We all have dreams that we would like to achieve in our lifetime but sometimes you are just forced to give up on those dreams simply because you do not have enough money to help your dream manifest into reality.
In Africa i have seen very many dreams die simply because the dreamers do not even have a coin in their pocket to fulfill those dreams but that should not actually be the case.
While in the United States and Europe, people who have ideas are most likely to bring those ideas to light, in Africa it is the opposite.
Having an idea in Africa doesnot guarantee it's success and even if the idea has potential for becoming a successful business, no one bothers about it.
Today, i will give you some of the reasons why you should not give up on your dream simply because you are broke and cannot afford to put money into those things that you would like to achieve in your life.
1. Your dream is valid
It doesnot matter how long it takes, the truth of the matter is that you can still be able to achieve your dreams if you remain positive and are willing to work at it each day of your life.
If you have ever heard of a restaurant that sells roasted chicken which is called Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) then you must be knowing what iam talking about.
If you do not know, let me tell you. The founder of this great restaurant chain started his business at the age of 50 and by the tme he approached his sixties, he became a billionaire. So i do say to you again that your dreams are indeed valid and never dismiss them as invalid.
2. Time is the most important resource not money
It is true that we cannot dismiss money as an important resource simply because we do need money to survive especially in this modern day of ours.
Without money, life can be difficult but according to me, the most important resource we do have at our disposal is our time.
This is the resource that has been given to everyone. We all have 24 hours and the way each one of us uses this resource will determine if they are successful or not.
If you have dreams, do not wait for the money to be enough for you to start working on your dreams.
There is no right time to start working on your dreams, the best time to start working on your dreams is right now and nothing else.
For example if your dream is to become a popular blogger, you could just start by writing articles for your blog without evn having to post them. You can just write those articles and save them in folders in your laptop.
If you do not have a laptop, you could use a pen and write some articles on pieces of paper that you can later transfer.
Atleast you will have used that time well to work on your dream of blogging. There is no time to waste any more, start working on your goals today and tommorrow will be better.
3. Start in the smallest way that you can
We all have big ideas and would have loved to start big but not all of us do have the resources, so if you have a dream and would like to bring it to light then you will need to start in the smallest way that you can.
If you want to ow n a shopping mall in the near future, it would be best for you to start in the smallest way possible that you can.
You could start by putting up a tomato stall where you start by selling those goods to your customers and then you can easily invest the profits back into the business.
Lack of money cannot stop you from taking the smallest step towards your dreams.
