BUSINESS LESSON: Do Business To Be Rich Not To Look Rich

Posted by: lukwago J in Uganda news December 23, 2020

I often say I do business to be rich not to look rich. If you follow my posts on my social media, I don’t fake them, I share real and practical lessons. I don’t envy looking rich, but I am building a strong foundation based on reality.

Most entrepreneur miss it. Being the owner of a group of companies, I have managed to accumulate wealth. Sometimes I seat down and look at the varsity territory that I have created for the past decade and a half, I feel satisfied.

If you come to our organization you find me at the back seat. The most expensive shoe that I have bought in my entire life was for $150.00, and the most expensive shirt that I have ever bought in my life it was for $90. The most expensive Jean trouser that I have ever bought in my life was $95.00.

There are young people out there who are buying outfit costing more than $300.00 yet their salaries are less than $1000.00 per month.

You need to be very careful where you are investing your money. Does it help you to look rich while in your real life you are poor. Choose wisely. Don’t suffer trying to impress people. Live your life in reality. You don’t owe anybody your life.

Build confidence in your character not in your wealth. Many people think that it’s important to create wealth or fake a wealth life in order to get respect and feel confident. That is wrong. Just be simple and work hard. Once you build a good visible wealthy, you will be confident and people will give the respect that you deserve.

Time in time out I get invites to very high profile gathering and there are some meetings I turn down if I see that it will tarnish my reputation.

There are people who claim favor using my name. I have heard several occasions when people demand service or favor claiming to be associated with my name.

Many people know my name but they don’t know the real person. Several occasions people ask me ” are you the real Mr Barmlo”

In most cases I just say I am the young brother to Mr Barmlo.

This message just warns you, not to waste money and time faking to be rich. Just be humble enough and committed to work hard, the same influence you are looking for, it will be given to you. You do not need to claim influence but it shall be dully given to you by your deeds and status.

Each time I get an opportunity to meet a head of state, cabinet minister or any high profile person in the country, I don’t bow down, I speak with confidence that made those people to ask for my opinion.

Several times I get involved in conversations with people of authority asking for my advice on certain issues. That alone is a clear indication that in my humble and simple look, I am on the right direction.

Be yourself, do what you know best and always present a real picture of what you do. Don’t fake it. Keep it real.
