Financial Empowerment as the key to Wealth.
Financial empowerment is when you as an income earner can build up your own wealth from your income so as to become wealthy in no time. Wealth start as a mere seed that was accumulated over a period of time, invested in a good venture in order to earn more for the investor. Even as a big time investor, you can spread and maintain your wealth through what you are presently generating. The question now is, are you making or trying to make money? If you are making money, are you trying to spend it or you are trying to save some? When you receive money what do you do with it?
Let your Desire give you Direction.
Your thinking on money should be your driving force on how to work to make money. Apart from thinking on how to make money, also try to reduce your meditation on ways of spending your hard earned money and increase your thinking on how to invest it. This will help you to have a focus on how to achieve your set goal. One thing you should bear in mind is when you focus your mind on investment strategies your thought will definitely give birth to investment plan and such plan when fully implemented will definitely yield the desire result; if they were properly drawn. Most people are only living in their present state without future plan and nothing to fall back on when the future come calling on them. Always think of what you should do to attract money into your life through investment as money freely come to those who are fully prepared for it. You most understand that opportunity is a haughty goddess that waste no time with those unprepared. People that think, there is no money can never make it in life no matter how hard they try, but those who say, there is money even when they have not reach it are the those that goes all the way to make it in life.
Get the Power to Predict your Future Income
It is much easier to say how much is your income per time i.e. the amount of money you will receive at the end of the month or the amount of money that will come into your account. But when it involves predicting your expenses, it becomes so difficult because there are so many external factors that influence your expenses. Then it will definitely be better to pay more attention to increasing your income, even though try to reduce your expenses is equally important. Because sometimes, there will be some inevitable circumstances which might be beyond your control. In such a situation your best option is to put in place a system that will help you to create more cash flow into your account on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis. This is because records had shown that leaving your finances in the hands of the future is like planting seeds in a field without weeding and expecting a good harvest thereafter. Wealth for the future must be built from your income generated today.

For oil and gas business, people must use energy to move around, or prepare food and maintain their machine that uses oil or gas. Therefore whether, it is in recession or in time of plenty, money must exchange hands in these three basic industries i.e. they will always remain the highest source of income generation for many.

If you have not yet developed investment strategies, don't even think of taking up any investment responsibility; neither should you think of stock market pending when you have develop one. When you have planned on how to utilize your financial proceeds for reinvestment, please don't withdraw from your saving except you have listed what you want to expend the money on because discipline is the keyword for stock trading especially, if you are a high risk investment taker. You most write down what to use the money for. In planning to use part of your income for investment, ensure you first write out what your salary and income are and then, outline all your expenditure. When that is done, the rest is for your investment. If what is left is too small, introduce a saving plan that will lead to investment plan.
