How much is your worth as we head towards a Middle Income Economy and a Semi-Industrialized Nation by 2025

Have you ever wondered why majority of employed people who depend on salary to survive are always poor? I am not saying all employed people are poor but the majority of them really are. 

You do not require any research findings to prove this because it is a fact. It is at this point  that you look at salary as a bribe or pay given to you by somebody for you to forget your ambition and goals. 

Every time you think of the monthly pay you forget all other things including your long term agenda and attach your life to your job to a point where you believe that your job is your heartbeat hence forcing  you to live in a 30 days vicious cycle of poverty.

You continuously live waiting for salary every end month and any slightest delay might cause you anxiety, heartbreaks, disappointment and even pressure. 

Salary is therefore just a short term solution to your life long financial problems and therefore cannot in anyway provide you a permanent solution to your many financial needs.  

The solution is that we all need multiple sources of income for us to live fulfilled  lives and the path to it is through INVESTING in a profitable BUSINESS.

SALARY is just a medicine for managing POVERTY. The cure to it is INVESTING. Investors do not necessary depend on a salary but on earnings. 

Take your salary and divide it by  the exchange rate to know how poor you are as compared to before you started your job or divide it by 2,000 hours per annum to know how much you are worth per hour.  If  at all you do not save of which you rarely do then you are destined to die or remain poor forever.

Your worth is more than just salary, salary is just a measure of one's efforts in a particular job which depend on how much others value you. 

We need to learn to value ourselves so that we can measure our own value. I have come to realize that life and work is a trade off against time, effort and reward. To be rewarded more you need to be more valuable.  

Little is said about majority of foreign investors who come and exploit numerous opportunities at our own expense while we remain laborers. They invest in those areas/sectors where we could also  better invest. The truth is they capitalize on our own problems including energy, communication, education, health, agriculture you mention it.  

We need to CHANGE our perspective of life and our MINDSET and instead of looking for jobs let's be the job creators. Let's see OPPORTUNITIES in PROBLEMS around us and by providing a SOLUTION we will eventually turn into real entrepreneurs.
