Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 45
Title: So
You Want To Be A Millionaire?
I
remember in those days when I was a Teacher, I used to enjoy listening to young
people as they talked about their future either in answer to the question
"What would you like to be when you grow up?" or when they are
together and just chatting over relevancies and irrelevancies. Most of the
times, these young people would always say "I want to be a
Millionaire" and when I want to have them speak out their minds in the
Class outside the teaching of Chemistry and Biology, I would ask the question
"who wants to be a millionaire?" and you would see a number of hands go
up, and that would start another round of talks on what they would do when they
become millionaires. In my life time, I have seen some of these my students
actually make it to becoming Millionaires“. And that is why today, I want to
ask you that question "So you want to be a Millionaire?" I am acting
on the assumption that you are not yet a Millionaire and by the way remember
that a millionaire is not someone who has a million naira or whatever currency
is available in your local clime, but someone whose networth would not be hurt
if he loses a million naira. So to be a Millionaire, you must have a couple of
tens or hundreds of millions in liquid form and solid assets. Back to our
question; you want to be a Millionaire? then what are you doing about it?. The
making of millions is not done daydreaming, it's not done strolling on the
streets with hands in both hip pockets and chewing gum while listening to
Davido with ear phones plugged to both ears, it is not done by having night
vigils every night and doing dry fasting and prayer every day, it is not done
by hanging out at Mama Nkechi's isi ewu joint and getting drunk every evening, it is not done by having 5000 friends on facebook and 1 million followers on instagram or being a social media tiger that has a weight less than that of a sheet of paper; it
is done in the field filled with sweat and pain and risks; whoever wants to be
a millionaire must have the X factor because “I believe that anyone can be
wealthy, but I preface that statement by the word desire. If we’re born
physically and mentally OK and have average intelligence. the desire to become
a millionaire is the X factor.” And that X factor must be strong enough to
evoke a practical response not just an emotional one to the issue at stake
(becoming a millionaire). You need therefore to put into action the plan that
would make you a millionaire - a disciplined life style, paying yourself 10% of
what liquid money that flows into your path, postponing gratification, curbing
impulsive purchases, spending far less than you earn, mainstreaming savings and
then investing in profitable ventures after due risk assessment. If you are a
paid worker, do your due diligence and start some form of business on the sideline,
stop living from pay cheque to pay cheque, stop being broke all the time, it is
not good for your physical, psychological, financial, social and mental health.
When you desire a thing so strongly that you are willing to go without food to
achieve it, then you surely would achieve it. So, You Want To Be A Millionaire?
It's doable, go do it
