writing affirmations that goes thus- “I, Kayode Odusanya, am an international best selling author.” If I was not confident of what I thought I could do, I would have limited myself to Nigeria, but I know that I was skilled enough to write at a world class level.

Just weeks after I started writing those affirmations, I saw an ad in the paper about a publishing company needing freelance writers, so I sent my C.V over. They got back to me and gave me an appointment the next week. When I got there on the appointment day, I met with a crowd of other writers; about 30 of them. I saw writers that had written for publications for more than 10 years; I saw writers that were established and came in expensive cars (I wondered what they were doing there); there was even a writer that said he was a friend to the original writer of the screenplay to Eddie Murphy’s Coming to America. Every writer came with manuscripts as voluminous as the Bible. I was the only one that came empty handed.

I could have let all that budge my thinking, but I just shrugged away the feeling and waited for instructions. At the end of the day, we were all given assignments to choose from three story plots, and develop in 2 weeks. I went to work immediately, and to cut the long story short, I was part of the 9 writers that were finally chosen.

And after a year, I became the only writer the company use constantly. Definitely, if I had thought I was no match for the other writers, then I wouldn't have gotten that far. Even if I had been picked as the first 9, I wouldn’t have given my best, and I might not have been picked as the sole writer.

In Exodus, one of the books of the Bible, there is an account of the some Israelites being sent ahead to check on the promise land, before the rest were to go. And they came back and told Moses and others that they were like Grasshoppers to the inhabitants of the land. What cowardly, low self- confidence thinking they portrayed, even though God was solidly behind them. A lot of people in this age still have this mentality; they still think like grasshoppers, and that is the reason why they don't go far.

Secrets to Lasting Success (Part 3)- Keep Getting Better

2011-01-30T17:41:00.000-08:00

There is a saying- if you are not getting better, then you are getting worse; i follow that motto in every sphere of my life, and i think you should to if you want lasting success. I have a friend that can do so many things, but he never focuses on one thing. And when a new person makes it big with a particular business idea or service delivery, he would come up and start saying he is better than that person and so so...i always remind him that- you "were" better than him, but not any more. That person got better, but he remained with the knowledge of yesterday- how do you expect to make headways today and the feature when you are still depending on knowledge of yesterday?

If you want lasting success in what ever field you are in, you have to keep educating yourself in that area. I don't mean you have to go back to the school or anything, but you can always update yourself on the internet. The internet service in all parts of the world is now getting really cheap, so you do not have any excuse for not self-educating yourself through google, and other search engines. You would get loads of free articles on anything you want, and if you go to websites like 4shared.com, you can get free books on virtually anything you want to learn, so you really do not have any excuse.

And if it comes to the point where you have to pay for a program or a course, then pay for it, because what you wold gain from it, in a short while, will far outweigh what ever amount you could have spent on acquiring the knowledge, even if you had to borrow to pay for it.

Apart from getting better in your line, you also have to get better all-rounder. When you know a little of so many issues, plus your own foundation knowledge in your area of specialization, then you would have an edge over the rest of the pack.

Getting better would open many doors for you- if you do not have a dime right now, just keep getting better, make sure you cultivate that habit, and you would see that success would gravitate towards you. And because you would have imbibed the habit of always improving yourself, your success would last longer than someone that just stumbled upon the success.

Secrets To Lasting Success (Part 2)- Keep Your Focus on Your Focus

2011-01-24T11:37:00.000-08:00

It is important for you to always "mind your business" when it comes to your success and progress in life. A lot of people get carried away with the next big thing, and loose focus on what their own business is about. What they don't realize is that every business has a gestation period, and the big thing they are looking at probably went through the same trials they are currently going through. When you learn to keep your focus on your focus, you incoporate longevity into your business and do not easily feasle away like a lot of businesses do.

What ever dream you have now can be achieved, no matter how big it is, all you got to do is make up your mind that you want to give all it takes to be successful in that field, and then go to work on the things you can do right now where you are with what you have that would move you closer to your goal, and the rest of the things will fall in place. This is so true, but a lot of people always want to wait for the right time, or jump from one next big thing to the other, instead of sticking to one thing. Okay, you do not have to do that thing the same way always, you can always re-invent yourself, and re-brand your business and all that, but once it is what you want to do, don't budge, just keep keeping on, and getting better in your field,a nd by the time you get noticed, you would get back all the lost time and money in matter of months, i am telling you.

Then, the last thing i want to talk about is putting all your resources into your business- i mean everything; your strenght, your money, your time, your connection, and all the resouces you have. You have to treat your business or dream like it is your life, and it would have no choice but to yield to you. Even when you start seeing success in your businesses, do not relent, keep this habit with you, and i assure you that lasting success would be yours.

Secrets To Lasting Success- PART 1 (Giving)

2011-01-20T09:13:00.000-08:00

Giving is one of the secrets to lasting success; a tool to getting blessed that a lot of people over look. And when i say getting blessed, meaning receiving, i don't necessarily mean money alone. There are a lot of ways you can receive in your life, which could be good health, peace of mind, money, joy and all the wonderful positive emotions of this world. And when i talk about giving also, i am not talking about giving monetary things alone- you could give a lot of things, even if you do not have money right now. You could give your time for a good course. You could help a blind man cross the road; you could work for a voluntary organization without getting paid directly, but trust me, you would get paid back by God- that is just the way the Universe operates.

When you develop the habit of giving, you would not even expect anything in return, because the joy you get from being able to give something to someone who needs is in itself alone to make you feel good. And when you don't expect anything in return, you would always be hit with the most overwhelming blessing back- so great and unexpected that you would be left in awe.

I study the Bible, not because any pastor said it is compulsory i do so, and not because i want to please anybody, but because i have read a lot of Motivational/Self Help books, and the teachings in the Bible have proved timeless and applicable to all areas of any my life, and any man who reads it. I do not know your religion, but if you could, for a better relationship withe the Infinite, then i inquire that you read it once in a while- or make it a daily tonic, if you can.

