Image
  Here is the concluding series and  Grande  finale on the mindset of the wealthy. To be wealthy, there is the need for a mind reset about money, risks, investments, time and jobs. Take time to reassess your perspective about these paramount issues, and set a course of action to produce your desired results. Remember, you are a product of what you think and believe. Never allow yourself be deterred by obstacles on your journey to being wealthy, rather see the obstacles as wind upon which you soar. Scot Anderson, in his book “think like a billionaire, become a billionaire” , pp 129-131, identified three categories of people. 1. The Quitter ; who readily gives up. 2. The Settler ; who easily gives in and settles in her comfort zone. 3. The Achiever ; who is the go-getter. Which would you rather be? Wealth is always attracted to value, to increase in wealth, there must be a corresponding increase in your problem solving abilities. A technique on problem solving cull...

The mindset of the wealthy continued.... Part 2

Part Two: A major skill that everyone that desires to be wealthy must acquire is SELF CONTROL, this helps to exercise caution, and practice delayed gratification. Note, an important fuel for self control is VISION, "without vision, people perish". If you have a vision to pay rent, pay back a loan or pay your kids' tuition,  you will definitely find a way to save for it.  This vision is what drives you and keeps you committed, thus you cannot afford to indulge in certain excesses that you would want to.   Hence the vision drives you to action. All you need do is start with "baby steps", it could be a small commitment of buying certain amount of shares per week or per month, steady investment of at least 10% of your income in another business on a monthly basis and so on. That said, never underestimate the power of giving, no mater how small. Food for thought : How big is your vision? Is your vision placing a limit on God's capability? Remember, in 2 Kings cha...

Do you perceive being wealthy as evil or ungodly? On Investments , what are the most important things to you? What are your valuable assets? What is your worth? Let’s say we are to place a value on you and all you own today, what will it amount to? That is the real value of your investments.   On Jobs , what’s your take?
