How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Some years back, I was a student of Botany in one of the state universities
in Nigeria.
Needless to say, I never planned to study Botany but after 4 years of failing
“almighty JAMB” as they call it, what was I supposed to do when I was given
the chance to study Botany?
Like other students, I jumped right into the first mistake that majority of
students make when they go to the university which is…

The title of the book is “Multiple Streams of Income” by Robert G. Allen and
it was priced at N1600.
I bought it immediately and forgot about the food. The remaining hours of
that day was spent consuming the contents of the book…instead of
consuming food.
The funny thing is that I only understood of what I was reading from the
book at that particular time.
This was the first book that I bought that taught practical means of making
money.
Before this time, I had already read a lot of books on motivation and
financial wisdom.
Books Like:
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

These techniques work both online and offline and they have been
responsible for helping me to make money and live comfortably without
having a job.
Turning yourself into a living breathing cash machine and maintaining that
status is a journey, not a destination.
This is due to the fact that you have to keep increasing your capacity. The
amount of money you can generate and hold.
I still get new lessons and training everyday about this part of my life.
When you become a live breathing cash machine, what happens is that you
suddenly become confident about money issues and you no longer have
money worries.
Let me explain what I mean by that.
Let‟s take a look at what the majority of people out there do when it comes
to the issue of money:
The normal routine is that you go to school to study a course or become an
apprentice to learn a skill that you can now use to get a job or be self-
employed.
The catastrophe about this is that the world we live in has changed and is
still changing. In today‟s world, the competition in the labour market has
made it difficult for even people with Master‟s degrees to get a good job.
Not only that, the majority of people who get jobs don‟t make enough
money to sustain and enjoy their lives the way they would love to.
And because they are not “live breathing cash machines,” they wake up each
day and go to work hoping that they will not be fired and hoping that their
employer will increase their salary.
When people like these lose their jobs, it is almost like hell for them
because of 2 reasons:
1. It is a tough world out there when it comes to getting another job.
2. Most people have no idea about what they can do to make money. The
only way to make money they have been taught is to look for a job.

PREDATOR OR PREY?
One of my major understanding about life that I try to feed into the ears of
people around me is that either you like it or not, life is made up of 2 groups
of creatures and I am not talking about human beings and animals.
No. I am talking about PREYS and PREDATORS.
In life, it is either you are a predator or a prey.
Page 8 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
In the case of animals, they usually don‟t have a choice in choosing which
group they belong to.
For instance, either they like it or not, animals like antelopes and deers are
prey to other carnivorous animals like the lion or the tiger.
Smaller fishes in the sea are prey to sharks and other carnivorous sea
creatures.
But in case of humans, we have the ability to decide if we want to be a prey
or a predator. We have the power to choose but majority of people live their
whole lives as a prey to other people who are predators.
So, how do you know if you are a prey or a predator?
You are a prey when you ONLY depend on the government to feed you and
help you pay your bills.
When you want more, you can only look up to the government to help you
and when the government does not respond, there is little or absolutely
nothing you can do.
You may not believe this but there are people here in Nigeria who do not
care about what the government comes up with. As a matter of fact, they
even control and influence the government.
They do not care if a litre of petrol sells for N1000. I am not just saying this,
I have actually met with people like this.
Let‟s think about that a little.
If a litre of petrol suddenly starts to sell for N1000, what do you think will
happen?
The first thing that is likely to happen is that employees will go on a
nationwide strike.
Then later on, they will go on another strike to demand that the government
should increase their salary.
Sounds normal. Right?
It is because that is what you have been made to believe. Life starts to take
a new turn when you begin to see things from a different perspective.
Page 9 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Another way to think about this theory of PREDATORS and PREYS is to think
about Charles Darwin‟s evolutional theory of Natural selection which was
coined “Survival of the Fittest” by a man known as Herbert Spencer.
You can fight it all you want but things won‟t change because of your
fighting. That is the way the world was made to operate.
The fittest people survive and enjoy. The weak people suffer and die.
And mind you, the fitness I am talking about has nothing to do with
muscles. The strong people of today are not tall men with bulging muscles.
They are men with clear business sense who make a lot of money and who
use that money to do whatever is important to them.
People with a lot of money have plenty options available to them in life.
People with limited amount of money have fewer options, even fewer
sources of income.
But again, the good news is that you have the choice, the power to become
a predator or remain a prey.
Most people who earn low wages are always angry at people who make a lot
of money.
If you are riding in your BMW X6 for instance and you are stuck in traffic,
just take some time and observe the look of people around you especially
those in crooked cars, you will see that their faces are usually filled with a lot
of hatred but does that change anything?
If you currently earn N30, 000 a month for instance and you are annoyed
with your boss who earns N350, 000 per month, things will not change for
you just because you are annoyed.
In fact, you may even get fired if your boss finds out that you are annoyed
with him. So, what you will do like most employees is to pretend that you
like your job and your lousy boss so that he can pay you at the end of the
month.
But think about it this way: What about if you decide to work on
improving yourself so that you make yourself strong financially so that you
no longer have to depend on your boss?
Page 10 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
That is a decision that you have the power to make and nobody will make it
for you…and when it comes to money matters, I have found out that the
best way to get rid of money worries is to master the rare act of making
money and making it work for you.
As a living breathing cash machine, you do not have to make yourself
uncomfortable just to make a living. The live breathing cash MACHINE ability
in you gives you the power to make good money anytime you want and the
quantity of money you make depends on how big you can think and your
personal financial goals.
I will talk more about this later on.
I hope you get the idea and I hope this book will bless your lives in ways you
never thought possible.

