Dear Mr. & Mrs.
(Episode 7)
2 MONEY RULES NO ONE EVER TOLD YOU.
I had this friend in school who studied with me in year one. We solved questions together and I expected we get the same GP, we were not seatmates and didn't copy each other.
When our first-semester result came out, he comfortably made a first class and I needed 0.01 to move from upper credit to first class.
I didn't understand it, I asked a lot of questions, so I asked him.
We lived in the school hostel and the male and female hostels were opposite each other. After class each day, we will eat and then meet up in the evening prayer for Catholics by 7 pm.
I studied Mechanical Engineering.
Then, we will go fetch water together and go for night class from there. By 8:30 pm, we were already in class studying.
We would study till midnight or even 2 am, then we would return to sleep. That was our daily routine.
He asked me if I slept immediately after I got back to my room, and I answered yes.
He said something striking - I don't sleep immediately, I take extra hours studying what we have tomorrow.
Because I knew you would ask me questions when you didn't understand something, I had to prepare and ensure I understood everything.
This guy did double work, no wonder he had better results than I did. This stuck with me, it's been 13 years.
Shout out to him
How does this concern you?
1. MONEY ANSWERS TO KNOWLEDGE MORE THAN HARD WORK
What is the difference between a truck pusher and a bank manager?
Hard work?
No! I bet you, both men work hard but they work hard differently.
The truck pusher works hard with his physical strength while the bank manager works hard mentally.
Same work, different areas, and different parts of the body exercised.
The one who works hard with his body will be a slave to the one who works hard with his mind.
It is a knowledge quotient game.
What is the wisdom content of what you do? If you do not have extra knowledge, you will get average results like everyone else.
When you make money, have a budget for learning. If you invest in learning, you will increase your capacity to earn more.
But you work month to month, year to year and you do not improve the quality of knowledge you have.
Did you know that big companies have a department called “Research and Development”
This department has heavy funding to learn new behaviors and desires to be able to innovate and keep the company afloat.
Intention isn’t enough. Knowledge gives you the capacity to do more.
2. MONEY WANTS YOU TO SPEND IT
The spirit of money wants to push you to spend it immediately after you make it. Money is now a currency, which means that it flows.
This has several implications, one of which is that money is used to hinge or backed by gold which gives it stability.
Money was printed according to the availability of gold but President Nixon of the United States of America removed US dollars from the gold standard in 1971, which permitted them to print as much money as they wanted.
This made money flow and hence you make it, it wants to flow out of your hands.
Immediately you get an alert, the next thing you are thinking is what to do with it.
Learn to leave it in your account and pretend you didn’t know it had arrived. It will keep pushing you and reminding you of things, debts, desires, and expenses you have to make.
Hold it for at least 72 days, don’t spend, and don’t do anything with it.
After 72 hours, it will calm down, everything screaming at you – “BUY ME BUY ME” must have settled, then you can have a clear head to properly apportion it.
PS: I created a Digital Marketing Course to help online vendors sell more, having worked with clients in the US, UK, and other African countries.
It sells for 30k, send me a DM to register.
I have helped businesses grow and expand their frontiers. It doesn't require you to know how to write, you will have access to it for months and you will have me guide you on this journey.
If you want to migrate to tech, digital marketing is a great way to start as it is not technical and can start paying you within a short period.
You have to learn how to sell online, or else you are likely to stay where you are.
I have a community for couples where we learn and help each other, send me a DM to join.
I love you
