MONEY

The goal of all entrepreneurs is to service a want or desire. If you can find out want your market wants or needs, the money will come into your hands. What is money? Memorize this acronym:

M- My brand

O- Own the message

N-Natural emotion

E-Energy in product

Y- Yield profits

FOCUS

As an entrepreneur, we will have to be cook, bottle washer, and waiter in the early stages. However, you must have mini goals for each position or everything will be pointless. For example, if my goal is to open a culture center for the community, one must be focused. Otherwise, the project cannot be achieved. We have to develop relationships with others.

 We choose our partnerships carefully to be in harmony. As visionaries we belong to a specific community and our closest fellowships should be on the same accord. Mavericks must never forget our objectives; we are innovators for the futures. What is the definition of focus: 

*Follow 

*One

* Course

* Unit

* Successfully

How can you create wealth?

What is wealth? Is it a salary? Is it an income? From an economics perspective it is all things that have a monetary or exchange value, as well as anything that has utility and is capable of being appropriated or exchanged. Many people wonder what the best way to attain wealth. Well, here are some ways to acquire it:

1.       Have a sound framework on what are your interests.

2.       Own a few high quality business

3.       Use other people’s money prudently

4.       Have a long term investment strategy

They are other types of wealth such as health, good family and true friends. They don’t have a monitory price but just as valuable. To maintain or obtain those intangibles, keep the following in mind:

1.       Time is valuable, use it wisely

2.       Integrity is everything

3.       Physical presence carries more weight than a phone call or an email

4.       Be humane; treat others how you want to be treated for bad karma will visit you.
