I've always known that the act of prosperity in life is far gone beyond just hard work, doing everything possible to make money without the right principles will only drain your energy and can waste of time.
if money was gotten by hardwork alone, then lots of agberos, brick layers, laborers would make millions on daily basis, just like the holy book puts it
I returned and saw under the sun that— The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all Ecclesiastes 9:11
by natural order these categories of physical attributes should attracts wealth or successes but no, that tells us that it's beyond just physical assertion of energy but rather mental and psychological understanding is required most especially.
wealth creation in the 20th and 21st-Century is beyond academics degree, or physical strength, one thing is certain what open doors easily for wealth creation is the acts of decerning and taking hold of opportunities.
poverty is not only lack of money alone but most importantly it's a mindset, you can be broke but not poor, i derived the meaning of poverty from the acronym P.O.O.R which means passing over opportunity repeatedly this argument is valid and is a fact.
a person can be very creative, productive, industrious and knowledgeable but if this person is oblivious to how to discover decern and take hold of opportunities then he or she will remain perpetually poor, opportunities are what define moments, they are door ways to wealth creation: an act of utilizing creativity in transformation of a ideas, product and or, services.
opportunities are mechanisms and mediums for wealth creation, that's why poverty is best described as passing over opportunities repeatedly and not necessarily a concepts of lack of money in your pocket or bank account.
so therefore in these post I highlighted three best practices to overcome the poverty mentality stronghold
Looking out for opportunities
they say Opportunities comes but once, how true?, it is because a particular opportunity can come your way, however if you're not prepared in whatever ways necessary that opportunity no matter how good it was, could be one life changing moments and if you missed it, it's gone, that's why preparation plus opportunity will equal success, be sensitive to always be on the look out, prepare yourself in a particular area ready for whatever opportunities might pop up.
Be Skilled Ready
like I said degrees a lone isn't enough, speaking good English alone is not enough you have to intentionally learn a skill or two, currently skills pay more than whatever degree you have in your bag, being skillfully ready is a sure way to never miss an opportunity repeatedly time and again.
Understanding times and seasons
this more like saying knowing what to do when to do it and how to do it, there are certain times and seasons that you need to understand certain opportunities that usually might come along with them.
in everything you do be versatile, spread your tentacles, spread your net far and wide to grab whatever opportunities in any direction, stay prepared and ready so not to miss out.
