“Until we see what we are, we cannot take steps to become what we should become.” Charlotte P. Gilman
Women will do better if they really know better than they know right now. I mean know more about themselves. Women who are dependent on men don't really know themselves that they also have all it takes to produce the money they desire.
A woman was never created to depend on a man rather men are created to depend on women. But tradition and cultures in Africa has robbed women of their value and honor and instead of seeing value in themselves, they only see value when they are married. They see value in themselves only when a man is meeting their needs.
Women have come to believe that God has not given them the ability to create wealth. So the money their husbands make belong to them. What a trash! That is self delusion. Wake up woman if you believe that. You have been deceived. A man’s money is not your money.
A woman has as much right to create wealth as a man. That is why we created The Wealthy Woman program to teach women how they can create their own wealth. It is a 7 months program that trains women to be productive and enterprising so they can make their own money.
We also have a 7 weeks program we call The Influential Woman where we teach women to become great leaders in society. Women have all it takes to make money and make society better. When a woman finds her money, the society will get better.
Why depend on a man for what you can do? Each time you look up to a man for your upkeep, you look down on yourself. Each time you wait on a man to do things for you, you imprison your potential to do anything for you. Any man who does everything for you, will take everything from you.
How To Find Your Money
- Change Your Mindset
If your mind is set that men should always do things for you, then you have got a slave mentality. Slaves only think of how to receive and anything they give is out of obligation and servitude to the master. Change your mindset from that of a receiver to that of a giver.
Position yourself to give to your man instead of expecting him to give to you. When you give freely to your man, he will give much more back to you. Love doesn't depend, it gives. What is the proof of your love for yourself when you denigrate yourself by depending on man? There is no way you can truly love anyone if you don't first love yourself.
2. Grow Your Capacity
To find your money you have to grow your capacity. Your treasure is in your heart and the more you grow your capacity, the more light is shone in your heart to see what is there.
Women keep a lot of secrets and all that does to them is to cover up their wealth. They allow their bad experiences to bury their potential and wealth. If you grow your capacity, your finances will grow.
You don't have to pursue money, just work harder on yourself and you will find your money. If you imp[rove and get better, your income will grow and become better. Your money is depending on you to grow your capacity.
3. Meet the Needs of People
If you really want all your needs met, you will have to meet the needs of people. But in order to help people with their needs, you need to learn new skills. You need to differentiate between craft and skills.
Tailoring, baking and so on are crafts while leadership, communications and so on are skills. The craft will bring you some income with much effort, but skills will make you a fortune with less effort. To learn more skills so you can be able to help more people with their needs.
