You must learn this truths before you become rich

6 truths you must learn before you become rich

I am not rich yet I am learning these principles and have decided to share them with you. 

It is best that you know these truths now, while you are still working your way up the ladder so you will be better prepared when you get to your destination. 

1. Know what makes you happy

If you are waiting to become rich before you become happy then you will be one hallow, rich woman. Happiness does not come from wealth. It is what you use the wealth for that makes you happy. Until you find a worthwhile reason to be rich, you will just have money for nothing. 

2. Value people

Relationships are currencies in their own right, more valuable than actual money. Treat everyone you meet with respect and preserve the right relationships.

3. Humility 

It is not meant for the poor. If you have a stinking attitude now, you limit your chances of becoming wealthy. Even if you do, you would be a rich woman no one wants to have anything to do with (except to cheat you, perhaps). Pride will push you to prove a point to other by buying things you don't need. 

4. Understand financial intelligence 

Being prosperous doesn't mean you throw it around anyhow. Be frugal, learn how to save and invest wisely. You will need it to maintain your wealth.

5. Be hardworking 

Those who work hard never lack bread. It might take a while in coming but it will always come. When hard work is ingrained in you now, it will never leave you after you attain wealth, e.g. Mrs. Alakija or Mo Abudu.

6. Understand influence 

With wealth comes some level of power. People will want to be like you so build yourself up to be a woman of substance, and not just materially so that you can impact positively on others.
