It is a common knowledge that the gap between the rich and poor are widening day by day. Most people have attributed this ugly trend to government policy which favored the rich more than the poor. But in my own opinion, is not only government policy. This issue has given me sleepless night while trying to unravel the secret behind this. After several brains storming I came up with this ten tips as the reason why the poor can’t be rich accept they discover this secret. <strong>

Information:</strong> this is the process of identifying or learning something new. The rich guys are ready to pay anything to get fresh information about something, as this information are acquired by them, they analyze it and make good use of it. Some of the information collected by them are kept as top secret as they know that information is power. But the poor are not ready to seek for new knowledge as they see no reason to do that, even when you presented such information to them, they find it difficult to accept it. Think about the information about steemit blogging which was presented to two friends, one accepted the information and is very rich and fulfill today. While the other see it as a scam and is still poor today. You can see that if the poor desire to become rich, they must seek for new knowledge, acquire it and put it into practice if not, they might continue to remain poor. &nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>

Vision:</strong> this is the ability to look into the future and predict what will happen. If you interact with those how are rich today, you will find out that what has brought them so far is vision. They have looked into the future and predict what will happen and invest in it. The poor find it very difficult to think about the future as they are preoccupied with how to feed, pay bill etc. Think about few years ago some people predict that cryptocurrency is the way the world is going, some people laugh at it and call the advocates so many names. But today people who invested in cryptocurrency are very rich, but those who refuse to look into the future are still poor. Now that most of us are working hard to build our steemit account as we are seeing a great future in it, some see no reason to join the moving train. Think about what will happen in few years to come. If the poor do not strive to look into the future, it will be difficult for them to be rich.

<strong>Investment</strong>: this is the process of putting your money in what is valuable. If you desire to be rich, you must invest your money in something that will appreciate in the future. When you Invest in a place, the chances of you becoming poor in life again is restricted. The rich guys invest a lot, but the poor do not even have enough to take care of their needs, talk more of investing. Have you seeing why the gap between the rich and poor keep widening. As the rich guys invest, they make more money, but the poor will eat the little they have. &nbsp;&nbsp;


<strong>Opportunity</strong>: is time or circumstances that makes it possible for something to happen. This is the ability to be in the right place at the right time. If you sample the opinion of some rich guys, they will tell you that they saw an opportunity and grab it. The rich guys don’t wait for an opportunity to come to them, but rather they search for it because they know how important it is. The poor see no reason to search for opportunity, but they are praying that God should present an opportunity to them. Opportunity is not enough for those who are looking for it, how much more those who are waiting for it to come to their door post. This is one of the reason why the gap between the poor and the rich is still very wide. If you want to be rich, you must search for an opportunity and grab it with your two hands.

Working hard and working smart: </strong>Most of the rich guys you see today are not rich because they are the most hardworking. The leverage the rich have over the poor is that they work smart. They combine hard work with smart work. The rich do their deals in a smart way and the money comes, but the poor is working hard morning and night, but still cannot take care their bills. &nbsp;If you desire to be rich, you must learn how to combine hard work and smart work. This means, working hard with good successful strategies, not just working without applying wisdom.

Determination: </strong>This is the act of being focused on your goals with never die spirit, no matter the challenges you meet on the way. You will agree with me that most rich guys try their hands in so many kinds of business and investments, some of these businesses did not work out as they plan, but it did not deter them from moving on. Once the poor encounter business disappointment, they will vow not to get involved in business again. If you desire to be rich in life, you must be determined to get to your goals no matter the distractions along the road.

If you want to be rich, you must try to save by investing in profitable venture, rather than saving to pay bill.
