WHAT THE WEALTHY UNDERSTAND ABOUT INCOME THAT THE POOR DON'T... By Oluwatosin Samuels In the previous write-ups, I shared on the 4 major must have income sources for financial rest. However, in this piece, I'll love to share on how the wealthy approaches income versus how the poor does. **Point of note: my definition of being wealthy or poor in this context is not a function of the money stored in bank or asset worth but the function of the state of the mind - mindset! The first major distinction between the wealthy and the poor is that while one is satisfied with "source(s)" of income the other is scouting for "streams" of income. Sounds alike right? But they are actually not the same and I will explain with a story. Dekunle and Debola are friends living in the same village where there's been no water for a while and to get water means walking about 15km to the nearest waterfall. Then one day, a very wealthy man in the village summoned the...

4 MUST HAVE INCOME TYPES FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS - Pt2 ...by Oluwatosin Samuels Happy Easter, So last week we started a discussion on the 4 important types of income types that we all must have if we are to succeed in finances. Have you ever wondered why lots of medium to high earners you know still live a borrowing life? It's because their only source of income is probably their job and like someone said, the word JOB is simply an acronym for Journey Of Borrowing while some call it Just Over Broke but whichever way, one source of income is never just enough. For the many financial challenges life is cumbered with, only streams of income would do. And this is why I do my best to encourage as many employed persons as I meet to learn to own side business(es) or have other financial streams because as it is generally known, if you don't leave your job, your job would leave you someday either through termination, poor health, resignation or retirement. Without much ado...

4 MUST HAVE INCOME TYPES FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS ...by Oluwatosin Samuels Dictionary defines income as money received, especially on a regular basis, for work done or through investments. In recent times, I've been undergoing some personal study on money and finances after a very embarrassing season I had to go through. Let me state for emphasis sake that I learn and teach better by personal experience than I ever do by reading the best of books or watching videos on life matters. That said, I've learnt that there are 4 highly important income sources that an individual should have if he's to live a quality life on earth and I will go straight to discussing them: 1. Daily income: This income type should come daily and in regular amounts. It is the most important income that every person must have. And why is that? Each day comes with it's own expenses. If you can secure a daily avenue of wealth no matter how meagre it is, you begin to find financial rest. ...

Asides the fact that agriculture offers so many privileges to men such as the abundance of food, provision of raw materials for clothing and shelter, foreign exchange-earners among other things, it is also a highly lucrative investment opportunity for daring investors. Certain factors are necessary for consideration to have a successful output from agricultural investments and these include: 1. A reasonable capital base 2. A good technical know-how 3. Availability of land 4. Seasonal variation 5. Availability of market 6. Government policies 7. Adoption of advanced technology These factors are indeed salient and cannot be over-emphasized when it comes to farming successfully. Another factor of utmost importance for any successful farming business is the need for sound managerial skills and systems.

So many people around the globe are still yet to fully grasp the kind of disruption that recently emerged in the world space. The advent of blockchain technology is no child's play! Not at all. Sad it may seem, this technology is here to usher in some remarkable and revolutionary paradigms, that will displace many out of their 9-5 jobs; while thousands of thousands will also take up new jobs at the same time. Topmost among those that would lose their jobs are the bankers! Yes, you heard me right - THE BANKERS.

I'm not making stories up, because I have met and interacted with numerous bankers and even their managers - many do not know "jack" about this disruptive technology. In case you doubt me, let me give you an overview of...

Let's Trade Forex.... In the previous episode, Digital Asset Investment was proposed as a very lucrative investment to consider before the year ends. Alright, let's get further, and our topic for discussion is FOREX. Yes, as simple and as popular as FOREX investment is, so many people dread it so badly: but here is me telling you that it's another great place to plug your money. And I'll tell you why? FOREX simply means Foreign Exchange and it stands for the international market where all forms of currencies and commodities are traded. Forex , also known as foreign exchange, FX or currency trading, is a decentralized global market where all the world's currencies trade. Do you know that over 5.3 trillion dollars circulate in the Forex market on a daily basis? Forex is very important to the wall street financial moguls because they understand the wealth therein.

DIGITAL ASSETS INVESTMENT The story of the young Norwegian lad who invested $27 in bitcoin to conduct research on encryption remains fresh in my memory. He forgot about his purchase, not until a few years later when the hype about bitcoin at the time, caught his attention afresh: only for him to get back to his investment and discovered it is now worth about $886,000! W e've been able to take a broader look at the subject of investment in our previous episode. Let me now put it straight that the very first investment I would love to recommend for this season is Digital Assets Investments.

The term digital assets simply refer to assets that are stored electronically. Just like physical assets such as land, gold, and other precious metals, these assets are of great value as...