In 2 Cor. 9:6 it reads- "He who sows bountifully, will reap bountifully." It is guaranteed- what you sow you shall reap more than 10 times over. So, i say to you, when you think you have the least is when you should go ahead and give the must. You might have 200 naira right now and feel very miserable, but if you could just take half of that, and divide into 5 places, 20 naira notes, and share to the beggars at your bus stop (remember to give cheerfully without expecting anything in return), i guarantee that you shall receive- if not in cash, in kind, in a far greater measure. It is a universal law, and it would never change, just like the law of gravity does not stop working. The law of gravity is always working; there is no time that you would hear that someone forgot to turn it on and some people floated to space- it is always working, and it is not picky, it dose not choose who it would affect. That is the same thing with the law of giving- it does not choose who it would work for. That is why you hear of some people you might term as evil still being blessed because they are good with giving.

Cultivate that habit of giving and you would never be disappointed. It is said in the book of Luke 6:38, "Give, and it would be given unto you." As simple as that, and the law, as i said earlier, can never be disputed. When next you get your pay check, or any amount of money that gets into your hand, take out 10% of it and give to your church or mosque, and if you do not go to either, then give to charity. Find a foundation or a motherless babies home, and give to them. Your money can never be too small to serve a good purpose in a needy person's life. And if you do not want to go that far, then give to all the homeless beggars you see on the road until the 10% is gone. I guarantee you that the 90% you have left would be more than enough, and you would receive from sources you never thought possible.

How To Get Rich And Famous Without Breaking a Sweat

2010-12-12T22:32:00.000-08:00

Okay, before I start, the first thing to do is for you to think in your head, 'what does getting rich and famous without breaking a sweat mean to me'? After you have answered this question, then you can keep on reading. Let us say, to you, it means doing what you enjoy, and then getting rich, then, that brings us to what you have to do. Take a pen and paper, and write down a short, very short story, of how you want your life to go from where you are now, to where you want to be.

Take your time, but not too much; just make sure you make the story as sweet as you would want it to be. And you should also include all the luxury things you want present in your fantasy life. Make sure you do not hold anything out of it. For the purpose that you inputted in what you typed into the search engine to get to this page, you must have had a picture in your head; that is what you should put down on that paper. Do you want to be like Donald Trump, Paris Hilton, or Brad Pitt, or 50 Cent, or Miley Cyrus; then that is what you should put down.

After you do this, you now start using the law that would make all your desire become a reality; the law of attraction. Some people say this law is overrated I say it is downplayed. From experience, I can say this law works all the time, with anything you want, as long as you believe you can get it. Okay, my apologies if you do not know what the law of attraction means; to put it in the simplest form- it states that you get what ever you think of the most in your head. That means, if you can hold the vision of he kind of life; car; house you want, long enough in your head; the law would attract to you, people, events and circumstances that would make your desires and fantasies a reality.

Just last week, I was thinking of starting up a Publishing company to get all my books out, and also make money from publishing books of other authors, but I was thinking of the cash it would cost me. But, I stopped thinking of the barrier, which was the cash, and I was thinking of the outcome, and it always gave me joy when I did so, and just about a week after, an old friend that moved out of my neighbourhood called me, and the first thing he would say was that he really needed my help on how to invest this $3,000 dollars that he just got. The rest as they say is history.

So, based on what I said above, you should not let the how bother you, just focus on what you want. Focus on what you wrote on that paper every day and night; visualize it before you go to bed, and when you wake up in the morning, and before you know it, you would be rich and famous without breaking a sweat.

Can Attraction Make Me Rich?

2010-11-11T11:04:00.000-08:00

I am treating this article as a question; a question I hear asked a lot by people around me, and people online, so I decided to talk on the matter. And I want to confirm it; yes, attraction can make you rich. In fact, attraction can make you as rich as you "think" and "believe" you can be. Do you know why I placed emphasis on THINK and BELIEVE in the last sentence? It is because; you can only be as rich as you believe you can be. If you believe you can not be rich without working 20 hours a day, then that would be the case with you. But if you strongly believe that with 4 hours work a week, you can be rich; then the law of attraction would bring people, events, and circumstances to your life that would make your desire possible.
I am want to base my explanation on four principles that i believe if you follow with precision, then you would get results.

1. Have Rich Thoughts
As I said before, you can only be as rich as you believe you can be. So, you have to see yourself in the type of affluence you want to experience. Go out to car lots and test the latest cars; read travel magazines; surround your self with all the good things in life, and slowly and gradually, they would start to become your reality.

2. You Have to believe you Can be Rich
Without this, you would just keep wondering why the law of attraction works for others, and it has not been working for you. In fact, you would start to doubt that it works at all. So, you have to kill the doubt in you, and make sure you do not share your dreams with pessimistic people; they can be dream killers.

3. Keep Working at Your Optimum at Your present Job
Your present job might be something you do at home; a form of self employment, or it can be an office job, just make sure you do your best, and you never can tell; your riches might come from it. As long you do not doubt in your mind that you would be rich, the magic would work itself out.

4. Have Investment Plans.
I have never doubted for once that a large chunk of money would, one way or the other, find its way to a user of the law of attraction, but if the person does not have a plan for that money, then it might just go as fast as it came, so it is always good to have plans for your money. Have plan for the future, and pay investment planners to handle your money for you, thereby making your money work for you.

I strongly believe, without an atom of doubt in my mind, that if you follow the above listed steps; attraction would definitely make you rich.

Motivating Self

2010-10-26T05:44:00.000-07:00

There are times that you don't feel motivated enough to carry out your plans of becoming rich, so i wrote this article to tackle that. I hope you find it useful.

A lot of us can give advice to friends and family members, but when it comes to ourselves, we tend to forget all those pointers we were giving out for free. I think learning how to motivate self is a very vital lesson in the school of success. Before I delve into how you can motivate yourself, I would like to touch on why we need motivation in the first place.

I don't think anybody is immune to this condition; there are times even the must sort after motivational teacher/speaker faces some downtime, and he has to fire up his engine again. Motivation is like the fuel that powers your car; without it, sometimes you can't move on.

The main factor that causes lack of motivation is when an individual does not have a goal in life, and is just wondering through life, doing the next thing that comes to his mind. Anybody that does not have a sole aim in life, a dream of where he wants to see himself in the nearest feature, would always feel less motivated in life at the slightest appearance of any challenge. If you have a sole aim, all you have to do is step back on the track that is in direction of where you are going, and you would be good

Because some might not have focus on one goal, they have little confidence in themselves. It is funny, but this is the cause of a large amount of people that have low self esteem. They don't feel good about themselves, because they feel they have no value. But what they fail to realize is that what ever or whoever you are, once you pick up one goal, and you face it squarely, whether it is being a mechanic, or a comedian, or a doctor, you start to feel important because people would always need you at one point (and they would probably be at your mercy), and that is a confidence booster any day.

