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 Sphere

Photograph by Elena Saavedra Buckley. Once when I was about twelve I was walking down the dead-end road in Albuquerque where I grew up, around twilight with a friend. Far beyond the end of the road was a mountain range, and at that time of evening it flattened into a matte indigo wash, like a mural. While kicking down the asphalt we saw a small bright light appear at the top of the peaks, near where we knew radio towers to occasionally emit flashes of red. But this glare, blinding and colorless, grew at an alarming rate. It looked like a single floodlight and then a tight swarm beginning to leak over the edge of the summit. My friend and I became frightened, and as the light poured from the crest, our murmurs turned into screams. We stood there, clutching our heads, screaming. I knew this was the thing that was going to come and get me. It was finally going to show me the horrifying wiring that lay just behind the visible universe and that was inside of me too. And then, a couple se

The Rejection Plot

Print from Trouble , by Bruce Charlesworth, a portfolio which appeared in The Paris Review in the magazine’s Fall 1985 issue. Rejection may be universal, but as plots go, it’s second-rate—all buildup and no closure, an inherent letdown. Stories are usually defined by progress: the development of events toward their conclusions, characters toward their fates, questions toward understanding, themes toward fulfillment. But unlike marriage, murder, and war, rejection offers no obstacles to surmount, milestones to mark, rituals to observe. If a plot point is a shift in a state of affairs—the meeting of a long-lost twin, the fateful red stain on a handkerchief—rejection offers none; what was true before is true after. Nothing happens, no one is materially harmed, and the rejected party loses nothing but the cherished prospect of something they never had to begin with. If the romance plot sets up an enticing question—Will they or won’t they? — the rejection plot spoils everything upfront:

On the Distinctiveness of Writing in China

Yan Lianke at the Salon du Livre, 2010. Photograph by Georges Seguin, via Wikimedia Commons . Licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 DEED . When I talk to non-Chinese readers like yourselves, I often find that you are interested in hearing about what distinguishes me as an author but also what distinguishes my country—and particularly details that go beyond what you see on the television, read about in newspapers, and hear about from tourists. I know that China’s international reputation is like that of a young upstart from the countryside who has money but lacks culture, education, and knowledge. Of course, in addition to money, this young upstart also has things like despotism and injustice, while lacking democracy and freedom. The result is like a wild man who is loaded with gold bullion but wears shabby clothing, behaves rudely, stinks of bad breath, and never plays by the rules. If an author must write under the oversight of this sort of individual, how should that author evaluate, discu
