A Lunch With A Millionaire

I've had the privilege like most of us have had,of talking with millionaires.But there is a  'unique' category of people.When they get a chance they start asking questions like,'How to make a good CV','What are some of the questions asked during interviews','Can you get me a job or a connection of a job'...I must confess I find this ridiculous.What business does a millionaire have to do with the gimmicks that happen during interviews or to get jobs instead of making another million? I think it's only that they shy away from calling us stupid.It's like going to a spiritual leader to inquire about a medical condition or mortgage,they will only pray  and 'libainasaikayokutaichi' for us,but that's faith without action which is dead.

We throw parties to friends spend a few thousands for this,but has it ever crossed my mind to invite for lunch one of the many millionaires we have in town?Not that I will be trying to impress(any way what is there to impress them) but I'm just creating a network and life time changing lessons.They will feel honored if not humbled by your request and they will squeeze out the juices from them.

One day I spent an afternoon with a business mentor who has created a system that makes him money even when absent.when I asked him what he does with his time,he responded,'Thinking'. Who am I not to learn from those who have already made it and thought about what we are about to think.They are willing to show you how they've made it and how we too can make it.

But when we get that chance,let them not feel like we have wasted their precious time by asking questions one could have visited uncle Google or some HR experts.The questions below can help us reap more...

(1)How did you make your first million?
(2)How long did it take you?
(3)How long would it take today?
(4)What is the system used to grow wealth?
(5)Is the system transferable and how long would it take?
(6)The most important lesson you've learnt so far and mistakes made?
(7)What are spiritual values in your life?
(8)What legacy you want to leave?
(9)What are the most important habits to get there/
(10)What opportunities do you see?
...the list can be longer

Let's have a more open mind.
Have an awesome lunch with a millionaire,it will be a delicious I can assure you.

Part I:Son..Daddy Loves You.

Son, When I was a young boy,before teenage,there were things I missed doing and enjoying,but as a statement goes,what you don't know doesn't hurt you.I  didn't know what I missed until I got a chance to be a little bit older  and realized,"That must have been a fun and adventurous activity". Well,I enjoyed the freedom of doing anything I wanted to do as long as I wasn't going to bring trouble to the parents.I liked this.Unfortunately there wasn't exposure to do much,as I can see now and long for,if I had a chance.I blame no one for this,but I have resolved to give the best to you. It's a pity to see how many rushed into starting families and they were not able to sustain them. Their end up causing pains to innocent children via divorce,separations and all manner of violence. I want the best environment for you,one that will expose you and help you explore all you potential As I wrote down this thoughts,I hadn't met your mum,I was still ...

Goodbye Employment

Image
There comes a time when you have to make a choice between the ideal reality and the real reality. Every day we make  choices that will make us who we will be tomorrow.In fact our today is as a result of our yesterday choices and it goes without saying that our tomorrow will be as a result of today's choices. Some times back in my 3rd year of study in Campus my room mate asked me why I'm studying.Without much thinking I told him,'I'm studying to make myself unemployable'.I hadn't understood what's all the fuss over with employment but I can now guess a few things being faced with such a situation of whether to look for a job or not.Employment is secure because at the end of the month one is assured of a salary to foot off the bills.Job gives one a higher social status.It also offers a career growth. Having gone through the curriculum,one is faced with several alternatives;Get into trying their hand in business by applying the skills they learnt,Get a j...

Gentlemen Need this...Ladies Require too.

Sometimes back the concept of tall,dark,rough and handsome was very popular among ladies,whereas the figure eight was the,'wa-wa-wa' among men.It was a narrow perspective towards hooking up with ones partner but times have changed.The celebrities were hailed and everyone wished they were their fiance',but we all know how their  lives are behind the scenes and we dread it.Men were the providers of the house,but we live in a world where your woman could be earning more than you and retrenchment is a common scenario.Emphasis on equality places us almost on the same level. The enormous question is where has the focus shifted too? Young informed people are no longer viewing life from a 1D perspective but rather,in fact,they are only limited by 3D,they could dissect their partners to-be even further.When we realize that life has more than what we can see and feel,we get critical and approach it from a  wider angle.The earlier we realize this the better. So what are we sup...