I would like to share some tips that have worked for me in the past. Whatever your lack of motivation is, at least one of these tips is guaranteed to work for you.

1. Focus on your strengths and not your weakness
A lot of us forget where we are or who we are, and we start focusing on what we do not have. You should stop at any time when you are feeling low to think of all the things you already have. Of course, you should always strive to move forward, but when you examine where you have already gotten so far, you should congratulate yourself, and then believe it is only a matter of time before you get where you are going.

2. Let go of the past
I can remember a time when I could not let go of the past and looking back at past events always kept me stagnant, and feeling down. I would duel on several occasions when I was in front of crowd and could not utter a word of what I had to say. All those embarrassing moment hunted me, until I knew that I could not change that, but I could change the future by acting in a better way. If you do not do this, you would continue to be the person you are, and that would only make you feel down.

3. Don't compare yourself with anyone
There would always be times when you look at the achievements of some of your peers and you wonder why you are not driving that fancy car or why you are not in that mansion; but you have to know that you have different journeys in life. In fact, you should look at this as a booster to keep your dream alive, and keep at your work. Just know that, you would get to that your dream place when the time is appropriate.

4. Watch a Comedy DVD
It would amaze you what a little humor would do for you. I can remember reading about a man that was diagnosed with some sort of cancer, all he did was to lock himself up for 3 months watching dozens of comedy DVD's. After he had gone through those months of laughter, he went back for a check up, and miraculously, there was no sign of cancer any longer.
There has never been a time that a little humor didn't help to get me back on track when I felt a little down.

5. Spend Time with Happy People
This is something that works for me all the time; but with my case, I spend time with kids. I spend time with kids when I am down because I found that 90% of the time, they are happy, and playing and joking. And I found out that moods can be very contagious. You could find a group of men or women you know are always happy and laughing and making jokes about one thing or the other, and before long, you would start to feel good again.

I wish you well as you motivate yourself back to happiness. Just remember, life is full of challenges that we learn from, and they never last forever.

How To Overcome Challenges

2010-10-17T12:04:00.000-07:00

It is funny that I am writing this article; five years ago, I would have been the last person on earth to give any advice on how to overcome challenges. Kayode Odusanya used to be a very negative person. I was always defeated at the sight of any challenge, not even thinking of a way out. I changed all that gradually, and I think a lot of people would learn from my opinion on this matter.
I can remember reading the CASHFLOW QUADRANT by "Robert Kiyosaki", and there was a part he talked about the fact that we all have abilities to overcome our greatest challenges only if we believed we could and took enough time to analyze them. One day, I was faced with the challenge of fixing our electricity generating set because the technician that usually worked on it was no where to be found and we really needed to use it.
I had seen the repairer fix it a couple of times, and I really wanted to practice what I had read, so I went to work. The repair kit was always in the garage, but nobody ever touched it, so I dusted it up, and I started repeating what I had seen done by the repairer many times. After a while of work, I tried it, but it didn't come on. I didn't give up; instead, I went back to work with the determination that I would not leave the place until it came on. Because I was looking at the challenge like it could be solved, the solution presented itself, and I was overjoyed when I tried it again and it came on.
Before I talk about how to handle challenges, I would like to touch on the fact that challenges would always be present in your life. They are the way through which you learn, and you are tested whether or not you deserve the things you get in life. Challenges come to teach lessons. Just like there would always be natural disasters on earth, you would always face challenges; just as there would always be wars, challenges would always come up.
1. Stay Calm
The first thing you need to do when you are faced with any type of challenge is to stay calm. It took me a long time to learn this, but when it became a part of me, it was like I was a god, and could dictate what happens to me. You can not at all time choose the circumstances you want to be in, but you always have control over how you react to them. When you take time to relax, take deep breaths when you are faced with challenges, you tend to handle them better. The next time you are faced with a challenge, instead of flaring up and reacting immediately, take some time to think, and you would be amazed at how better you would be in control of the situation.
2. Know that the Challenge can be Solved
This was one thing that was missing from my life for a long while, and I would just result to self pity anytime I was faced with a challenge. If you think that person that always seems to take care of his problems is lucky, tarnish that thought, he just believed it could be solved, and the solution presented itself. It was said in the Holy Bible that GOD would never let you face a challenge you can't overcome; have that in mind the next time you are faced with a challenge.
3. Break your challenges down to steps
I know some problems can be difficult, but try breaking them down to bits, and you would see how easier it would be to overcome. Think about how ants would detach a wounded cockroach, instead of trying to carry the whole roach into their food storage chamber. When I was to write my first book, I saw it as a challenge, and I overcame that challenge by understanding that it could be broken down to bits; researching the topic on the internet in the luxury of my room, coming up with each chapter, writing down stories to be inserted in, doing the actual writing, forwarding it to an editor(this meant I didn't have to be too cautious of grammatical errors, which stops a lot of people from embarking on a writing career), and forwarding the edited book to my publishers.
Following this steps would surely lead you to victory in any type of challenging situation you find yourself; just remember to have that 'never quit' attitude.

Focus- The Way to Getting Rich

2010-10-12T08:44:00.000-07:00

In the years I have spent so far on this earth, I have found out that all the highly successful people focused on one thing, and that one thing took them were they are now. The bottom line is that you have to focus on just one thing if you want to get rich.
Take a look at all the billionaires you read about in the papers; BILL GATES is a billionaire today because of just one thing, dealing in computer software. Mastering that industry and the passion he had for it gave him the 54 billion he is worth today. If you look at a lot other billionaires, you would find out that the bulk of there wealth comes from just one major thing; WARREN BUFFET- Stocks;DONALD TRUMP- Real estate, just to mention a few.

You are never going to be operating at your optimum capacity if you keep diversifying your energy into different things at the same time. I'm sure you would have heard the adage that says "jack of all trades, master of none". You would be amazed at how much you can achieve if you focus on just one thing, I assure that your achievements would surprise you.

When you start operating in this form, you would be surprised how easy it would be to accomplish task that are in the line you have chosen. And as time goes on, you would be an expert, a professional in that line, because of how much time you have spent learning about it. And what happens when you become an authority in a field? You become one of the most sort after people in that field.

