*Topic: The Economic Impact of FRIENDSHIP* *Most of us
have friends but most of us are not maximizing the
potential of our friendships.* What does it mean to have a
friend? Why do people need friends? Who is a friend? These
are simple questions that we all know the answers to, but
what exactly is the economic impact of friendships? *The
first thing I want you to know about friendship is that it is
security.* *The second thing is that friendship is
banking.* If you understand these principles, then you are
one step closer to understanding the economic impact of
friendships. Lesson 1: List 5 things you do with your
friends. How many of these 5 things bring money to your
account or has commercial value? Let's start now....
Lesson 2: How many of your friends know your dreams and
ambition? Lesson 3: How many of your friends contribute to
your dreams and ambition? I want you to know that
friendship is not all about fun and gossip. Friendship is a
ladder to wealth and prosperity. You and your friends can
still gossip, have fun and create wealth at the same time.
*Friendship is the most powerful leveraging tool in the
world. It is the vehicle the rich use in getting richer and it is
also what the poor use in getting poorer. He that has an
ear, let him hear what I am saying.* Imagine walking into a
car shop, ordering a beautiful SUV, and then, to your
surprise, you're being informed that it has already been
paid for. Where did this unexpected gift come from? Wow!
*When will you get tired of keeping unprofitable
friendships*? Just like a business enterprise, I want you to
analyze the profitability of your friendships.... *Last 3 years,
I got into a financial mess by investing wrongly. Suddenly, I
needed one million naira to come alive. My dear friends, I
couldn't raise that money. I picked up my phone and
scrolled up and down if I could find someone in my phone
book to rescue me... alas! There was nobody. That was
when I knew I was in trouble......* My question is simple.....
*WHO ARE THE PEOPLE ON YOUR PHONE BOOK*? *If you
need One Million Naira today, is there someone on your
phone book you can call to transfer that money to you?* *If
you want to reach the Governor of your state, is there
someone on your phone book that can help?* *Some
people are suffering today, yet they have 3000 people on
their phone book. What are those people for?* You must
understand how friendship became a tool of the powerful.
Powerful people have used friendships to become more
powerful. What are you doing with your friends? *When you
sit with your friends everyday, what do you guys talk about?
* *Do you talk about boy friends and girl friends or do you
talk about how to rule the world?* *AFTER READING THIS,
YOU MUST HAVE A KNACK FOR BUILDING HIGH-PROFILED
RELATIONSHIPS. AVOID HORIZONTAL Relationships, IT'S
DANGEROUS*...... How many old people are your friends? If
none, look for one. Your friends must not be your mates or
be in your class alone. Make friends everywhere and from
every class, tribe . If you don't have any friend from other
countries, this platform is your opportunity. Make good
friends.... What is the economic impact of befriending
people? Why do people make friends? *Don't be afraid to
make huge sacrifices for your friends*. Remember I said
friendship is security. I also said friendship is a bank. Bank
wisely. *Important lessons my father taught me* : 1. Don't
wait for the opportunity to help people, create it. Wow! 2.
Friends are wealth; it's only a bad business person that will
abandon old friends because he found new ones. Don't be a
bad business man/woman.... Every year, not satisfied being
the hyper-successful, 28-year-old CEO of the company of
the decade, Mark Zuckerberg tries to improve himself by
setting an annual challenge. In 2009, he wore a tie daily. In
2010, he studied Chinese. In 2011, he only ate meat that he
himself killed. So what was his New Year resolution for
2013? It was to make a new friend everyday......do you think
he is mad? No, he is not mad....he understands the
economic impact of friendships. Some of us have not made
any meaningful friends for the past 7 years and we are
proud of it. They call themselves private people. OK o!
路♂路♂路♂路♂ A smarter you is only a decision away. You and
your friends can rule the world with ideas and partnerships.
*Do not forget that friends are wealth.*
