DEAR WORKING PROFESSIONALS : 2026 WILL REQUIRE A NEW BELIEF SYSTEM REGARDING OUR FINANCES

 With adequate finances we can be sure to achieve our set goals. One of the biggest regrets any working professional can face is to work hard and not achieve their set financial goals. The question is, why is it that there are employees that earn twice as much as other employees and what can be done to reverse this situation?

The focus of this article is no the belief system of the working professional. As I write this article there is a particular employee who has already set a goal of improving their financial circumstances. However in the same scenario there is an employee who is focused on all reasons why their financial situation can not improve. It is called self sabotage. In this new year we need to develop a generation of working professionals who do not focus on limitations but rather focus on the enormous potential to widen their income base. In Think and Grow Rich , Napoleon Hill points out that everything is created twice. First in the mind and then in reality. This means that if an employee hopes to increase their finances it starts with changing our mindset and then implementing the lessons to reverse our financial situation.

In 2026 we should aim at acting differently. We should be able to take stock of why we failed to achieve our set financial goals. Aristotle noted that an unexamined life is not worth living . This means we should work hard not to take the same level of thinking into 2026. If we are in groups that are not discussing projects that can enhance our financial value then we need to make better choices.

Ultimately dear working professional in the new  year of 2026 we should aim at building better financial habits that will help us achieve financial freedom.

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...

WHY INDIAN BUSINESSES LAST LONGER THAN UGANDAN BUSINESSES

 Joseph (not real name) set up a retail shop and after a month he closed it because of lack of customers. The question is, what went wrong? The economic conditions under which businesses operate are tough with so many uncertainties. The cost of doing business is generally high. Uganda is credited as one of the most enterprising countries in the world. Unfortunately most of  these businesses do not last beyond the second birth day.  In today's article I want to reflect on a question why do Indian businesses or companies last longer than Ugandan companies ?  How many Ugandan businesses go beyond the second generation? If they are few what leads to this state of affairs? Is it a cultural issue? Is it a lack of business management skills? We all know about Mukwano and Madhvani industries. These have become case studies for years in the Ugandan education system. The question is why is it hard for us to replicate the same practices among Ugandan businesses? Why is it that ...
