People’s resources are the greatest asset any individual or an organization embarking on economic empowerment venture can have. You need wisdom from above to effectively utilize this asset to your economic advantage, but not at the expense of their legitimate entitlements. Apart from your personal resources, you will need other people’s resources for your economic empowerment.
How do you wisely use people’s resources as a channel for economic empowerment?
i. OPM – Other People’s Monies
ii. OPT – Other People’s Time
iii. OPK – Other People’s Knowledge
iv. OPA – Other People’s Abilities
v. OPG – Other People’s Goodwill
vi. OPE – Other People’s Experience
You can use all the above-mentioned People’s Resources to empower yourself economically. Note however that we are not talking about exploiting people unduly to amass wealth for yourself. Bible frowns on that and you will not go unpunished for that. What I am teaching you is that there are so many people out there with these resources in abundance who do not know how to harness and utilize them for their own economic gain. With wisdom, employ these available resources, and pay them their due remunerations and utilize the resources for a greater economic gain.
Let us consider some case studies for the use of the above
The use of OPM (Other People’s Monies)
How do financial institutions make their wealth? Simply by the principle of OPM, they take your money with the promise of keeping it safe for you and giving it back to you at any time you want it just for a minimal charge. They then invest your money into some viable money market instruments with greater yields and make more money with your money for themselves. How about that? That is financial wisdom for you.
If you happen to meet an excellent opportunity for an investment that can yield you over a hundred percent return with no or minimal risk and you don’t have the money it takes to seize the opportunity, do you fold your arms and sleep? No! You look for somebody with the money who doesn’t know what to do with it and promise him some interest for the use of his money and you are on your way to making big time wealth for yourself. You don’t need to have your own money before you can be economically empowered, but you surely need wisdom for that. So ‘wise up’
The use of OPK (Other People’s Knowledge)
Henry Ford, it is said was a school drop out and a near illiterate but he is credited with the invention of the Ford Car. How did he accomplish that? By the principle of OPK (Other People’s Knowledge), he had a vision and a desire backed by determination, but he had no knowledge to achieve that by himself. He used wisdom to employ OPK to accomplish his dream.
He was once accused of being an ignoramus and in his defense astounded every body by saying: “I don’t need to cram my head with knowledge I can easily get elsewhere at the snap of my fingers” By that statement, It was held that if one knows how to get from elsewhere, the knowledge he should have acquired by himself he cannot be said to be an ignoramus. By that he won the case. This can work for you too. You don’t need all the knowledge in the world to be able to make money. All you need is the wisdom to gather around you people with the knowledge you need.
Consider this success story and get an inspiration that the OPK can work for anybody who has wisdom enough to harness its powers.
Some Senior High School candidates who could not make it in all their papers contacted a young man to help them in some extra classes as they were preparing to rewrite some of their papers. He did help them and they were successful in their exams. The news soon spread in town and many more students started flocking to his house everyday. He was overwhelmed with their numbers and besides, he could not handle all the courses. An idea quickly came to him to create a remedial classes’ centre and employ the services of the graduate teachers in the secondary schools in the town to help him. This he did and today the place has turned into a fulltime remedial and regular school with the young man who has not got a university education as the proprietor and facilitator making his cool money through the use of the OPK (Other People’s Knowledge). You too can try the OPK because it will definitely work for you.
