Acres of Diamond

Have you ever heard of this story? Have ever read of this book? As this is an old classic, Acres of Diamond has been read thousound times or million times. But, how many people had really learn from the teachings? If they had done so, they should be living a decent life.

Why are we not rich? How do I know that you are not rich? Very simple. If you are rich enough, you would not have mid life crisis. You would not be looking at this blog. You would not be seeking for survival tips. You would not have enjoy reading this column. You would have been giving away tips on how to be rich. Anyway, these are not my main concerns. As long as someone is seeking for hints, I will be there to provide one.

The simple theory of getting rich is firstly, you need to be able to leverage. By selling your time to earn a living will not get you rich. Next, you want to be in business. To do that you need to first find a product or service that people want. Then, you need to secure the product and you need to let people know about it. That means market survey, obtain rights to resell and advertising. Selling things that people want. This the universal truth.
