James said: "Sir things are tough for me, I find it hard to feed, there is no job and I have nobody to turn to"
He told the succesful man about his condition, the man was touched and told him to meet one of his assistants to give him N10,000

The man now turned to John, "how about you, how can I help you?"
John said "Thank you Sir, I think there is something I can help you with, I NOTICED that your garden is unkept, you are a respectable man with very important friends,
John said "Thank you Sir, I think there is something I can help you with, I NOTICED that your garden is unkept, you are a respectable man with very important friends,
it will not be good for your friends to come to your home and see your garden in this state, it will affect your reputation, I can help you to put it in proper shame"
The man says: "yes that is true, I like that, my shower handle is broken too, come with me inside let's see if you can fix it."
Now, James is outside with the assistant to collect N10k, John is inside the house with the boss looking at what he can help him with.
Now, James is outside with the assistant to collect N10k, John is inside the house with the boss looking at what he can help him with.
John charges and is paid N25k every month to keep the garden in proper shape and N10k for fixing the shower handle.
The man likes the job that John does on his garden and recommends him to his fellow succesful friends who have been asking him for who keeps his garden neat,

John charges them N30k every month, there are five of them, John is gradually building a business out of this, he gets other boys to join him and pays each of them 10k and keeps 20k every month.
James begged and got a beggars worth which is likely to be one-off, John is gradually building a business because he brought value to the succesful man and is getting his value's worth.
See, when you are broke is the time to look inwards for what you can offer, it is a time to look at how you can provide help.
What value can you give in exchange for money?
Value is favouritism.
The man that brings value will always be favoured over the other.
