How many billionaires has your industry produced?

– Bankole Williams

You see, no matter how much you pray, a two-litre capacity cup cannot contain ten litres of water.

A certain guy told me he wants to be billionaire, and when I asked if he had a strategy, his response was, “Yes, I’ll keep doing what I am doing”. The gravitational pull of his response has left my jaw on the floor since then.

Let me explain – there are certain industries people operate in that, by observation of precedence, you can predict that they CANNOT BECOME BILLIONAIRES just by ONLY DOING their jobs.

This is not a curse, before you throw stones; it is the ugly truth. There is clearly a mismatch between the expectations of people and their daily operations.

Can I ask: How many billionaires has your industry produced?

Before you hastily answer, you need to note that not every wealthy person in your industry made their wealth from your industry. So, you will need to do your proper research and ask questions.

Some GROUNDS are more fertile than others; however, some FARMERS have sense enough to INJECT manure. In some industries, it is either you are INJECTING A NOVEL IDEA or you get more financial literacy to MULTIPLY your money.

Stop WAITING for the day something GRAND will happen or for God to send a HELPER to change your story. Smh. Can you use that ENERGY to ask him for a STRATEGY to make your billions?

Finally, if your job depends on YOU being physically present, there is only so much of YOU that YOU can exchange for money. There is already a CAP to how much you can make UNLESS you:

1) Work through PEOPLE
2) Develop PRODUCTS and make them omnipresent using the internet or
3) Place the MEDIA on yourself/business.

It would be folly wise to conclude that I “only” asked you to change industry strategy.

If you are on this table, I hope the impact of the fall jumpstarts  your thinking!
