You Will Remain Poor Forever If You Continue Doing These 3 Things

There is this common saying among most youths nowadays which is “ money must be made” and that is why there engage in all types of illegal activities just to make money. Poverty and riches are just two states of mind and you can decide which to possess.

Life will not always give you what you want but what you deserve and that is why you have to work your ass off if you want to be successful. There is no shortcut to success and many who have tried this has never ended well as even the bible described such success as just mere smoke and will vanish with time.

Many men want to make money and be great in life but not all are ready to follow the rules to get there. Such practices have ended many in poverty. Please if you want to be rich, avoid these 3 things.

1.    Wasting money on women

Imprudence with women and sex has made many people poor in our society today. I have a friend who was dating a girl and she will always keep demanding for money. It came to a time, she said she needed 50k for her upkeep and this guy still went ahead to give her his last saving  just my guy to receive a break up message 3 days later from her. If you are the one, what will you do?

This practice of spending your hard earned money on women you have no future with will always leave you poor. Guys, any girl who will not accept you the way you are because you don’t have money is not for you. Stop living to impress women. If you are doing that, you are going to impress the wrong girl. Save your money and stick to one woman, she will help you achieve whatever you want in life.

2.    Your types of friends

Most people underestimate the power of bad influence and that is greatly affecting them today. The simple truth is you will never grow above the company you keep. By the power of master mind, when you associate with successful people and even people above your class, you will always drift in that direction. Never underestimate the value of the company you keep. Why will you keep moving around with people who have no potentials in life? Why keeping company of those who think life is there and you just have to live it with no purpose? There are some group of people who don’t even value their lives and will wake up every morning with no direction.

When you associate with those who are not success and money conscious , you are never going to attract those things into your life. The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.  I tell you, you are going to make it in life if you start associating and even reading books by successful people.

3.    Spending too much

If you belong to the category of people who spend without thinking about tomorrow, then you cannot escape poverty. Don’t ever spend above your means. You can’t be earning N100, 000 a month and you monthly expenses are worth N300,000, you will never grow.

Avoid spending your money on things like gambling, drinking, smoking, parties without savings. Those things are just liabilities and will never add money to your account. The money you save and invest is your own real money and not that which you earn.

You will create a long term poverty with no escape if you spend more than your income with no savings. Remember Warren Buffet worth $80 billion became a billionaire just by investing in the right place at the right time.

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale  Failure has a way of shaking the very foundation of our confidence. One moment, you believe in yourself; the next, doubt creeps in, whispering that you are not good enough, not smart enough, or not destined to succeed. But here is the truth many people never tell you: failure does not destroy confidence—how you interpret failure does. If you have failed recently, this is not the end of your story. It is the beginning of a wiser, stronger chapter. Understand That Failure Is Not Your Identity One of the most dangerous mistakes people make after failing is allowing the failure to define who they are. You didn’t fail because you are a failure. You failed because you tried. Every successful person you admire today has failed in one way or another. The difference is that they refused to turn a moment into a permanent label. Separate what happened from who you are. Your worth is not measured by one outcome. Al...

Growth Is Painful, But Stagnation Is Worse by Kneelyo Akinbowale

Growth is not a comfortable journey. It stretches you, challenges your beliefs, exposes your weaknesses, and forces you to confront versions of yourself you would rather ignore. Many people avoid growth not because they don’t desire progress, but because they fear the pain that often comes with it. But here is the truth many don’t like to face: while growth is painful, stagnation is far more dangerous. The Pain That Comes With Growth Growth demands change, and change rarely feels good at first. It may require you to leave familiar environments, let go of relationships that no longer serve your purpose, or unlearn habits that once kept you comfortable but now keep you stuck. Pain in growth shows up as: • Fear of the unknown • Temporary failure and embarrassment • Discipline over comfort • Sacrificing immediate pleasure for long- term fulfillment. This pain, however, has a purpose. It is the pain of becoming—of building strength, wisdom, and character. Just like muscles grow...

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset: The Battle That Shapes Your Future by Kneelyo Akinbowale.

In life, success is not controlled by talent alone, background, or even opportunity. More often than not, it is controlled by how we think. The mindset you adopt determines how you respond to challenges, failure, criticism, and growth. Two dominant mindsets shape human behavior: the Fixed Mindset and the Growth Mindset. Understanding the difference between these two can change the direction of your life. What Is a Fixed Mindset? A fixed mindset is the belief that intelligence, talent, and abilities are permanent traits. People with this mindset believe they are either “good at something” or “not good at it,” and nothing can change that. Characteristics of a Fixed Mindset: • Fear of failure • Avoiding challenges • Giving up easily • Feeling threatened by other people’s   success • Taking criticism personally • Believing talent alone leads to success Someone with a fixed mindset might say: •“This is just who I am.” •“I’m not smart enough for that.” •“I’ve tried befor...
