Innovation and Creativity (JohnAJackson) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2011 08:49:27 -0600 From: JohnAJackson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] WestNileNet Digest, Vol 29, Issue 139 Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY Let me start by saying that most people like to work for others because they are not willing to take risks in business ventures. If you belong to this group of people, you can wait. Investing is not a game known by many people as most of us have been raised with the concept of SAVE YOUR MONEY. With Interest rates in Uganda at 15% t0 16% if you have a pool of money somewhere in a bank, may be if you close your eyes for some time, the money will continue to grow. By the time you open your eyes, you are laughing and your pockets are full of money. Don't forget inflation and uncle Sam who wants a share of that money too and your relatives who want a piece of the pie. The concept of pooling money together started a long time ago, and it has been used by banks to make money.They never disclosed to the customers how they use the cusomers money to make money. The commom wisdom "is use money to make more money". In the western world, there are thousands of finance companies that pool money from their members, they use the money for purchasing shares or stocks in the most successfull companies in their own country; and sometimes abroad. This technique is known as MUTUAL FUNDS. Mutual funds are popular vehicles for building wealth for the share holders. Fund managers invest the funds collected from participants in high performing stocks. Have Mutual Funds made millionares? Yes, they have. They have turned ordinary people like you and me into successfull millionares or even billionares over a time. Can you do it alone? May be if you are rich enough. If you are empolyee like me, probably not in the near future. Mutual Funds are tightly regulated so that share holders are not taken advantage of. What we need is strigent rules and regulations of how the funds will be mananaged. Fund owners always get annual statements. They vet the board of directors and hire professionals to manage the funds. Can you opt out of the funds? yes you can, You can withdraw your funds whenever you need them if you are not satisfied with performance or you have emergency like death, etc. Is this one really for me? You have the right to choose. Nobody is forced to invest any way. You can take the horse to the river but you cannot force the horse to drink the water. It will always say "NaY" boss. I am not thirsty. Why did you bring here anyway? I just wanted fill my stomach with more grass. Do I need more education on this? If you do, I can send web links for some well managed International funds for the sceptics to educate themselves. Konwledge is power. Lastly, instead blamming the government all the time, we must become innovative and creative in solving poverty among ourselves, create opportunity for our young men and women who are struggling pushing GADI GADI in Kampala or Arua Park. Many are langushing as security guards in Kampala. The government cannot fix every problem. We have to encourage enterpreneurship and some intelligent risk taking to create more jobs. What did it take a man like Mukwano to become such a billionare in Uganda today? How about the Chawda's in those days, etc,etc? If business is not for you, stay some 100 miles or km away. Wait for our succcessfull West Niles swarve by in their glittering expensive luxury cars drive by some time soon. Wait and see if they will put you in their mercedes, jajuar, etc? God Bless the dedicated team. Don't panick. This is what it takes to build a successful teams. The sceptics will always scare or stare while others are busy pulling the rocks for storeyed building. Sky Crapers are build by big dreamers but not sleepers.
