But why?
Power.
Because I needed power.
Did you know that there is a close relationship between power and prosperity?
This is what I mean.
You can’t be rich if you’re not powerful. And you can’t be powerful and not be rich.
Tell me, who are the richest people in today’s world?
People who have mighty businesses.
People who are famous (musicians, footballers etc.),
Political leaders (yes, even if you are an honest successful politician, you will be rich)
And the kings.
Also some TOP employees.
Now you think about it! All these people are powerful, that’s why they are rich.
Business people are in control of hundreds of people (employees) and thousands if not millions of customers.
Famous people (e.g. footballers, musicians) have thousands of raving fans who love them and can die for them (and that means they are in control of them).
You can’t be rich, except you’re powerful. The more power you have, the richer you will become
Guess what? Every power is used over people. That is how the tittle of this article goes;
Power, People, Prosperity
Get me right.
Dangote the richest African from Nigeria has over 20,000 employees (as at when writing this) and millions of people who consume products from his business.
That makes him so powerful (and rich). For him to have more money, he MUST increase the number of his employees (and the numbers of people who like his products)
Michael Jackson was famous, he had millions of fans. This made him to be very rich. If any musician, footballer, artist or actor will ever be rich, he/she must increase the numbers of people who are his/her fans. This will increase his power and the more power he/she has, the more prosperity.
Kings, rulers and military generals are rich, simply because they are in control of many people. The more the numbers of people a king (or general) rules, the more power he has and the more prosperity he has. That's why being a governer in Nairobi county can make you more powerful and prosperous that being a governer in Wajir county.
Maybe you don’t understand me?
To be rich, don’t look for money. Look for *power*
If you are powerful than people around you, you will be richer than them.
I’m not talking about physical or political power here. I’m talking about mental power that leads to power over people.
You can`t make a lot of money in business if you are not powerful. Power to win People (either for your product or political ambition) leads to Prosperity
Think about the following questions:
How can you get more people to love your product/services? What can you do today to get more people to fall in love with your political ambition? How can you employ and engage more people to work for you?
The more people you have power over (directly or indirectly) the more power you will have, and the more prosperous you will be.
So, increase your power!
How do we get more power? How do we get more people to fall in love with our products, services or political ambition?
By knowing far more than them. If you are in politics your goal is to know far more things about politics, history, your territory`s economy, human persuasion, public speaking, leadership etc. More than anyone who could be your opposition.
When you know more than your opponents, the electorates will see you as a more competent candidate. This buys more people to your ambition and gives you more power.
As a business man, your goal is to know far more than your competitors about marketing, leadership, negotiation, branding, and many other business and financial skills. If you know more about business than your competitors, you will apply your business skills in the market place and win more market share.
This means that more people will be in love with you therefore you will be more powerful and prosperous.
As a matter of fact, human beings naturally bow down for superior knowledge, so knowledge is the source of power.
