Today’s lecture is for anyone who wants to stop struggling and get ahead in life.
The first step to changing your financial situation is to face the truth. You cannot fix a problem you don’t understand.
If you find yourself in this position, it’s time to ask yourself some hard questions.
4 Reasons Why You Are Poor
1. You Are Not Curious About Money
Money topics don’t interest you. That is why when you find yourself among rich people, instead of asking them to teach you about money, you beg them for money.
Many of you are so entitled that even if you meet someone like Obi Cubana today, you will still beg him for money and spoil the relationship.
As for me, if I had the opportunity to meet Obi Cubana, I would never ask him for money. I would look for ways to serve him. I go offer a business plan or business ideas.
I would ask, “How can I be of help to him and his company?” because I know that by serving him, a reward will come.
It’s about what you can give, not what you can take. Until you remove entitlement from your life, you will never become rich.
The country is hard, but people are still buying cars, building houses, and getting married every weekend.
2. You Are Not Selling Anything
The only known way to make money is to work. Either you have a service you are selling, or you have a product you are selling. S
o if you don’t have a product or a service you are rendering, that is another reason why you are poor.
When you look around you, all the people who have money today are selling something.
Comedians like Sabinus sell jokes to you. Davido sells music to you. I am selling advice to you, and I get paid for it.
That is life. You must have something you are selling if you want to make money.
3. You Have a Poor Mindset
Your favorite quotes are, “Tomorrow go better,” “One day person go die,” and “Money is the root of evil.”
How will tomorrow get better if you don’t plan for it? Kiss Daniel said it himself: “Tomorrow is not promised, but I will keep the things that I need.” Just because tomorrow is not promised doesn’t mean you will not plan for it.
“Everything is vanity,” and “Rich people are not happy” are all quotes from a poor mindset.
With this type of thinking, you can never make money.
4. You Don't Take Advantage of Opportunities
You don’t understand that with the world of social media and the internet, people are making money.
People are packing block right now, while you are here doing your normal things. You can be making money from your hobbies.
People dance and get paid. People eat and get paid, like Prophet Rolex. Pocoli dances and he gets paid.
I talk, and I get paid for it. These days, I don’t even struggle for money. The same advice I give my friends for free, I say it here, and I get paid for it daily.
The same opportunities are available to everyone, but many of you would rather beg than have something you are doing.
Why are your age mates, who are not more talented or special than you, putting out content, building communities, and getting paid?
Take advantage of every opportunity around you—the internet, social media. And in the space of six months, you will see changes.
That’s all for today’s lecture, students. The truth is bitter, but it is necessary for your growth.
