CONTINUOUS LEARNING : A SECRET THAT CAN HELP WORKING PROFESSIONALS TO MULTIPLY THEIR INCOME IN 2026

 It is the desire of every working professional to improve their income. The question is what can be done in 2026 to multiply our income? The cost of living is increasing every day . One of the secrets that I have observed among employees who earn three times more than their counterparts is continuous learning. The high paid working professionals do not leave anything to chance. They work day and night to invest in themselves. This is not restricted  to going back for advanced studies because today there is a lot of free knowledge waiting to be exploited. There are free courses on internet in various fields. No longer can a working professional be comfortable with one academic qualification. 

Brian Tracy noted that the day one graduates is the day their degree becomes obsolete. That is worrying .The introduction of Artificial Intelligence is worsening the matter because tasks that were previously done by people can be done by AI and this means that workplaces will need very technical people to handle sophisticated tasks. Working professionals should be hungry to acquire new knowledge and skills more frequently than in the past. This is because our wealth is hidden in our minds. This is further validated by Napoleon Hill in his great book Think and Grow Rich.

In a nation where over 70% of the population is below 30 years emphasis should be placed on ensuring the the youths desire to acquire financial literacy skills because the financial landscape is changing at a very fast rate. Today a working professional is facing cyber attacks. Many working professionals have lost money to fake investment schemes. Others lack knowledge on where to invest and multiply their income. This is why continuous learning is very important.

ACRE OF DIAMONDS

 According to Dr. Dennis Kimbro in his book Think And Grow Rich  every human being is an acre of diamonds. In simple terms we have more potential than we can imagine. With adequate self reflection this statement can change any person's life. It is Dr. Myles Munroe who noted that without knowing our purpose on earth we are likely to lead a less impactful life. The question that has been asked by many leading scholars is why are some people more successful than others? Is it family background? Is it luck? Is it the country where they were born? Unfortunately no body has a clear answer to this contradicting question. Hellen Keller was born blind but by the time of her death she was a very successful leader. Oprah Winfrey had a tough childhood but is now one of the most influential leaders in the world. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years but became the president of South Africa. From the above case studies it is important for each one of us to learn a lesson. We have more...

A SAVINGS PLAN CAN AID IN FINANCIAL ADVANCEMENT

 I remember during the Trainer of Trainers training conducted by Bank of Uganda we were encouraged to develop a savings plan. This was a key development because without a plan we may live in financial darkness. In my years of providing financial literacy across the country especially youths I have observed that the intangible practices that may be undermined play a big role in the big picture. I have been asked a question, "how can one save yet their needs exceed their income?. It is a tough question but the best practice remains that even in the hardest of circumstances we should prioritize saving .This is because we do not know what the future holds. As humans we forget so fast. Who remembers during the lock down of Covid-19 when people were not working. Life was extremely tough. It was an opportunity to reflect about the importance of savings during good times. A savings plan enables a person to determine why they are saving. It could be for school fees, buying a plot, a car an...

WE CELEBRATE GRADUATION BUT AFTER THAT WHAT NEXT ?

 Uganda is officially dominated by young people. Over 50 %of the population are youths. With a high population the job market also shrinks yet people need to survive. It is the means of survival that create social pressure. The unemployment dilemma in the country can be dissected from different angles and each person or all stakeholders have a critical role to play.  Universities and other institutions of higher learning produce over 300,000 graduates per year. The job creation rate is about 70,000 jobs per year. This means that the job market is narrow. It is a common sight to see over 100 applicants for one job. This is a signal that something drastic must be done to change this trajectory. Development partners such as government, private sectors and donors such as Master Card Foundation are playing a critical role in addressing youth unemployment. In fact this suggests that fight against youth unemployment must be multifaceted.  During graduation season it is justifiab...
