This a write up as regards attending to ones finances, I became interested with the issue of money, when I saw the disadvantages and limitations that's comes with lack, you'll most likely lie, steal and even compromise your values when there's perpetual insufficiency around you.

Therefore to solve and grow any money related issue, three things are very paramount.

1. What you have to offer.

2. An avenue for what you have to offer to be exchange for the reward or money.

3. Useful connections

I'll elucidate on each below:

1. Ideas: Every money problem is an idea problem, so many people neglect this chiefest factor, the very place where money is built is ideas, and not just any idea, an idea that comes by divine inspiration, or an observation of a prevalent challenge that people can seek to pay for, just to have.

And this ideas must be within your lines of interest or something you're capable of solving via a skill you have been trained for. It's very important to pursue ideas that are within your lines of interest or skill, this makes bringing those ideas into useful forms (a product, or a service or a convenience) most likely possible in exchange for monetary rewards.


2. Market: is there a place where you can exchange your ideas for money? Is there a sustainable demand (willing buyers) for the idea (product, solution or convenience) you're bringing? In a place where your idea is not well know you'll have to do advertising: a situation of bringing awareness to people about that idea and the advantage it will have in thier lives and the necessity of them having that idea and also a medium of reaching you.


3. Relationships: this is actually the second principle when it comes to money, no great man succeeds alone, every wealthy man has someone connected to who's doing well, Elon musk and some heads of US government are in very good terms, Dangote and the Nigerian government are in very good terms, Rich friends maintain a network of like minds and share opportunities amongst themselves. This is how to remain wealthy, apart from having a valid solution to offer, you need connections that can link you up with opportunities that can make you money and stay connected. This is the most difficult part when it comes to making money bkos to earn the trust of very successful people you'll first need character: being a person of integrity. though that's not important to them but this is what will make you trusted and connected long term and secondly competence: the ability to bring needed and useful solution efficiently. which they most likely need first.



Relationship cannot be over emphasized, in my own journey this have proven to be the differentiating factor between those who are doing well and those who are not, it doesn't matter whether you're a good or kind person or not, if you don't have relationships that can bless you, forget about making it. This is not to say one should throw character aside, but in addition know how to connect to those on top, learn the protocol of connecting with people high up. who likes you matters and one relationship can just make the difference, may you meet your helper on time and may you have the solution they need.

Apt! As regards relationship; that explains why it's more difficult for introverts to make money easily; they rather invent

Sure, they just need to strike a balance. I think someone who did well in that regard was Thomas Edison. Knowing how to invent and marketing to the right people.

If you wouldn't mind pls drop your number for the airtime.

That's kind of you. If you don't mind, I wish you can donate the money for the airtime to a beggar, I'll be grateful if you do that. God bless you so much!

Very well. So kind of you, cheers

Learning alot. I'll split my growth stages into three.

01. Learn a skill. I thought all I needed to make money was learn a skill. I learnt skills (game and web dev), still nothing changed.

02. Packaging. Create a portfolio, have a CV. I did that and like magic, I started getting contacts.

03. Now I'm understanding from you, that you need a network of people that provide you the updates to apply your skills, and get paid.

This network is sourced from those who gave you the contracts right?

Yes but not necessarily my brother, I do design's of military gadgets, so sometimes in order to be visible I visit defense conferences organized by the ministry of science and technology, ministry of defense and the various arms of the military, also that of the Nigerian society of engineers, and make sure I meet those who are jey decision makers and strike a good relationship with them.

The purpose of this is to be in a bubble of those who urgently need your solution and those willing to pay now not later, all these avenues are ways to secure those contracts.
