Are You Wealthy and What Job Can Make You Wealthy?

rich manBefore you answer that, let me remind you that wealth is the number of days you can survive (your family inclusive) without working and still maintain your standard of living. It is measured in days and not in numbers. That is, how long and not how much. It is a condition not only of abundance but of selflessness, compassion and love.

Now, looking at wealth in this context, how many of us reading this article, believe they are wealthy? 10, 17 or 1,000. Well if you are, then congratulations. Otherwise, you still have an opportunity to learn how to become one. I believe that most of us are engaged in one form of work or the other. Be it a paid job or personal business. At least we are engaged in some productive ventures in order to provide food for our families’ need.

But Can This Job Make Us Wealthy?

I don’t think so. It could give us a measure of comfort but not wealth as described earlier. Most of us are working for money when we are employed. This is to assure there would be pension for us when we retire. But working for money can not make anyone wealthy. It is economic slavery. You might get fired one day when your productivity drops and lose your income source. That can’t make you wealthy. You become wealthy only when your money works for you.

Your money works for you when it is put into ventures that require little or no input on your part, except your initial investment and re-investment. These ventures could be in real estate, savings deposit or shares/stocks.

No paid job will ever make anyone wealthy. I have since realised this. Robert Kiyosaki said, “We all learn to work formoney, but it is the few who learn how to make money work for them that achieve financial freedom.”

3 Avenues Where Money Works For You Are When You:
• Invest in Equity/Shares.
• Invest in Real Estate.
• Operate a Savings/Deposit accounts.

I know you must have heard of these avenues before, but have you really given them more than a passing thought? You need to because, the moment I did, I observed a change in my life and income.

I am an advocate of the first two. Hey! I’m not saying that the third is not ok. On the contrary, the three are ok but the first two have more advantages than the third. But this is not the focus of this article……..it only complements it. Now the crux of this article is discovering the Secrets to Wealth Creation and Making It Last.

What Does It Take To Wealth Creation?

wealth creation

It only requires a conscious and committed effort on your path to make a change. That is the only assurance for a success. The choice is yours. Success and failure in life generally are about taking chances and not taking chances. One man is a success because when the chance came, he was ready, able and capable of meeting it headlong.

Another is a failure because when the chance came his way, he was found unwilling and incapable of taking it. That is life. So, in addition to the secrets to wealth creation, you will also understand that your desire for wealth must have a purpose for it to last. What do you intend to do with the wealth you desire after you have acquired it? Albert Schweitzer said,” There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.”

About Me

Warmest greetings to you……..
My name is John McKay, the author of this article you are now reading. I was born forty years ago. I have always desired the good things of life like most people and have also dreamt of living a wealthy and fulfilled life.

But somehow, I found myself living an average life and just struggling to survive through the years. This struggle continued until 4 years ago when I decided that I have had enough of this rat race or what my friend calls “small box mentality”. This decision to change my quality of life was as a result of what Bishop David Oyedepo said during a church service. He said,” Life delivers to you only what you are willing to accept.”

My eyes were opened to the secrets of creating wealth and sustaining it. I discovered that God had deposited in me the ability to create wealth. I made up my mind to be all that I have ever dreamt of.

I read motivational books, books on investments and financial management and related them to the words of God. I saw that the principle of wealth creation and wealth multiplication are basic and in the Bible. We only need to apply them. Subsequently, I applied the “double taxation” and other principles I learnt. Now, I earn a six digit income in addition to having multiple streams of income; one of which is selling on ebay. I have a wonderful wife and 2 beautiful children all living in Ireland.

Ireland is a very peaceful and beautiful country. I love making money, inspiring and watching people, polo, golf and praising God. You see, “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.” You need to understand that when God dominates your finance, you are bound to command financial dominion. Align yourself to the truth in Mal 3:1-end and experience the validity of God’s promises.

The validity of these promises however lies in you fulfilling your part of the conditions. These, I have done and I urge you to try them too. One thing for sure – no one else is going to do it for you. If you choose to sit down, fold your hands and do nothing for one reason or the other, no amount of wishful thinking or dreaming will help you.

Remember that, “ When one door of happiness, success or opportunity closes, another is open, but often enough we keep on starring at the closed door that we do not see the one that is open.”

It is not about physical strength. It is all about you knowing and applying the right principles. It takes wisdom to make the right decision.

Get wise now.
