The moment you get out of
bed and wash your face and drink water, pure water companies count on
you.
When you brush your
teeth, Pepsodent, Close Up or Oral B earns from you.
When you charge your
phones, laptop(s) and other gadgets, NEPA/PHCN reads its meter and earns from
you.
When you move from your
house to the office, taxi, danfo, okada or keke (tricycle) owners count on you.
When you drive your car,
filling station owners collect their share.
When you check your
WhatsApp, Facebook and other social media platforms, the bank accounts of
telecommunication companies get credited while your account is debited.
So, before you get out of
the house, you have already paid all these companies something. You have
already spent money. How then do you foot these bills when you go to bed every
day without making at least N10? This is the major reason why you need an
additional source or multiple streams of income.
It is high time you
started thinking about how to make money every day. Think residual or passive
income. Start with a small targeted amount, and grow as you go. Start with
something that will give you a little cash even if it is N10 a day. It is
better than going to bed without making even a kobo.
Let’s put our faith into
action, take risks and start something! Salary alone cannot solve your money
problems. You need secondary sources of income to create a balance. It will
also interest you to know that salary is a medicine for
managing poverty; it doesn’t cure it. Only
your business or investment cures poverty.
