If you struggle to pay bills, and have to work several hours to keep up, or you have to sacrifice a lot to be able to afford the basics, pay attention to what you are about to read. It has the potential to change your life if you let it.

First of all, you need to know you're not alone. Thousands of other people like you struggle everyday to meet up with one bill or the other, but you know what? There are also thousands who earn enough to take care of their bills and even help others.

What is the difference between you who is struggling and the person who is not?

An influential man in the sales and marketing space in Nigeria once said, the difference between you and someone who is getting the results you want is one of three things:
1. They know something you don't
2. They are doing something you're not
3. They are doing more of something than you.

How then do you figure out what you should know to start living a little and experience ease in your finances?

Find out the people who are getting the results you want and do what they're doing i.e, model them.

One thing I have found to be common among successful people is that they know how to sell.

Gary Halbert once said, "all money is made by someone selling something to someone else"

So the first step you should take to get a bit closer to your goal is to learn how to sell. Master it. Excel at it.

There are many things you can do if you know how to sell, but the most important of them is that you'd be able to raise money whenever you need it. You'd literally become a live breathing cash machine, someone with the ability to produce money on the spot, anywhere, anytime.

The truth is you wouldn't start getting this mind blowing result in the beginning, but slowly, and gradually, your growth will become so profound, that you will begin to get everything you've ever wanted in the fastest way possible.

Let me end this by telling you about the Pareto principle.

It states that 20% of effort is responsible for 80% of the result you get. Here's what it means, in anything you do, you should focus on the 20% of activities that actually matter and are responsible for 80% of the results you'd get. This principle is exponential, so focusing on 4% of the activities that matter can give you 64% of the results you desire.

What I mean is, instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media everyday, focus on carrying out activities that will help you get most of your results. Instead of searching the internet for "how to make money online", focus on learning how to sell, and how to get the right products to sell to the right audience.

There's a lot of money to be made on the internet, and I mean, a lot.

You just have to know where to look, and what to do.
