Issue No. 001 goes LIVE on Monday 15th February 2016

What if you could print your own money – anytime you need it? What if you developed the ability to be able to make the money you need come into your possession, wherever and whenever the need arises.

Many who practise the christian religion, and who read the bible may be familiar with the phrase “God will meet you at the point of your need”.

I was brought up in a strong christian home, and bible study was an activity strictly enforced by my parents – my father especually. That foundation was what exposed me to a lot of the “promises” that christians “claim” and pronouce in their frequent affirmations.

As I grew up however, especually during my 3rd to final year in the University, I saw A LOT of things that made me change my views about religion.

By the time I graduated, I’d chosen to carry out without formally practising any religion. Instead, I devoted myself to reading books to gain a better understanding of the difference I sensed existed between religion and spirituality.

The latter appealed to me greatly. I instinctiely felt it would better equip me to connect with the creator, by living my life in accordance with the universal laws setup by Him to reward us on earth.

Today, over 2 decades later, I have become proficient in doing just that, and the results I achieve in my personal and work related activities provide ample proof that I regularly use to back up my claims.

Especially noteworthy has been my “romance” with lack of money, that became full blown within 2 short years after I quit the security of paid employment in Guinness Nigeria, at the height of my career success, to pursue my long standing dream of being self-employment.

All through the 7 years I’d been in that company, I’d enjoyed rapid career advancement opportunities, with exciting salary remuneration. Money had never been a problem for me. As a bachelor, I did not womanize or drink.

Instead I spent most of my money on furnishing my apartment and acquiring self-development resources e.g. books, home study video CDs, attending seminars, traveling to other states/countries etc.

Saving was NEVER something I gave any thought to. Since another month;s salary always came in to plug the gaping hole from the last month’s thoughtless spending blitz. I was a driven career man who spared no expense in achieving his personal goals.

The goals were worthwhile, but I did not go about achieving them with PRUDENCE, especially with regard to my spending.

That habit would later cost me A LOT in my early startup years, to the point that I exhausted the funds I left Guinness with, under a year. Then the REAL test began. And that test went on for MANY years filled with prolonged periods of delays, disappointments and setbacks.

I just could not earn money enough. For a long time, I struggled to make even the smallest amount. But I dug in, and read far and wide, as many books as I could. The question I kept asking myself was how I could set my brand up to ensure I always earned new money, to add to what I already had, so as to NEVER run out of cash again.

That become an obsession for me, and I studied ALL the experts who gave even the slightest indication that they knew how to do that. Eventually I discovered books on passive income – especially those by Robert Kiyosaki.

And later I read one in which he talked about being able to print your own money. Then it clicked. I understood that I could make it happen for myself. But I also realized I would have to do something VERY different from what I had been doing before – and from what others in my field were doing.

Today, I DO print my own money. And I am highly frugal in spending it, so as to get more done, with less.

In other words, I have setup a system that enables me earn money on a regular basis even when I do NOT have ANY client project in hand; even when I am sleeping; or out with my kids. And in 2016, I’m taking it to the next level already.

And I have also developed a system to ensure I do not waste it.

However, I do not want to stop there. I also realize, as I’ve said in recent articles, that the Creator wants me to start giving back by helping others succeed like I’m doing. And that’s why I’m launching this Performance Improvement IDEAS newsletter as a replacement for my Speaking/Web Marketing IDEAS newsletter.

Starting next week, in Issue 001 of this new Performance Improvement IDEAS (PI Squared) newsletter, I’ll be sharing insights to help you do what you do better, especially in your ability to excel at what you do, and earn more in the process.

For those of you who want to really excel, I WILL end every issue with a formal invitation to signup for access to my Password Protected Performance Improvement audio-visual home study library of resources.

There, you will gain access to audios/videos and ebooks in which I spell out how I print my own money, and how you can do the same.

See you next week!
