If you ask me, what are my dreams 100 times? I will answer you 100 times that I love investment, I love business. I realized working in an organization either private or public cannot make one to be wealthy.
Working in a company or government parastatal can make you have money to satisfy yourself, family and give to others; but, can't make one wealthy.
One condition that makes you wealthy is when you embezzle funds just like the way politicians are doing here.
Let me ask you Questions, How many wealthy employees have you seen or read in articles? How many employees have you seen their names in Forbes?
Last week I was checking the names of wealthiest men and women on the internet. I did not come across the name of an employee; I did not see the name of a person who is wealthy by working in a company.
All the names I read from 1-250, they are business tycoons. They have business empires and they are emperors in those empires.
Take a look at Elon Musk, I read that he was one of the major investors in Tesla. Elon wasn't a founder of the Tesla company. He became CEO due to his investment in Tesla.
Today, Elon Musk is a CEO of SpaceX, Tesla and X(formally known as Twitter). I read that Elon has more than three companies but I'm not sure how true it is.
As at the age of 12, Elon was an entrepreneur, he was going with his brother to sell chocolate Easter eggs.
Therefore, he developed entrepreneur skills at age 12, and graduated to an investor; and from an investor to CEO of companies.
What I learned from his lifestyle is to start my own business in small and having a vision of becoming the best in the world. Though business may not look great at the beginning, but don't never give up on expanding it.
Elon Musk is a public figure, one of the richest men on the planet by following his brother to sell chocolate eggs.
If you ask me how many presidents I know in the world? I don't think I can mention 10 presidents right now but I read about Elon Musk and watched him speaking in an interview. What took him to that position are entrepreneurship skills, business ideas and his styles of investments.
This made me think of the best investment that will make me business Emperor. I thought about it everyday, I thought about how to start, I thought of how to get the fund.
The business is Real Estate, I realized that real estate is the one of the hottest investment in my area.
I was imagining how to build an estate that could contain more than more than 2,000 tenants. I mean super smart homes!
I can imagine building Smart houses with 24 hours power supply. I'm 100% sure that within a month, no apartment would be left empty.
I discovered that people in my environment love to live in a well conducive environment with 24 hours power supply. Some people will not care about the price of the apartment once there is water and power supply every time.
I love to build an empire; and be an emperor in the empire.
I believe that with this idea, I will begin to explore in many ways like Elon. He is into many businesses today from that humble beginning. Who knows if he continues like this, the world will record the first trillionaire.
Where I get it wrong
6 years ago, a friend of mine registered me to one of the real estate companies in my area. The first time I attended the program, I was very happy. I was eager to work because if I sell a land, it could pay 3 months of monthly salary in my formal office. But if the area I sell the land is a developed areas, it could pay 6 months of my monthly salary.
After 3 months without a client, I gave up. Some of my friends did not give up for a year without a client.
It doesn't disturb me from going work but I was just tired because there was no client.
Today, some of the people that did not have up are now big boys. Though, they are not wealthy as I imagined but they have investments. Some of the more than 10 buildings with tenants.
My advice
Never give up on your goals. Your goals may seem impossible to achieve but never give up.
Remember that nobody start from building his/her wealth from up. One cannot start building wealth from up, everyone successful business man or investor started from small with consistency and perceiverance.
There is no business man that have not encountered challenges in his business or investment, only what will keep you going without given up is your vision.
The moment you give up on your vision, the future you create for yourself becomes blurry.
What next?
It is never late to start, there where people that are Rich at age 60. I'm still 30, I can start again.
This is for everyone, it is never too late to start, whether you are above 60 or below 60 years of age. Don't back up when it seems tough and impossible. I have learned my lesson!
I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness. Success comes to the people who are desperately and consciously searching for it. When it seems unsuccessful or you smell failure around you, never discourage yourself from being successful.
