The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or in the help of others; it is in yourself alone.

- Orison Swett Marden

Maynas once pondered upon the list of billionaires year after year ever since in his youth when he took an interest into knowing more about the world around him. At a tender age, he had thought to himself, "How did these people become billionaires?" and he went to ask his mentor, Rufus. Rufus has since passed on in Maynas’ latter years, but his lessons went deep into Maynas’ eager learning mind and this was what he taught about wealth.

A great many people for hundreds of years have always believed that the grass is greener on the other side, that’s what prompted a great mass of people to migrate great distances. They have thought that they were going to a place where gold can be found literally on the streets.

There’s a story of two young cobblers from two neighbouring countries meeting each other at the crossroad of the borders. Upon a friendly short conversation, they realized that they are actually migrating to each other’s country because they have thought that it is going to be better place to make more money in. Surely both can’t be right at the same time, could one of them be wrong? We can’t judge from that but we can learn something from here, it’s all a matter of prospective most of the time. Let’s look further.

Two shoes salesmen went to a poor country for a market research for their companies. The first came back and screamed in anger, " That was a total waste of my time! NO ONE WEAR SHOES THERE! Let’s keep out of the market." The other salesman came back beaming with an aura of contagious excitement that his whole office gathered around him eagerly as he announced, "We MUST go there right away! NO ONE WEAR SHOES THERE! We can particularly sell lots of shoes to everyone so that they won’t hurt their feet anymore! Let’s waste no time." This is a common story that has been told countless of time for the general public, but there is a twist of the story at the end for entrepreneurs.

The story continues that the second salesman immediately went on to write a proposal to his company that he is willing to take the risk to start his own company in the country where no one wear shoes. He fought for the exclusive rights to promote the brand of shoes in that country so that no one else later on can sell the same kind of shoes he plans to sell in the near future. The boss, delighted at the proposal because he could be spared of the burden in starting a new company in a foreign country and also being able to promote their shoes to other countries for both goodwill and reputation of helping the needy, agreed on the spot. The rest was history, the second salesman became his own boss and within the first two years, he had made enough money that he could choose to retire at the tender age of 28. It was said that the fire was still in his belly and although he did left the operations of his shoe business eventually, he was then well equipped with capital and went on to build businesses that could help people, be it shoes, soap or anything. His measure of his success is the money he made, for he knows that the more money he made, it meant that the more people he has helped.

Millionaires are not often well known, there are plenty around, all it takes is the courage and foresight to spot an opportunity. There is always a risk involved. If there’s no risk involved, when do you think it will be your turn to learn of it? Most opportunities are there because someone else chose not to take it for the fear of risk. You only need to be right one time to open a whole door of possibilities. Calculate your risk well, learn to take small risks and when the big one comes along, snap it up with the pair of chopsticks you have grown skilled at using.

Money making is a skill just like using a pair of chopsticks. At first, one can’t even pick a piece of meat up. But with skills which levels up over a certain number of times in training, one is able to pick up even a grain of rice each and every time. If there is no one to teach you how to use a pair of chopsticks, find somewhere where you can learn it from, if you still can’t find one, create your own style of using the pair of chopsticks so long as you can pick things up.

Pick the food up piece by piece using your skills in using the chopsticks through your mouth into your stomach until you are full. Make your profit piece by piece using your skills in money making through your business into your assets until you are financially free. From there on, a new life begins.

In times of peace, it is of paramount importance for one to protect his or her family. When the need arises, we will seek to protect those close to us outside our immediate family, our friends and relatives, within the best of our abilities. We have an invisible barrier circling “us” against those we do not know and whom are strangers to us.

A willing man who has financial difficulties to provide for his family, will be unlikely to help people beyond his first circle of protection. An unwilling man who is capable to help those beyond his first circle will be unlikely to do so as it is not to his interest to help others beyond that.

BeRichGuide.com vision is be help the willing man be capable enough to go beyond his first circle of protection, to help as many people as possible. We will impart the skills necessary to become rich.

THE TOPIC OF MONEY

In a world whereby the topic of money is taboo within the family and friends, the inevitable question will appear in our minds ever once in a while…why become rich? Is money evil? Is that why it seems that so many around us seem biased against those who are richer than them? Is that why so many stories have been written about misers and rich people who are stingy with their money? Do you remember Uncle Scrooge? The rich but lonely and sad person…

Nothing could be further than the truth.

