Today, I had the opportunity to spend almost half an hour in a discussion with a businessman. In the course of our conversation, he made a statement that really stayed with me. He said:
“Kallon, money no to for eat.”
At first, I was surprised. Why would someone say such a thing? But after reflecting deeply, I understood what he truly meant.
What he was saying is that money should primarily be used as a tool for investment, not mere consumption.
Food:
When you buy food, it should be an investment. The food must give you energy, clarity, and strength to work effectively and efficiently. When food improves your productivity, it becomes an investment not just enjoyment.
Clothing:
Your clothing should also be an investment. Dress in a way that adds value, clothes that open doors, build confidence, command respect, and create financial opportunities, not just fashion for appearance.
Car:
A car should not be a liability. It must support your business, increase mobility, save time, and help you win more opportunities. If it doesn’t help you earn, it’s costing you.
Travel:
Travel should be purposeful mainly for learning, networking, and business opportunities that create growth and returns.
After understanding his message, I agreed with him wholeheartedly and affirmed:
Money no to for eat money na for invest.
