Today, I Want to Shatter a Table

You see, no matter how much you pray, a 2-liter cup cannot contain 10 liters of water.
A certain guy told me he wants to be billionaire & I asked if he had a strategy & his response was 'Yes, I'll keep doing what I am doing'. The gravitational pull of his response has left my jaw on the floor since then.
Let me explain - there are certain industries people operate in that by observation of precedence you can predict that they CANNOT BECOME BILLIONAIRES just by ONLY DOING their jobs.
This is not a curse before you throw stones. It is the ugly truth. There is clearly a mismatch between people's expectations & their daily operations.
Can I ask - How many billionaires has your industry produced?
Before you hastily answer - Not every wealthy person in your industry made their wealth from your industry. So do your proper research & ask questions.
Listen to me - What you do to MAKE money is not what you do to MULTIPLY money. Some of your references do OTHER things to MULTIPLY their money. They invest in financial instruments, they get endorsements or have another business.
So carefully observe the trend of YOUR INDUSTRY in YOUR ENVIRONMENT lest you build hopes on a none existent foundation!
Some GROUNDS are more fertile than others however, some FARMERS have sense enough to INJECT manure
In some industries, it is either you are INJECTING A NOVEL IDEA or you get more financial literacy to MULTIPLY your money.
Stop WAITING for the day something GRAND will happen or for God to send a HELPER to change your story. Smh. Can you use that ENERGY to ask him for a STRATEGY to your billions?
Finally, if your job depends on YOU being physically present, there is only so much of YOU that YOU can exchange for money. There is already a CAP to how much you can make UNLESS you;
1) Work through PEOPLE
2) Develop PRODUCTS & make them omnipresent using the internet or
3) Place the MEDIA on yourself/business
It would be f?o?l?l?y? wise to conclude that I "only" asked you to change i?n?d?u?s?t?r?y? strategy.
If you are on this table, I hope the impact of the fall jumpstarts your thinking.
