If your boss is paying you NGN 200,000 every month and you are saving all that money without touching a kobo, you would need to work for 50 months to save 10 Million Naira.
But if you convinced an organization like The UN to give you a printing job for only 5,000 Umbrellas and you make NGN 500 from each Umbrella; that would be a profit of 5,000 x 500 = NGN 2,500,000 in a single day.
It gets crazy if you want to become a Billionaire; say your boss pays you NGN 250,000 per month and you are saving all that money without touching a single kobo.
This means that in a year you would only have a savings of 3 Million Naira.
So that means you would need to work for 333.33 years to save 1 Billion Naira.
Let me ask you this question…
How old are you today?
How many years would you live on earth?
However, there are about 200 million people in Nigeria. If you supply salt to 45 million Nigerians only, once per month making only NGN 10 per packet, in one month alone, you will be making NGN 450 Million Naira. it would only take you 4 months to be a billionaire.
The lesson learned here is that if you want to be rich you should stop dealing with Bosses. If you deal with Bosses you will never be rich.
If you want to be rich start dealing with Clients (Prospects, Team mates, etc) not Bosses, get up and do your own business.
