Everybody wants to own something, not bad but at some point we have to ask ourselves, at what end in creating a much larger competitive circle? I was listening to a gospel message that is somewhat related to where I am heading to in this article.
His question was; to what end is the need for opening another church?. At least in every street of a Christian dominated environment we should have nothing less than two churches. New ministers are coming up with the goal of fulfilling their ministerial duty but some fail to understand that it is not mostly about opening another church.
This is where there is a need for cooperation and understanding. The Church is not mainly to compete but rather to spread the Good News effectively and effectively. It can be sad to say but the outlining of churches from street to street is not still solving the challenge of creating true believers.
Looking away from that, my context in this article is on finance and investment. Another related video I watched was one in which the speaker said something I had to think twice over. ‘I pay my manager 500K every month but he makes up to N40 million yearly from the company. Let me quickly correct the impression; it is not theft we are talking of her as I will be analysing this in the later part of this article.
The next time you complain your boss is not paying you well, ask yourself, where am I missing it?. The fact is, you are more of a liability to that company. If ALL you are exchanging for the growth of that company is work time or converted energy then you will be in the bottom of the company impact chain.

Wow! I didn't see that one coming. So a job can be good if you know how to convert it to work. His three stages here was; ‘work hard, work smart, network’. Even as an SME I can tell you this for free; we are no longer interested in those who only work for the money and have no intense input in the company. entrepreneurs are looking for partner workers rather than the Vice.
So how did his manager make that much? He is a shareholder in that company. He earns equity daily which converts to something very tangible at the end of the month. Imagine it, 500k equals N6 million at the end of the year. His equity benefit is roughly 6.5x bigger than his salary.
There is something very important to look at here; understanding how beneficiary circles work. With all his experiences, he didn't quit job and go all out to establish a new business. building a business from scratch is not mere talks. I have experience, ups and downs, economic impact here and there, cash flow Crisis, meeting standards, coordinating a positive mindset working team and the rest.
To add to this, you will have to give the business enough time to grow. His manager is too smart and understands the mystery of networking too. It was something I discussed with my co-partner that we will soon have to turn our attention to buying shares of standing companies to save ourselves some stress. We will need to adopt a strategy that will put profit both internally and externally into this company.
To conclude, let me add, I just updated my knowledge yesterday from this mind-blowing seminar I watched online. Success is about understanding where to place hard work, smart work and Network. The best one should pursue as an employee is to become an investor. Salary will not scale you but ROI’s can change the entire story. At least this one I just shared is one of such realities.
