The Millionaire’s Secret

I’m not a millionaire…..yet, but the amount of knowledge I’ve garnered over the years on the internet is something that I must share with anyone. I’ve seen so many of us trying hard to get money with so much focus on the money and that is THE PROBLEM.

I bought a course late 2020 that taught me so much about money and also made me know that majority people are chasing the wrong thing.

YOU DON’T CHASE MONEY, YOU GET MONEY BY ATTRACTING MONEY

A millionaire friend once said; “People think they have to get money, they focus on the money so much, they end up never getting money or getting money and later losing it”

Before I go further to explain that statement, let’s talk about something that should be known.

“The money you need is in people’s pockets and bank account or whatever.”

All you need to do to get it, is solve a problem for them, offer something of value and money will come to you.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin were PhD students in the late 1990s when they worked together to create a platform with the aid of the internet. This platform was meant to make life easier for people by making search easier.

With the aid of this their platform, all people had to do if they needed an information is to enter keywords and the platform will give them thousands and millions of information. This platform was called GOOGLE founded in 1998.

Larry Page is today among the world richest Men with a networth of over a hundred billion U.S Dollars.

Google worked because it solved a problem for people, it was an offer of value and in today’s world, the most visited place on the internet.

Let’s talk about everyone’s favourite, Mark Zuckerberg.

The original purpose of Facebook, or “The Facebook” as it was known then, was to allow Harvard students to use their “. edu” email addresses and photos to connect with other students at the school. Then-student Mark Zuckerberg foresaw a way of bringing the existing social experience of college onto the Internet.

And Facebook now serves the purpose of bringing the world together by making it possible for anyone with an internet connection to connect with friends and family all over the world.

You need to sit down, brainstorm and highlight problems people face, find valuable ways to solve this problems and get paid for helping them.

Plumbers, Masons, Electricians, Car repairers, etc are not paid because of their title but because they have helped whoever is paying them.

You pay MTN, Glo or Airtel for Data because they allow you make calls, text and access the internet. You’re paying them because they’re helping you access the internet and telecommunication services.

Ask yourself

• WHAT PROBLEMS DO PEOPLE AROUND ME, MY COUNTRY OR THE WORLD AT LARGE HAVE?
• CAN I SOLVE ANY OF THIS PROBLEM?

The wealthy usually make money with this formula, they find a problem that they can solve (Invention of Laptops), a pleasure they can offer to people (Netflix), and they charge for it. They make money off it.

NEXT NECESSARY THING WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IS VALUE

Your solution must be valuable, what do I mean?

The solution you offer must be desirable, it must be very important and different from what others are doing out there.

People chunk out money for iPhones because it is valuable. It is so valuable, even poor people are buying it so they appear high up the social strata.

Then desire is seen in soft drinks such as; Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Fanta, etc. Most times, when people buy these drinks, they are not hungry or thirsty, they just desire it, they sit down and they feel like having a bottle of Pepsi, Desirable products such as; Pepsi and services such as; Netflix will always sell.

Imagine creating a platform where students invest money and get a particular amount every week, now imagine such a platform gets popular and scale up with authenticity and integrity at its core.

Another thing; You need to plan how many people will be willing to spend their money on whatever you’re planning to offer them. If your plan is to make millions, make sure your product or service is extremely valuable to a large audience that can afford it, so it can be used by many and recommended to more.

Here is the summary of everything

Do not chase money, find a solution to a problem, make sure that solution is very valuable, do not be overly desperate when you market this particular solution, make sure there is mass demand subconsciously or consciously to solve the problem you’re targeting, offer them a solution through a powerful distribution channel.

Use the money you make to scale up and also for other businesses.

Until you make money, more money won’t come to you. Money attracts money.

‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

Matthew 25:29 NKJV
