The Power of the Mind (ideas)

The most lucrative occupation in the world today is not ICT, there are many ICT professionals with debt. It is not medicine, not all medical doctors have it made. It is definitely not law, education, agriculture or any other profession you can think of. It is nothing you go to school to learn either. Some of you might be thinking it’s entrepreneurship. Well,  take a break and recall that man or woman (or even you) you know, who has failed or is struggling with that business venture. Remember? Now let’s proceed. I know the suspense is already building up. Some of you are asking, “what is he talking about?” What then is the most lucrative occupation?” Here it comes. Ready? The most lucrative occupation in the world is, and has always been the ability to use your mind to think and generate ideas.

I will save us the time of having to outline the list of names of several legitimate millionaires and billionaires all over the world today, but no matter what they do or how they make their money, the bottom line is that they were able to use their minds to generate ideas the world needed.

In fact, except for those fortunate enough to be born into a royal family or oil rich family in a gulf state, almost all wealth can be traced to an idea, and ideas, are products of the mind. 

Join me next week as we begin DEVELOP YOUR MIND series, where we'll talk about how to build and develop the mind into a powerful tool for success. Meanwhile, don't forget to drop your comments below.

Stay Blessed.