That reminds me of a story about Julius Casear that I read when I was in
school that explains how powerful a strong desire is.
According to the story, Julius Caesar led an army to England and when he
landed, he was determined to take no chances of retreat. He had to win at
all cost.
He wanted to show his troops that their invasion meant victory or death. So
he burned all the ships that brought them to England right before their eyes.
His objective was not a hope or a wish, but a hot desire that was bigger than
anything else.
This is the type of desire that you need to have if you really want to win and
that is the only thing you need.

really, really want to turn into a live breathing cash machine, they will
persist till they succeed.
So, which set do you belong to out of the 3?
Only one thing will determine the answer and that is:
This desire compelled him into making plans and getting into action and
soon, he became the first black multimillionaire in America.
So, once again – “Will this book change your life?”
There is only one person who can truly answer that question and that person
is YOU.

Years ago back in school, one of my course mates saw me reading Robert
Kiyosaki‟s book Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
He didn‟t waste time to tell me how he felt bored reading the book and
couldn‟t make it to the middle. Where he got it wrong was when he told me
that I will soon get bored reading the book too.
He was wrong!
I have now read the book over 20 times simply because we have different
desires.
So, if you are able to indeed read this book to the end, that should give you
an idea of how you really want to get this part of your life handled.
By the way, this book might contain a lot of grammatical errors or phrases
and sentences that grammarians will frown at. If you are reading for the
purpose of picking out these errors rather than learning from it, enjoy
yourself.
This book also contains a lot of quotes from the Holy Bible and other people
whose words have influenced me. In case you are not a Christian, don‟t
ignore the Bible quotes. What is important is the wisdom in each quote.
I wish you the best.

SECTION ONE
It All Starts With You and Your Belief System
Page 16 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
People spend all their entire lives working to get money. Yet, they behave as
if getting money is something that is either evil or is of little importance.
Have you heard the saying before that “money is the root of all evil?”
It is a saying that was developed and spread by people with a poverty
mindset. Meanwhile, the real saying which comes from the bible is that “the
love of money is the root of all evil”
This means when you love money so much that you want to acquire it by
any means possible, it drives you to pursue all sorts of evil means to get it.
But there is also another side of the coin that is often not talked about and
that is “the lack of money as well is the root of all sorts of evils”
Think about it.
A lot of people take to robbery, kidnapping, killing just because they lack
money and the only way they think they can get it is by force even when it
means attacking other people.
Page 17 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
When you understand that money is not evil, you will feel confident in
learning about how to attract more money into your life.
Some several years ago, I attended a one-week boot camp and one of the
highlights of the boot camp had to do with financial freedom.
This single part of the boot camp is one of the powerful events that changed
my life.
The speaker who delivered the training for the financial freedom aspect of
the boot camp happened to be a Polytechnic graduate who now employs a
lot of polytechnic and university graduates.
How?
It was because he decided to figure out how to solve this mystery called
“money”
When the subject of money is raised, people suddenly freeze up and behave
as if you just raised a topic that has to do with killing babies.
One of the books he recommended to us during his speech was Napoleon
Hill‟s first bestseller, Think and Grow Rich
I quickly started searching all nearby bookshops to get a copy of this book
after the programme. I eventually got one after about 3 months.
I have now read Think and Grow Rich about 40 times but the first time I
read it, I couldn‟t understand a word of it.
Meanwhile, some of my friends and course mates started to “warn” me that
I was thinking too much about getting rich.
But really, is it a bad thing to think about getting rich and is not thinking
about getting rich the good choice?
Make no mistake about this – Thoughts are things. Your consistent
thoughts eventually have a way of manifesting in your life.
I could go on and on about this but the main lessons I need you to dwell on
from this section are:
1. There are two types of mindsets about money and whichever one you
choose eventually affects the flow of money to you. It is either you
Page 18 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
2. People with prosperity mindset believe that there is a lot of money out
there and they also believe that it is theirs. They treat money decently
and appreciate other people.
3. People with the poverty mindset believe that money is scarce, they
treat and handle money indecently and they hate people who are
wealthy which is why they remain poor.
Page 19 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
One of the main problems that people have with money is that we often
think it is a bunch of special papers printed by the CBN.
Why is it that some people have a lot of money sometimes running into
billions whereas some other people struggle to even acquire tens of
thousands?
The first thing that we should be looking at is the mentality of scarcity or
plenty but that is not all.
The other thing is what I call the law of value and that brings us to the real
definition of money.
I think if you are going to be a live breathing cash machine, you have to
know exactly what money is and how it works. Most people really have no
idea what money is.
So, what is money?
I wasn‟t a good economics student while in school but I remember that in
economics, they taught us that “Money is primarily a medium of exchange or
means of exchange.
It is a way for a person to trade what he has for what he wants”
That means the more exchange a person does to get other people what they
want, the more money you make.
In case you don‟t, this is what it means – “Money is a means of
exchanging what you have for what you need.”
Page 20 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
In short, what you want to use as exchange to get what you want has to be
something that is of value so that you can get value in return.
So, if you have a lot of lands for instance and you want money, all you have
to do is to sell the lands and get money for it. People who pay you money
are also getting what they want (the land) by using what they have (money)
If you want more money, then you simply sell more land.
Now, notice the way I used “land” in the illustration above to replace value.
This tells us that at any point in time, value equals money and money equals
value which gives us this equation.
Value = Money
Page 21 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
You sell your skills and services to make money (e.g teaching,
consulting)
You sell your stocks, bonds, lands and other assets e.t.c to make
money…
What determines what you get in return for the value you are
exchanging are two things:
1. The Quality of the Value
Page 22 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
This has to do with the ascribed importance that what you are offering has
as long as the buyer is concerned.
o Why do some schools charge as high as N700, 000 per year while
some other schools can‟t even charge up to N35, 000 per year?
o Why do some phones sell for as high as N300,000 while some struggle
to sell for only N15,000?
o Why does it cost N2 million to buy a plot of lands in some places when
you can buy a plot of land for N200, 000 in some other areas?
Page 23 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
It is simple calculation. Right? Yet, a lot of people do not realize this simple
truth.
If you happen to be a barber for instance, there is only a limited number of
haircuts that you can cut per day.
If one hair cut cost N300, and you can only do 100 haircuts in a day even
when you are working at your max, then that automatically puts a lid on
your income.
In order for you to increase how much you are making per day, you will
have to cut more and since you can‟t do that alone, you will need to bring in
other people to help you.
If you do that, your income will continue to go up until you can no longer do
so.
That is usually the problem with people who make money by selling skills
and services that take a good amount of time to deliver.
If you are a teacher for instance, it is likely that your income won‟t be much
based on the quality or quantity of your service.
In order to increase your income, you will have to do any of the
following:
1. Improve the quality of value you are selling to what your marketplace
can perceive and pay higher prices for it.
2. Improve your system of selling so that you are able to sell higher
quantities and therefore make more money.
Let me explain the 2 options above by assuming that you are own a barbing
shop.
If you charge N300 per hair-cut for instance and you want to improve the
quality of your service to make more money, you may find ways to do so
like changing the seats in your barbing shop, putting an AC, a better TV and
cable for customers to enjoy e.t.c
With that, you may bump up your charge per haircut to N500 based on
feedback from your customers.
Page 24 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
With this change in price, you will see that you only need 12 haircuts to
make N6000 whereas when you were charging N300, you would need 20
hair-cuts to make N6000.
Secondly, you need to sell more to make more…
Instead of improving your barbing services for instance and increasing the
price of your haircut to N500, you may increase the number of customers
that can be served at once in your shop.
So, let‟s say you spend 30 minutes on one customer, you can employ other
well trained barbers to help you so that that same 20 minutes can now be
spent on 3 customers.
At the end of the month, you will see that you have been able to make more
money that you were doing before and you have more money to invest in
your business just by increasing the quantity of value that you are selling to
people.

