Set and pursue your wealth philosophy
Over the past two months, we may have faced the strong winds of disappointment, the call for despair, the unwelcome heartbreak, or just continuous good times and blessings. One wonders why do people arrive at such different places? Were they not sailing in the same sea? PHOTO/FILE
What you need to know:
- Goals are achieved through specific actions exercised over a period of time usually a year to five years in some fashion.
- Effective time management is the best-kept secret of the rich among other four pieces puzzles that define the wealthy.
We are 65 days into the year, and the results are displaying in black and white, the effects of thoughts translated into actions.
Over the past two months, we may have faced the strong winds of disappointment, the call for despair, the unwelcome heartbreak, or just continuous good times and blessings. One wonders why do people arrive at such different places? Were they not sailing in the same sea?
Jim Rohn, the undisputed leader of goal management attempted to unravel this truth through a small story of his early life. “ I was broke at 25 and a millionaire by 31.
At 25, there was nothing in my bank and I needed to provide for my family. As I was considering what to do, I met John Earl Shoaff, a wealthy entrepreneur who became my employer for the next five years. He revolutionised my life and taught me the importance of developing my philosophy.”
BEST-KEPT SECRET
Goals are achieved through specific actions exercised over a period of time usually a year to five years in some fashion.
Effective time management is the best-kept secret of the rich among other four pieces puzzles that define the wealthy.
However it would not deliver optimum output when not used within a sound personal philosophy. The winds of circumstance blow upon everyone else, for example, the now forgotten difficulties businesses experienced before, during and after the 2013 elections. Changing within your sail match your competence with the realities, keeping you a float.
This time last year I received a rare visitor, an elderly woman, a reader of this column from, who came from upcountry in search of the writer, to review her business idea. Clearly, you see motivation, turning into action. Today, she is supplying bananas and meat to two hospitals, straight from thoughts.
The rich and the poor face the same challenges. The major difference isn’t circumstance; it is the way we think.
“How we think and how we respond, has a far greater capacity to destroy our lives than any challenges we face.” Wealth is the result of thoughts turned into action. Your sail determines the priority of those actions and how you respond to changes in your environment.
