There is a post that has been circulating on social media with tips on how men can escape poverty. The post, who’s original author is unknown, has been shared by a host of men.
It carries what many men have termed as valuable nuggets every man should arm themselves with. Here is the post offering the seven ways Kenyan men can escape poverty:
1). Get the right woman
Forget the slay queens and women with looks but zero brains. Get a woman who will not only support your vision but will also push you to achieve more.
A woman who will inspire you to work hard and not a woman who just makes you hard. He who finds a real woman finds a good thing and obtains favour and power to create wealth.
2). Stop Taking Cheap DrinksÂ
I have no problem with having drinks during social interaction and networking. However, when you drink cheap drinks or drink in cheap places, you hang out with cheap people who have cheap ideas and a cheap future.
Big business opportunities are found in places where the drinks are expensive. In fact, in places where they sell cheap drinks, the only people you will find there are people who will be asking you for money. They even clap when you come knowing ‘big buyer’ has come.
3). Stop being Lazy
“Man ooh Man, why art thou Lazy?” You are too lazy for your own good. You sleep the whole day and blame the government for your poverty. “A Little Sleep, a Little Slumber, poverty shall overtake you like a political cadre in overalls”.
A lot of men are just lazy when it comes to making money. They have enough energy to sleep around with women, but have no energy to start one organization, that’s why it is so easy for men to manufacture children than it is to make even pegs for putting children’s clothes on the line..
4). Know Productive ThingsÂ
If you keep too much junk in your head, you get a junk life. I know a lot of men who are so sharp when you are talking about girls, about soccer and about street politics, Who is Rich who is not;
Who has a good house but you can’t bring a topic about investment, innovation and business, they start looking at their phone, yawning or saying bye.. Useless things, videos and memes go viral fast than constructive things..
A man must know how to do at least one productive thing (have one skill) even without having gone to college.
5). Get Connected to Big Men Who are better than you
A lot of men are failing because they are not mentored. They don’t have anyone to whom they can sit down and listen, with obedience.
In the old days, old men would sit young men down and show them how to hunt and kill animals… and no man was considered a man enough until he has personally killed an animal… now these men of nowadays are not mentored and can’t even kill a bird.
Why Kenyan men get rich in their 30s then go broke in their 40s
There are men out there who have made it in life, find a way to get mentored by big men who are making waves and impacting people in our community.
6). Work
Stop Spending your whole day just praying and fasting yet you know that both Quran and Bible tells you that God will bless the work of your hands. Yes yes The blessing finds you on your way doing something.
Stop using Prayer as an excuse not to work. Work hard. It’s an error for your pockets to be empty and your brain to be empty too.
7). Get Wisdom
The Bible says that wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get it. He who’s informed is transformed and he who’s uninformed is deformed. You can only rise according to the level of knowledge you have.
The Bible says that by me (wisdom) kings reign, and by wisdom you shall build your house. For you to successfully build your life, a business, family, a career, etc. wisdom is required. You can’t be a fool and expect to be whole.
