Who took my MONEY?

Who took my MONEY?


Money HouseWhat is going on in the financial world is not new to everyone anymore. Everybody seems to be talking about the current credit crunch in the global financial market. But the question is “Is there any monster eating up money?”  Certainly not. If so, then the question of where did our money go should be asked.  The truth is money don’t have legs, so that puts off the possibility of it being mobile. The truth is any money lost by one person does not disappear into thin air. It’s still in the system.  It is a discovery to me that the money lost by one person is directly gained by another person. Despite the lofty amount of people currently loosing, I have been able to identify many other people whose wealth are greatly multiplying by the day. So, in the midst of the melt down, it is not how much is been lost that matters to me, it is how much you can make people loose by placing a high demand on their pockets.

“Hope this financial crisis is not affecting your business?” is the question people tend to ask me most. The truth is that my profits have trippled even in the midst of the crisis. God be praised.

I consider the meltdown to be a period of wealth transfer. If you don’t want a ‘broke’ moment in your finances, then you must think about what you can do to place a demand on the pockets of others. Take a look at this, you cannot do without spending some money in a day. There is no crime in this. It only implies that some other people are placing a demand on your pocket. Food is an inevitable commodity consumed daily. So, whether you like it or not, you are directly indebted to the producers of such commodity. The level of your daily expenses is a reflection of the level of demand being placed on you by others. Instead of whinning about the impact of the global financial crisis, take some ‘time out’ in thinking on what you can engage in to make others pay you. One of the reasons why many are broke today is because they don’t have any ‘real’ channel through which money flows into their pockets. I know of many people whose income has not stopped to skyrocket. It doesn’t just happen by magic; it’s because they have developed various means that make people pay them. Today, most of my friends and the people around me cannot live comfortably in a day if they have not paid me. It’s not how much you spend that matters, it is how much you earn by making others pay you that gives the evidence that you will be richer any time soon. Never settle for mediocrity in a time like this.

I took a short survey sometimes ago and I discovered that life will not be convenient if money is not spent. We all have to wash, brush our teeths, fuel our cars, build our house, put on clothes and others things that make life convenient for us. So, your broke moments are bound to be terminated immediately you engage in the production or distribution of any of the commodities that makes living go smooth for people.

I am currently making plans about the things I can engage in to make over 80% of the people living around me pay me. The plan is still on ground. Look around you, you will find some commodities and services people cannot do without. Engage in the distribution or production of such items. By so doing, you will find your money coming back straight into your pocket. I have noticed that many have settled for poverty due to the awareness of the meltdown.  The C.E.O. of one of the companies I consult for sat me down one afternoon and our focal point of discussion was what he can do to make many other people pay him. He is certainly not broke at the moment. In fact he is one of the people whose income is greatly multiplying. Despite his riches, he is still asking for other money making methods. We arrived at some products that afternoon. He immediately travelled out of the country in search of the machineries that will be used to produce the commodities. You see, that’s how rich people think. Don’t just go through this publication, take action immediately. It is my usual saying that there is no excuse for poverty. Any where you find yourself, ask the following ‘millionaire questions’:

  • What do People need here?
  • What are the problems that require solutions?
  • How can I provide the solutions to these problems?
  • How much will people be willing to pay for my solution?

I am confident that poverty will find it’s way out if you can ask and provide answers to the above questions. Remember, while some are loosing, some other people are seriously doubling their income. It’s a period of transfer of wealth; I believe it is wise to be part of it. Your money has not disappeared into thin air. It only went to the pocket of those that placed a demand on it. Place a demand on the pocket of others, and you will find your money running straight into your pocket. You can’t afford to settle for poverty. Turn the crisis in the financial world to a money generating machine.