The way to go about this is to make up your mind to focus on just one business or career, preferable something you have a passion for, and don't ever turn back from it, no matter the challenges you might face on the way to success. There is no way you can go wrong, it might just take a little longer than you thought, but when you get there, you would know that the wait was worth it.

Starting from this very moment you are reading this article, make up your mind on what you want to focus on and go ahead and start something on it today, no matter how little that move is, just make it today.

There is no Quick Way To Get Rich

2010-10-09T13:19:00.001-07:00

Getting rich follows the natural rule of the plants we see all around us; there is a time to sow and there is a time to reap. There are some crops that take 6 moths to produce, and there are some that take like 2 years; that is the same way with getting rich. There are times when you need money to settle a bill, you might get a weekend job that would give you a couple of dollars, but that would not get you rich, it would help you settle a pressing need.

There are a lot of people that get scammed on the internet when they read headlines like "make $1,000 in a day, even if you do not know anything about the internet.", when you see ads like that, just run, because they are all a big scam. They know a whole lot of people would be enticed with the idea of making a thousand dollars in a day, and they cash in on that. The funny thing is that, they might not even be practicing the system they are trying to sell to you, and the only way they are probably making a thousand dollars a day is by selling the e-book or e-course that supposedly helps you make $1,000 a day.

If you ever want to get rich, I mean really rich, then you need to plan long-term. Most of the millionaires and billionaires that you hear about today didn't make it in a day; I heard WARREN BUFFET bought his first stock when he was a teenager; BILL GATES spent years learning I.T, if these people spent years and maybe even a couple of decades making plans to become rich, then why would you just want to skip that stage and get all the money now?

I am not saying you have to spend years working before you get rich, technology has made things easier, and you can become a millionaire in as little as 2 years, even if you do not have any money right know, but you still need to build your wealth from ground-up. You can not build the roof without the foundation and the other part of the building in place; that is how getting rich is, it is a gradual process. How long it takes you to get there depends on how much intelligence and hard work you put into it.

The best thing to do is to have short-term goals for money and also long-term ones. When you go this route, the short-term income would take care of you while you are waiting on the long-term money to build up. For example, you can become an article writer, where you are paid a couple of dollars per article, probably 10 articles a day would give you $20, this would take care of you while you plan for your Internet Marketing empire which could be making you 5 figures a month, when you set all things in place.

So, I advise that you totally perish the thought of a "get rich quick" scheme, and put your thinking cap on. The deeper the foundation, the higher up the building can be built; so take the foundation has the time for planning, and sowing in your business, and you shall definitely get that rich life you have always dreamed of.

Get Rich and Stay Rich

2010-09-28T11:46:00.001-07:00

A lot of people have gotten rich, very rich, and then they fell, and became poor to the extent that they had to depend on someone else to survive. While I was coming back from church yesterday, I was reading a magazine in the bus, and I read how one of the Jackson's, from the Jackson 5, was back living with his parents, and another one was living with his girlfriend, and making a paltry $500 playing for a downtown club. This are people that were swimming in money for a couple of years, and now they can barely survive on their own. There are lot of people like that; musicians, athletes, lottery winners, that were making huge chunks of money at a time, but right now are living just above poverty level.

It can be easy to get all that money but I sure tell you that it is always harder to keep it, to keep the cash flow running. I think a lot of people have to learn how to get rich, and then stay rich; that is a very important lesson to learn. There are principles to follow, and I have done a lot of research and have come up with some principles peculiar with a lot of the richest men in the world. While I conducted the research, I was surprised to find out that they were some of the things I myself practice in my life. Although I do not claim to be rich yet, I have a steady flow of cash into my life at any given time. I would like to talk on some of these principles and how you can apply them in your own life.

The number one principle is the art of giving. I find it hard sometimes when I investigate the lives of some people that earn good amount of money monthly, and discover that I give out more money to charity than these people. What would it take for you to take out like 5% of your monthly income and give for a charitable course; or divide it and give to numerous beggars on the streets; or help a friend or a neighbour that is in need. It would not make you have less, in fact it would attract way more than you gave out. It is just a natural law, just like the law of gravity states that what goes up must come down, the law of giving states that when you give you shall receive, as simple and straight-forward as that.

When you give out, you are expressing that you have more than enough, and you would surely get more. The other thing to do if you want to stay rich after acquiring money is to pay your tithe. Giving that 10% to God, through your church might seem hard, but what you would get in return far outweighs what you would have been able to do with that money. If you can strain yourself and pick up this habit, you would start getting blessed from ways you would never expect. I remember the very first month I started tithing, I got paid like $100 extra on my monthly pay-check for what I still don't know what for.

If you want your money to stay flowing in, you should invest that money in yourself. If you spend $20,000 on a course that increases your earning power by 20% more than what you are presently making; isn't that a brilliant idea, considering the fact that the course might not take more than 6 months to complete. Depending on what field you are in, there are different ways you could invest in self and earn more, you just have to do some research and find out what works for you. Know one thing, you have to keep educating yourself if you want to keep getting money, because time changes yesterday, and the way you once made money would soon become obsolete.

Another principle to follow is to invest in projects that bring in residual income. If I can explain it in my own words, residual income is the type of income you get continuously after setting up or investing in a system once. For example, the money you get on rent from a building you own, or money from partnering with a telecoms company, or money you get from investing in a publishing company. There are a lot of other types of residual income, you just have to carry out a little research and know which one that is in the limit of what you can afford. Just imagine the money in riches that any individual that invested in the publishing of Michael Jackson's catalogue; do you get the picture now?

Following all these principles would guaranty that you would definitely keep any form of riches you have been able to acquire, or that you would acquire in the future; you would keep money flowing to you at any given time.

