Stop searching for Money!

With the current economic turmoil afflicting nations and families, particularly in a country like Nigeria, it has become quite common to hear people constantly say, “I’m looking for money.”

While this phrase is frequently used by many, I would like to clarify something. Money is meant to be a servant to your ideas, inventions, and the solutions you provide to problems. Money does not simply come to you because you desire it or because you have numerous financial obligations; rather, it gravitates towards the value and solutions you create.

If you want more money, merely voicing it out will not make it happen. You must discover and apply the fundamental principles of financial growth.

The qualifications, skills, and abilities that some individuals possess may not be sufficient to attract the level of financial resources required to address their pressing issues. While prayer is good and essential, it is important to understand that prayer alone will not bring financial increase, nor will hard work by itself. You must combine both, as divine grace and guidance are necessary to receive wealth-generating ideas and build profitable enterprises. Prayer and smart work go hand in hand, as the scriptures clearly state that God will bless the works of our hands and that whatever we find to do, we should do it wholeheartedly. This is how financial rewards come.

If you have been stuck in a cycle of financial insufficiency, you may need to consider some or all of the following steps:

Reassess your current qualifications and skills. How much value do you currently offer? If your educational qualifications have become outdated due to technological advancements and industry evolution, you should consider taking new courses that align with your core competencies, passion, and natural inclinations.

Acquire new knowledge and skills. If your existing skills are now obsolete, you may need to learn something entirely new. One characteristic of greatness is the ability to adapt and make necessary adjustments along your journey. Be willing to undertake legitimate endeavours that may not be immediately enjoyable but are crucial for your financial growth and ultimate success.

Evaluate your social network and connections. What is the calibre of people you associate with? Remember, you are likely to become similar to the three individuals with whom you spend the most time. Also, note that you cannot simply walk into a billionaire’s circle if you have nothing of value to contribute. High-value circles are exclusive. You may not yet have a billion naira or pounds in your bank account, but if you have developed sought-after skills, abilities, and character traits that billionaires appreciate and require, you will find your way into such circles. Have you ever wondered how individuals in seemingly modest professions, such as electricians, mechanics, plumbers, barbers, and beauticians, have found their way into the billionaire network? The answer is simple: they excel in their fields. A billionaire would not hesitate to keep a top-notch mechanic or barber on speed dial!

Until we meet again on this platform, embrace daily self-development so that you can evolve into the version of yourself that attracts money, rather than the one that is constantly searching for it.

Much love
