Introduction: As a working professional, you're likely always looking for ways to stay ahead of the curve in today's rapidly-changing marketplace. I am going to share with you my notes after I read the book Business @ The Speed of Thoughts by Bill Gates. This book is all about how technology is transforming business and offers some valuable insights that I think you'll find useful.

This means that the company's operations can work together seamlessly, regardless of location or department. Think about it like the human nervous system. It coordinates all of our bodily functions and helps us respond to environmental changes. In the same way, a d

Financial Planning: Not Just for the Rich

Everyone needs a financial plan, regardless of their income or net worth. Many people believe that financial planning is only for the wealthy, but this simply isn't true. Financial planning is essential for people of all income levels and backgrounds, as it helps to ensure that your money is working for you and your future.

I was fortunate to join the financial industry when I graduated. I learn a lot about financial planning and management knowledge and practice some of it. I want to share with you today one rule that I have practised since then, which is to pay yourself first.

Pay yourself first!

Meet Ali (not a real name), a husband of a newborn baby working as a teacher in secondary school. He wants to buy a new laptop which is lightweight for her wife to use in teaching. She is also a teacher in the same secondary school. 

Ali started practising financial planning by creating a budget, reducing his debt, and setting aside money for emergencies. He learned about the importance of saving for the future, and he started putting aside a portion of his monthly income for this purpose.

After many months, which Ali did not share with me the duration he took to save for this amount of money, he found my posting on Facebook Marketplace that I am selling a Microsoft Surface Pro 7. When we meet, he hands over to me a stack of cash. My hands are shaking when I collect the money from him. I told him that I had received his payment with a heavy heart. I can feel the sincerity and the high self-discipline over the years that he save enough money to buy this item. I wish him the best of luck in his life and career. May God bless him with bundles of happiness, wealth and health.

Like Ali, you don't have to be wealthy to benefit from financial planning. Financial planning can help you to:

  1. Achieve your financial goals, whether it's buying a home, starting a business, or retiring comfortably.
  2. Manage your debt and reduce your interest payments.
  3. Build an emergency fund to protect against unexpected expenses.
  4. Invest your money wisely, so that it grows over time.
  5. Minimize your tax, so that you keep more of your hard-earned money.

If you're ready to take control of your finances, consider seeking the help of a financial planner. A financial planner can help you to understand your financial situation, develop a plan to achieve your goals, and provide ongoing support and guidance.

In conclusion, financial planning is not just for the rich. It's for anyone who wants to take control of their finances and build a secure financial future. Whether you're a single parent, a recent graduate, or a retiree, financial planning can help you to achieve your goals and live the life you want. Don't wait any longer, start your financial plan today!