In Your Quest for Riches; Watch What You Say

2010-09-23T13:17:00.000-07:00

Even if you are not a Christian, you would have at least heard of the Christians' belief of how the world was created. God didn't pay any construction workers, or wave any magical wand. All he did was to speak words; for example, "let there be light", and there was light. That shows you how powerful the words that come out of your mouth are. What ever you say has a force of its own, and it goes a long way to determine what you get in life.
A lot of people doom themselves with what they say, and they do not even realize it. If you have been brought up to believe some things are impossible, this has, through the years, programmed your brain with the notion that some things can't be done; thereby handicapping your brain capacity. If you believe you can not own a car worth $100,000, then nothing will put you in the line of being able to afford that car. I am not saying you should become ostentatious with your spending, but just stop limiting yourself. Even if you do not feel you should buy something like that, you can just say "I can afford it, but I don't need it right now." That is a better way to look at it, without thinking small.
There have been a lot of times when I kept saying something repeatedly and the things ended up being a reality in my life. Like I would say I would buy this and that, and with time, the money would come along one way or the other; that is because I believed I could get it. Another thing your words do is to gradually make you believe what you continuously say. When you say words long enough, even if you did not believe that you could actually get the things when you first said it, with time, you start to convince yourself that you can actually get those things.
One thing you need to stop doing is saying negative things to yourself, because they will come to pass. Saying things like "I would never be as rich as that", or "I can't afford that car", or "I can't afford that house". I have programmed myself never to say words like that, and even typing them right now makes me feel bad. They are killers, and if you didn't know, you are worth more than you think you are; you have just been killing your potentials with the words that you utter out of your mouth all this while.
Starting from this moment, write a list of positive affirmations in order to change the way you think. When you succeed in changing the way you think, what you say would also change in the process. You can start by saying "I can afford it", when you see things that you think are out of your reach. By so doing, you would re-wire your brain to think in possibilities, and you would subconsciously start to think your way into circumstances that would materialize all your positive thoughts.

Save Money by Spending Less

2010-09-21T04:42:00.000-07:00

I think one of the factors that stop a lot of people from reaching there goals, or where they want to be financial is their spending habits. See it this way, the way you spend money can be like you using a bowl full of holes to carry water from the tap to a bucket you want to get filled up; you need to stop and mend those holes, or use another bowl without holes if you intend to feel up that bucket.
For you to tackle this problem of overspending in the bid to save money, you have to consider where all the money is going in the first place. I did a research, and I found out that there are five major things people spend money on; food, shelter, communication, transportation, and bad habits. You need to sit back and check yourself to find out which, or whether all this means are the way your money is going. After you do that, make it a task to find a way to tackle it.
The beauty of saving money is that, the more you save the more you would attract to yourself. That principle was discussed in the classic book, "the richest man in Babylon." Apart from that principle working for you, having money in the bank also makes you feel good and secure, this keeps you vibrating in the positive frequency, which in itself alone, is enough to bring you more prosperity.
If you want to spend less on food and save money, then you need to stop eating out; cook your own food at home, and have a flask to take food with you if you are going to be out a long while. Consider the fact that the food you cook at home is more hygienically prepared compared to some drive-in; use that as an excuse when people laugh at your decision.
For shelter, you could share the cost of house rent by paring up with two or three people to get a 3 bedroom apartment, if you are not married. But if you are married, make sure you keep your spending low on the apartment you get. You don't need to compare yourself with your peers and get a house that keeps your account in the red. You can always get a modest house, and I advise you use the remaining change saved up for some form of investment that would get you closer to owning your own home in the nearest future. If you must know, the one time richest man in the world "warren buffet", stays in the same 4 bedroom duplex he purchased over 20 years ago.
To keep your cost down on phone bills, you need to stop making unnecessary long calls, and keep text message sending on the high side instead. You might think those calls don't cost much, but when they pile up, they become a monster in your life.
For transportation, fuel is now on the high side, so you do not have to keep taking your car out everyday. You could take it out when you are going out with the family, or some of your friends, but it is advisable to take a bus whenever you want to go. It would definitely keep your cost down. In the long run, you would see the benefits.
For bad habits like drug addiction and alcoholism, you need to check into a rehabilitation centre. I think that is the only way you can do this, because you can't fight it on your on. That huge sum you are spending on getting "high" could be put to some good use, which would get you a natural "high", so you need to tackle that problem.
Basically, examine your life, and find where you have loopholes to your finances, and fix them; this would help you save more money. And the earlier you do that, the better it would be for you financially, and even emotionally; so make that move today.

Becoming a Millionaire

2010-09-09T08:52:00.001-07:00

No, I am not going to tell you about some get rich quick scheme, or how to win the lottery. If you were thinking in that line, then you can stop reading right now. But if you want to learn to legitimately get to millionaire status in the shortest time possible, with hard work and planning, you can keep reading. Before I go on, I would like to say one thing; your current status is in no way a determining factor of whether or not you could be a millionaire. Even if you were not born into a rich family, I guarantee that with the right laid down plans, you can become a millionaire.
I am going to make it as simple and plain as possible; you need to be earning a steady income. You need to save money out of your income for a bigger project; have a millionaire mindset; have no doubt in your mind that you would make it, and invest wisely. That is all you need to do to become a millionaire. And don't let anybody tell you otherwise, because if you study every millionaire on the face of the earth, they had all this qualities. Maybe not in the order I listed, and maybe a little more, but it is basically the same principles.
So let us start with getting a steady income. I am going to assume the worst case scenario; you do not have a job, which is okay, as long as you do not plan to remain that way. So, from this moment, start looking for where you could get a job that would pay your bills and keep food on your table, and then you are on your way to becoming a millionaire. Make sure you save a proportion of your income, no matter how little you earn. There would always be some money to save if you are determined to do so. So you need to cut off all unnecessary expenses like clothes not needed, drinking, clubbing, and all forms of frivolous lifestyle.
Every day you are at your job, be grateful for having that job, and start dreaming of the life of a millionaire that you would soon start to live. You need to have no doubt in your life that you are going to become that millionaire you dream to become. And then, when the money you are saving is large enough, maybe like 90 dollars, take a portion of it, and invest in yourself, by buying a book or books that would educate you financially. This is one thing a lot of people miss; they spend all those years getting college degrees, and they know nothing about how to get money. Don't worry, because this kind of education is the cheapest to pay for. With 30 dollars, you could get 3 or more books that would educate you financially, and open your eyes to investment, and business opportunities that you would have never known other wise.
Go for seminars; keep buying books and getting educated financially. Weigh all your options, and a time would come when you would find an investment or business opportunity that you can comfortably go into, based on your expertise or passion, that would give you the highest return on investment. Imagine learning how to triple or even increase in ten folds every money you earn. And while your peers are spending money on expensive shoes, you are turning a $50 investment into a 5 figure business. Yes, that can be done, with the right knowledge, and some time.
When you keep up with this, you would, on your own, discover the secret I am about to reveal to you. Solve peoples problems, and you are on your way to becoming a millionaire. Solve housing problems, shopping problems, health problems, and so on, and people would be chasing you around with their money. I wrote a book some time a go on dealing with a sexual problem. It took me a week to write, and I sell it on the internet. I can say I have made the must of my money from that book, and I keep making money from that same book over and over again, with no further work. You just need to find a problem you know is very common, and would be around for a long time; find a solution to it, and that is your cash cow right there. You would milk it for as long as you are alive.
I guarantee that if you follow these guidelines, and with the right planning, you can become a millionaire in a few years, starting from nothing.

