If you are asked, what is your most valuable asset, what will be your response?
Remember it is an asset not assets so think deeply about one asset through which you can acquire every other assets that you have.
Better still, you can think about when you did not have anything and think of that asset through which you acquire what you have today.
Using hive as an example, think of when you started with zero hive power if you signed up on hive but if your account was transfered from steemit, think of when you started on steemit. When all you have was few steempower which is the 15 steempower that was delegated then. Think of how you got to where you are today?
If you think very well, you will realized that your most valuable asset when you have nothing was your earning ability. It was your ability to believe in yourself that you can earn and thereby putting your energy into your belief to earn.
You will realized that the more your earning ability increases, the easier it becomes for you to acquire other assets which you might found useful and necessary. It doesn't start from your earning ability though but your most valuable asset is your earning ability.
The ultimate combination
Just as I have said, your earning ability must be backed with something before you can make your wish, a reality.
The ultimate combination is desire.
Napoleon Hill describe it as burning desire, an unquenchable urge to do something.
If you did not have the burning desire to earn your earning ability is as good as nothing.
- Have you seen a rich man without a desire to become rich?
- Have you seen a writer without a desire to become a writer?
Burning desire is a force through which you can achieve anything in this world whether through easy road or by plying the most dreadful road, if you take burning desire as your compass, you are half way to accomplishing your goal.
Self made millionaires
Self made millionaires have one thing in common.
If you take everything away from them, their house, their investments, their business, their career, everything. It is just a matter of time, they I'll acquire everything all over again because you only took away the result, you did not tamper with the source which is their earning ability combined with a burning desire to always remain wealthy.
If you must take care of your financial status, take care of your earning ability.
- How much can you earn in an hour?
- How much can you earn in a day?
- How much can you earn in a month?
- How much can you earn in a year?
Nevertheless, it should be noted that your earning ability is just a function of financial independence but not directly proportionate.
Even aside the desire to earn, you must back your desire with relevant skill and continuous learning.

Funny thing is everyone own an asset no matter how small you are.
As for me, my most valuable asset is my brain. And the more I feed it with knowledge and positive stuffs the more the value increases.
Yeah, agreed.
The brain is a valuable asset and someone once said,
Funny but true.
With our brain and the right information with a burning desire, we can achieve anything.
That's just the point 👍
A right information. Plus the required action executed.
Makes sense. Desire matters a lot. It’s like adding fuel to fire. That’s why it’s good to have goals, the desire to accomplish our goal help us attain those goals.
