How to Maximize Your Salary for Wealth Creation


Have you heard the notion that you cannot be rich by earning monthly salary as an employee? [I'm sure you have].


Is that notion true or false?


Well, for me, the answer is *"It is up to you!"*


Let me tell you what that statement really means: It means that if you focus on earning *ONLY* salary (with/without saving regularly) you cannot be rich in your lifetime.


Let's go deeper! If you earn 100K and decide to save 10% (10K) every month, it will take you 1year (12 months) to save up N120,000...


...it will take you 8 years and 4 months (100 months) to save up N1 Million.

There is a high tendency that you will not be consistent with the savings plan. So...


*🛑Question:*

*✅When will you save up money enough to buy your first or next car?*

*✅How long will it take you to save up and build a house?*


Do you now understand that statement – "You cannot be rich by earning monthly salary as an employee" ?


It's the fact! The statistics reveal it all.


*[If you like argue that there are people earning N1 Million salary and above. Question: Are you? 🙄]*


My focus is not them; it's you. Yes, you!!!


So, what is the remedy?


You can only be rich as a salary earner when you save a portion of your earnings monthly and channel it into investments (Passive Income).


Salary has been paid or will soon be paid (if you've not been paid already). So, what should you do with your salary if you ask me?


1️⃣Buy stocks/shares from any viable companies in Nigeria and let it grow through capital gains.

50% profit is possible in a year. My Wema Bank shares earned me more than 100% profit last year.


2️⃣Invest in Real Estate property through companies that operate a pool of funds.

You can get some of those companies through Piggyvest.


3️⃣Buy Federal Government bonds and treasury bills.

You can work with a stockbroker to help you buy some.


4️⃣Start paying a regular deposit for land (1K per day or 7K per week).

Look for a trustworthy and reliable real estate company in your city and take a plan with them.


5️⃣Invest in mutual funds. Etc.

Again, your stockbroker can help you out with this.


I may not be qualified to tell you what to do with your money, but the things I've shared with you are the things I invest in and I've been doing this for more than half a decade now.


I hope that you'll change the trajectory of your financial life in this new month.

How can I say that? Check it out

Here are 10 daily habits that can significantly improve your business outcomes:

*1. Prioritize and Plan:* Start each day by outlining your top priorities. A clear plan helps you focus your efforts and avoid distractions.

*2. Continuous Learning:* Dedicate time daily to learning something new about your industry, business strategies, or personal development.

*3. Effective Communication:* Maintain open and honest communication with your team, clients, and partners. Effective communication fosters trust and collaboration.

*4. Network Actively:* Build relationships with other professionals in your industry. Networking can lead to new opportunities, partnerships, and insights.

*9. Celebrate Successes:* Acknowledge and reward your achievements, no matter how small. Positive reinforcement can boost morale and motivation.

*10. Seek Feedback:* Regularly solicit feedback from your team, clients, and partners. Constructive criticism can help you identify areas for improvement and make better decisions.

No matter what you say or do, some will love you and some will hate you, mostly for no specific reason.

Others will give you a benefit of the doubt until you prove them right or wrong.

Rest assured, still, an overwhelming majority of humans on earth don't know you and cannot possibly care about you or what you do.

Don't limit yourself to fit into what you think everyone thinks about you.

Don't limit yourself for acceptance.

That which you believe is right, say it and do it. Damn the consequences.

That which you legitimately desire, pursue it. Damn the consequences.

It is worrisome how some keep quiet or lay low for the fear of "who will marry me".

Man, woman, go after your dreams!

You'll find your woman or man while at it. Don't shrink yourself.

And, even if you don't, you'll be more fulfilled than one who chose a low life only to end up single / married and depressed.

Very Correct.

See as you GROW, not all your friends will remain your friends..

Some will just have to go, it's fine.

you might need to cut some off if they show no sign of improvement or desire not to grow as well..

You need to surround yourself with Quality People.

Atimes where Quality is Needed in a Particular Area, Quantity is Limited.

It's difficult to accept but then it's True.

That's why you must constantly UPDATE yourself so you don't get left out.

Not just Financially ooo but other areas as well.

TRAIN EVERYTHING my Bro.

When you start making money, don’t hold it too tightly.

Learn how to release money. Send it on errands.

Money is a tool. You must learn how to use it as a tool.

Run paid ads, learn a new skill, Buy books , courses, resources that will help you make more money..

I was on a zoom call with Abraham Ofure Orukpe sometime ago and he said something that I found helpful

He said, "there are only two ways you can get access to somebody you admire and want to be like"

✅You can serve your way in

Or

✅You can pay your way in.

If you choose the second option, you can do that by paying for their offer or courses

But the problem is, you might be seen as just a random person who paid for his/her offer

But when you serve your way in, you leave a remarkable memory in their mind

How can you serve your way in?

Look for a way to offer help no matter how little

Find a way to add value to their life and they'll not forget you in a hurry.

Hope this helps.

Some underrated social skills you may have to start practicing if you aren't already.

1. Listen attentively while conversing with people.

Listening is the most difficult part of communication, yet the most powerful way to engage in a meaningful conversation.

Listening is so vital and I wonder how most people underestimate it.

Here my question:

How do you plan saying something reasonable in a conversation when you aren't even listening to what the other person is saying?.

No wonder people easily get fed up when conversing with you.

______

2. Strive to remember peoples' names.

This is one deeply effective social skill that can win you a special place in peoples' hearts, even though it could be dead difficult if you aren't someone with a naturally sharp memory.

If you're such person, you can try these few tips below.

• when people tells you their name, try using it severally inside the conversation you'd have with them.

• if the name is complicated or very difficult to pronounce, ask them for the shorter version of it, or create a short version of it by yourself.

• repeat the name severally after they tell you.

• find something you're familiar with, that relates to the name, so that when you remember that thing, you'd remember the name.

Etc.

_______

3. Help, or give to people first.

I've said this countlessly, and I'll keep saying it. The greatest networking hac*k is your willingness to help or give to people first.

It's as simple as that.

If you aren't willing to help or give something first, you're just joking in the name of networking with people.

Whenever you meet someone for the first time, your default should be:

"In what way can I help or give to this person?"...

This one mindset shift will change your life.

______

4. Pretend everyone was sent to teach you something.

I first saw the above quote from Ben Meer, a LinkedIn influencer, and I loved it instantly.

Having this mindset alone would sharpen, shapen, and mold you.

With this mindset, you won't struggle with your ego when it comes to learning from others, whether they're older, younger or of your age.

You'd be steps ahead of countless people too when it comes to knowledge.

______

I hope this helps someone.

To your success!

A disabled person is doing something, but able-bodied people have made begging their job.

Listen. There's no security at all with the "job" of begging. You MUST push yourself to make money every day. If you say you have nothing to do, especially if you have a smartphone, then you shouldn't blame anyone or anything for your situation. It is YOUR fault. Stop looking for sympathy when you have what it takes to change your life. Enough is enough.
