God sent me to empower the business people, to raise effective leadership and give the youth a sense of direction and achievement: I am to give to the church, the "things" I was giving the business world. This is the number one reason why I wrote this book. I discovered a powerful truth after about twenty years in the world of work and business. The first seven years in two salaried jobs and next ten years as a self employed professional, another three years as people's skills developer, business and leadership coach, and CEO of Christian Leadership Skills Inc., I discovered that having a job gets in the way of getting rich. When you read the next chapter on "21 REASONS WHY YOU MUST FIRE YOUR BOSS AND HIRE YOURSELF," you will see the second reason why I wrote this book. I had an encounter through a chanced discussion with my bank manager some years ago, after ten years of doing business. She asked if I was involved or knowledgeable in investing. Her experience got me startled. I wished I had been to her earlier. She told me that her family had been living on dividend income for about four years following seven years of commitment to investment. This highly paid banker hardly used her salaries nor that of her husband's business to run the family. They never needed to. I learnt the difference between earning money and making money. Prior to this period, I was working harder than my money. Following this divine enlightenment, I learnt, how to make my money work harder and how to be rich. This is the third reason why I wrote this book - to get your job out of your way, so you can be rich. Your employers can never make you rich.