In contrast, many notable researchers have examined the lives of those who are rich, millionaires and billionaires to be exact. Although the rich but lonely and sad person does exist in the real world, they are not common.

It has been noted that the rich live considerably comfortable and fulfilling lives. But could their happiness be achieved without the successful culmination of that much wealth in the first place? It is anyone’s guess, but it is certain that without the financial burden of struggling to survive on their own or to support their families, life has one less major worry off their shoulders.

IS MONEY IMPORTANT?

Basically speaking, in the modern world, money is a form of paper currency to trade for exchange of commodities such as food, water and electricity. It has a value fixed upon it. The more we have of money, the better we are able to exchange it for the things we need and want more easily.

To the common world, money is used to exchange for convenience. For if a person has no money to buy food, he still has the choice to find or grow some to satisfy his hunger, only that it will take much longer to do so than to just grab a loaf of bread from a supermarket shelf. If he can’t pay for electricity, he still can survive with the use of it.

“Money is to make things happen, to exchange for the time and effort of others so that we can carry on doing what we want to do. Just remember, in the whole world, the concept of money is that only humans accept it in exchange for anything. Most other animals have no use for paper and metal since they can’t be eaten.” - Maynas Chua (Eric)

THE NEED TO BECOME RICH

It is a fact that even though money is not absolutely essential for our survival, it remains true that it is not possible for people in the modern world to live a successful and complete life unless he holds some wealth and is rich.

No one can rise to his or her fullest potential without having enough money to free himself of unnecessary efforts that do not comply to his goals. Taking for example, Henry Ford will not be able to manufacture so many cars by himself if he did not have the money to buy expensive machinery and hire people to not only invent, but to build and also sell the cars. He has freed himself from much of the work so that he can focus on achieving his fullest potential on his ability to build systems to get things done. Henry Ford is the “Master Mind”, the one who makes systems work through his distribution of money to make more money and to achieve what he set out to do. To let more people enjoy the benefits of owning a car.

Throughout the history of mankind, people who have been deemed as very successful in life are often people who had the courage and capable enough to develop their potential with the “Master Mind” within themselves. Can Thomas Edison , Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford achieve what they had in their lifetimes if they are not wealthy? I will believe not so.

The modern world has become so organised that if man wishes to possess more of things and to employ a greater number of manpower to buy the time of others to multiply his efforts, he must first, be rich. The richer you are, the more capable of doing more of the things you can get done through the efforts of others.

No matter how gifted you are, remember that one person alone cannot change the world. You will need the help and support of many others, the bigger the change you want to see, the greater the size of wealth you will need.

It is clear now that if you are serious about making a change to the world and to develop your potential to the best of your abilities. The first and most important skill that you must possess, is the ability to make money, to first relieve yourself of lifelong financial burdens and next, to be able to use money to hasten the speed of things that you want to be done, to be able to make full use of available technology, brains or brawn.

BeRichGuide.com serves to provide the knowledge to obtain this skill to make money to be rich enough so that you can also reach your full potential.

Becoming an Entrepreneur is the most direct route to go, if you are planning to Change the World. Because somewhere in your journey to make things happen, you are going to need lots of money. And not many people will give if to you because it hasn’t happen yet.Identifying this barrier later on in your life’s mission early makes the Entrepreneur Journey a necessary path to take. Things happen much faster if you have less financial constrains.Entrepreneurship is a choice open to all, so why do people embrace it in the first place?

American Express study

A research from a American Express study in 2007 shows that

• Biggest influence in becoming an entrepreneur is passion (38%)
• Followed distantly by natural entrepreneurial inclination (20%)
• Being “born into it”(18%)

Passion is something hard to describe, it seems to be something you like to do and want to keep on doing. Natural entrepreneurial inclination, frankly speaking, I think 20% is an understatement.

To me, being “born into it” and “Natural entrepreneurial inclination” are roughly referring to the same thing with a slight difference. When we add this 20% and 18% together, we get 38%, the same percentage as the biggest influence “passion”.

