MONEY IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM BY DR. OLUBOGU IFEANYI
If we only prepare people for heaven and always tell them that God frowns at the rich, or, the rich will not make heaven, then we are not telling them what the Bible says about wealth and prosperity and that is why “MONEY IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM” is a book for everyone. Anything that is not in your mind can not be in your hands.
Money is simply a tool for accomplishing dreams and visions. When you are blessed with money, don't forget; it is God who gives you the power to “get wealth”. WEALTH is divine. God does not want you to be broke, God does not honour poverty. God doesn't want you to sit around and wait for luck or look for a lottery to win to make money, No, he wants you to take personal responsibility. If you spend time giving people fish, you are adding more problems to their lives and at the same time, making them poorer, but if you teach people how to fish - you are bringing them out of begging. Human life is reciprocal, not rapacious and the man, who regards all others as his legitimate prey, will soon find himself stranded in the desert of ruin, far away from prosperity.
This book is designed to help you solve your problem by learning how to fish for yourself, other than expecting the government to take care of you when you retire. Today our dollar is becoming weaker and our money is losing value every day, the national debt is increasing, the oil price is rising, our jobs are being exported to other countries, and our schools are giving us fish instead of teaching us how to fish. Martin Luther King Jr said, that the curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization when men eat each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves with the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty.
Money doesn't come through magic or a sort of miracle; true money comes by solving problems. So, money can simply mean the reward you get each time you solve a problem. If you want to be great, look for something to create. There is a secret that is common among the rich, which is, they all love what they do. When I was reading Steve jobs documentaries and what led him to the Apple invention, he said, those days many people were in Electronics companies with a huge amount of money, but the truth is that most of them are there because of the money they will make, not the love of it. Every game must have a winner. And the winners are the people that love the game most; you must love what you do, and that is when you can be able to win in it. When you love what you do, you give it all it takes, you give it the energy and time needed, and that is to tell you that, most people who are poor today, do not love the game enough and any game you don't love, you don't win.
Winners are those that love the game most. With the help of his friends who had a winning spirit 'APPLE' was invented, so if you want to win, make friends with those who want to win and those who are addicted to winning and addicted to learning. Invest more in your time; you need enough time to plan. Do not rush and invest with your money, the first investment is to invest in your time. The world is filled with people with great ideas, great systems, great products, yet they fail. Create more time to prepare yourself. Some of the inventions you are enjoying today took these people years to achieve.
Robert Kiyosaki, a multi-millionaire award-winning author, who in his early life wanted to become an investor but didn't have money to invest and for years he was going about with his ideas and proposals, looking for people to invest in it, he then later became successful and said, it took me so many years to come this far. Thomas Edison, even after creating the awesome electric bulb, people still didn't value the invention, for years, kept organizing programs, and doing adverts, just to show people how the bulb works, so they can as well see the need. Edison was so much sure of what he invented and didn't give up on it. Do not allow people's voices to be louder than yours when it comes to what you can do. You must be convincible, and understand the psychology of persuasion and selling. Keep coming up with different strategies to sell your ideas.
The only way to obtain, and keep wealth, is through the right mindset and practical steps. Reprogram your mind and understand that you are in control of your life and your wealth. Self-discipline is the key. Once you have mastered yourself, you can move on to mastering the other tenets of wealth creation; money, investments, real estate, and owning your business.
