What Degree Or New Skills Should I Chose To Increase My Chances Of Being Successful & Wealthy?

  What Degree Or  New Skills Should I Chose To Increase My Chances Of Being Successful & Wealthy? |

I will let you into a secret that nobody who sells Education or Skills Courses will tell you. It is not a particular degree or skill that can make you successful and or wealthy. If that was the case then everyone doing a particular degree or learning a particular skill would be successful and rich, and we know that does not happen.


In order to learn how to be successful, we have to compare the traits of successful people versus those that may be working hard but are struggling. We learn that those that have made it, did not necessarily "make it" due to their education or technical skills but they do have the following common traits.


 - They are disciplined in whatever they do in their personal and professional lives

 - They are focused with minimal distractions 

 - They have a high level of Emotional Intelligence

 - They can motivate themselves and do not need others to continually push them

 - They have patience. It can take 5-10 years to make lasting positive changes to your life so they care more about the direction of travel and steady progress rather than trying to run as fast as possible.

 - They have the art of persuasion which they use to sell and convince others about their skills, ideas, and products

 - They continually improve themselves rather than get stuck in their ways. With time they adapt, unlearn, and relearn if they need to

 - They know the art of delegation and people management which allows them to recover or retain their greatest asset, their time

 - They sacrifice a part of their lives for their cause. They sacrifice sleep, personal time, short term enjoyment, and gratification in order to achieve their goals

 - They know how to brand themselves to make them appear professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. It doesn't matter how skilled you are if your social feeds are full of childish or offensive content

 - They are financially literate, once they start making money they know how to manage it, invest it and grow it.


So in summary, you can be successful in almost any field if you have most of the qualities above so rather than jump from skill to skill and course to course you should adopt the traits above and deploy your existing skills in a better way. 


If you look around, you will see extremely successful people in the skills you may already have. The key difference between you and them will probably be the above qualities, and none of these will be taught in the degree or course you select. Its down to you to build them. If you have these traits you can pick any field or skill that interests you.

What are you buying when you buy shares in a company?

  What are you buying when you buy shares in a company? | Morrisons is a pretty boring company, a local supermarket chain. No exciting tech in sight but I bought some stock as a recovery play after they were battered during Covid. The price was at a low and they pay a modest dividend so it was a fairly safe long term investment. This morning I wake up and learn that someone wants to buy the whole company at a 30% premium above the closing price on Friday. The board have declined the offer as being too low and there may be a counter offer or there may not. If there is a counter offer that the board consider as reasonable then all shareholders will be asked to vote if they want to accept it or not. So people who ask what you actually own when you buy shares in a company, the answer is that you own a tiny piece of the building, you own some stock on the shelves, you own a piece of the cash on the balance sheet and you have a right to some of the future earnings of the business.

Money DOES Grow On Trees

  Money DOES Grow On Trees Sitting here eating mangoes thinking that many years ago someone must have had the thought to plant a mango tree knowing full well that they will have to look after it for 5-8 years before it will bear fruit. They had the foresight that after their initial investment of time and money, mangoes will begin to grow and they will be able to sell them. The mature tree is now an asset and with ongoing care will provide mangoes for 40-50 years. In season it will grow value day and night, whether the owner is present or not. Each mango can be exchanged for money so the tree is effectively growing money on it. We all need the foresight of that orchard grower and plant trees that will grow money for many many years. The trees can either be real Fruit Trees or Startups, Businesses, Property, Digital Assets or anything else that, after initial effort and investment, can provide reoccurring revenue for many years. Once you have your first tree, grow an orchard. Happy ...