As at the time of writing this report, one of the top news in the business
scene is that Facebook acquired a company known as Whatsapp for a
whopping $19 billion.
By the way, what does Whatsapp do? Whatsapp is mainly a mobile software
that allows users of different phones to chat. Facebook acquired it for $19
billion because they had already built a super system with a massive 450
million users.
The lesson here is that when you start to think of the type of value you can
exchange in order to be able to make a lot of money, you shouldn‟t be
thinking about physical products only.
Value can be abstract things like advice, concepts, codes, ideas, trademarks
e.t.c
I think I have been able to explain this money concept properly. Let us now
move to the next chapter to talk about more important things.

SECTION TWO
Start At the Beginning

How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Some people can generate up to N100m within a week when they need it.
Some can only generate N1m within a week.
Some can only generate N100k within a week.
These are different levels and each level is based upon the mindset,
understanding, network and skills of that person.
Which level do you intend to get to?
People who are able to generate up to N100m within a week operate at a
higher level than people who can only make N1m a week at their maximum
capacity.
That means they put in more effort.
One of the things that would determine the kind of results you can generate
and how big you can think is your environment.
Back in 2010, I was living in my hometown, a small town where you can get
a comfy, 3 bedroom apartment for around N200,000 a year.
If you decide to eat outside, you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner for
about N1,200 in total.
If you use public transport, you can‟t spend more than N400 per day and if
you have your own car, you do not need more than 10 litres per day to run
your errands within the town.
People who earn about N200,000 and above in a month can live lavishly
based on what I just told you.
I knew what I wanted but my environment wouldn‟t allow my thinking to
enter that range so, one day I was reading a book authored by Rev. Sam
Adeyemi of Daystar Christian Centre.
In the book, he said something like this: “If you want to catch a whale, you
can‟t do it hunting in the stream around your house. You have to go out into
the sea where the whales are”
That was it.