Watch your Finances

2010-08-25T13:25:00.000-07:00

I had actually typed up a 750 word article to put up, but i have a problem with my system. I don't know if it is a virus or something, but i can't seem to copy and paste articles that i have written on Microsoft Word, on my blog. Anyway, i was thinking of the heading i am writing on because i was thinking about it all day.

A lot of people do not even care or pay little attention to their finances, and they don't keep stock of what they spend until they are knee deep in debt. I can remember watching the movie, "the shopaholic", and that lady would shop with her last penny. In fact, it was not her money she was spending because she was already on debt, and just spend more on her credit card limit.

I think sometimes, it is kind of a blessing for people like me in Nigeria, where Credit cards are not that integrated into the system. I can actually watch what i spend on, and i can reduce impulse buying. But in the case of a lot of Americans, you have the liberty to buy now and pay latter; although it might seem like a good thing, it is when you are having sleepless nights from debt that you know what's up.

I have the pride of getting every thing with my hard earned cash; the car, the clothes, the phone, the laptop, everything i have. I believe you can get everything you want right now, ANYTHING, and you do not have to own a credit card.

Till i come your way again, watch what you spend on

Start With What You Have

2010-08-13T13:16:00.000-07:00

A lot of people make the mistake of waiting for everything to be in the right place to make that move towards there dreams, but it does not always work that way. You have to start with what ever you have, and the rest will fall in place as long as your passion is in what you do. The way the world works is a very principled way, but you can say the world is kind to everybody as long as you do your part. You want to be a musician, a famous one, then keep that dream alive by practicing your singing all the time, and doing some other job that would keep food on the table, and one day, you would get everything you need.

You should not wait till a famous musician comes to your town; or when your uncle or mom buys you that guitar; or when you get that huge chunk of money to set up your career; any level of greatness you want to achieve can be done with small steps, which then lead to big steps, and then, GREATNESS!!!.

Okay, I am sure you are wondering what is going on. You sure didn’t expect to be reading about me talking music; you want to hear about money. I know, but that was just an illustration and I believe everybody that wants to get money needs it for a reason. If you want to get very rich, you must have something you want to do for the riches to come your way; whether you want to work your way to riches, or you want to be an athlete, or a musician, or a book writer- whatever your chosen part is, start right away, because there would never be a right time to start any project. You would never have everything you need at the same time, you just have to start working with what you have, and the rest of things would fall in place; you would attract them, because of your passion and belief in what you do.

Another thing that people have to take off their minds is the belief that some people are just luckier than others; that is a big misconception. We are all born with the power to do and be whatever we want, it is how you position yourself to receive what you want that is important. So don’t ever think you need to get money from that your rich uncle, or that your rich friend, or that you need to be connected to the ruling party; I know people who had all that and still didn’t do anything with it, it is all about your passion, and your desire to make money out of it.

I can remember a time when I was always talking about getting rich from writing, of course, it is happening now, but then I was just wishing; and then an opportunity came, and I did not have any ready work to show for it. I would never make that mistake again, and you should never do to. Luck is just preparedness meets opportunity. You must have something ready for when you opportunity comes. As Will Smith once said- "If you stay ready, you wont have to get ready".

From this moment, go and start that thing you believe can make you rich, and stop procrastinating, because there would never be a time when you would have everything you need (or that time might be too late for you). Just do it, and you would not regret it.

rich thoughts

2010-07-02T20:07:00.000-07:00

Getting rich is not just something you wish for, but a state of mind. It is when you begin to know that getting rich has a lot to do with how you think that you are on your way to riches. A lot of people just want to win the lottery; or wish that a briefcase filled with thousands of dollars would fall on their front posh and they would for ever be rich; forgetting that the money, no matter how much it is, would finish one day.

When you get it into your head that getting rich is a state of mind and not just about working the hardest to get money, then you might as well have a million dollars in your account. Every form of riches is first conceived in the head of the person that acquired it, before the plan is now acted upon in the physical; do you get it now?

You have to start spending a lot of time thinking rich thought in your head; think of the beautiful house you want to live in; think of that lovely vacation spot you have been dreaming of visiting; or that luxurious car that you have been dreaming of buying. When you do this, you are sending positive signals to your subconscious mind, which would in return act on this thoughts and translate them to their physical equivalent, through the best way possible.

It does not mean that you should become a dreamer, and have no action; you have to act on something. Even in the bible, it is said that God would bless you with what you have in your hand, so you need to have a skill, or be on a job, that would be the channel through which your riches would come about.

Don't ever think it is not impossible; don't ever think you can't get that dream house of yours, because if you do that, you have defeated yourself, by yourself. You need big dreams, and you need to think them so much that they take over your whole being. You have to get so passionate about your big dreams, and about getting rich that you start seeing yourself already living that life. Then, and only then, would the processes that would lead to you actualizing your dreams be sped up

THE SUREST WAY TO GET RICH

2010-04-19T18:17:00.001-07:00

Contrary to what a lot of people might say, i think the surest way to get rich is to face what you were born to do. Although i think we should all know that talent is not enough, so you have to put in a lot of work, and burn all the bridges. When i mean burn the bridges, i mean all the bridges; don't even have a "plan b".

Andrew carneige said something a couple of decades ago that still holds a lot of weight today, he said, "keep all your eggs in one basket and watch it with all your life. This is hard for a lot of people to do, but it sure works. You have to know that the higher your risk, the higher the benefits you would likely get.

As i said before, talent is not enough, you have to back it up with consistency and you have to percivere through all the challenges with an optimistic view for your future. When you do this, you have set a wheel in motion, one in which only one person can stop; that person being you.

