The Secret of Discovering Lucrative Opportunities in Your Country One day a poor young boy went to his father and asked him, Dad, can you please tell me where the world is going? The father looked surprised and announced to the boy, sorry, nobody knows. The boy was disappointed and asked, Dad, you mean you know nothing about the future? Hmm, the father reluctantly answered, I know it will be different from the present. In today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you how to discover lucrative opportunities that can make you rich anywhere you are in the world. If you are new here, consider subscribing so you won't miss other interesting videos like this. Now let's get into it. The father in my previous story doesn't know everything about the future, but he knows something, the future will be different. This is what you need to be rich in life. They understand that the future will be different. Change and Opportunity So many people in the world are looking for opportunities to become wealthy. What many of these people don't understand is where opportunity leaves. Opportunity leaves inside change. Change is the father of opportunity. It's very important for you to understand this, so let me explain with some examples. For many years, humans travel majorly at the back of a horse. By the early 1990s, however, we discovered how to mass-produce automobile. This is a change, and like every change, it comes with a lot of opportunities. Now the world can use a lot of gasoline. Now we can have tractors to work our farms, mass-produce foods, and make a lot of money doing so. The smart people who understood this change became rich by positioning themselves in the right place while everyone else made excuses and complain. This is another example. The printing press was invented in 1440. This was a massive change because for the first time in the world, we started mass-producing books, daily news and others. Several companies got started, including the newspapers and magazine companies. Some smart individuals became rich by positioning themselves to take the chance of the opportunity while everyone else complained and made excuses. The invention of the radio in 1895 was a miracle, but something is about to happen. 32 years after the radio was invented, in 1927, we invented the TV. That was a massive change. Some smart people started TV stations. Some used TV to advertise their product and made millions. Some used the TV to gain political influence, and millions of others used the TV for numbers of things we can't possibly list in this video. But here's the point. TV was a big change, and every change brings opportunities. The problem with most people in the world is that they are too busy making excuses, that they don't even see the gold in their backyard. The telephone was usually very boring, but again, we have a mobile phone. Mobile phones came with numerous opportunities, but yet we still have smartphones. Because we have smartphones, many smart people all over the world have become rich. Some have created million dollar apps. Some have created telecommunication companies. Some have created blogs. Some have created successful YouTube channels that are making their more money than their fathers ever made, and others, just because we have smartphones. I can go on and on to make a list of these change, which will include the internet, but you've gotten the point. The point here is simple. If you are looking for opportunities, pay attention to changes, because change is the father of opportunity. Most people don't understand this, and that's why they are poor. Consumers of change. Aside from the fact that most people don't understand that opportunity to make a lot of money from change, most people are joyful consumers of change. They are happy that we now have the internet. They are happy that smartphones are now magical. They are happy because we can now use Uber. They are happy because we will soon be living on another planet. They are happy because of a lot of changes that are happening in our world every day, and they joyfully consume the fruits of those changes. This is pathetic, I tell you. You see, most people would have been super rich if they are not mere consumers. Please don't get me wrong, everyone has to consume to leave. We all have to eat, use phones, clothes, cars, the internet, and others. What makes people become mere consumers is when they don't think. When you don't think beyond consuming, then you are on the wrong path. If you use a phone, you should know that at least three people are making money from you just by using that phone. By using the internet, you should know that at least 100 people are making money from you monthly, from your monthly activities on the web. If you use a car, you should know that at least 10 people are making money from you because you use a car. These people making money from you isn't a bad thing. You not making money is. While I cannot avoid being a consumer, I can also create what other people consume, and that's what I do. I consume change, but I also take advantage of change. Don't be a mere consumer of change. Pay attention to changes and study to know how you can make money from changes. The Mist Opportunity I was just about 14 years in the year 2000 when the internet exploded with blogging as a carrier. Those are my good writer, I missed the opportunity to be part of the blogging era. Another thing I've heard people saying is called Mist Opportunity. While you can miss certain opportunities, if you pick loads attention to changes going on around you, there's always one other opportunity around the corner because the world changes every minute. Just when blogging is no longer the big thing, video platforms like YouTube came to be the king, and here I am today, doing the exact same thing I ought to be doing with the blog, right here with videos. So don't mourn because you feel that you've missed an opportunity. Instead, pick loads attention to changes that are going around you every day. The War of Change The other point I should make in this video is that change is a two-edged sword. While change opens doors of opportunity for smart people to become wealthy, it also makes many people poorer. Just think about artificial intelligence. Well, millions of people are going to lose their job because of that, and for such people, the AI is a curse. But instead of the artificial intelligence to be a curse for you, what if you take some time to study what that technology means, how it works, and what opportunity it brings? Looking to the future Here's the thing, if you really want to be rich, you have to know how to discover opportunities before everyone else knows about it. To do this, you have to pay attention to the future. You have to watch out for change. Have you read in the news that a new technology was invented that can make a significant change in the way we leave? Take an art to read about it. Have you heard about a new internet platform everyone is rushing to? Take an art to study what is going on. Do you read about any major change? Make sure you understand and follow the news about it very closely. The only way to be rich is by seeing the future before it comes, and the only way to see the future is by paying attention to change. Do you want the opportunity to be rich? Pay attention to change, and take chances before everyone is aware of the change. Thank you so much for watching our videos. Are you between the ages of 15 and 40?
