In the book “Flip For Freedom” by Ekene Uchenu; to be rich and remain rich, you must be exceptionally good in your field. You must spend as much time as possible to sharpen your skills. “Jack of all trades” is the surest way to failure.
I know a man who so ate garlic that it started oozing out from his skin. So shall a business owner know his or her craft.
Find a demanding item(s) in the marketplace, focus on learning how to buy, add value and sell this item(s), continue to learn about this item(s) until you are known for it.
It is your responsibility to learn everything possible about your art. Find a successful person in your chosen area, see what you can offer to the person and ask for mentorship. Stand on the shoulders of giants, behold you can see far.

What brings scarcity is a lack of resourcefulness.
Once you become more productive and irreplaceable in the marketplace you are going to be valued more.
IN THE MINDS OF THE MULTIMILLIONAIRES
Traveling deep into the minds of the long term multimillionaires, after having spent months learning from them, I discovered:
1. Those who make and hold their wealth long term possess high quality moral values.
2. They build and nurture responsible relationships.
3. A is A, B is B for them. Truth matters for them.
4. They serve their clients with love. They go extra mile to ensure their customers are happy.
