In Search for the Glamour?

By: Manycoloured Manley Nowaseb

Success, wealth and glamour is the dream of almost everyone, we can’t help to think of it and we often chase after it -and sometimes we don’t even calculate the cost of it. Everyone craves for what someone else has and apparently that crave just don’t get enough.

Few people actually get to live the fame and fortune, many live it through their fantasies and many others have died pursuing it. While it is true that most successful people seek similar class connections - there is almost every per cent chance to hook up with the wealthy and pin them around you.   

As I have wrote in the article; “Believe: The Best of Both Worlds”, people are equal to have or not to have wealth? I would reason that there are six types of people concerning success and wealth. One of them inherited the wealth, the second worked hard for it, the third took a short cut (and is on heat all the time), the fourth -who pursue wealth and make it eventually, fifth and six once are irrelevant to my writing, they are the one who dies trying and the one who don’t try at all. My attention is on the fourth one.  

While everyone can enter the world of riches and fame -and I mean associate with billionaires, there is evidence that the elite in most worlds, control who gets part in extreme wealth, so in order to get in there you have to get in from a tight angle or must have a map to work your way up there.

You must be thinking that you have to start by owning a business or two and have hundreds of thousands to make it to the top, well it is easier than that. You just need to know the popular old suggestion that if you want to become successful in life you simply got to start with the resources you have at hand. Well, that resources are yourself, the only thing you need, to make things happen in your life.

In order to associate with the wealthy, sometimes you will have to improvise to be like them, speak like them and behave like them and you don’t know, you might just get that breakthrough phone call to inform you, you are part of a billion dollar deal. Sounds impossible? Please read on, it may start to make sense along the way.

(1)   Right Appearance

The reason why wealthy people are called wealthy people is because of the image (of wealth) they create for themselves. As diverse as they are among themselves, some see cars as the way to present their image, while others believe in putting on expensive brands of cloths yet some believe in fine jewelry and so on.

Although they have this fancy toys to show wealth, they have to have people around them to show off, so almost all of them through large parties of which they rarely consider the extended guest list, only focusing on the elite guest.

If you want to chill with this ‘big sharks’, parties are often the best platform to start connecting shoulders with them, therefore remember that your appearance is crucial and you must be comfortable in it.  Well, don’t fake it, what I mean is don’t take a Versace brand from an old jacket and sew it to your jeans, they will notice, the point is simple, don’t look to inexpensive. If you got a ride, just make sure it has some fine rims, good interior plus sound, don’t go snatch someone else Ferrari to come show off. Next up, be smart.   

(2)   Smart Words

Someone once said; the best way to know a person is by knowing their friends, as their friends are -so they are, I like that, but well my philosophy is; you know a person through their conversation.

Say you got a chance to chat with one of the ‘big sharks’ and you probably got five minutes... Can you turn those minutes into a million dollars – and I don’t mean to con, I mean to be persuasive enough that this billionaire would call you for another occasion, to have a relationship that would grow bigger and better.

Make sure that you learn the topics which your ‘big sharks’ likes to talk about and make sure you know at least several things that interest them, importantly their line of business.

Successful people just like thugs, police or politicians often use certain code names and terms to refer to things, if you want to be comfortable among them, learning their lingo can be a bonus for you, improvise where you don’t know and act smart all the time. Remember this people consider them as smart so you don’t want to seem the contrary to them.  

 

(3)   Successful Attitude

If they host you on another occasion, don’t be stiff around them, start to take charge, obviously with caution of knowing what your plan is. If you are out having fun and you don’t drink and they have and if you can drive, it’s bright to say “I’ll drive” that would also show them that you are responsible and that they can rely on you.

Successful people don’t show fear, overrated caution and tightness, they are more relaxed in control and free spirited and that is the basis of success. Some people have to read post like this to be motivated, others have it naturally, because it is part of them, but my point is success and wealth is already in you, you just have to behave yourself accordingly.

Once you got that access to your ‘big sharks’, don’t act as if you are waiting that they will give you a romantic approval that you are pals and also don’t get too carried away as well. Know when to be around and when to say you got something to take care of, even though you don’t actually.

(4)   Have a Plan

Know what they want. If you know what they want you will be able to know what could be in it for you. Like I have said above if you know their business line and what they are pursuing, as they forever want to have more, make sure you run around talking to other major people in line with their interest.

You could play the agent of your ‘big shark’ if they got good reputation and when you get the green light you can cut them in on the deal, either sell it all or ask for shares etc…

Having a plan is the most important thing, I have seen some people getting close to some millionaires and billionaires and they just drink and party all the way and eventually are left with nothing.  The reason why that happens is that in many cases you hassle yourself to connect with this billionaire and in the heat of things they entertain you so much that eventually you are being driven by them -but that should not be the case, if you don’t drive then get out or you could burn in there.

(5)   Drive, don’t be driven

After you have showed this ‘big shark’ that you are presentable, smooth with words and got the niche of success the ‘big shark’ will also have a plan with you, maybe to be a messenger, an adviser or anything below your goal.  I mean if you fall into a position that qualifies you to be an employee of them, you obviously know the result of such a relationship right?

Therefore be in control, make sure your position is stable throughout your relationship. Like I said above be in a position that you must be able to say no, if you have to, don’t just get locked in.

Finally & Importantly

Be true to yourself. Once you have hooked your ‘big sharks’ and are leading by pining them to you, do not lose track of where you came from. Many people got to the top and lost their lives or purpose through overdosing, playing messengers and guard and became personal servants to this ‘big sharks’.  

I recon wealthy people are equal to the ordinary or ordinary people are equal to wealthy people, all aren’t super humans so once you get in their world without infidelity to your dream and plan, they will seize the chance and as ruthless as most of them are you must be on the watch not to get burned in the mist of the glamour!
