ARTICLE: Why I Can’t Sleep If I Have Not Inspired Someone to Be Richer

If you want to be rich, don’t pursue this goal with a “takers” mentality.
You need to find a way to help and provide value to people.

(Yes I wrote it 3x on purpose)
If you can do this at a scalable size, money will never be a problem for you.
Lesson in there.
Becoming Richer = Giving More
To be rich is to have something to give. To have something to offer. To know that you have the power to change something.
To know that whatever happens, you can rebuild. You know the principles that got you to the top and you can replicate them again. Yes, it is not easy but the game is fun.
I feel fulfilled when I find people who have been inspired by me. When I know that I have been a positive and progressive influence in someone's life, that is my dose of satisfaction.
This is why I like to have a personal relationship with people I am influencing or helping. So, I don't talk about money merely because I have a lot of it. I talk about money because I can't but inspire people towards financial success.
So, if tomorrow Forbes says, this guy (me) is worth £200 Million, listen to what he has to say about money, it won’t move me an inch. I’ll just refer people to my articles here and my podcasts.
The Power of Money
Money is very powerful. Everything in the world today has a foundation in money. It takes money to do things. Money is not the only way, but it is the sustainable way. You can get all the help in the world, but if you don't have money to sustain your progress, you would go down quickly.
People who say they don't want more money or they don't want to be richer just do not believe in their ability to make good things happen.
They never think of what more they can do. They just want to live a happy life by themselves. They have little or no care for others. They may claim to have though.
The thing about money is that you can make a huge difference just by supporting someone you believe in. You don't even have to be in the limelight. When you have money to back the right people with the right ideas for the world, good things start to happen.
One of the big problems of the world is that there is too much money backing people with terrible ideas for the world. And nothing is stopping them.
Most people are still in the delusion that their argument or protest will work. And it won't. Only money can fight money. And money doesn't have a character, it takes up the character of the possessor.
I don’t Have Sleeping Issues, I’m Okay
Just for the records, I have no trouble sleeping. But my day doesn’t end without inspiring someone. It is almost a part of me. I feel uneasy if I haven’t done something in this regard in a day.
The greatest gift you can give to a person is hope.
Hope will make them believe in what they can do and what they have to offer.
When a person has lost hope, no strategy or tactic will get their attention. Nothing works without hope. And to trying to make something work where there is no hope is like trying to make a river flow uphill.
I have discovered that I can only lead people I can teach. I cannot lead people I can't teach. And if you want a life of ease, you should think about this.
If you try to teach people and they are not listening to you, then you know that giving them instruction will end in disaster.
Many leaders lose sleep and wear themselves out because they do not understand this principle.
When I realise that I cannot teach someone, I just let them be. Yes, in some cases, you watch such people make huge mistakes, but you don't go out of your way to save them.
You only go out of your way to save people that listen to you. This is my mantra.
I have met so many people like that. I have advised a lot of people who go on to reject my piece of advice. And when the reckoning day comes, I just watch from a distance. Or I don't watch at all.
If you are part of the very fortunate who was born into wealth, one of the best things you can ever do is to align yourself with people who have wisdom, understanding, and insight. That is how you buy honour with money.
I hope this was helpful for you.
And don’t forget….
Life is all about the relationships we have with people.
If you want to be rich, don’t pursue this goal with a “takers” mentality.
You need to find a way to help and provide value to people.
If you can do this at a scalable size, meaning, if you help enough people, money will never be a problem for you.
Till next time.