Once you have been able to decide where you are right now in terms of the
level of your desire and how far you want to go, the next thing is to start to
work on your thinking immediately.
Why?
The most powerful part of your body is your brain but unfortunately, that is
the part that is usually under-developed in most people.
If most people will pay more attention to developing their brains the way
they develop their bodies by going to the gym, the world will be a better
place for them.
How do you develop your brain?
Page 30 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
There is only one way to develop any part of your body and that is by
activating the law of use and disuse.
Law of Use and Disuse: This law states that any part of your body that
you stop using begins to die and any part that you use consistently
continues to develop in nature.
Page 31 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Live breathing cash machines are people who know how to think and who do
a lot of productive thinking.
This should become one of your habits too.
Page 32 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
But how best it works for you is going to depend on the state of your brain.
That is why you need to start putting your brain to use in various situations
right now so that you can get it stronger.
You can‟t become a live breathing cash machine without the ability to think.
Thinking produces ideas and ideas are what eventually leads to plans that
produces money.
Also, the quality of the ideas you get is based on the quality of your
thoughts.
How do you get quality thoughts?
Page 33 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
- Sight
- Smell
- Touch
- Sound
- And …Taste
All these senses have a way of sending in data into your mind either you like
it or not.
For instance, when you taste a type of vegetable for the first time and it is
bitter, your mind stores that data so that when you come across the same
vegetable again, your mind quickly generates an output to remind you that
this vegetable leads to something uncomfortable (bitter in the mouth)
However, the two senses I want to talk about here are that of sight and
sound.
Why?
It is because these two senses are the main gateways that we use to get
information into our minds.
Sight – Take this book you are reading now for instance, you are taking all
this information in with the aid of your eyes before your brain interprets it.
The same thing happens when you read a magazine, a newspaper, an article
etc.
The same thing also happen when you see a picture of anything as well. As a
matter of fact, it has been discovered that in most cases, the mind is able to
easily interpret pictures than words.
Sound – how do you know when someone is calling your name? A particular
sound goes in through your ear and is interpreted by your brain.
The same thing happens when you listen to your radio, when someone is
talking to you or when you are listening to an audio recording.
Atimes, your sight and sound senses work together at the same time like
when you are watching the TV or looking at someone and listening to them
at the same time.
Page 34 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Since information can be passed into your mind mainly via these two senses,
that tells us that you need to do two things if you want to increase the
quantity of quality thoughts that you get.
The two things are:
1. Reduce the amount of bad information that you allow into your mind
every second.
2. Increase the amount of high quality information that you allow into
your mind.
Let’s talk about bad information – this reminds me of a story I read in a
book about when the depression hit the US hard around 1930. There was a
man who owned a bakery business and his business was doing so well. He
didn‟t listen to the radio and he didn‟t read the newspaper so he didn‟t know
there was a depression.
All was going good until his son came home from school one day and told
him something like “Dad, how come you are doing all these business when
the economy is bad? Don’t you know people are losing their jobs and people
are going out of business?”
He then went ahead and exposed the man to all sorts of data about how the
economy was crashing and soon enough, the man started to think about
these things and his business started to decrease until he went out of
business.
The best sources of bad information has always been from people around
you and the news.
If you have a lot of negative people around you, your journey to becoming a
live breathing cash machine will be a difficult one because these people are
going to influence you over and over with the negative data that they
consistently program into your mind.
The same thing happens with the news. While it is a good thing to have an
idea of things that are going on around you, you should limit the amount of
news that you feed on and you should train yourself not to dwell upon them.
Page 35 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
You can program your mind in such a way so that it can always spit out high
quality thoughts and ideas.
You can do so by intentionally surrounding yourself with big thinkers, people
who consistently shower you with positive words and who believe in you and
let you know it.
You can do so by intentionally and consistently feeding your mind with
excellent and prosperity implying pictures.
You can do so by listening to audio recordings that are filled with valuable
information that can motivate you or help you get better in life.
You can do so by attending seminars, conferences and events where you are
exposed to information that help you think bigger, get better and do better
in life.
You can do so by reading books, reports and manuscripts that help you to
develop the mindset of an unstoppable live breathing cash machine
Become a Reader
Let‟s talk about reading.
About 10 years ago, I heard the following statements I am about to list
below for the first time and these statements affected me deeply:
Statement One – Readers are Leaders and Leaders are Readers.
Page 36 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Statement Two - The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." ― Dr. Seuss, Author of
I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
Statement Three – If you want to hide anything valuable from a black
man, hide it in a book because he won‟t read it.
If you look closely at men who have succeeded greatly, one of the things
you will notice about all of them is that they usually have a library filled with
books.
They are always book junkies.
Why?
Let me give you a quote from Joseph Addison to answer why.
Some months ago, my very good friend and mentor, Akin Alabi just bought
a big house worth millions of naira.
I and a few friends went over and he was showing us around the house. One
thing that caught my attention was his huge library of books. Only God
knows how much this man has spent buying all sorts of books on success,
motivation, leadership, business and marketing.
No wonder he is a multi-millionaire and no wonder he is a rare live breathing
cash machine.
Apart from thinking, another productive activity that people avoid is reading.
Reading expands your mind. Reading strengthens your imagination…and
reading helps you to understand and master a lot of things.
If you want to become a huge live-breathing cash machine, you can‟t do
without reading.
Page 37 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Anyone who reads and reads consistently eventually will have a better
understanding than others and this is exactly what happens when it comes
to the issue of money.
Page 38 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
The fact that you are reading this book means you are at least better than
most people out there who do not read a single book about their finances all
year.
We live in a period that is considered to be the best so far in the history of
mankind. One of the reasons is because you can have access to books on
almost any topic you want.
With the internet and with a powerful search engine like Google, you can sit
down in your house and literally turn yourself into an expert at any topic you
pick.
Generally, you should read books about every areas of your life but since
this book is about helping you to turn into a live breathing cash MACHINE,
the books you should read are the ones on success, business and direct
marketing.
More on direct marketing later in this book.

SECTION THREE
Tame These 3 Demons – Fear, Laziness and
Procrastination
This section is actually going to be short but the message here is very
important.
Before you start to think about some imaginary evil spirit, I need to let you
know that I used the word “demon” to describe these strong interferences
that usually stand between a person and their goals.
The truth is that everybody, young and old, poor and rich all have these 3
demons somewhere in their lives but the difference between people who are
successful and people who are not is that successful people have learned to
put them under control.

Another thing that I learned while reading about how to become confident is
that – “the very act of gathering more information about any particular area
gives you more confidence in that area”
For instance, while reading books about how to eliminate the fear of public
speaking, I stumbled upon some tactics that one could use to fake
confidence until you become confident.
I used it the very first time I was called upon to speak in public and while I
didn‟t give a smooth public presentation, I was able to actually pull through
Page 41 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
and when I was though, the thought that “It wasn‟t as hard as I thought
flashed across my mind”
Another thing is that as you gain more experience in the area you used to
fear, your level of confidence is going to increase but it all starts when you
confront your fears and move forward towards what you are afraid of.
That also reminds me of one of the students who attended one of my QCC
trainings.
By the way, QCC is short for Quick Crazy Cash.
This particular student sent me an email after 6 months and told me that he
was unable to start anything despite the training that he got from me.
Why?
He said he was afraid of what would happen if it did not work.
But how does someone know if something won‟t work when you are yet to
start it.
This is the fear of failure and it is the same reason why a lot of people don‟t
start a business or do something that they really want to do in life.
This is what I call the fear demon and there are various types of fear. Some
of them include the fear of poverty and the fear of losing money.
Check yourself to see what you are afraid of especially when it comes to the
issue of money and begin to take steps that will help you tame the fear.

