January 17, 2017 - 29 Ways To Increase Your Earnings In 2017: Investment

By God’s grace, I am working on turning my teaching in 2015 to a book entitled: “INVESTMENT MYSTERIES” to bless the globe at large. People need to understand and work as regards their understanding about investment for their future to be guaranteed and better than yesterday and present. 

One of the major secrets of an increase in earnings is INVESTMENT. It is hard to engage in but it is profitable when you do. This is not a religious or denominational rule, partakers are beneficiaries. Many people who should have retire from work, cannot because they have failed to invest yesterday not because their salary is meager or their boss is unfriendly. 

There are many definitions for investment but it is the understanding that matters and the doing that is profitable. You need to grab the understanding and become partakers of investment so that you will be comfortable tomorrow. 

Investment connotes taking out to put into something worthwhile for increase. Your investment will not require only your money but everything within you, if indeed; you are looking forward to smiling benefits ahead. 

Reasons Why People Don’t Invest

1.       Complain Of Insufficiency: People are fond of complaining of insufficiency of cash, forgetting that it is a fool that spends all because nothing was coming in before that cash started coming in and you were surviving.

2.       Excess Expenses: Financial illiteracy can make a slave of any man till he is buried. On no account should you make your expenses exceed your income, it throws such a man to become a beggar.

3.       Fear Of Risk: People are always pessimistic, they have become victim of fear because they have failed to study, make research, calculate what they want to invest in. 

4.       Present Comfort: Many people are ready to sell their future for today. Pleased to be comfortable today and discomforted tomorrow. 

5.       Lack Of Discipline: Discipline is the soul of not only business but prosperity also. People who have access into prosperity weren’t denied because of the key titled DISCIPLINE, which was with them.

6.       Shortsightedness: Some haven’t been investing because they are shortsighted when it comes to issues of life. They grab investment with levity and it slips off their hands over and over again. 

7.       Wrong Company: Birds of the same feather flock together. Wrong company birth wrong results. Investment in scarce in the company of wrong people. 

8.       Salary Mentality: Most of people who are salary earners are fond of relying on their salary payment, the best many of them do is to see how to build their house for fifteen years, just to ensure that they have a building before retirement. They are so relaxed because they are sure of their end of the month pay. 

9.       Ego Boosting: Some people aren’t investing because they boost their ego even in a present world, when and where people aren’t ready to see you with your ego; instead you get them angry when you think you are boosting your ego. 

Reasons Why You Should Invest

1.       Increase: Especially if you can invest for long term purpose, your increase will be in cumulative order.

2.       Financial Freedom: Investment is a key to the world of financial freedom. If you want to have in abundance today, save to invest for increase. 

3.       Lineage Liberation: Your investment in diverse area is potent to liberate your lineage from the yoke of seeking for employment. 

4.       Savings: Your investment stands as savings because you have set it aside for a special purpose. 

5.       Collateral: It can always serve as collateral to you either now or later. The more you invest, the more you are increasing your collateral status.

6.       Opportunity: You can always grab opportunities, if you are an addicted investor. You just need to ask for a few time, with assurance that there is something you can fall back on. 

7.       Retirement: If you aren’t sacked, you didn’t resign, your employed company didn’t fold up, relocate or whatever reason, you will surely be asked to retire, even if you don’t want to retire. Days are coming when your strength cannot deliver the expected productivity. You need to start investing, so that you can have something to play around with during that time. 

8.       Unforeseen Events: There are days of unforeseen events that any wise one must prepare for. I am not talking about evil days, I am talking about days that some people have fashion out your disgrace and shame, your investment can secure from such acts.
