MONEY MYTHS KEEPING YOU FROM GETTING REAL WEALTH.

“If I had the money, I would start a business, invest in real estate and do so much more with my life”. 

How many times have you said one of these statements to yourself? You have the ideas but never enough money to execute them. 

Your financial success is hugely dependent on your relationship with money. What is your relationship with money like? Is it one filled with insecurity, discontent, jealousy and lack or is it one filled with abundance, love and respect? 

Like any other relationship, you have to invest time and put in the work to understand it and make it successful. A great relationship with money will lead you to financial success and help you build wealth beyond what you ever imagined possible. 

In order to build a better relationship with money, it is necessary that you become aware of some of the myths and lies you’ve been telling yourself or that were told to you by others that are sabotaging your financial success. 

*(1) THERE ISN’T ENOUGH MONEY TO GO AROUND*
 
The truth is that there is plenty of money out there, it’s just unevenly distributed. While you’re struggling to make money, someone else out there has plenty of it and they are willing to spend it. 

Find out what those who have more than you want most and are willing to spend their money on. Then offer it to them in exchange for some of their money. 

Give people what they want and need and you will get what you want in return. 

*(2) SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD AND WILL DO IT FOR ME*
 
You determine what you want in life not your parents, the government, international donors or your rich relatives. 

You can make the choice today to improve your financial situation. Relying on someone else for financial security is giving up your power to make your own choices and decisions that are good for you now and in future. 

*(3) PEOPLE WITH MONEY ARE GREEDY; IT’S MORE SPIRITUAL BEING POOR*
 
Indeed, some rich people get their money through questionable ways but not every rich person is greedy. There are many wealthy people in the world who earn their money in legitimate ways by meeting the needs of others with their businesses. 

And you can too if you become obsessed with solving other people’s problems and get rewarded for it. 

God is ready to give you what you want as long as you ask with clarity and are doing good to help others. 

*(4) I HAVE TO HUSTLE TO MAKE MONEY*
 
You don’t need to do more and more to become wealthy. Instead, think smart and work smart. 

Surround yourself with smart people and educate yourself about money management and investment. Spend some time learning how to make your money work hard for you instead of working hard for money. 

*(5) I REALLY DON’T WANT MONEY ANYWAY; IT’S A HUSTLE HAVING MONEY*
 
It’s a bigger hustle not having money. Money may not solve all your problems, but it takes care of about 90% of them and you can then focus all your attention on solving the other 10%. 

*(6) I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT I WANT TO MAKE MONEY*
 
It is possible to make money doing what you want or love. It may not be easy but it is possible. 

For everything you think cannot be done, if you search around the world, you’ll find more than 50 people out there doing it and making a good living out of it. 

Doing what you want or what you’re created to do sets you apart and makes you stand out in a way that others can’t which puts you in a position to set your own price. 

Find what you’re good at, decide what you want and then find the right people who are willing to pay you what you’re worth. 

*A Final Word*
 
Financial education is neither taught in school or at home by your parents. So if you want financial success, it is your responsibility to find your own truth about money, align yourself with financially successful people in society and learn from them and create new beliefs around money that will propel you to success.

2 THINGS YOU MUST SACRIFICE TO BE RICH QUICKLY.

Have you ever paused for a moment and thought to yourself “I must be doing something wrong with my life, how comes I don’t have a single profitable /successful investment running under my name despite working diligently for all those years?” Yes, you have the zeal and willingness to invest…but somehow, things seem not to be going your way. May be you even have a job, with a steady monthly salary and you do your best to save something at the end of the month. But still somehow you’ve not been making any meaningful progress. If you are in business, despite toiling and moiling all your life, you still can’t narrate any success stories worthy of a gossip blogger’s attention. It’s a painful reality that most of us prefer not to talk about. It yields a sense of hopelessness and can easily make you wonder what your purpose in life is. As it turns out, making it in Kenya (or Africa) is not as easy as it may sound on paper. Despite the fact that Africa is on the rise, we still face subtle probl...

HOW TO STARTING A MINI-SUPERMARKET BUSINESS.

More entrepreneurs in Kenya are now venturing into the mini-supermarket business especially in residential areas and growing towns. For the longest time, Kenyans had been used to the supermarket concept being limited to big supermarket chains such as Uchumi, Nakumatt, Tuskys, Naivas, Quickmart, etc. And, those in areas away from the urban were used to wholesale stores and small retail shops. Now, most places in Kenya have smaller supermarket formats and there are smaller chains emerging. Today, almost every local shopping center you go to in Kenya has a mini-supermarket. A mini-supermarket is a good business idea especially if you have the capital to set up your store and stock it up. With regular stocking up and fair prices, you might just give the retail shops around a run for their money. *Starting Samadens Mini-mart* “We started in 2016. But I had this business in my mind for a long time before we even moved to Ruiru in 2003. I believe in making that extra money and my ...
