Zig Ziglar, master salesman and motivational speaker said "you can have whatever you want in life if only you can help others get what they need."
For those who have a mind set that is 'me', 'myself' and 'I', this statement from Ziglar makes but little sense. But look all around you at those who have made immense wealth in life GENUINELY. All they've done is simply solve people's problems.
Let me give you concrete examples to buttress my point. Henry Ford, with very little formal education helped solve the problem of motor car affordability by mass-producing his Ford model T car at an affordable cost to majority of his people. He made immense wealth in the process.
Orville and Wilbur Wright, two virtually unknown brothers of little education solved the problem of long distance travel within a shorter time period through air travel and also created a fortune in the process.
McDonald's was created to provide fast food to America's busy working population and that idea produced and continues to produce fortunes for their owners.
Thomas Edison, who had only three months of formal schooling and had to be sent away because no one except his mother had faith in him and his abilities, solved people's problems through several inventions like the Edison Dictating Machine, the incandescent bulb and so on. He equally made a fortune in the process.
Need I go on? In modern times, we have Bill Gates, a Harvard Business School drop out and owner of Microsoft, who has solved several human problems of information and communication through creation of several softwares and hardwares and is one of the world's wealthiest men.
The Google search engine on the internet, created by two college graduate students Larry Page and Sergey Brin to solve the problem of information retrieval on the internet in a faster way has turned its owners into billionaires.
So what's the common thing about all these names mentioned above? They simply looked at human problems and ways of doing things at the time and proffered a solution and made fortunes in the process.Notice also that I deliberately mentioned the fact that most of the men named had but little formal education. What they had was the ability to look at human problems and create ways of solving them. It's that simple.
Napoleon Hill said "whatever the human mind can conceive and believe is achievable." It means these men conceived their ideas and believed it was achievable. So it is with just anyone on this earth.
You equally have the same ability, if you would just put your mind to work and conceive ways of solving human problems. It could be in anything you want. Human beings have several problems that plague them on a daily basis.
The problems between those who achieve and those who do not is that while achievers come up with ways of solving those problems by thought and belief and making fortunes in the process, non-achievers spend time complaining about those same problems.
Take a hard look at your environment with the eyes of a problem solver. There is a problem or a current way of doing things that could be done faster. It could be in just about anything - transportation, accommodation, internet, clothing, software, hardware, telecommunications, toys, etc, etc.
Come up with an idea that solves the problem or makes the process faster. Believe it is achievable and you are well on your way to making millions.
