We Must Take A Serious Look At This!

Many people in the world has dreams of the kind of life to live, most set their dreams at their
earlier age when still in schools and colleges. As years get numbered very few of them live their
dreams, some go on struggling for, many adjust their dream and others give up. A successful life
therefore is simply a life of unadjusted dreams.

Is this right to every human being who is serious with work? ...............

For those who don‟t have dreams they‟re simply going to nowhere, let the universe choose a
lifestyle for them.

It‟s impossible to live a dream lifestyle if you are poor, because most of the time you will be
busy working for money to make you survive. So it needs enough money, enough time and peace
to live your dream life. Enough money gives you freedom of choices, enough time makes you
the master of your timetable and peace makes you happy. That‟s why riches are termed to be
successful in life, because they don‟t work for money, they have freedom of choices and some
are happy.

In the information age there is a very huge gap between the successful and non successful
people. It is unsurprising now to find young people at an average of 25 years who are
Millionaires at the same time old people above 45 still looking for employment, the gap is even
going on increasing as the years goes on. This is exactly opposite from what we used to
experience in the industrial age, though many people still play the role of the industrial age.

Success against failure


If person is working for money, he/she is not yet successful. Successful people don‟t work for
money they work for fun and strictly money works for them. Some people think to become busy
12 hours a day in employment is a sign of success, for sure that is a typical form of being
unsuccessful.

A clear minded person chooses success over failure.

Why Some People Succeed Easier Than Others


Serious people take about five to ten years to get successful while others take more than thirty
and others get old without any success.

The main factor which makes some people take longer time than others to get successful in life is
the nature of work from which they get their income.
August, 2010 Page 1
There are four means in the world through which people can get income. Figure 1 below shows
these, and is called Cash Flow Quadrant.

Fig. 1

Employees

These people believe in job security; might say “I‟m looking for a safe, secure job with good pay
and excellence benefits”.
They always have limited freedom, their employers determine their working hours and time to
attend work, and they sometimes work up very early in the morning (by alarm clocks) even out
of their will.
These people have limited income; their income is determined by their employers. They have no
control on the increase of their income.

They live from paycheck to paycheck.

Self-employees

Sometimes they are called Small business owners or Specialists. They believe they‟re better than
others, they like to be their own boss; they might say “my rate is TZS 100,000/= per hour”, or “if
you want your work to be done right do it yourself”.
These people have but little freedom because to them „time is money‟. They cannot leave their
work for a long time e.g. three months, otherwise it will collapse.
Most of them have good technical skills e.g. doctors in their own dispensaries, lawyers in
consulting firms, owners of retail shops etc.
Their income is limited by the number of hours in a day, and so number of working years in their
lives. Note that there‟re only 24 hours in a day and is impossible to utilize all.

August, 2010 Page 2


Business Owners

Most of these are entrepreneurs, who create systems in which other people find jobs. They like to
delegate power; they might say “I‟m looking for a good system, good network and the smartest
people to help me run my business”. They believe there are people who are smarter than them
and like to surround themselves with them and work together for maximum profit.
They‟re good at leadership skills, communication skills; they can very well inspire people.
Their income is the residue after paying the workers. This income depends on how big the
system is which also depends on the creativity of the idea. So their incomes have got no limit.

A big business owner with a system of let say 500 people has 500 times the number of working
hours of an S or E; and this is what makes the difference i.e. A work done by a B for 2 years has
to be done by S or E for more than 1000 years to get the same output made by a B.

These people have freedom; they can be away from their working place for more than three
months and find their system working even better.

This is a group to accumulate wealth, and this is how Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Randy Gage,
Regnard Mengi, Alphonse Chilato, Bakhresa and many others in the world accumulate wealth.

Investors

This people have intensive capital, so that they can create assets which keep on bringing income
through out of their lives.
This people can work for more than five years without any gain, but once the work is over they
become free for the rest of the lives.

They have more freedom. This group creates a stable wealth, and this is how Donald Trump,
Robert Kiyosaki and others got wealthy.

To sum up; if you are careful enough you can tell from which quadrant people can grow
financially faster than the other.

Both of the quadrants found in the right hand side of the cash flow quadrant can make people get
wealthy faster than the people found in the other two quadrants.

Many people understand this logically but fail to understand it emotionally; it takes and
determination and time to feel the values of the right hand side of the cash flow quadrant.

Note: It takes emotional understanding not just logical to feel the values of the right hand side.

August, 2010 Page 3


Likewise;

To change quadrant needs a change of the core values (or core beliefs), this is not an overnight
process, it takes time about two to three learning years, but once you see the values of the right
hand side of the quadrant; you become unstoppable.

For those who have seen this, it makes no sense to go for a job and become employees, they
rather keep on increasing their entrepreneurial skills, searching for business opportunities,
they‟re sure one day are going to succeed no matter what nor how long will it take and they
always succeed.

But very few people can operate in those quadrants, because;

 Many people fear risk


 People have been trained for a very long time how to become employees
 Many people lack business and investment skills
 Many people seeks advise from unsuccessful friend and relatives
 Many people try to escape from failing so they end up remaining in their confort zone
which mostly is being employees etc.

So What It Takes To Make A Shift?

Many people think the only barrier for a shift from left hand side to the right hand side of the
cash flow quadrant is capital, the truth is that capital is the very miner barrier, the dominating
barrier is the mind set, the core values; if you change the core values to the one on the right hand
side, the money automatically becomes not an issue.

If you have the right core values you will always meet people of the same core value and meet so
many alternatives to move forward.

Basic Principles of Success
Success has got no formula, it varies from person to person yet there‟re general principles to
abide with if you really want to be among the successful people in this world. These principles
worked for them, they can work for you as well. You can get surprised how simple these are if
you compare with the value that comes with.

