What Investment Are You Toiling For
Ishola Ayodele (ANIPR)
I have always maintain that, "A man that is not dying for something is actually living for nothing".
It was Robert Kiyosaki who said, "business is like a wheelbarrow, nothing happens until you push". The same can be said for success it doesn't happen until you put in purposeful and creative effort.
Unfortunately today Nigerian youths are looking for fast money. This is a misplace of priority and ignorance.
Setting Money as your goal will only make you a slave to money. Money is a medium of exchange what you need to do is to create wealth.
Wealth is something of value that you posses that others are willing and ready to pay for. When you invest heavily (time, effort and money) to create wealth, money comes looking for you even while you are sleep.
It is also selfish of you to think that people must pay you for your passion. Passion in itself will not translate to wealth unless you are able to tailor your passion towards creating valuable products/service that solve a critical problem in the market place.
At the Market Square the buyers are the judge. And a very selfish one for that matter who thinks only of how your solution solves his problem and not how passionate you care about your products/service or how hard you work to create the product/service.
To learn more about wealth creation read The human being syndrome; The principle of taking purposeful action.
In his great book, "The Law of Success". Napoleon Hill wrote
"At the table of success there is no bargaining, a price must be paid fast and energetically"
Usain Bolt ran for less than 115 secs in total in his 3 Olympics careers and made 119 million dollars!!!
That's more than $1M for each second he ran! And he hasn't run more than 2 mins on the track.
But for those 2 mins, he trained for over 25 years!!!
That's what I call investment!
Floyd Mayweather earned over $220million for his fight against Manny Pacquiao.
What this implies is that for every minute in the ring Mayweather gets close to $7,000,000.
His training is an intense 40 round training Routine.
boxingnewsandviews called "The Inhuman training'.
Dailymail described it as "brutal training regimen"
But that's what I call investment!
Mark Zuckerberg as at August 2016 is worth $53.7billion making him the 5th richest man on earth.
Zuckerberg dropped out of college to devote himself to Facebook full time, moving the company to Palo Alto, California.
That's what I call investment!!
A great thinker of antiquity Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said and I quote,
"The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night"
So, my question is, what investment are you toiling for presently?
