How to spend your time in the morning: a tip for financial success

Some people wake up early in the morning, while some others sleep till late. Guess what all successful entrepreneurs get up early in the morning. Some successful entrepreneurs get up by 6.00am, some are even up by 5.30am. You should get up before Fajr prayers to do Tahajjud prayers, and make supplications to Allah. Tahajjud prayer is not obligatory. Managing your time in the morning effectively and efficiently could become an habit over time once you start managing it. Now I sound like an expert on time management. I just carried out a research which I learnt from and I am delivering it.

Do you know some Chief Executive Officers spend 30 minutes in morning running. It gets them fully prepared for the day. We have 24 hours in a day, 6-8 hours should be spent sleeping, 8 hours is spent working (not everyone, some people work part time or more hours) if you have a regular job (9am to 5pm). Thus, you have 8 free hours left. I am not going to tell to plan every single hour of your day that will be boring. Make sure you do your 5 daily obligatory prayers (Fajr, Zhur, Asr, Maghrib and Isha). Please spend some time doing something spontaneously.

If you are up by 4.30 am in the morning, you should have 4.5 free hours. You should spend at least 30 minutes praying to Allah (be conscious of the time for Fajr prayers). 20 minutes spent on exercises (they run, you do not have to run, just have a form of exercise), 40 minutes bonding with your family if you live with them, like you might have to cook and have a chat or cater to your kids and spouse if you have kids and a spouse. Make sure your job is halal.

Everything happens according to the will of Allah. Everything should be done deliberately for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something for the sake of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him (in this life and life after death).

Halal means anything lawful Islamically. Keep checking my blog regularly. Cheers!

The saverholic

I always say first save your money in an halal account, once it has reached a particular threshold start investing. The saverholic only saves and saves and saves and cannot afford to take well calculated risks. Because, all you do is to save money. Invest in other markets, the higher the risk the higher the return, diversify your investment portfolio. All individuals that have achieved financial growth of great heights are risk takers, and they know that some risk might turn out negative but they know is all part of the process. They learn from it and apply it to the next risk they take and eventually they become experts at the risk they take (risk taken should not be excessive(too much uncertainty)). Then they end up having 80% success rates which I think is good enough. Make sure your business is halal. Give charity regularly from your income, Allah loves charity an...

The need for constant power supply in developing nations

Hello readers, I will be writing about electricity today. I will be using Nigeria as a case study. Electricity is one of the factors that contributes to the success of an organisation. Developed countries have been able to maintain a constant power supply. If they are able to have constant power then it is achievable. Constant electricity could attract good companies, thereby creating employment opportunities. This could alievate poverty in the developing countries. Thus, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the economy will improve. The challenge here with having constant power supply is also not to pollute the environment as fossil fuel is mostly used for the supply of electricity. Greener alternatives could be used such as tidal energy and wind energy. In my opinion, electricity could be constant in Nigeria if the industry is privatised. The privitisation of the telephone industry made mobile phone easily accessible by individuals. Most people own a phone, both ...
