One of the common things I see on social media is people advertising how to make money, and not just small money, most of the time. People advertise some of the secrets mentioned serious money, for example, how to make thousands of dollars every day right from the comfort of your home. The funniest part is that people still fall for this trick. I call it a trick because 99% of those ads are a lie, even if they’re coming from an influencer or a person who is close to you.
The question you should ask is, how will somebody have such a secret and want to share with you? and even if somebody want to share with you, they won’t be demanding a lot of money from you because a secret that is making you millions of dollars every year if you want to share it in a country like Nigeria where 70% of the population are poor you should be doing it for for free and not you telling them to go bring their life savings to learn the secret. We all know it’s a lie, and people always fall for this trick because of one reason, and that reason is their mentality.
Luck
Most people's mentality is that to get rich, you must be lucky. People always tie money to luck, and also people always tie wealth to an event. Something big must happen to you all of a sudden for you to become rich. It’s just like when you're expecting a miracle, people pray for money because they believe that something can happen to them, and from there, their life will change. Most times, it doesn’t always work like that, before something big can happen to you. You must start putting in the work.
Most people always neglect the process. They are only focused on the results, and this is where people get it wrong. I’m not saying that there isn’t something like luck. When it comes to Wealth, the process brings about luck, and you have to position yourself and also be at the right place at the right time. If you’re not doing anything with your life or engaging with something, it will be very difficult for you to get lucky. Like like I always tell people, even lottery winners do something with their time
The process is what you should focus on
When there is a mental mentality shift from luck to process, everything begins to work out for us. You might believe that Bill Gates is lucky, but you must also remember that Bill can choose to do another thing with his time; he might choose not to create a company, or Microsoft. He might choose just to spend all this day on this couch, but engaging in something and the process makes him wealthy. This is how we should see Wealth, We can just sit on our couch, expecting a miracle or an event to happen to us to go from zero to one hundred overnight. It doesn’t always work like that.
It is true that there are secrets that can fetch you millions, but if people want to share such a secret with you they won’t be begging you for money. We should start doing something with our time and with our life so that we won’t be left behind while orders are being it. It is very important to engage in something, and the process brings the luck that we deserve.
