FROM MY MAIL: REASONS YOU ARE NOT YET A MILLIONAIRE

Hello Sly,

It's been a while since I wrote you.

Today, I want to give you some short tips
on the reasons why many people are still
struggling and not yet millionaires.

Here are the reasons I came up with.

1. Too Afraid To Take Calculated Risks

Not giving opportunity a chance. Many people
are risk averse, and not willing to take
up opportunities because of fear of losing money.

It's always a better choice to seek out opportunities
in whatever form and take it up.

Instead of allowing the fear of losing money hold
you down from moving ahead financially, I would advise
you to have this mentality...

"Take Risks, if you win and become successful in the
process, you will be happy; if you lose, you will have
learnt one way not to lose again"

Learn from your mistakes in opportunities, and you
will win the next time.

If you don't take risks, you won't be able to learn
these success secrets hidden in failure.

2. Not Knowing How To Sell Anything

You see making money is very easy if you know how
to sell.

If you want to become a millionaire in the nearest
future, master the art of selling.

And when it comes to the internet, selling becomes
easier. Even a shy person who fears selling can do
so seamlessly online.

What does it take to become a millionaire selling
products?

If you can sell a product and make a profit of
N10,000 per unit sold, all you need to make
a million Naira per month is selling 100 units.

If you can sell 50 units per month, that is N500,000
per month.

If you continue at this pace and do it successfully
for 6 - 12 months, you're already a millionaire as
you would have netted a total profit of 3 - 6 million
in that period of time.

And to sell 50 units of a product per month requires
that you build an email list of just 2,000 people and
convert only 2.5% of it to buyers.

This is very easy to do, if you know what you're doing.

Many people can convert up to 7% from the same list in
a 3 - 4 month period.

3. Depending On One Source of Income

If you have a salary job, and that is the only
source of income for you, you're sitting on a
ticking time bomb.

If your boss offers you a sack letter, you're income
stops immediately.

As a wise person, it's always good to have a plan B,
and Plan C, if any of your income sources dries up.

If you rely on only one income source, your chances
of becoming a millionaire is slim to none.

It's time to wisen up, and create a secondary revenue
channel.

Brainstorm on ideas for extra revenue stream.

Here are few options you can consider...Write a book and sellTry consulting services for what you know how to doOpen a side business, online or offlineCreate services you can offer to peopleYou see, as long as you're guilty of any/all
of these 3 reasons, becoming a millionaire will
be a problem for you.

In our current economy, more than ever before,
it's now an absolute necessity to have a secondary
income stream.

That's my tips for you today. I hope you find it
helpful.

Speak soon,

Joe Okoro

The Beautiful Faraway: Why I’m Grateful for My Soviet Childhood

At 10 I wanted to be an artist, practiced a hysterical form of Christianity, talked to trees, and turned a sunset at a local park into a visionary experience. My great-aunt lured me to Evangelical Christianity with the strangeness of Gospel stories where Jesus always ended up angry at his disciples’ failure to understand. I sympathized with being misunderstood, and latched on. Besides, Christianity was a forbidden fruit in Soviet Russia so I had to worship in secret. This was unnerving but also alluring. I was a breathless romantic who wanted to be surprised by a knight on a white horse. From the early ‘80s to the early ‘90s, my childhood was formed by the images, atmosphere, and allusiveness of Soviet songs. I grew up in an artistic family where emotions flew high. I was the kind of imaginative child who could spin an entire tale from an oblong stain on the kitchen table. But there’s more to it than that. My family was not always idealistic or romantic, especially not in New York in...

Philistines

Welcome to Disney World! Photograph courtesy of Wikimedia Commons. 1. Once I had to go to Disney World with my small children. On the way to the airport our taxi driver exhibited signs of Obsessive Disney Disorder—when he found out where we were going he started obsessively describing and listing and explaining everything that had to do with Disney World, even though he was a grown man. We stayed at the Portofino Bay Hotel, a Disney-owned property that is a replica of the storied village on the Italian Riviera. There were imitation Renaissance churches and Mediterranean piazzas clustered around a fake harbor with old Fiats parked on the cobblestones and fishing boats moored in the fake bay. Outside cafés ranged on the harbor, serving espresso under green-and-white striped awnings. Italian cypresses were planted along the pools. If you didn’t know it was a Disney replica of a real place, it would have to be characterized as being extremely tasteful and lovely. So you did tend to ge...

Portrait of the Philosopher as a Young Dog: Kafka’s Philosophical Investigations

Nicolas Gosse and Auguste Vinchon, Cynic philosopher with his dog (1827). Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons . Franz Kafka’s story “Investigations of a Dog” might be retitled “Portrait of the Philosopher as a Young Dog.” In any event, Kafka did not assign a title to the story, which he left unpublished and unfinished. It was Max Brod who named it Forschungen eines Hundes , which could also be translated as “Researches of a dog,” to give it a more academic ring. But the term investigations has its fortuitous resonances in the history of modern philosophy. The dog’s investigations belong to a great line of theoretical endeavors, like Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations , with its retinue of animals, dogs included; or Husserl’s Logical Investigations , which launched his new science of consciousness, phenomenology; or Schelling’s Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom , even more to the point since this is how the dog’s investigations end, with the ...
