STRENGTHENING THE POOR 43

Many years ago, when pipeline began the leak, people started rushing to fetch the diesel, gas, fuel and kerosene that flows at various timeframes. while the traffic was channelled towards that place, a man decided to sell gallons. there was sudden need for gallons and this man made it available. He sold it far higher than the market price and because he had set up his business on the road that led to the place where the pipeline was leaking, people bought gallons without minding the costs, after all, they are going to fetch oils that costs so much for free. some people even paid more just to secure all of the gallons. the price of oils (gas, fuel, kerosene and diesel) became came down because everyone within that environ have gone to fetch themselves but the cost of gallons never came down until the government came and sealed the leaking pipeline.

The African child must be trained to see that opportunity is not in the cause of the traffic, but in what people need when heading towards the traffic.

the man who sold gallons made more money than all those who when to fetch the free oil that was leaking from the pipeline. business is not where everyone is rushing to, business is in the services/produces that everyone needs while rushing there. you must learn to see opportunities where people aren't looking it. that's how to be a millionaire.

God bless you
