STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS TO WEALTH
By: Okon E. Promise, Wed Mar 10th, 2010
“The mind is the only machine that can manufacture anything we want”- Okon E. Promise
Assuming 100 people are asked to choose between wealth and poverty, I have no doubt in my mind that all the 100 people will opt for wealth. Wealth is something that a lot of people are struggling to achieve. I know of people who have lost huge amount of money and resources, in the process of trying to achieve wealth. A lot of people have tried to acquire wealth without being successful. Many cannot do or even go to bed without thinking of how to become rich in life or like Bill Gate, the richest man they all know. Many have done all sorts of evils in order to become wealth while other have made up their mind to remain poor thinking wealthiest people like Bill Gate or Warren Buffet are born with silver spoon in their mouths. BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE. The truth is that many are poor because of their negative mindset about money/wealth. Money is first created in the mind before metamorphosing into physical cash. In few words, “the mind is the only machine that can manufacture anything we want”. If you have made up your mind to be poor, then you will remain poor except something important is urgently done to pull you out of the condition. The financial condition you are today is as a result of the decision you made in your mind few minute ago, hour ago, month or some years back. The condition you will find yourself tomorrow or in the future will be the result of the decision you will make today.
There is power in the mind/thought. All good or bad things today are the products of the mind and thought. You have to be positive in order to achieve worthy things. Without positive mindset, Bill Gate wouldn't have been a wealthy person. He knows how to make use of his mind to get what he wants out of life. If you must achieve wealth, it is the right time you learn how to conceive thing (including money) in your mind positively. You don't need to roam around the street searching for wealth. Your mind already carries your wealth, no matter it proportion or amount. Create (think) that riches your want in your mind first and work towards it physical manifestation and you will see it come to reality. Many may not believe in this because of their negative mindset that gives them nothing good but further constraint them to poverty and sorrow.
Anyway, no mater how you come across this article, consider it a ticket to your financial prosperity because its ultimate aim is to reveal the secret rich people are using in raking money into their bank account and hiding it from the ordinary people. I want to show you how to fatten you bank account and always laughing when visiting your bank. After reading this article, your bank manager and his/her staffs will start sending your gifts in order not to loose you to any other bank. Ok, enough of firing your financial spirit high, let get to the main point. But before I lead you directly to where your wealth is residing, let me tell you that:
1. You cannot be rich without having anything doing
2. You cannot be rich by folding your handing and expecting miracle to happen
3. You cannot be rich when you are negative minded
4. You cannot be rich without having the desire to learn from wealthy/successful people
5. You cannot be rich stealing public fund (poor mindset)

7. You cannot be rich without action
