Dear Investor,
I recently came across a powerful video that reminded me of a core lesson from The Richest Man in Babylon—the idea that money should give birth to babies before you spend it.
In the video, the speaker Ugochukwu Omeogu said something profound:
“Any income you have is not meant for expenses. Income is meant to be multiplied before it is spent… The money that my money made is what I use as capital. Even if it fails, it’s not my sweat.”
This echoes what Arkad taught in Babylon: “Make thy gold multiply.”
Wealth is not simply earned—it is grown. It’s not about spending your sweat; it’s about planting your gold so it births generations of income.
As we read the book Richest man in babylon this month, this is a reminder to reflect deeply. Are you spending your gold before it has time to multiply? Or are you letting it work for you—even in small ways?
Here is the video, I have literally listened over and over again, up to 50 times if not more, while reflecting deeply. (Video credit: siliconafrica.org)

If money and wealth is created by physical effort, I've been on crutches for over 38 years, I'm not supposed to be a rich man.
Poor people look for money, rich men look for knowledge. And the last time I check, those who look for money don't have it.
Any income you have, by all means, is not meant for expenses. Income are meant to be multiplied before they are spent.
I am not spending a dime of my money. I am not spending my sweat money.
I have money grown on the third level and fourth level generation.
Which means it's the money that my money made that is going to be the capital to start it.
So even if it fails, it has nothing to do with my sweat.
The essence of making money is to multiply it before you spend it.
