2. Just a few thoughts to start with; I look at things this way > Are you aware about
the proportions of your earning Vs your spending daily, monthly? I guessed so. Now
ask yourself..
If you were lent 100,000($35) what would you do to double it in 10 hours?
If you were lent 17Million ($6300) what would you do to double it in 10 months?
If you were lent 90Million ($321,500) what would you do to double it in 18 months?
…very interesting & confusing! Which lane gets me there quickest & safest?
3. Ease that burden!
In this capitalist world it is important to
be cash-smart & take note of;
how many people Vs How many people owe
you owe money you money!
If this balance tips out of your favor,
fight/monitor it closely with all
your abilities & reverse the equation.

10. Learning perspectives;
• The Employee ; is given 30 fish at the end of the month (e.g. $500 salary). Is bossed
around irrespective of qualification.
Your Idle cash in bank is a great asset for borrowers(creative go-getters). Now think
about this; ..the first five months’ of your annual salary (i.e. Jan to May/July 41%) are
used just to pay taxes, loan installments, staff-group schemes & all other deductions.
• The Self Employed; learns to make a fish net to catch his own fish (e.g. can earn over
$10,000). Bosses self; they are very specialized (e.g. dentist, auditor) & do their work
best by themselves.
• The Business Man; learns to control the owners of large fish nets (e.g. can earn over
$50,000 monthly). Boss to his staff; to attain his ends seasonally. Has the second
highest “money-velocity”(i.e. the rate at which money makes more money)
• THE INVESTOR; learns how to own a whole lake full of various fish & manage expert
fishermen (e.g. can earn over $500,000 monthly). Oversees the management of
his lake(s). Has the highest “money-velocity”.

12. WHAT NOW?
…I like this quote;
"We always spend more than we
have, on things we don't actually
need, to show off to people who
don't care, trying to make
impressions that won't last”.
we have all the means but don't
know it's true meaning.
Your "Not-to-do" list is just
as important as your "To-do"
list.