There is a saying that I hear people say from time to time, maybe they
heard about it from a pastor or some motivational speaker.
The saying goes like this:
“I want to work smarter, not harder”
While the people they heard this saying from actually have a good
understanding of what they mean, in most cases, the people who go about
chanting it think “been smart is a way to avoid hard work”
People who are successful are both smart at doing their work and they are
also hardworking.
I have met a lot of successful people and I don‟t think any of them is nothing
less than hardworking.
If you want to become a live breathing cash machine, you have to forget the
rubbish about not working hard.
You are actually going to work harder and smarter than others.
One of the main lessons that I learnt from Brian Tracy‟s books is that:
“Successful people are people who do what unsuccessful people are not
willing to do”
Page 43 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Things like:
- Waking up and starting work early
- Reading books
One of the major causes of failure is just plain laziness and majority of
people are lazy.
Take reading a book for instance, a lot of people can‟t read a book from the
beginning till the end even if it is a small book. However, these same people
can sit down for countless hours and watch TV or spend time gossiping with
their friends or arguing about all sort of things they have no control over like
sports or politics.
Are you lazy?
If you are, you can make a decision today to put in more efforts into building
your life.
Page 44 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
The truth is that if you are willing to work hard at anything and learn along,
you will eventually get results.
To cut the long story short, the main message here is that you should resist
the urge to be lazy if you really want to become a LBCM and get more out of
life.
Here is another quote about hardwork from Michelangelo who has been held
to be one of the greatest artists of all time:
Do It Now!
When is the right time for you to get started on your journey to becoming a
LBCM?
The right time is now!
I used to be very sluggish at making decisions and taking action. This is one
of the habits of people who fail in life.
Page 45 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
This is one of the most powerful habits that prevents a lot of people from
moving ahead in life just because we are waiting for the right time to start
doing something worthwhile.
The only cure to procrastination is this: Do not wait!
According to the words of Napoleon Hill in his book, Think and Rich –

PART TWO
The Act of Generating Cash
on Demand
Page 47 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
SECTION FOUR
Meet the Cash on Demand Masters
Many of the things I will be sharing with you here will be relatively new to a
lot of people and that is to be expected because these are not common place
ideas.
I myself learnt these ideas from studying the works of people who have
mastered the art of generating cash on demand regardless of where the find
themselves.
It is just like the story of Bob Allen, author of Nothing Down and Multiple
Streams of Income.
When Bob wrote his book, Nothing Down and wanted to market it, he went
to TV and made a bold statement:
“Send me to any city in the US with just $100 in my pocket for expenses
and within 48 hours, I will buy an excellent piece of real estate without my
own money”
That is just like someone in Nigeria saying “Take me to any random city
within Nigeria and within 48 hours, I will buy an excellent piece of
real estate”
They took him up on his offer and sent him to a random US city with just
$100 and an agent monitoring his every move to ensure that no “mago
mago” was involved.
Barely, 24 hours later, he had actually bought a good piece of real estate
without his money.
That bold claim sold millions of copies of that book.
Bob Allen is one of the money-masters that I have learnt from over the
years.
Another time, he made a bold statement that he was going to make $24,000
online within 24 hours live on TV.
Page 48 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
They took him up on his offer and once again, he proved that he could do
what he claimed.
Some few years ago when I was just learning these money techniques,
these things were new to me but over the years, I have now met people who
have even achieved far more ground breaking, awe inspiring results than the
Bob Allen example I shared above.
For instance, several marketers have been known to pull in $1m in sales
online within 24 hours.
Crazy. Right?
Apart from the new generation money masters that I learn from, I also take
my time to learn from the fathers.
In fact, I focus 75% of my efforts learning from the fathers because they
understood the basics and they made things work even before the internet
and all the software we have today was made possible.
For instance, Ted Nicholas who I call the 6 billion dollar man is one of my
favourites.
Around 1978, Ted wrote a book, published it by himself and sold over 2
million copies of the book all by himself.
That wasn‟t the only book he wrote and sold millions of copies. He also
helped other people in launching their businesses and making millions from
it.
Another favourite of mine when it comes to mastering the ability to generate
cash on demand is the late Gary Halbert.
Almost all the money-masters today owe him a debt because of the wisdom
he shared via his newsletters, books and seminars as regards the rare act of
generating cash on demand.
Another great money-master “daddy” that I like a lot is Dan Kennedy. Dan
Kennedy used to work together with Gary Halbert back in the days.
Dan has created many multi-millionaires out of nothing based on his
teachings and mentorship.
Page 49 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
As at now, I only have about 6 of his books and about 4 of his high priced,
premium courses on marketing.
Other great fathers are people like – Gene Schwartz, Joe Karbo, Joe
Sugarman, David Oglivy and John Carlton.
As you can see, these names are not popular names that you see all over
the place because the cash generating strategies that they use and teach are
so effective in such a way that it is almost unbelievable to so many people.
But once you master these same strategies and you see things the way they
see them, you will become unusually confident about the fact that you can
generate a lot of money regardless of whatever condition you find yourself.
Since I do a lot of business via the internet, I have also learnt a lot of cash
generation strategies on how one can effectively make use of the internet to
bring in money.
Actually, the internet makes a lot of things far easier and faster so far you
don‟t get caught up in any of the millions of distractions online.
For instance, before the internet, you had to wait 3 – 7 days before a letter
you send is received by the person you sent it to.
All of that has now changed.
You can send an email to hundreds of thousands of people regardless of
where they are in the world and they will get the mail within 5 minutes.
This is one of the reasons why someone can created a business today and
begin to profit from it almost immediately.
I didn‟t just say that. I have done it myself over and over.

SECTION FIVE
The Basics of Generating Cash on Demand
What are the basics of generating cash on demand?
First, I need to let you know that this book was written with the average
individual in mind.
It wasn‟t written for big companies and overly wealthy people who have the
ability to pump hundreds of millions of naira into a new business project.
I also need you to understand that the strategies I will be sharing here work
both online and offline.
With that said, the very first thing you need to understand is that you must
be enthusiastic about the art of making money. Attitude is everything in all
areas of life, business included.
If you are not enthusiastic about the art of making money, you will soon get
tired, bored and worn out.
And actually, I don‟t know why any person won‟t be enthusiastic about these
money making ideas when you realize how much you can enjoy better with
more money in your pocket.
Page 51 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
- To somebody else
A lot of people have an idea of this just like I used to think I understood it
but the reality is that they don‟t really get it.
Think about it:
A barber sells his barbing skills
Page 52 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
When the average person starts to think about making money, they only
think of it in this format:
1. Find a Job or
Page 53 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Here is an example:
I am a fan of Infopreneuring.
Infopreneuring is entrepreneurship that has to do with creating, packaging
and selling valuable information.
In 2011, I was on facebook and I read a post that had a lot of comments.
The post was about how frustrated the poster was about making payments
for some products on the internet.
I make payments online all the time and I had adequate knowledge about
this. For instance, so many people use GTBank and they do not know they
can use the GTB card to make payments online.
So, what I did was to create a short report of about 29 pages that explained
several effective ways to make payments online right here in Nigeria.
I created a website for it and within 2 days, this new business was up and
running.

