NEEDS

Have you ever wonder what to do that can make you to become financially free? Well I think one of the things you can do is to start knowing that human beings need something and they will always pay to get that thing. Last year it was estimated that the American population spent over three trillion dollars on retail goods and there are tendencies that they are still going to spend more in years to come. Human needs is not limited the fact remains that humans will always and will continue to need something and the more things they need the more money they will be willing to spend.
So to become financially free you have to be able to meet the needs of people. You can start by looking around you and locating needs that have not been met, there are two types of needs there are;
(a) The conscious needs i.e. needs people are aware of and that could be anything
(b) Unconscious needs i.e. needs people are not aware of, for instance everybody needed an aircraft but they nobody thought of it until the Wright brothers created one same also is the computer, telephone and other inventions.
The likes of mark zuckerberg, bill gates and other wealthy people understood this principle and with that they were rewarded with enormous wealth. The surest way to get financially ahead is by serving people and meeting their need for a profit after all the big firms claim to serve you and in return you pay them, so also you can also meet the need of people and in return they compensate you with MONEY.

REAL WEALTH

Have you ever asked yourself what money really is? You see one of the greatest undermining factor undermining the development of the world is the vague belief held by most people on the subject of wealth and riches, most people today in the world think wealth is having so much paper asset well, sorry to disappoint you, you are wrong. Real wealth are asset that produce(s) money, real wealth are like machines that keeps on producing or you can say vomiting money. So to build real wealth you have to understand these assets.
So in building wealth you have to take into consideration these assets as against paper money because paper money can be mutilated, destroyed or even cancelled but asset can not be destroyed because asset are the real wealth not the papers. So how do you secure your financial future? I think it is by investing in real wealth, and what is real wealth? Well the following two can be classified as real wealth.
(a) Creative ideas.
Ideas they say rule the world most people never know that the great billionaires are guys who understand that money is a product of their ideas not the paper stored in the bank, after all the likes of bill gates, mark zuckerberg and even Steve jobs never worked in a bank. Then how come they are so wealthy? Well pals they are guys who have ideas about a new innovation, products and services and they turn this product into a money machine that keeps on producing plenty money. In fact I think one of the surest ways to become truly wealthy is by tapping into the power of your spirit or your creative ingenuity to create financial stream. You may think you are not as gifted as bill gates well, I think you are wrong because God created with something all you just have to do is look deep within yourself and find that thing because that is the secret to your wealth.

(b) Investment.
Another real wealth machine is investment. There are lots of things you can invest in you can invest in shares, bonds, funds, real estate or any other investment vehicle. These assets keep on making you money either day or night. All you have to do is to carry out your ground work and talk to financial experts so as to know the right investment to make. And really I think this is the best time to invest because stocks and other securities are a bit low now so you can buy at a cheap price and hold till the price starts coming up and then you sell.

Real wealth are anything that can stand the test of time and can easily be converted into paper money anytime. Most of the worlds currency is backed up by Gold and gold overtime has been able to stand the test of time. That in my own view is the real wealth.

HOW TO TURN YOUR HOBBIES AND PASSIONS INTO A FINANCIAL STREAM.

There are lots of opportunities for business startups but the best place to discover a business opportunity you can easily start is by looking into your hobbies, passions and likes.
Hobbies are what you like to do and this could be sporting activity, reading or traveling while passions are what arouse your interest. You can easily tap into this to kick start your business. Everybody has at least two or more hobbies and we are all passionate for something even if it is eating or sleeping according to Dan Kennedy. You can easily turn them into a financial channel.

You have to discover a target market for your products for instance if you are a writer you can channel your writing skills into what you are passionate about it can be sports, relationships or finance and then look for people who really need your write ups in your targeted market, as a writer who write on relationship you can target married couples or even youth and channel whatever you are writing to them.

(C) Turn your hobbies into business: turn your hobbies into a business venture. Are you passionate about discovering talents why can’t you set up a talent discovery firm or are you music freak you can set up a recording label to produce singers. There is nothing you can’t turn into a business venture, discover your true passion, discover who need it and set up a firm to meet the need.
