Those who cultivate their skills end up becoming the experts and high
earners that we see and hear about. They are the ones we run to when
we have a problem to solve. They are the ones we pay our hard earned
money to.
Wealth creation is cooperation between God and people. God has done
his part. We must do our part in developing the talents, abilities, relation-
ships and opportunities he gives us.
A lot of developing nations are third world countries. They are not so
because they are not endowed. Most of these countries are rich in raw re-
sources. Yet, they are poor. They have not developed their ability to refine
their raw resources into products with high market value.
They sell their resources to a developed nation with the capability of re-
fining raw resources. They create goods with high market value and then
sell them back to these developing nations.
Now, this does not only apply to third world countries, it is also applicable
on the individual level. You have great potential. But, until you develop it
you will remain at the same rung of the social economic ladder. Even if
you live in a first world country.
Often times we come up with excuses for not doing what we need done.
No one is promising you a trouble, challenge or obstacle-free zone in
business or life. But, know this, God is not a respecter of persons, color,
race, age or gender. He will cause financial prosperity to manifest in the
lives of those who respect his economic principles. He will deliver pros-
perity to those who apply themselves to his laws of wealth creation. Like
the sound of it or not, the ball is in your court.
