Why the rich keeps getting richer and the poor continues in poverty
80% will skip this post cause of that generic knowledge of "i know what to do if I have the right amount of money, I can get my way out of poverty" but here's a shocking true life story.
A young man in my country was so good at selling and marketing a particular brand of bottle water hawking them on the road and in-between traffics.
one day luck shines on him and while doing what he loves to do best, he so marketed this bottle water in a bus trying so hard to persuade a passenger to buy, someone in the bus caught that moment on camera and it went viral
the bottle water company reached out to this guy, endorsed him, gave him a fully set stock up shop with their products with everything he needs to run a successful business
but then shockingly the last I heard few months down the line this guy somewhere went broke and the business closed down.
another case a young man was hawking fishpies, the way he so did it was exceptional, recording himself and posting on social media, it went viral many content creators started using that soundtrack for content. somehow a celebrity contacted this guy visited him in his slump and somehow changed this guy's life, rented a new apartment for him, set him up gave him a car and cash too.
but do you know the last I heard this guy somehow went broke again things went south. guess what he blamed this celebrity for everything, saying everything went bad ever since the celebrity bought him a car.
this two case study tells me one thing Money is not the problem of poverty, poverty in itself is a predominant mindset, it's a mind that is void of information, information that is useful and that can lead to a transformation
this is the reason why the poor keeps getting poorer and the rich continues to improve and grow their wealth
a wealthy man has dozen of new information stored in his mind. he never stops learning, he seeks more opportunities to grow, to leverage on, he has a mentality of dominance such that anything and anyone can become his tool, the rich is rich not because of money but because of a mindset programmed to reflect his consciousness in reality likewise a poor man....
it's all about the mind

Your blog is worth reading. That's indeed a sharp and thought-provoking reflection. You’re really digging into the idea that poverty as mindset can be more limiting than poverty as a lack of money. If poverty is seen only as lack of money, solutions will be temporary. The wealthy often keep learning, seeking leverage, and treating challenges as opportunities. Their mindset is programmed toward growth, which compounds over time.
the poor blames lack of money for their state, because they are clouded by that mindset they continue to wait for perfect opportunity which is why many people die unfulfilled, many dreams and vision in the heart of people never made it out alive, but then if one lacks money but have a wealthy mindset, this will trigger the person to start with whatever, however and whereever then figure things out later as they go, no one learns to drive in a packed car, fears of the unknown is what keeps people rooted at a spot.
thanks for your kind words really appreciated
