Five ways to get ahead in life

There is no size fit in the journey of being successful in life. The concept that hard work gets you there is valid, but it does not work for the majority of the people. Some people are very lazy and yet they boast of a bank account balance that you can only dream of. Some were lucky as they happen to have very influential parents or relatives while some people are just super talented and that in a way made them standout.

Always seek to provide solution

problems will always be exist and thats a good thing especially when you always aim to provide this solution to conquer the problem. Truth be told, most wealthy people in the society today are solution providers. A key example is Dangote from Nigeria, whose made his wealth by selling household food items such as Salt, sugar, maggi, spaggeti, noodies among others. He saw how expensive it was for the common nigerians to get this household items imported fro other countries and he provided a solution by producing a cheaper option.

By providing solution, you tend to create a market for yourself. This in a way helps build wealth creation in the process. So searching for problems and looking for ways to answer those problems will get you ahead of others. So be on the look out for issues and striff to provide answers to them in an act of making man kind life much more easier.

Never procastinate

Most people say procastination is the thief of time but i see it as a thief of more than just time. Procastination steals your joy, time, ideas, opportunities and even ones life in the end. procastination will never allow you attain your full potentials and it will lead to lack of growth. Cutting the habit of procastinatiom to the bearest minimum will make you take control of your life and properly gear towards making your life a better one.

To cut out procasination from your life, have a set goals which are been guided with lots scheduled plans and tasks which could be tracked and measure to know how far you have gone and what and what needs to be put in place.

Diversify your interest and investment

Never make a mistake of putting your eggs in one basket. Even though you don't regret it, you might never attain the best version of yourself. The richest and most wealthy people have at least two to things that are known for or products they sell. you can not just say this is the only line i want to work in and stick in it. Learn and plan to diversify your time and investment, this way, you hedge against failure in case one side of your investment completely collapses.

Elon musk is know to be the owner of Telsa, He also have another product called Space (Which aims at providing internet in space) and now, he is the owner of Twitter. Along side that, he has pretty much invested in cryptocurrency too. That shows that he is not putting or focusing all time and investment in just one thing. Diverfisication brings about more profit in the long run and also hedges against failure.

Knowing when to move on

Sometimes, a goal is never achieved or accomplished. Truth be told, some goals remains a fairytale as the resources, technology, people or technical knowhow needed to accomplish this set goals are just not available at the moment at which the idea was conceived. This is no way trying to say that your goal is invalid but it just to make know of the fact that you can get it right now and you should not waste your time on it.

Managing your time wisely largely depended on having a great knowledge of what one should invest his time on. It is no brainer to keep doing something and keep failing and failing without any noticeable improvement or an insight on how to do better. They are just some times that are just not right at the moment in time . Move on from them and focus your time on something else.