Would you like to get access to a secret that can help you to drastically
reduce the risk of failing with every business project you set up?
I am going to tell you.
But before I do that, let me quickly expose another flaw in the educational
system.
In school, we were taught that the number one reason why small businesses
fail is lack of capital.
I think that is just one of the millions of business theories put together by
people who don‟t really do business.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The number one reason why your money making venture is likely to fail is
selling what people do not want to buy.
How do you know what people want to buy?
It‟s easy. You see, the way to deduce what people want to buy is to simply
train your eyes to observe what they DO buy!
Note: There is a huge difference between what people actually buy and
what they say they buy.
For instance, a lot of people will tell you that the book they read the most is
the bible but nothing could be further from the truth.
People read fashion/gossip magazines than the Bible but they usually won‟t
tell you. It is your work as a LBCM to observe the truth.
Secondly, train yourself to detect the fears, frustrations and problems that
people need to get rid of and are eager to pay money to get the solution.
For instance, what fears, frustrations or problems do you think car owners
have and they are ready to pay for a solution?
Page 56 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
- The group is increasing – not only is the group massive, but the
probability of the group running out is very low. E.g. Can parents,
overweight women or civil servants become obsolete? I don‟t think so.
Of course, there are lots of businesses that target students and job
seekers but your risk of failing with them is high. So, why waste your
valuable time when there are other markets with high success rates all
over the place.
Page 57 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Find what people want first, identify the people who want it and measure the
level of their want. Then, go ahead and get it for them. It took me a long
time to learn this but I want you to get it into your head as soon as possible
so that you can achieve faster results.
The main lesson here is this: If you create a money making venture that
sells a product or service that people want to buy to the people who want to
buy them, your rate of success is pretty high.
The other thing that might affect your money making venture after this is
your ability to sell and to put together a sales system.
This skill is as rare as hen‟s teeth especially in a country like Nigeria where
we do not have sales training programmes around.
The only sales training programme you only see are the ones put together
by big corporations like banks, oil companies etc. which are not useful for an
average person or the small business owner.
The next section in this part will be about the art of selling.

