Many are doing these but they are not even aware:

Here are 5 mistakes you might probably be making now that would keep you broke for life if you don't stop.

1. Disgusting the rich:

You cannot become what you disgust. If you accidentally get rich with this mindset; chances are you will in no time lose everything and be broke again.

I'm sure you don't want to remain broke. Then start liking the rich.

2. Envying those making it big.

Don't be envious of people growing. Rather bless their achievements and pray God bless you with yours too. If you do this; you will soon hit your jackpot.

3. Thinking life happens to you.

This is a grave mistake that most people make. They just sit in a corner thinking that what shall be shall be. Sure what shall be shall be; but you have to put some things in place.

It is written that heaven helps those who help themselves. So, take charge of your life.

4. You can't take risk because you are afraid to lose.

I will have to explain this for you to get

You are like, what if I lose. Ok, what if you win!! Just do it.

This thought belongs to the poor. The rich take risk to win. They do not take risk not to lose.

Have you seen a club that wins a match through all round defending without an attempt to attack? I've not seen one. The best they can get is a draw. Which is a waste of time when it comes to risk taking. How can I invest 10k and get 10k back with no ROI after like a month or 3 months.

So; rather than defend your money; aim for the win.

5. You want to be rich because you want to prove people wrong. This is a non-supportive why to becoming rich.

The effect of this is that you won't find happiness in being rich. Non-supportive why also include fear and anger. You will never find happiness in becoming rich if your why is dependent on fear, anger or show-off.

You might even lose all the money to gain happiness. Of which; been broke will cause more sadness.

So; take note of these 5 things. Are you doing any? If yes; let me know in the comment section and I will give you the best way to tackle it.

The goal is to be great together.

Got value? Let me know

You maybe right oh, but wait oh if everyone becomes rich who will roof your intending mansion, who will empty your soakaway pit when is filled up, who will be driving you in your LS 460L and S Class, who will be pumping your tires and towing your car when it gets bad, who will be selling fufu or johnwhite, who will be going to the farm to plant and uproot cassava, etc.
Do your own and thank God if you become successful. Both Bible and Koran did not promise us that there will not be poor people in the world.
IF you are rich, you are rich because of the poor people around you so help them. It is not by your power nor might but by God's grace.

Re: 5 Mistakes That Can Keep You Broke For Life by mmsen: 9:51am On Jan 23, 2021
Another useless nairaland thread. Many people have become rich to prove others wrong and abuse their power, look at Nigerian politics.

Those other points are equally foolish.

While points number 4 & 5 are worthy of considerations, I beg to differ on points number 1 - 3. I expected to read some 21st century money management principles and not all this you put up here. There are people even with all the envies in their hearts are balling financially.

As for disgusting the rich, I do not think anybody in his right senses will do that. Not everybody will like everybody whether rich or poor. It's just like saying disgusting the poor will make you rich. No not at all. And can I tell you, Yes! life happens to everyone differently. Even the Bible in Ecclesiastes states that “... time and chance happen to them all”. Eccl 9 vs 11. Can you point me to any book where it is written that heaven helps those who help themselves... I think that is a high sounding human philosophical wisdom.

Everyone listen, you will be rich, you will succeed, you will gain wealth but you must discover what works for you. There is no particular access to wealth or success. The only denominator is ability to make sacrifices, delay instant gratifications and be ready to make certain things your opportunity cost. Discover where your strength lies and follow it. And finally, if truly you don't want to stay broke, follow this my simple rule of money: "Be certain not to spend monies you didn't earn".
God bless you all massively.

though following this tips will help but if you dnt knw the principles of new age billionaire like Elon musk, Zuckerberg u might nt get there.
which are
1)economic gap:always observe economic gaps in.a profession or a sector.then find Nd research hw u can bridge the gap
2)making a product or service DT solve challenges pple face.
3)society class gap and packaging:looking at the three socio class(upper class,middle class and lower class) look at the challenges they face on one hand MOST IMPORTANTLY LOOK AT HOW U CAN BRIDGE GAP BTW THIS CLASS .FOR EXAMPLE HOW DO U BRIDGE D CAP OF DAVIDO AND HIS FAN WHO ARE STUDENT (IN TERMS OF ASSET).LIKE WATER TAPES.PLASTIC TAPS ARE CHEAP YOU CAN MAKE ONE ND PACKAGE IT TO HAVE LUXURY LOOKS LIKE THE ONES BANANA ISLAND RESIDENT USE WHICH ARE MOSTLY IRON ND EXPENSIVE.THIS THE METHOD CHINA IS USING .BRIDGE THE SOCIO CLASS GAP ND PACKAGE D DESIGN TO HAVE LUXURY LOOKS

Stop telling people this, people should always weigh the risk they want to bare, some risk are just stupid and people take it because of greed.
Early last year I changed my job, just about when I was going to resume, a friend invited me to take a 400,000 naira job with office in Dubai but working from home here in Nigeria. While the job I wanted to take in Nigeria pays less than 200,00, I was exited because of the money and I wanted to delay my resumption at the new job, but then I sat down and thought about it, the pandemic is ravaging everywhere, Dubai makes a lot of money from tourism, the pandemic can make tourism crash and then companies will want to reduce their spending, and at the same time protect their indigenous workers at the expense of foreign ones, so I decided not to take the Dubai job.

The guy found some other person to fill the position, only for the person to be fired after the 3rd month of resumption(when lockdown is tense) citing the pandemic as the reason. My advice don't take risks blindly, always look before you leap, especially when it involves money

Bigredmachine:


this part is what am really interested in, if you dont take risk you cant make it big in life... for those who bet on matches... take big risk and win big... for example every weekend of match actions stake 5,000 on 10-15 odds which will give u between 60-80k per week... if u are a good analyzer in a months time u should at least make 200-300k that is if you are a disciplined and non greedy fellow... set a target for your self and see if you will not hit it big in betting...
you fit dey drop odds for me to stake?
