How to Join the Billionaires Club

Virtually every person out there wants to be classified amongst the rich; everybody wants that comfort and security that come with financial freedom. Nobody wants to remain broke; little wonder people toil endlessly in a bid to be engaged in one form of job, services, or another. But the most heartbreaking end of a good number of career-minded persons is their inability to retire with fortune. Most people, after a very long and tortuous career journey, end up retiring sad, depressed and dejected. The disappointment of unfulfilled dreams and aspirations becomes so overwhelming leading to suicide in some cases. Some, who could not summon the courage to end their lives, take to alcohol and drugs often times. What would have been a very happy retirement usually turns to a nightmare. However, permit me to say that this is as a result of people’s inability to dare the consequences and come out of their ‘perceived’ comfort zones with a view to being independent in a seemingly risk-filled world of business. They forget that those who fear to dare dare to fail.

          Over the years, history has shown that those with unique ideas rule the world. Joining the billionaires club is as easy as saying “Jack.” However, it does come with some effort and responsibility. Often time people spend the better part of their youthful lives working themselves up over the frustrations of life, instead of engaging in creative and innovative thinking with a view to birthing a solution-based and value-adding brands or products that will ultimately catapult them from the abyss of financial quagmire to the paradise of financial freedom. The fact is that, it will be more difficult for a paid employee to retire a billionaire than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. In short, it is impossible.

          To find yourself up there among the billionaires, you must be creative and innovative. You must be ready to be your own boss. You must be financially intelligent. You must look around you and leverage on prevailing circumstances around to create wealth. You must think with a global mindset. Creating global solution-based and value-adding products and services is the surest way to launch you to the top. The likes of Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Aliko Dangote, Louis Vuitton, Mark Zuckerberg, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John Jacob Astor, JK Rowling, et alia all made it to the billionaires club because of their innovative inventions, creativity, sound financial intelligence, and fearlessness. They were determined to step out of their comfort zones with a view to becoming financially free. In the same vein, the new entrants in the billionaires club, Jan Koum and Brian Acton, whose mobile messaging application WhatsApp was recently acquired by Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook on 19 February 2014, to the tune of $19 billion, would not have found themselves up there on the billionaires list if not for their creativity in creating a global solution-based and value-adding messaging App such as WhatsApp.

          You can make it if only you can dare to be an entrepreneur. However, do not expect the road to the top to be hitch-free. You don’t have any excuse not to make it to the top. Tap into your creative potential and register your name in the good book of history. You have no excuse not to succeed. If Steve Jobs could start off at the garage in his family house and later build the Apple™ brand into a global force alongside his friend Steve Wozniak, then you can do it. If Mark Zuckerberg could drop out of school when he was suspended from College and later become one of the world’s youngest billionaire, courtesy of his innovative brand Facebook™, then you can do it. There are a whole lot of success stories out there to inspire you into creative thinking. You can join the billionaires club if only you can think, having the global market in mind. So if you don’t want to keep being financially dependent, if you don’t want to retire frustrated, if you must be financially free, then you have one thing to do – dare to be an entrepreneur. There are still a lot of untapped areas out there. Search for those areas and key in. Look around you and change your life.
