YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE IF YOU ARE READY TO PAY THE EASY PRICE
Just for a few minutes, I will like you to imagine yourself enjoying the good things of life, those things money can buy. Picture yourself driving an exotic sport utility van, from your well-furnished and colorful office, where you do your business, to your breathtaking house in a wonderful environment. Picture that you can easily get your wife a new car; you can get your kids any present without having to think about where the money will come from. Picture yourself saying “yes, I have arrived. Am now financially successful”.
You see, this picture we’ve created, is what we are all praying to get. We all love and need the good things of life. But see what I have discovered; not all of us are ready to do what needs to be done to attract and enjoy these good things of life. What do I mean by that? You see, to get something, there is always a price to pay. The experience am about to share with you, will make you understand, 100%.
It is the experience of Emmanuel Ijeh. He was not as intelligent and as smart as you are right now, but he became financially successful, because he followed the track of success. He used to work as a laborer in building construction site, even up till 2010. At a point, construction jobs were no longer coming, so he decided to meet with one of his church member who is into apple selling business. And from this man, Emmanuel got all of his questions answered. So he started apple business too in his own area. He started with 5 cartons of apple, selling to end users. After some weeks, he increased the number of cartons to 10 –that is the track of success that I mentioned earlier. Knowing what to do, how to do it and doing it exactly so.
Am sure you will be surprise to here that the number of cartons kept increasing from 5 to 10 to 25 and to 200 in less than 5months. Yes because, Emmanuel understood the business 100%. So one day, he had a big problem. The vehicle that was conveying his 200 cartons of apple had an accident. 90% of the apple was damaged. What was his reaction to that? Did he stop the business? Listen to Emmanuel “I did not stop, I continued even though I had no money to buy up to 200 cartons. I started again with 50 cartons and continue to grow”.
You see, at this point, Emmanuel was a pro in this business. In the month of March 2015, he started importing apple in containers into Nigeria. From a laborer, working in building construction site, to an importer of apple. He is today, enjoying the good things of life. His building is one of the best. He has 2 wonderful sport utility vans and a beautiful family at the age of 37.
From this experience, were you able to take note of the price Emmanuel had to pay to attract and enjoy the good things of life?