Other People’s Products – Instead of creating your own product, you can
actually base your money making ventures in most cases on products
created by other people. You can do so by employing the following:
Retailing – Retailers are the ones who buy in small quantities so that they
can sell to the end consumers.
This is simple economics 101
If you are going to be selling products from other people that are not digital,
you are going to be either a wholesaler or retailer and you need to be able to
calculate your margins very well.
Reseller – A reseller is simply someone who has the resale rights to sell
someone‟s intellectual product. In the world of selling digital products online,
there are lots of products you can buy rights to and sell. When you acquire
the rights to sell someone else‟s‟ product, you are able to keep 100% of the
profits.
Affiliate – You must have heard about affiliate programs. You are an
affiliate when you sell for a particular company and you are paid a certain
percentage based on each sale you make. For instance, one of the
companies that I sell as an affiliate for is Getresponse.com which provides
email marketing features for marketers.
For each customer that I bring to Getresponse, they pay me a 30%
commission of the money that the customers pays per month.
Page 60 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Licensee – This is when you acquire the rights to use somebody‟s systems
to help them sell their products and they get a certain percentage. If you
have a products with a proven sales system, you can license it out to other
marketers who can use your system to sell for you so that you both make
money.
As you can see, getting a product to sell is never the problem once you
understand what people buy and why they buy. There are loads of products
out there that you can license or obtain the rights to sell.
As an infopreneur, I have created several information based products and I
have also given people the resale rights to them.
For instance, there was a time I gave one of my friends a 31-paged report
that I created. He went ahead to sell tons of it and profited over N2million
from selling it.
Let‟s now talk about selling.
Page 61 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
SECTION SIX
Master the Art of Effective Selling
You can‟t be a live breathing cash machine if you do not master the art of
knowing how to sell effectively.
With that said, there are 2 types of people who sell.
There are people who really know how to sell.
They understand the basics of selling and the techniques and strategies
involved in selling any product or service.
Then, there are people who think they are selling when in reality, all they
are doing is distribution.
For instance, retailers who sell soaps, electronics, kitchen, recharge cards
and office equipment etc think they are selling but in reality what they are
doing is helping the big companies to distribute the products that they
market.
In the real life movie, “the wolf of wall street,” Jordan Belfort who was acted
by Leonardo Decaprio took a pen and said to one of his friends who said he
could sell anything – “Sell me this pen”
He couldn‟t.
The inability to sell is another top reason why a lot of people struggle with
money issues all their lives especially because there are so many
opportunities out there but only a man who has mastered the art of selling
to a certain level can get people to part with their hard earned money in
exchange for the product or service that is been sold.
If I gave you 100 copies of this book and told you to sell it for me, can you
do that?
If you can‟t, you have to start working on your ability to sell.
Page 62 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
In order for you to make truly serious money, you have to use what Gary
Halbert calls RSS.
RSS is acronym for Remote Selling System.
Page 63 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
This means having the ability to get your sales and marketing message
across to huge numbers of people at the same time.
The ability to get your sales message across to huge numbers of people at
the same time is one of the advantages that the internet created.
For the first time in the history of mankind, you can now reach as many
people as you want all over the world with your sales and marketing
message.
That is why financial breakthroughs like raising $1m within 24 hours happen
all the time.
One of the new generation money-masters that I learn from, Frank Kern
once created a campaign that pulled in $1.4m within 24 hours.
One more thing…
The art of effective selling will be difficult to master if you do not understand
the foundation behind the sales process which is marketing.
What is Marketing?
Before I move on, let me talk about marketing because marketing is very
important to the sales process. In fact, marketing is what makes selling
simple.
How?
If you asked 100 people to tell you the meaning of marketing, you are
probably not going to get an answer that makes sense because most people
who think they know marketing actually have no idea of what marketing is.
In reality, marketing is anything you
do to get or keep a customer.
Most of the time, it is in form of your communication but that
communication has to be based on real research work of knowing your
Page 64 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
potential customers as much as you can so that you can communicate with
them properly.
Marketing is actually a combination of the following:
1. Research
2. Advertising
3. Sales
The research phases starts before you even create or decide on the product
to create.
Why?
The reason is because you need to have a good understanding of who you
plan to sell the product to.
The research phases also helps you to come up with the right message that
you will use to advertise the product and to sell it.
The advertising and selling aspect of marketing is the communication part
and unfortunately, these are the main aspects that most people focus on.
Because they ignore the research part, they eventually come up with a
wrong combination of words that do not communicate deeply with the
prospect.
Page 65 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
When you have done your proper research for a product you want to sell and
who you want to sell it to, you will be able to come up with the right words
you can use to communicate with them effectively.
For instance, if I want to sell t-shirts and jeans to young men between the
ages of 19 – 27, which of the sentences below do you think will bring in
more sales?
Sentence one – These t-shirts and jeans are top notch, buy them today
and look good.
Sentence two – Wear these clothes, Get these women.
Which one did you pick?
Sentence one is what most people will use based on the fact that they do not
know marketing and they don‟t do any type of research about the people
they want to sell to.
And sentence two will beat sentence one hands down because it speaks
directly to the inner desires of these age group that we are trying to sell to.
Page 66 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Page 67 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
As far as I am concerned, as at the time of writing this book, there are only
4 copywriters in Nigeria I can hire to create my sales message for me and
the 4 of them are already rich.
The reason is that there is almost no way you are not going to be a money-
maker when you master the art of crafting great sales messages that get
people to give you money…in exchange for value of course.
Just so that you can have a good idea of how powerful copywriting is, let‟s
say you bought resale rights to a piece of software that helps businesses
with their statistics.
Things like gross profits, net profits, tax to be paid, losses, salary, expenses
etc.
You have also written a very good 3 paged sales letter to sell the software to
small businesses all over the Nation.
But just to be sure, you also decided to pay an expert copywriter like me a
good amount of money to help you create another sales letter.
So, you send out the 2 sales letters differently to 500 targeted prospects and
you create a way to track the results from the 2 adverts.
That is, letter A goes to 250 prospects.
Letter B goes to 250 prospects.
After about 30 days, you sit down to compare the responses from the 2
letters.
Letter A, the fairly good one you have created brought in 15 sales...whereas
Letter B, the one that was created by an expert copywriter brought in 67
sales.
This sort of thing happens all the time.
Since you now have a winner in this case, you may now decide to roll out
and do more advertising so that you can bring in more sales. Let‟s talk a
little about advertising.
Page 68 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Page 69 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
One day, a friend of mine shared a quote with me that instantly changed my
whole mindset about advertising and I have taken advertising seriously ever
since then.
The quote by Steuart Henderson Britt says:
I hope you get the idea now, outrageous advertising only works when you
have a powerful sales message sent out to a targeted group of people who
are likely to respond to it.
Let‟s talk about the type of marketing you should pay more attention to as a
LBCM.
Page 70 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
That is brand marketing and like I said, it works for the big companies who
have the money to push it.
But what about direct marketing?
Direct marketing is the type of marketing that you should focus on as a
LBCM.
It is the type of marketing that will save your life.
Its‟ focus is on generating the type of response that you need and it is
measurable.
In direct marketing, you can easily know if a particular marketing campaign
is working or not based on the results you are getting from it.
For instance, let‟s say you spent N100,000 on a particular marketing
campaign and you only got back N56,000 in sales, that means the marketing
campaign did not work and you can work on it and move to another project.
Also, as you use direct marketing to promote your business, you can be
building your brand and perception in the minds of your customers based on
the quality of your products and the service you provide.
The sweet thing about direct marketing is that it can work for any type of
business and it helps you to get faster results from your business.
A lot of so-called marketing professionals will disagree with what I have said
about direct marketing because they do not understand it but on a one on
one, head to head competition, direct marketing techniques will always
outpull the brand marketing stuff.

