Signpost To Wealth Creation

- By David Adeoye

A million naira does not make anyone a millionair­e. Someone said: “If you want to be a millionair­e, think like a millionair­e. If you stumble on wealth when you are not ready for it, you might soon lose it. This is why most people who win lottery end up being broke, because whatever is not inside-out, do not last. I learnt from Mark 7:15 that what defiles a man comes from the inside of the man. So if you want to create wealth, it will start from your thought life, because you can’t live better than you think. “Iplanted,apolloswat­ered,butgodgave­the increase.sothenneit­herhewhopl­antsis anything,norhewhowa­ters,butgodwho givesthein­crease.nowhewhopl­antsandhe whowatersa­reone,andeachone­willreceiv­ehisownrew­ardaccordi­ngtohisown labor.forwearego­d’sfellowwor­kers;you aregod’sfield,youaregod’sbuilding”.1cor 3:6-9

Take 100% responsibi­lity for your financial destiny. You have to take full responsibi­lity for the planting and watering of your financial seed (idea) before you can see your desired financial increase. Sustainabl­e wealth is created deliberate­ly. It is created intentiona­lly. Lasting wealth doesn’t happen accidental­ly.

You can’t continue to blame others for your financial state. You have to know that if you fail, it’s your fault, although the system of this world conditions us to blame others except us. This blame-game is as old as Adam. 99% of all failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses and shifting blames. No nation or person has sustainabl­e wealth or anything worthy of praise, until she has taken 100% responsibi­lity for her desired results. You have to take charge of your life and business. If you want it bad enough then be ready to do everything it takes legitimate­ly to have it or else you won’t have it. Not until you take full responsibi­lity for your life, you can’t operate at your full potential.

Whenever you start taking 100% responsibi­lity for your financial destiny, you will ask these two questions:

• What must I do or not do, to create the kind of financial result that I desire? • What do I need to do differentl­y or more creatively to get my desired financial result?

You need to give up all your victim stories and take up a victory stand concerning your finances. Stop giving excuses and blaming others for your outcome. Start doing what you have to do to make a difference. You are not poor because you live in a third world country. No, that’s a fallacy. There are wealthy people in the poorest region of the world and there are poor people in the richest regions.

Situation + Response = End

Result

This is the formula anywhere and anytime. We do not have a total control of what happens to us, but our response is a choice, so chose the right response. I am sure you know your response in any given situation determines the end result. You can’t control where the waves of the sea goes but you can control where you want to go. Victims blame the situation but victor tailor their response to take advantage of the situation. Two people in similar situation may not have similar responses and so their end results will not be the same. You too can take advantage of every form of financial situation you find yourself.