(Sometimes, big words have good visual effects but quite often it clutters the brain in getting the real message behind)
In simple English bare to the bones, it translates to me as the two biggest reasons why people choose to become Entrepreneurs is because

• They like what they are doing
• They feel they should do it

“To do what you want to do because you feel you should do it”. As simple as this may sound, I can ensure you that this is not a easy task to fulfil. In later chapters, you will find out about the various stages in life in which is best and worst for making this decision to venture out on your own instead of working for someone else for a steady monthly paycheck. For now, let’s concentrate on the start of the journey.

Not for Money?

Notice that there is no mention on the motivation of becoming rich in the above study, does it mean that becoming an Entrepreneur is not all about getting rich?

Far from it, even if it is a survey, the psychological effect of the supposedly “taboo” subject of money in the public will still be present. If this was a truly honest survey, I would estimate the motivation of becoming rich or at least richer than they could have been in a 9 to 5 job, to be around 70%.

Personal Experience

The most common reason amongst the people whom I know when asked what would be the most motivating factor that they will make the switch to become an entrepreneur is that they hate their 9 to 5 jobs and just want to do something on their own.

And why haven’t they started doing it? An astounding number gave the reason “not having enough capital and experience.” I know how the feeling is like. I was there before, giving the same reasons until I decided to finally step out into it. A quote comes to mind, “Before one started to make the first step, he or she will never feel ready for what lays ahead. Just Do It.”

The Feeling before an Exam

Have you always felt ready before you entered the examination room to take your paper?

If you are like most of us, there is always something that you felt you should have studied for or to recap before taking the exam. There is fear…until you have actually put pen to paper and completed the paper. This is almost the same feeling, overcome your need to feel ready because one can never feel truly ready enough until they have tried and done it.

Learn to Swim

” The fastest way to learn to swim is to jump straight into a swimming pool. Just be sure a life guard is nearby. It is still the easiest way to get drowned.

The second way is to read up on how to swim and practise the motion on your living room floor. Just be sure no one sees you.

The smart entrepreneur reads about swimming, practises his strokes then jumps into the pool with a life guard around.

How To Get Rich

Felix is one of Britain’s Wealthiest Self made Entrepreneurs as written on the cover of his book “ How To Get Rich“.

There are few books that touched my heart as deeply as Felix’s book, in one of the section of his book which talks about the most precious thing in life that riches can supply, he wrote.

“Time, Time to read and write poetry if I want to. Or to write a book if it takes my fancy. Time to travel on the slightest whim, to walk in the woods, to think, to commission art, to read, to drink, to hang out with friends and loved one ..to do just about anything really, as long as it does not involve day after grinding day making money in an office or a factory for somebody else. That’s what money can do…”

Words written by a true entrepreneur.

Time in relation to a Job

When it comes to age, this truth will become more and more obvious to us. The fact that the skill of making the best use of time within the 24 hours which everyone is allocated is the most important one that we MUST improve.

If you have ever been in a 9 to 5 job In your working life, do you notice how many hours you spent in the office?

Hours you have in your day: 24 - 8 = 16 hours left

How about overtime if you are a busy professional ? Let’s say 3 hours, knocking off at 8pm rather than your usual 5pm.

Hours you have in your day: 16 - 3 = 13 hours left

How about the time you take to wake up, travel to and fro? Being “alarmed” by your alarm clock at 7.30am, brush your teeth, shower, get ready for work, leave the house at 8am to catch the 8.15 or 30am bus ( train or driving). All these to reach your workplace just on time at 9am. After that, another 45 minutes back. That’s 2 hours in total gone.

Hours you have in your day: 13 - 2 = 11 hours left (if OT)

Shower and dinner when you are back ? 1 hour.

Hours you have in your day: 11 - 1 = 10 hours left

A normal person needs 8 hours of sleep everyday, so if you count in that as well…

Hours you have in your day: 10-8 = 2 hours left

So what can you do in your 2 hours of free time when you have overtime work? Your free time would be from around 9pm to 11pm. If you are lucky not to have overtime, then your free time would start from around 6pm. Day in, day out.

Weekends

If you are lucky enough to not work weekends, that’s great. For the rest of us, weekends are still work days, even if not, we can be called back anytime if required, which seems oddly more frequent than it seems to be. I know, I have spent nights over in the office during the weekends before, sometimes even alone. It’s a very bad feeling, even if you like your job. When you know you could have spent this amount of time with your loved ones or to do the things you like, exercise or a hobby.