SECTION SEVEN
Learn How to Use OPM, OPT, OPS and OPE
One of the best thing that ever happened to me was when I began to learn
that as a single person, you are limited in what you have the resources to
accomplish.
By resources, I am talking about things like time, skills, money and energy.
For instance, I have already told you about the importance of understanding
sales, copywriting, advertising, marketing, knowing what people want to buy
etc.
Despite all that, if you want to accomplish a lot, then you need to be able to
distribute your tasks to other people to get them done for you.
Also, in some cases you might need to use OPM when you have created a
profitable system and you intend to scale it up.
OPM means Other People‟s Money.
And when I say use OPM, I am not talking about going to the bank to get a
loan. That would be a serious mistake as a young entrepreneur because
number one, banks only give out loans to people who do not need it in the
first place.
When you have built a good business and you need hundreds of millions or
billions, you can approach the bank then, they will usually be willing to help
you out and you will have other experts like accountants to help you out by
then.
So, how do you use OPM if you should not get a loan from the bank?
I will tell you how.
Page 72 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
Lots of people have money in their bank accounts and they are doing
nothing with it mainly because they have no idea of what they can do with it
or because they are afraid of taking risks.
These people might be from your family, your friends, your co-workers etc.
What you want to do is to use their money to scale up a profitable money
making venture that is proven.
Read the last paragraph again especially the last 10 words.
Why the last 10 words?
The reason is because you are NOT permitted to use OPM unless you have
already created a venture that has proven itself to be profitable.
Let me give you an example:
In September 2012, I created a new business online that sold high quality
information in form of short reports.
I put in $200 into it for advertising just to test it out and before I knew it,
this business was giving me $400 for each $200 that I spent on advertising.
That is a net profit of $200.
Right?
But I went further. I worked on the system so that it was now giving me
$600 for every $200 that I spent on advertising.
That is a net profit of $400.
This is the type of statistics that you are looking for which proves that the
money making venture that you are working on is indeed profitable and no
guess work or assumption is involved.
It is at this stage that you can now go and get an OPM to scale up the
income you are getting from it. That is if you do not have enough capital
yourself to scale it up.
Like in the situation I described above, I didn‟t use any OPM, I just
reinvested my own money into the venture to make millions from it.
But then, there was a time back in 2009 that I actually used OPM.
Page 73 of 99
How to Turn Yourself Into a Live Breathing Cash Machine
I just created a system that was making good profits and I got an OPM of
N70,000 since I had no extra money of my own to pump into it. I even
promised to pay the person N140,000 back in 8 months because I knew how
much I was going to make from the venture.
I learnt this as well from Gary Halbert.
According to Gary, he would spend about $5,000 to setup a money making
venture and see if it would be highly profitable. If it was profitable, he would
get some bankers to fund him and he will use their money to scale up the
venture and both of them would make some serious money based on their
sharing agreement.
That is how I use OPM. The last time I used it was in 2011 but I will use it
again if the need arises.
Apart from OPM, other op‟s you should use are:
OPT – This means other people‟s time. Since time is limited, you should
make use of other people‟s time and pay them for it. This way you can
spend your time focused on high value activities that will make you a lot of
money.
For instance, let‟s say you are selling a DVD that teaches how to trade forex
using a particular strategy.
Let‟s say you are selling 20 copies daily and you are in charge of making the
deliveries yourself. A task like this is going to slow you down but what about
if you hire someone to make the deliveries for you? That way, you can spend
your time on increasing your number of sales and creating additional
products that will bring in more money.
Common sense. Right? But we both know it is not common.
Another one is OPE.
OPE could stand for other people‟s efforts or other people‟s energy.
Finally, you should always be employing OPS.
OPS means other people‟s skills and the skills we are talking about in this
regards are high value skills that will help in multiplying your productivity.

SECTION EIGHT
Network With Other Live Breathing Cash
Machines
One simple step that can instantly help you to start getting better results as
a LBCM is to find other LBCMs and network with them. Period!
It sounds simple but this is devastatingly powerful.
Back in 2011, I was living in Abuja which is a good place to live but I didn‟t
have the chance to network with other LBCMs who could help me to think
better. So, I left Abuja and came to Lagos.
Within a few months, I started to discuss with people like Akin Alabi and my
good friend, Ronald Nzimora and that changed everything.
The kind of big thinking that I got from Akin Alabi for instance gave me a
paradigm shift. Something I could never get from reading books.
It is TRUE.

When you consistently spend time with other LBCMs who are smarter and
better than you, what happens is that you get infected and once you get
infected, it becomes difficult for you to remain the same.
Apart from what happens to you mentally, you become open to various ideas
and opportunities when you network with people who are better than you in
various areas of life.
You also have the advantage of getting deep advice from them. Something
they wouldn‟t share with any kind of people.
In November 2013, I met some new friends from the USA during an internet
marketing event here in Lagos.
One of these new friends is a cool headed and wise man named Allyn Cutts.
While we talked, he shared a story with me that changed his life. The story
he shared with me was on how he joined a mastermind group of internet
marketing elites some years back.
This mastermind group was created by a top internet marketer whose name
is Yanik Silver and the fee to join the group was $20,000 per year.
That is around N3.3m a year.
He did all he could just to raise the money and he joined the group. Once he
was in the group, he was able to freely network and talk with big guys who
were doing business in millions of dollars and within some few months, he
made his $20,000 back.
But that wasn‟t the breakthrough.
The breakthrough is that his entire life changed and the last time I talked to
him before writing this book, he just returned from another mastermind
session.
He told me – “pay your way to the top”
Why?
The reason is because top, high quality LBCM don‟t sit around or throw their
contacts around. The reason is because they are aware of parasites out
there.

They are aware of people who are looking for ways to feed on them for their
own good.
For instance, when I go to a public even like a seminar, a lot of people
approach me to get my phone number and email address.
I give them the phone number and email address but when they ask for
something like my BBM pin, I tell them politely that I only give it to friends
and my family.
From experience, I know that most of these people are leeches.
In order to be able to network effectively with other high value LBCM, you
need to understand that LBCM usually value symbiotic relationships.
If you have something of value to offer, a LBCM will be willing to give you
their real contacts when you meet in public.
So, where do you meet LBCMs in order to network with them?
There are 2 major ways;
1. Meet them at events

If you want to effectively network with other people at an event, you must
understand how to offer value first.
Years ago, I used to walk up to high value people at events trying to
network with them and I will say something like “I would like you to be my
mentor”
But these people, as you will soon learn when you become a high value
person yourself understand that people who have no value to substitute are
usually time wasters and energy drainers.
Join Groups that High Quality People Belong to: If you really want to
get to know a lot of high quality people, the best way to do it is by joining
groups and memberships that they belong to.
These groups are usually high priced and this is why when you join such
groups, every other person in the group automatically see you as a high
value person even if you do not have anything to offer at first.
The fact that you pay a high amount of money to join such groups mean you
are a serious person and not a freebie seeker. It means you have a burning
desire to succeed and you are willing to pay the price to get to your goals.
So, how do you locate such masterminds? I really do not have a list as at
the time of writing this but I am working on compiling a list.
If you would like me to send you more information about masterminds you
can join, just send an email to support@7starcourses.com
The email should have your full name and phone number - and the subject
line should say - Interested in Masterminds
This one advice of networking with other minds that are smarter and better
than you will change your life drastically. DO IT!

So, do not take this book for granted. Read and reread it. Make references

Apart from the quotes in this book, every single word was written from my
personal experience and understanding about this subject.
