1. Believe in God, Trust in God and Seek Righteousness.
2. Believe in the power that is in you to make a difference.
3. Discover what you are most skilled at and which is needed and do it, relentlessly.
4. Have respect for people ahead of you (rich, leaders, etc.) even if you don’t agree with them, don’t criticize them (even in your thoughts).
5. Acknowledge that you are a simple element in the universe and that the world can still do without you — humble yourself. Be aware of when your time has expired and give space to the newly anointed and don’t be jealous!
6. Always aim to learn something new and stay informed in order to remain relevant.
7. Make as many connections as you can and keep the most relevant ones at all cost — you can’t make it in life just on your own, you need a reference, someone to vouch for you and push you forward, no matter how smart you are!
8. The greedier you become, the poorer you become — pay tithe and help the needy. There is more blessing in giving than receiving! Stay grateful.
9. Flee unnecessary pleasures and expenditures.
10. Make investments — no matter how small you earn.
11. Don’t criticize someone who is struggling to empower himself/herself.
12. Love people and avoid jealousy at all cost: the bigger your hand, the more you can hold in your palm — the bigger your heart and mind, the more God will entrust you with.
13. Avoid doing something God hasn’t approved you for, even if it makes sense to everyone — it will be a waste of time, feelings and money. God will not finance any ministry He has never called you for!
14. Disconnect from all the negative energy — cut jealous, mockers, small-minded people and bad habits out of your life and move on.
15. Find someone who can be the extension of you and your work and invest in them — have a mentee and a successor.