Just few and the common ones has been considered;

A Success Mindset Is Needed

Many times when people get opportunities to meet successful people and ask how to get rich,
normally the answer is “change the way of thinking”.

In human mind there is a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. The conscious mind
constitutes about 10% of the brain, it gathers knowledge and experience. It learns from books,
movies, TVs, and all other things you hear, see or feel from morning to evening every day. It
reasons and a forms conclusion (whether wrong or right) called reality and finally serves through
pass down into the subconscious mind.

On the other hand subconscious mind constitutes the rest of the percentage, it is a seat of
memory and all instinct, and it carries out all complicated processes within the body which
makes life possible. It‟s the mind of action; it contains some extraordinary powers, acts entirely
upon suggestion. That is to say it follows blindly and faithfully the thoughts that are sent down
into it.

Example; If a person believes in existence of sorcery matter, then witch doctors and other forms
of sorceries are proven likely to affect him than others who don‟t believe in. And if that person
goes on narrating on those stories he/she will finally be sorcery. And the people listening to the
stories begin to serve in their subconscious mind and finally become their reality.

So, if you want your conscious and subconscious mind to be success oriented, then start today
following after success news, avoid feeding your conscious mind with news which will lead you
into failure e.g. poverty news, movies to let you believe that being poor is a right to you, some
movies show direct that rich is the root of all evils, unfortunately we live in a continent whose
large percentage of its people are poor, with poverty mindset and poor beliefs, they have given
up on their dreams, some had confirmed that they can‟t get out of the situation they are etc. so
it‟s possible that more than 90% of people we meet, interact with, talk to etc, in a day are poor.
For sure being surrounded by this kind of environment is extremely dangerous and if we are not
careful being poor is something obvious to us.

A cool advice; „have time to rethink and decide what read, see, hear and practice‟.

August, 2010 Page 5


Mildred Mann the billionaire commented that; "Nothing will happen to change your life until
you consciously step in and start to work with the subconscious mind, otherwise, you will
continue in the same pattern you have built up" .

It Takes Efforts To Overcome Your Own Fear

Fear is the most limiting factor which makes people stop from practicing their ideas. In fact fear
is just a psychological state of mind which has been „planted‟ unknowingly in the subconscious
mind and as a result it brings great influence against all actions on new incoming ideas. You
possibly meet opportunities every day and you recognize them, but you fail to start due to fear of
losing money, fear of being rejected, maybe you surfer internal conflict on how other people will
consider you after starting businesses, and others of the like.

Example; Think of yourself the first day you were learning how to ride bicycle the way you felt
and afraid of falling down, compare it with today after knowing how to ride it. Bicycles are of
the same kind, the grounds can hurt you as well and all other factors remained the same except
one thing. Something has changed in your mind, which is the fear has been overcome by the
reality. You can ride at very high speed and never fall down.

For sure if you could let the fear overcome your desire of riding the bicycle, then you could even
not yet known how to ride till today.

A free advice is; „Learn how you to overcome your own fear‟.

Fear can destroy ambitions, fortunes, relationship and if left unchecked can destroy our lives.

Supportive Friends

Make sure your closest friends must have the same idea as that of yours, even dreams bigger than
you do, when you get discouraged friends encourages you to go forward. Not all friends can do
that some discourages you, they will only show you how others or themselves have failed and
never show you how others have reached successes, i.e. they make you learn from failures, and
many does this unknowingly because their advice bases on their wrong reality.

Jim Rohn tells us that, “our income will be the average earnings of our five closest friends”.

Success Is A Result Learning Through Mistakes

Successful people encourage doing as many mistakes as possible, correct and trying repeatedly.
This is different from what we used to experience in school where teachers discourage students
from making mistakes. In real life the game is done through making mistakes.

It has to be noted that, failure is a part of success, for those who avoid failure, avoid success as
well.

August, 2010 Page 6


Tom Hopkins the multimillionaire says that, “I‟m not judged by the number of times I fail, but
by the number of times I succeed. And the number of times I succeed is direct proportion to the
number I can fail and keep trying”.

Having A Serious Interactions With Success Minded People Is A Road To Success

Many people ask, how can I have time to talk to Bill Gates so that he can share with me the
success strategies? The good news is most rich people are generous but they avoid talking to
everybody because many people‟s mind has been „polluted‟ (full of negativities). It‟s your task
to make sure that your mind is success oriented in order for you to increase the possibility of
meeting such people.

More ever knowing this most rich people tries to share ideas with people all over the world
through books, there are many books in which riches has been documented their ideas.
Unfortunately many people (especially many Africans) have no habit of reading books!

Again read success magazines, attend business seminars presented by successful people.

Ability To Adopt The Changes Of The World

Whether we like it or not, change is a factor of life and it‟s inevitable. Just few past years we
were in Industrial Age and today in Information Age many things have been changed, but many
people have been left behind playing the role of industrial age.

People are needed to be flexible enough to adopt the changes.

The biggest problem with the information age is Invisible, many opportunities and businesses
accompanied with information age are not seen by eyes, they are seen by mind.

Many people try to run away from changes, in fact changes are inevitable, especially when the
right time has come, is better you face rather than running away from it.

It Takes an Emotional Intelligence

Emotions works with the subconscious mind to overcome fear, and if it rises on a right idea it
forces to take right actions.

As well as your business skills, emotion intelligence is an entirely different from academic
intelligence. In general someone with high emotional intelligence will often do better in business
than someone with high academic intelligence but low emotional intelligence. This explains, in
part, why some people do well in school but not so well in the real life.
