How To Be Rich, Nigga by Gerard D. Spinks
Resist all the temptation and the parents who will tell you that you need to get and keep a good job. When I started making a bucket load of money from one of my businesses in Oakland, California, my mother simply did not believe that what I was doing was legit and told me to find a good job.
Old School cats are not used to this mentality so I encourage you not to share this with everyone in your family. Not everyone will get it though. Historically, we were not taught to create and maintain businesses. Let me be clear though, I am not telling you to go quit your job and that you do not need that income anymore. I am telling you to create a plan to create wealth and work the plan slowly over time and this will create wealth. Your new business plan is going to take 3-5 years just to mature and you’re going to need your income from your job while your get rich plan is materializing.
Some of your plans will need money to fund the deal and some will need your time, creativity, and persistence. I find that most plans really need your time most of all and as Donald Trump says, time is money. You can save yourself a bucket load of money if you know how to do most of the stuff incorporated in your personal wealth plan yourself. Some things require what God has already given you and I would try to focus on those areas to save money in your plan first.
All the wonders you seek are within your self and God has given you most of what you need to create wealth. God would never create you with this intellect and this ability and let it never happen for you. It lies within us all…you just have to be willing to dig deep enough and have the courage to go find it, go after it, and have the patience to let it mature.
I repeat, DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB right away and get yourself in a financial bind. The economy is already tough enough and you are lucky if you’re working. Do not quit your job until this plan begins to replace the jobs income consistently for at least a 12 month period.
