Not everything should make fp.

The op is very wrong. This article is very misleading and capable of destroying people's capacity to reach their potentials.

1. Mentoring and coaching remain 2- one, if you like- of the cardinal points of financial success. Like a wise man said, you stand on the shoulders of those who have gone ahead of you so you can see far.

2. If for instance, I want admission to the university or visa to a certain country, am I not better off being advised by someone who's 'been there done that'? Advising that since they are not in 'your field studying the course you wanted or in the country you desire disqualifies them from holding supportive opinion is total 'bull-come'.

3. You discourage people from heeding the advices of courage and fortune because they may be extreme. Are you kidding? Mediocrity begats self. So do courage and excellence. I would rather listen to stories that challenge my courage, resilience and risk appetite than of loathsome spineless retirement that wants to keep me where I have no business being.

4. You are what you eat. The world is a mind game. What feeds your mind determines what you become.

5. The world over, people pay successful people heavily to listen to their counsel and have them as consultants. You can only go as far, Uncle.

6. The world is in dire need of successful mentors. You will be amazed at how one can from sharing his experience alone, save you from a lifetime of woe and poverty. Please op- and the mod that published this- don't decimate the number of potential multimillionaires in here with this jaundiced opinion.

Do not take money advice from the poor. Evaluate whatever advice you get from the rich and see how you can modify it to current trends and you'll almost certainly get there. God bless our hustle.

News101:
Very misleading article indeed. Everybody wants to be a writer and an adviser once they have data. Look at your grammar & typographical errors.

This article should not have made front page in the first place. Moderators please remove this article from front page. There are better articles on Nairaland than this crap.

Hey bro sorry to sound this way but what you wrote here is rubbish.

1. If you like have 1000 mentors, if you are not ready to be successful you can never change

2. Most poor people the only enemy they have is themselves. No matter what you show them, they can never see the good in what you say. Some might go around mocking you for the advice you give them because they fail to see the big picture

3. Poverty is a mentality. If you dot unlearn that mentality, and relearn rich man mentality, you can never be rich. O matter how much you are given, you will not see that money tomorrow

4. Poor people, they try once and gas out immediately to quick to throw in the towel once things don't go their way

5. You see poor people, they are too proud to take a spanking. They think everything is plug and play. Too quick to blame everyone they find I their way esp this article you wrote this is why I 'come vex' and typed this reply.
Some advice you may not understand them till after 2 yrs or 5yrs.

I have trained a lot of people and I am qualified to tell you my experience I got from these individuals
Some rich people they Can't disclose what they spent close to 15 yrs learning to poor people because they can see thru poor people and see that you are one proud mother fcker, you are not patient to learn, too excited to make conclusions and you talk too much they give you beer and make. You go to sleep

My bro if you want to be rich one word of advice for you (that's if you will take it) be humble, be patient and keep your mouth shut. At time they act like jerks to test your patience and loyalty. Don't talk more than your mentor give him gifts to appreciate him. Its then he will open to you

My mentors Robert T. Kiyosaki, Peter Obi, Adaobi Ariguzo, Nonso Olemeforo, Donald J. Trump, mother theresa

Bros I repeat. This post is rubbish....so where should I get advice from? hope you read my post very well before you quoted me?

Nah, Skype only hun.

I read both ur posts but d introduction 2 ur post got my attention. If u say u are trainer& a mentor, how do u train people with d kind of language u use? If someone says something u don't agree with, does that make it "rubbish"? U don't have 2 agree with everyone's viewpoint but u don't have 2b disrespectful about it either. If u say u deal with human beings, then by now u should understand that life isn't black& white. Its in shades of different colours. Most times, our orientation, background & life's experiences shape our perception of life. So d author of d post wrote what he wrote based on his own experience. If u didn't agree with him, there are a million & one ways of making that known without being disrespectful. Am sure u have trained people on leadership. Leadership is also about understanding people. If u don't understand them, u can't change them. U will only end up judging them&getting frustrated cos they don't c things ur way.

This is an excerpt from d article. Pls go thru it.:


"Thus, because a man is rich doesn’t really qualify him to be the appropriate person to advice you. Pretty much, it’s not bad for a rich man to advice you.

But before you apply his principles, you have to make sure he’s richly a guru in that specific area. Importantly also, this rich must have the major latest experience about your business, ideas or aims.

Ensure to dig out what problems and how they faced these major problems they faced before attaining that status, because they might have forgotten most. Money is mad. It makes you forget many challenges in your old pasts.

It’s not until a rich man gives you an advice before you believe them and start making money right away. Few times, a guru who isn’t even wealthy and you know is seasoned in your area, is best than a billionaire who would encourage you that your stones can still be cooked to soft."

I clearly don't c what he said that is out of place. Where is d "rubbish" in d write up? If for instance I want 2go into farming and I go to Jim ovia or tony elumelu cos they are rich, what type of advice will they give regards farming? If I go 2a retired civil servant who worked as a farm extension officer or an agric expert who isnt rich, his advice will b more useful as regards farming than what I will get from Jim Ovia or Tony.

D author was being realistic at d same time balanced. What he wrote isn't straight from books but based on day to day human interaction. Unfortunately, u weren't able to counter anything he said in ur post. Ur post was basically about d mentality of d poor.


From where do u get advice? D author didn't say u shouldn't get advice from d rich but that u should b circumspect about it. Not everything they say might b useful. Some folks who aren't rich might have more useful advice 4u in particular areas than d so called rich folks. Nothing is cast in stone

Bro if you read my reasons for calling this rubbish you will know why. How can you come here with all your ignorance and post such trash. So who are you supposed to get advice from? Some People like this op think that to get rich is plug and play therefore after trying to seek Advice from rich people probably and did not succeed came here to advice others not to do so. What kind of stupid post is that? Hey it is not a must to be rich o so if you are not happy with what I said just continue what you were doing. Success or being wealthy is not for everyone.
