PLANTING YOUR OWN MONEY TREE!

Its evidence that principles that have enduring success clearly follow the seed principle – Sowing and Reaping.Those who plant maize or bean seeds reap in about four months. They would need to plant these seeds every year to reap though. But those who sow mango seed would need to wait for about five years before reaping. Once reaping starts, its continues for several years.John Osuoha, Chief executive, Bringforth Investments Limited and author of Financial Intelligence for Youths, says “Every one naira is a seed with the capacity to grow into a tree. Like a grain of corn can produce so many other grains of corn, so is money.”

WASTAGES
Osuoha cautions against wastage, saying “When you waste one naira, you are actually wasting millions of naira. The death of a seed is the death of a tree and the death of a tree is the death of a forest. This is because the power of compound interest makes it possible for a small amount to grow into a large sum of money.

WAY TO WEALTH
Quoting Benjamin Franklin, Osuoha says, “If you really desire it, the way to wealth is as plain as the way to the market. It depends chiefly on two words, Industry and Frugality, that is wastes neither time nor money but make the best use of both.”
He also cites George Clason’ book, The Richest Man in Babylon, Which says “The way to wealth is to realize and practice that a part of all you earn is yours to keep.”Anyone who sincerely wants to be wealthy is therefore advised to save at least 10 percent of all that he earns.He also quotes Alga mish, a wealthy man who observed that Wealth like a seed grows from a tiny seed. The first copper is the seed from which your tree of wealth shall grow.The sooner you plant the seed, the sooner the tree shall grow. The more faithfully you nourish and water that tree with constant savings the sooner you will bask in contentment beneath its shade.”
William beaver observed that: “Making money is learning a new way of thinking about money that people need”Summary of the timeless principles of wealth building by wealth creation experts as

Napoleon Hill says, “Knowledge paves the road to riches when you know which road to take.”Just like an ignorant farmer may experience losses or low harvest if he does not acquire the necessary knowledge, an ignorant person desiring to acquire wealth may not make it. That is the point William Beaver, Napoleon Hill and many other wealth creation experts always make.

STARTING OUT
Osuoha says “Just like a journey of a million miles begins with a step, we must begin with a step, we must not despise the days of small things.A year of 365 days is built up by seconds and accumulates into minutes then to an hour, days, weeks and months. Everything big starts with little beginning, so begin today no matter how small .the best time to begin is now.Procratination is dangerous. It is the grave where opportunities are buried.”
