DEAR WORKING PROFESSIONAL : WE SHOULD HAVE HOPE THAT OUR FINANCES CAN ADANCE IN 2026

 Life is sometimes funny. We tend to undermine out thought process. Did we know that our thoughts play a critical role in what we become and achieve. Whereas this is the case I have seen countless people who do not pay adequate attention to personal development.

Many think that advancing our finances comes mostly from external forces such as working hard. Where as I do not discount working hard, it is critical that we pay a lot of attention on our mental perspectives regarding our work and financial destinies. I have observed that a number of employees who earn three times their counterparts place a lot of attention on developing their abilities well knowing that if they develop their inner potential it will propel them to better income generating opportunities.

Without having hope that a better year of financial advancement is possible we misuse even the little that we have. We have seen employees who earn little money start small businesses with their limited capital and end up financially self reliant. This is because they believed it was possible and took action.

So in order to take control of our finances and advance to a better foundation we need to do the following:

1.Have a long term perspective to life.

2.Invest in financial literature 

3.Seek mentorship and coaching

4. Create multiple sources of income

In this new year any working professional seeking to advance their finances should focus on aligning their thoughts to positive thinking. Negative thinking creates doubt and fear and this prevents us from maximizing our potential.

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 ...