Yes, time is everything.

Business in relation to a Job

When you have that little time available after all the hours you spent working for someone else, where in the world can you find enough time to set up your own business? It’s sounds very unlikely when people tell us they are setting up a business when you know they are spending 7 days in the office working for someone else. Maybe they can, but unlikely.

Capital and Experience

Many people at this stage will pray and hope that they are able to one day make enough money to finally have the capital to start their own business. When it comes to experience, this only counts as much as the relationship between your job and how much alike it is to your business. For example, having 20 years of experience as a baker aren’t going to help much if he wants to start an engineering firm.

What are the odds of a business succeeding? The famous “9 out of 10 businesses fail” within the first year. What is lesser known is that the few “1 out of 10 business” which survived the first year, most will fail too. What are the usual results of failing in a business? The capital which has been saved up for so many years would have gone down the drain. Some even go into debts and much worse. What if they already have a young family? What about if there are people in the family who need expensive medical attention? What if, what if?

So how do we counter this undesirable ending so as to avoid “losing the years of building up captial” ? The solution? Start small using the right business structure, fail more, learn more…

more on that in the next part of this 3 part series.

THE REASON TO MAKE MONEY

To some, this chapter will be the least useful chapter in the whole book, to others; this will be the most meaningful chapter. This chapter will not teach you how to make money, so if you choose to, you can skip this chapter. If you are adventurous enough to venture on this self seeking journey in the last chapter, you will not be disappointed.

This is where most of us are different, “Why do you want to be make money?” At first glance, this may seem different from the question “Why do you want to be Rich?” Are they really different? Anyway, how rich is rich to you? What is your own definition of being rich? Sports car, nice houses, the most high end and expensive clothes fit for a king or queen?

For myself, being rich is to have enough passive income so I can concentrate on my research in tackling the problem of Global Warming and Climate change, going towards my ambitions and dreams, spending as much time as I can with my family and loved ones, travelling, all these without worrying about money.

The key word here is “concentrate” and “time”, money can buy you time to have others do the most time consuming work for you that otherwise you have to do yourself. Don’t think too over the top here, a few examples I am referring to is just housework like washing clothes and dishes, cooking, ironing, no need to worry about taxi/cab charges and some other stuff. Simple stuff, which if you do not need to put it at the back of your mind, you can most definitely have more focus and time for doing things you really wanted to do. This is more or less what I can tell about what I want to do, what about you?

Research shows that 7 or 8 out of 10 people do not know and can’t tell you what they want out of their lives when asked the question, “What do you want to accomplish in life?” Seriously, it is a simple yet difficult question to answer for some. Not many people really have given a serious thought to answering this question, which seriously is one of the most important questions to answer in life. It is not optional, it is mandatory.

As a parting gift, I invite you to write down the answer these two questions.

Q1) What do you want to accomplish in your Life?

——————————————————————————————————

Q2) How much money EXACTLY do you need to make above answer easier?

——————————————————————————————————

It’s ok to have more than one answer to each question, what is most important is that you KNOW the answers to above.

When some people tell you that there are no short cuts in life, ask them what GPS systems are designed for. You need a map to tell you where you are going, and a GPS system can advise you on the shortest route to your destination. These are by the way, short cuts. Unless you know everything already, you will need short cuts, life isn’t that long, and it’s not long enough for you to start everything from scratch.

The more important thing is, someone has to make the effort to draw the map for you, and someone has to create the system to map the GPS for you. I’m sure glad it’s not me who has to create such things and I thank those who did it for everyone else like us. I suspect it would take several lifetimes for me to draw an accurate map of a city alone and more lifetimes to create a GPS from scratch after that. By that time, my map will be outdated.

So this chapter, is fairly straightforward, the below are the so called “experts” in their fields and have something valuable to share. For most, there is an admission price to pay for access to their products. We have personally tried some of them and gosh, it is no wonder we have to pay for them and we have no doubt that their products are worth much more than what we are paying them for. Provided we make use of the information to good use, otherwise, it’s just as good as the dictionary you never open.