When you put in the quality of work that can be measured with the kind of results you want to see, giving room for no negative thoughts, then you would be on your way to accumulating the kind of riches you have always dreamed about, faster than you ever thought.

THE FASTEST WAY TO GET RICH

2010-04-17T18:22:00.001-07:00

I think the fastest way to get rich is to study the successful people in the field you have chosen to thrive in, and find out how they made it. Going this route would cut off a lot of mistakes you would have made if you were going to just go about on a "trial by error" format were you would loose a lot of money and time. This way you are standing on giants shoulders, which means you are not starting from scartch.

This method would work better if you have a mentor, who has become an aspect in your field, this way he would guide you on what to do and what not to do to get the best result. It would be like you are taking the batton from him 10 meters to the finish of a 100 meters dash.

If you can't get a mentor in a person, then read books in your field, reading by experts; or study the lives of countless successful people in you area of expertise, and learn from there mistakes. If you carry out your analysis well enoug, you would sure notice one thing that a lot of them have in common, that is what you should adapt, develope and master. That is why you have the local library in your area, or even easier, the internet, where you can get dozens of articles written about the people you would like to be just like.

If you understand what i am getting at, you would agree with me that there really is no other way faster than this to getting rich.

MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME: ONE SURE WAY TO GETTING RICH

2010-04-16T17:56:00.000-07:00

As much i would say it is always a good decision to focus on just one thing, there is beauty in multiple streams of income if you know how to go about. You don't have to branch out of your field, all you have to do is go into sub areas or fields very closely related to yours.

For example if you are a musician, a very popular one, it would be wise to cash in on your fame and start off something a lot of your fans would easily part away with there money to be involved. For example, a rapper starting off a clothing line that fits what the demograph that listen to him wear. This way, he is making from him being a rapper, and still cashing in on his popularity by selling wears to his fans; now tell me that is not wise.

In the example above, the rapper does not have to know anything about clothing business, and marketing wears, he would have experts do all the work for him, this way he is not going to loose focus in anyway when it comes to his music.

Whatever line you find yourself, there is always a way to start generating multiple streams of income without loosing focus of your goal. For example, i am a writer, and i make money from selling the books i write, but i still make money online from blogging. I have not deviated in anyway from my first love, and my mission in life, but i am making money two ways. So there should always be allowance left for earning coming in from more than one source.

I believe this a very wise decision if you want to rise to a level of financial freedom faster than your peers. You don't have to burn yourself out and get two or three jobs, just be wise about your decisions and make sure they are things you can do easily, must like things you are passionate about, and everything would just flow. This one way that can lead you to buy all the things you have always wanted, and still have savings, because it is not coming from one source.

HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

2010-04-15T14:25:00.000-07:00

Hi? I would like to introduce myself again; my name is kayode, and i am the editor of this blog. The chief aim of my setting up this blog is to help people that feel defeated and feel they are failures and can't succeed in life. As i said in the first ever post to this blog, i was once like that.

I failed at everything: I failed the exams that was meant to get me into the University, 4 times before i finally passed. I failed in every business i set up; i failed in my relationships. It was until i changed the way i think, and started reading up motivational books and started acting upon some of the things i was learning, with faith, that my life changed.

I just want to say that i appreciate your coming over to my blog, and i would do everything in my power to give you the best quality stuff that would help you in becoming a better man. I want you to keep reading all my post up in here,and make sure you act on them, and if you ever want to contact me for anything personal, then you can mail me at odus29@yahoo.com, i would be glad to receive your mail.

YOUR FRIEND
KAY.

THINK LIKE THE RICH BUT DON'T SPEND LIKE THEM.

2010-04-11T12:55:00.000-07:00

A great formular for accumulating riches is to think like the rich but don't spend like them. Before i go on, i want to clarify that you know the role your thoughts have in making you the person you want to be. If you didn't know, all riches are first planted in the head before their physical manifestation. Going on with what i was saying; a lot of here the saying THINK BIG, and they go ahead and think big, and also spend big.

You should know that you have to crawl before you start walking, so you have to increase your value and marketability before you ca start spending like the rich. But you are free to do is to think big; dream big dreams in your head and let you imagination work. When you keep doing this daily, your subconscious mind then channels you in the right part through which you can live your dreams in the physical.

If you go ahead and put the cart before the horse, then you have a very clumsy situation. A lot of people make this mistake, and they start spending all their hard earned money on expensive clothing, trying to look like the rich, instead of accumulating debt, why not increase your savings so that one day, in the very near future, you could comfortable afford all the things you have been wishing for, without getting yourself in any financial mess.

DON'T EVER THINK YOU CAN GET RICH FROM SHEER LUCK.

2010-04-09T13:31:00.000-07:00

It seems funny to me when i consider the amount of people that still believe they can get rich from sheer luck. To me, luck is preparedness meeting opportunity. So, for the fact that you are reading my article today, i want to beg you to remove yourself from the multitudes that believe that their being rich or not is all a matter of luck.

You hear people make statements like: "he is such a lucky man, he can afford anything he wants", but they fail to investigate, look into the background of that person they are adoring, and know what he went through or what he had to do to get where is. Let's face facts, a lot of us would not like to go through all what this billionaires went through to get where they are.

Just like you here that an AMERICAN rapper like LIL WAYNE sold over3 million copies of his 2008 release, THA CARTER 3: That is what a lot of people know; they don't know he had had 5 albums before that that were not as successful; they don't know that he has been in the rap game since 1998, trying to blow; they don't know all the challenges he faced before he made it big. All that while, he was preparing himself for the greatness he is enjoying now, so it has nothing to do with luck.

You just have to register it in your head that nothing comes easy, and you have to work for it. If you want to be the richest man in your town, make it a burning desire in your heart, live it in your mind, and make preparations for it, and the opportunities would present themselves. If you are living it to sheer luck, and you are not preparing, let's say by making your own products the best, when that multi-billion dollar investment comes your way, how would you handle it, if you are not prepared for something that big?

Once you have changed your mentality towards luck, then your eyes would open to multiple possibilities. When you change the way you think, then you would no longer be "in the box", and that is one of the successful people that go ahead to accumulate great riches for themselves.

DO YOU WANT TO GET RICH? THEN DON'T PROCASTINATE

2010-04-08T04:44:00.000-07:00

Yes, don't ever procastinate if you want to get rich. When you have to get anything done, just do it, don't ever leave it undone till the next day. It is dangerous to your financial health, and even for you as a person in every other thing you do in life.

