Many people want to be financially successful, but only a few ever achieve it. Why? It is not because they are not intelligent. It is not because they are not hardworking. It is because they do not understand the factors that create financial success.
Financial success is not luck. Financial success is not magic. Financial success is a process. If you follow the process, you will get the result.
If you want to elevate your financial life from where you are to where you want to be, there are only three key factors you need. These three factors are simple, but they are powerful. If you master them, no door will remain closed to you.
Today, I want to share with you the three key factors for financial success and how you can use them to move from poverty to great riches.
FACTOR 1: DESIRE - THE MOTHER OF ALL ACCOMPLISHMENT
Everything on earth starts with desire. Nothing great was ever achieved without a strong desire.
Desire is not just wishing. Wishing is weak. Desire is a burning fire inside you. Desire is the mother of a force in any accomplishment on earth.
If you want financial success, you have to develop a strong, definite, and burning desire for success and freedom.
Many people say they want to be rich, but they don't have desire. They have wishful thinking. What is the difference?
Wishing says "I would like to be rich one day." Desire says "I MUST be rich, no matter what it takes."
When you have a burning desire, you will wake up early to work. You will read books when others are watching movies. You will save money when others are spending. You will start a small business when others are waiting for a government job.
How do you develop a desire for financial success?
1. Define what financial freedom means to you. Is it having N10 million in your account? Is it owning your own house? Is it never borrowing again? Write it down.
2. Make your desire visible. Put your financial goal on your wall, on your phone screen, in your diary. Look at it every day.
3. Feed your desire daily. Listen to motivational speakers, read stories of successful people, follow pages like Investment4Business. Desire grows when you feed it.
Without desire, you will quit at the first challenge. With desire, you will persist until you win.
FACTOR 2: PREPARATION - GETTING READY FOR WEALTH
Many people want financial success, but they are not prepared for it.
Preparation simply means something done to get ready. If you want financial success, you must be prepared for it.
You cannot pray for financial success and do nothing. You cannot desire wealth and sit idle.
Once you have the strong and definite desire to create wealth, the next thing to do to elevate your financial success is to get ready.
What does preparation mean in money matters?
a) Preparation means education. Financial success requires financial knowledge. You must learn the laws of money. You must understand the difference between asset and liability. You must understand how investment works.
Good books you read regularly and good people you spend time with determine how far you can get out of poverty. If you don't prepare your mind, your pocket will remain empty.
b) Preparation means planning. The rich plan their money. The poor spend their money without planning. Before you earn this month, do you have a plan? How much will you save? How much will you invest? How much will you use for business? Without a plan, your salary will disappear in 7 days.
c) Preparation means building capacity. Do you have a skill that can bring you money? Can you sell? Can you write? Can you teach? Can you do business online? Great riches can be obtained by the level of knowledge you acquire and the leverage you use. Your knowledge is your leverage. Start learning a high-income skill today.
Preparation is the bridge between desire and success. Desire says "I want it." Preparation says "I am ready for it." Many opportunities have passed many people because they were not prepared. Don't let that be you.
FACTOR 3: DISCIPLINE - THE VIRTUE THAT HOLDS EVERYTHING
This is the most important factor. Many people have desires. Many people have prepared. But they fail because they lack discipline.
Discipline is another virtue that can help you to attain financial success. If you want financial success, you must master financial discipline.
Discipline is the ability to control your desires and emotions to achieve what you want.
You desire financial success, you have prepared for it, but can you say NO to that expensive shoe? Can you say NO to that party that will cost you your savings? Can you say NO to lending your business capital to a friend who will not return it?
Poverty can be taken out of your life by changing the way you think and how you think. But discipline is what will keep poverty out permanently.
Financial discipline means:
1. You control your spending. You buy only what you need, not what you want to impress people.
2. You stick to your investment plan. Even when the market is hard, you continue saving and investing.
3. You delay gratification. You are willing to live simple today so you can live great tomorrow.
Without discipline, you will make money and lose it. With discipline, even small amounts of money will grow to become great wealth.
POVERTY AND GREAT RICHES: HOW TO MOVE FROM ONE TO THE OTHER
Now that you know the three factors, let me show you clearly how poverty ends and how great riches begin.
How to End Poverty:
1. Poverty can be taken out of your life by changing the way you think and how you think.
Your mindset is your first wealth. If you think poor, you will live poor. If you think rich, you will act rich and become rich.
2. Poverty can be ended by the books you read and by the people you build a network with.
Show me your five closest friends and I will show you your financial future. If you spend time with poor thinkers, you will remain poor. If you spend time with business-minded people, ideas will come to you.
3. Good books you read regularly and good people you spend time with determine how far you can get out of poverty.
Reading one good financial book can change your life forever. One good connection can give you a business idea that will feed you for life.
How to Obtain Great Riches:
4. Great riches can be obtained by the level of knowledge you acquire and the leverage you use.
The more you know, the more you earn. Knowledge is the key that opens every closed door. Don't weep over what you don't have, weep over what you don't know. And leverage means using other people's money, other people's time, and other people's skills to grow.
5. Great riches can be obtained by the type of investments you invest in and by the kind of business you start.
Not all investments are equal. Not all businesses will make you rich. You must choose wisely.
6. Choosing the right investment vehicle and the right kind of business, whether online or offline, determines how far you can get rich.
Some people are making millions online with small capital. Some are making it offline with shops and services. The vehicle you choose matters. Don't just follow the crowd. Study and choose what fits your skill and capital.
7. A wrong choice of investments and business opportunities will cost you your capital investment.
This is why preparation and discipline are important. Don't rush into any investment because someone promised you double your money in 7 days. That is how people lose their capital. Investigate before you invest.
