Getting others to invest in you (3)

                    By Bayo Ogunmupe

     You can have everything you want in life, if you will just help other people get what they want. In this final part of how you can get others to invest financially and emotionally on you and your goals, I shall inform you of modern ways you should use to achieve your aims. To take adequate advantage of your experience and knowledge, document and publish all of the insights you get along the way of your life's journey. Writing organises and clarifies our thoughts. Writing is how we think our way into a subject and make it our own.

     Writing enables us to find out what we know- and what we don't know. As you gain incredible insights being around great people, you should document your learning by keeping a journal filled with experiences, concepts, and ideas. You are getting a rare education for very few people have access to what you are seeing. Moreover, don't just keep a studious journal, start publishing your insights online perhaps on your blog.

     In the process of being apprenticed, you will develop your own ideas and brand, while getting mentored. And from your apprenticeship, apply all you are learning to your life and business. To learn and not to apply your knowledge is not to learn; to know and not create is really not to know. if you are not changed by the culture and environment you are in, then you are resisting enlightenment and innovation. It is in your interest to immerse yourself fully since it will not destroy your identity.

     Rather, your new environment will transform you, shatter your old habits, and reshape the way you live. Upgrade your worldview by investing more and more on yourself. You will be shocked as you see helpers invest increasing amounts of money and resources in you and your goals. Whatever the vastness of the why, the supply will come in abundance. The universe doesn't care if you tapped into it with a teaspoon or a bucket. It is up to you the extent to which you wish to evolve your state of being. Beware what wish for, as every blessing ignored becomes a curse.

     In all thy getting, be humble. Give all the credit of your success to others. You become what you know. Your success rarely exceeds the level of your personal development. The more you know the more you earn. There are many who played divine roles in you having the life that you have today. Be sure to let them know how grateful you are. Perhaps the highest payment you can give them is giving them credit for everything you have become. You become the living testimony of your mentor's teaching.

     If you remain humble, you become loved by the people. That's the essence of transformational leadership. You become someone they want to see succeed because you are a living embodiment of their greatest desires and highest values. Give others credit, pay them more than just money. After you have established trust, tell your network about your goals. After you have clearly established yourself as a giver, and continued to give; you will be shocked by the swarms and armies of people who will come to help you.
     While you were giving, serving and helping them, the people had become emotionally invested in you. Emotions change a person; emotions dictate action far more than reason. Human beings are not rational actors. They act based on emotion.
