The funniest thing happened to me the other day. It was extremely random, but also amazing and you will want to hear this.
I caught the train home from church (where I played guitar at) and I was carrying my guitar. I was walking home and I was just opposite my house on the other side of the road when a car pulls up. I thought the guys were asking for directions so I went over to them. The man in the passenger side said to me “Hey man, do you want an amp?” and I was like “Yes!” and then he was like “How about a microphone stand and a microphone???” and again I was like “YES!”
Turns out on of the 2 guys (in their 20’s) was moving away to indonesia to live the dream and go surfing and just hang out. He just moved out of his house and was trying to get rid of all of this stuff. So I said “whatever you are giving away give it to me” so I got all of this free stuff.
Here is a list of everything I got for FREE
- A 70 Watt Guitar Amp
- A nylon String Guitar
- A kitesurfing kite
- A set of golf clubs and bag
- Snowboarding gear (boots, straps, helmet, goggles)
- Microphone Stand
- Microphone
- Dvd Player
So this was my lucky day. I was over the moon. But don’t worry I am getting to the point really soon. See the reason I was so happy is because all of this stuff I can sell on ebay and make a fair amount of money from. My capacity is that I can sell things on ebay, and it is this skill that I have that made this opportunity a lot bigger than if I was just getting free stuff.
I have no use for a kitesurfing kite, or a set of golf clubs or snowboarding gear. But because of my capacity to be able to sell things the opportunity increased for me. Instead of just getting some free stuff, I got stuff I could sell and get some money for. Now I really need the money badly so this came at the perfect time. I am hoping to make about $500 on all this gear and put it towards a ring I am saving up for for my girlfriend.
So as you increase your capacity then your opportunities will increase. You will go from just getting a guitar amp (figuratively speaking) to getting a whole lot of stuff and turning it into money.
How do you increase your capacity?
Increase Your Skills - My skills to use ebay and the internet/computers (which is not a skill to some, but some people find it very hard) increased my opptortunity. As you increase your skills then your opportunities will begin to increase. Look for areas you enjoy and increase your skills in those areas, that way when opportunities come you will want to take them because they are areas you are interested in.
Increase Your Ability to See and Take Opportunities - As soon as these guys started offering me stuff my mind wents like this “I can sell all this stuff on Ebay and make money”. I saw the opportunity to make a fair amount of money straight away and therefore I tried to make the most of it and get everything I could.
As soon as something comes your way be thinking “How is this an Opportunity” and then be thinking “How can I take this opportunity” for me it was getting EVERYTHING they were giving away. For you it might be something different.
Every situation is life can be an opportunity for something, you just need to be able to see it and act upon it and take the opportunity. Get good at seeing things for the opportunity they really are and taking that opportunity.
Give - Giving to others increases your opportunity. Because by tithing and giving you open room in your life for blessing to come. If you life is full then you can never take opportunities because you don’t have room for them, however if you give 10% then your life is not full and when opportunities come then you are there to take them and increase.
I am a christian and I tithe 10% and I recommend everyone who wants to be a millionaire starts tithing 10% of everything they earn to any church, charity or local community of their choice. Tithing opens up doorways for opportunity.
So remember every situation is an opportunity, learn to see them and take as many opportunities as you can.

This “Our Deepest Fear in Not That We Are Inadequate” speech can be found on the movie Coach Carter, but it was originally spoken by Nelson Mandella in 1994.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so other people won’t feel insecure around you.I discovered this speech while watching the movie Coach Carter which is without a doubt one of my favourite movies. It is inspiration and it pumped me up to be all that I can be. I hope that it pumps you up to be all that you can be in every area of your life.
We were born to manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some; it’s in all, everyone. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Nelson Mandela, 1994 Inaugural Speech
I chose this speech as the starting post of my website “Fool’s Wealth” because I believe there is a power in this speech that resonates within everyone. Everyone wants to be something great and do something great, but often the troubles of life stop us from ever stepping out to be all that you can be.
I believe that everyone of us can be wealthy and with this wealth we can change the world for the better. But often we are so scared at losing wealth that we never step out to get it. I believe you don’t have to have a degree to be wealthy, you don’t have to have an IQ of 150 to be wealthy, heck you don’t even have to have a highschool education and you can be wealthy.
We so often don’t want to take risks because we are afraid of looking like fools. Well I’ve got some news for you…you are all fools anyway. Everyone stuffs up, everyone is a fool (even me). So stop worrying about looking like a fool because the only fool is the person who does nothing.
So in this site I am endevour to teach each and every fool the secrets to making a million dollars and becoming wealthy. I also intend to teach each person not to be a greedy and selfish person but be be generous with their wealth in such a way that they can make a lasting positive impact on the world in which we live in.
So if you want to be wealthy, but never thought you had what it takes, then let me teach you. Any fool can become wealthy, I am going to show you how.