I am sure there are different times you have thought about starting a professional course, or getting a skill in a new area, but the next day, you woke up tired and postponned it till the next day, then the next day....until you just waved off the idea.

I can remember about two years ago when i had like 4 unfinished books lying here and there in my house, and i would always tell myself that i would finish them at the right time, litle did i know that there isn't ever going to be a right time: The right time is right now. Thank God i learnt that, now i JUST DO IT. I am working on publishing my first book as i write.

So as i said it, there is never going to be a right time, so you have to just do it, and while you are doing it, every other thing that you thought were issues, things that were stopping you would just fall in place. Things like money; time; resources.

If you have been procastinating before now, just know it is a dream killer, and would slow you down. from getting the riches yu deserve; Just do it.

WHY SOME PEOPLE CANNOT SUSTAIN MONEY/RICHES

2010-04-05T06:00:00.000-07:00

Give a man that is poor in the mind a million dollars and it would only take a matter of time for that money to get into the hands of the rich or successful entrepreneurs; why? Because all the man would have in mind is that he has money, and he wants to start to live life like the rich, and thereby, he would spend all his money buying things that rich people have. While he is doing all this, he isn’t thinking of how to sustain that money; he isn’t thinking of a wise way to invest that money, all he is thinking of is elevating his status overnight to the level of the wealthy. And in the process, he doesn’t know that he is handing the rich all his money through all his purchases; do you get it?

Through my twenty something years so far on earth I have learnt that the rich spend less than the poor. I mean, if you really look at it, in the long run, the poor people spend more, or rather pay higher for goods than the rich man does. While the poor man buys in units, the rich man pays for in cartoons, which reduces the price.

There are a lot of times that you see poor people, after getting their pay cheques, head over to the most expensive restaurants in town, and dine, just for that one night; instead of channeling that money into a business or investment that would take him closer to being rich. He is not reasoning that a rich man would go to that restaurant because he can afford it and it would not take too much from his pocket; because he is worth that service he is paying for.

What I am trying to say is that while you are on your way to riches you should take it one step at a time, and try to fly before you learn to walk. We will all get there one day; but you can’t eat your cake and have it.

I wish you all the best.

ATTRACT WHAT EVER YOU WANT

2010-04-03T07:28:00.001-07:00

It has been said that man's wants are unlimited and the means to satisfy these numerous wants are limited, but i am not of that school of thought. I believe you can get everything you want under the earth. If you follow the steps i will be listin below, that i have tested out in numerous fields of life, then you would start getting almost anything you want.

The first thing you have to do is to know exactly what you want; you don't want to be sending mixed signals to your subconscous mind. So, first, know what you want and why you want it. This would have to be something you are realy passionate about; whether it is a particular girl; a one on one with your idol musician; a million dollars; or the job of your dreams. The main point to note here is that, you must concentrate on what you want, in your mind, even if it is as mondane as a black baby doll from china.

The second step is to write down exactly what you want on a piece of paper and you should also write the reason why you want that thing; so if is money, you can write something like this, "I (YOUR NAME) WILL PAY $2,000 FOR MY COLLEGE TUITION FEES ON 5TH OF AUGUST 2010". You should write it in bold letters on about as many pieces of paper as you possible, and scatter them all around your house; under your pillow; in your car; in your wallet; on your wall, and all the other places you know you go through everyday.

The third step is to read this write-up out loud two times daily; when you wake in the morning and when you are about to go to bed. Make sure you read it out loud so thatyou can hear your own voice. Do this consistently for days on end.

The fourth step has to do with an exercise that a lot of people find hard to do, but is the real secret to this formular, which has to do with writing out your affrimation on paper, contless times a day. I would advise you to write it up to 50 times a day, that would definitely give you speady results like what i get eveytime i use this formular. So what you do is write your affirmation in present tense; for example, "i (your name) have $2000". You get a small jotter, and write it 10 times at a time, then come back in a few hours and write it 10 times again. Make sure you spread out the time you do this throughout the day, and make sure you write it up to 50 times a day.

So let us go over it again:

STEP 1: KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.

STEP 2: WRITE, ON A PIECE OF PAPER, EXCATLY WHAT YOU WANT AND THE REASON WHY YOU WANT IT.

STEP 3: READ OUT THE AFFRIMATION OUT LOUD TWICE A DAY; MORNING AND NIGHT.

STEP 4: WRITE DOWN THE AFFIRMATION OUT ON A PIECE OF PAPER 50 TIMES A DAY.

I guarantee that if you follow these steps, you would get what ever you want from life.

WHY I WANT YOU TO BE RICH.

2010-04-03T05:28:00.000-07:00

Hi, my name is kayode olumide odusanya, and this is my first post on this blog, and i just want to let you know why i started this blog.

I lived my life for many years wondering why i was not always lucky with my finances: why does FRANK have a lovely life, and can afford all that i can't afford? I would always ask myself questions like that. It was not until i read the book by ROBERT KIYOSAKI, "rich dad, poor dad", that i changed the way i thought. There in, i learnt that your financial situation in life depends on how you see life, and how you think about yourself. You have to change the way you think before you can start attracting riches to yourself.

After reading that book, i read series of other books that helped build me up: Books like THINK AND GROW RICH by "napoleon hill".

Changing the way you think is the first step to take in your quest for getting riches. And the reason, the real reason i started this blog is because i want to tell you, whoever is reading this article, that you can get whatever amount of riches you desire if you just believe and follow some steps. You don't have to have been born with a silver soon, or have wealthy relations. Anybody can be rich, and that includes you.

I think i have to tell you a little about myself before i go on, so that you would know what i am realy talking about hear. Not to waste too much time on the matter, i would like to tell you that, before i changed the way i thought, i failed in everything; the businesses i tried to set up; relationships; academics, i failed in virtually every sphere of life, and i thought i was born to be that way. Thank God i changed the way i think.

It don't matter if you don't have a dollar to your name, or you have a pile of debt to settle; it don't even matter if no body in your family has had any financial success in the past, if you are reading this article today, and you decided to keep up with all the other articles i would be unleashing out here, then i guarantee that very soon, you would be laughing all the way to the bank.

Please meditate on what you have just read, and if possible, read it once over, or twice over.
