How can you build your net-worth from nothing

I had to ask this question from one from a great friend of mine who has made it to the top, living nice and inspiring many. From the dialogue we had this is what he pointed out, i know they are honest tips to guide through reaching your goal.

Build Networks. Sounds stupid, but go to places and events where people are doing big and interesting things. Have conversations, soak everything in, gather a lot of cards, make yourself available, and make genuine friendships. People will tap those they like over other people when they have opportunities.

Be flexible. Success won’t always look like you think it will, and neither will opportunities. Be open to moving from where you live, taking some chances, and being uncomfortable.

Do not go into debt over stupid things. Nothing will kill your net worth faster than debt. Don’t do it if you don’t have to…and certainly not over stupid things like cars, etc..

Change your mindset. Do you know where competition is steepest? In the middle. Very few people actually shoot for big things, they aspire to common things…there’s nothing wrong with that, but it shows you where most people are.

Expose yourself to wealth. I know this sounds stupid, but seeing what is possible will open your eyes if you haven’t seen it before. I used to think physicians were “rich” growing up - that’s how limited my view was. A few things you’ll note that will expand you: what’s possible, how much money is out there (it’s not rare), and that most of these people are not special in any way.

Don’t listen to people’s opinions. A lot of  give advice they think is good - for them. Follow your own heart and your own drive.

Reverse Engineer as much as possible. Know what you want to do? Read the people who are doing just that, and reverse engineer how to do it yourself.

Be relentless. There’s a great saying that “rivers don’t cut through rock because they are powerful, they cut through rock because they are persistent.” Just keep going.

I know these are kind of vague, and some even sound pretty cheesy - but I mean all of them sincerely. Good luck.

BUSOGA WILL FOREVER FEEL PROUD

Special dads, those who value life and family are very elated for the decission their king Gabula Nadiope IV to officially get married. it has taken 67 years since a royal wedding in the kingdom took place. officially Mutesi Jovia is the queen mother of our beloved kingdom. I wont leave out the fact that we are very excited about this achievement that will empower Busoga families to grow holistically, culturally and economically. For societies to grow economically research asserts that the grassroot which is the family has to have a solid foundation. when the family has what it takes then communities will thrive in all developmental aspects. Our king saw it wise that if he sets an example to the new normal young adults then alot of misconceptions about marriage will be laid away. In fact we are going to realisethe importancese of being faithful and committed when in relationships. Thespecial dads team being spear headed by Timothy Waigolo is now in full gear toadvocate for

Finally Mbarara University Students Who stayed in hostels receive food

Mbarara University students who failed to make it back to their homes finally get relief aid from UNSA - Uganda National Students Association. a week back student advocates raised their voices via media specifically TV West and other social plaforms seeking for attention towards the welfare of stranded students.  Special thanks to the current guild president of MUST Muhumuza Ryan and his team for securing aid to students.  When interacting with one of the students who were on the front line of fighting for the stranded university students welfare Musinguzi Newton , he had this to say "many students are vulnerable people who are unemployed and get survival from their guardians, so they should not be left out because they equally deserve  to share the cake the government is distributing to the rest of Ugandans".
