Let’s be real: the biggest myth out there is that you need money to make money. That’s the lie that keeps people stuck in their financial situations, believing they need a big bank account before they can even start thinking about wealth. I’m here to tell you it’s time to break free from that mindset. You can absolutely build wealth with no money—and I’m going to show you how.

The Power of Skills Over Cash

Wealth isn’t just about money. It’s about value—and value can be created in so many ways that don’t require a penny in your pocket. The truth is, your skills, time, and network are some of the most powerful assets you can leverage, and they don’t cost you anything. Here’s how you can use those to start building your wealth today:

1. Leverage Skills You Already Have: Look at the skills you’ve gained through education, work, or life experience. Do you have expertise in something people need? Graphic design? Social media marketing? Writing? Even skills like cooking, tutoring, or organization can be turned into side hustles. There are free platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and social media that allow you to monetize these skills without any upfront investment.
2. Use Free Online Resources to Learn New Skills: Don’t have any marketable skills? That’s okay. The internet is full of free resources to teach you everything from coding to digital marketing to photography. You don’t need to pay for expensive courses when platforms like Coursera, YouTube, and Khan Academy exist. Level up for free, and in no time, you’ll be offering valuable services people are willing to pay for.
3. Network, Network, Network: Your network is your net worth. Surrounding yourself with the right people can lead to wealth-building opportunities that cost you nothing. Join online communities, go to free networking events, and connect with others on LinkedIn. You never know where an opportunity might come from—a simple conversation could lead to a job, collaboration, or investment in your future.
4. Find a Mentor: Mentorship is invaluable. Having someone who has already walked the path to wealth guide you can save you from costly mistakes and fast-track your success. The best part? Many successful people are willing to mentor those who are serious about learning and growing—no money required.
5. Start Building Passive Income Streams: You don’t need money to start earning money passively. For example, you can create a blog or YouTube channel, offering valuable content that attracts viewers. Over time, this could earn you money through ads, affiliate marketing, or even sponsored content. It might take some work upfront, but you don’t need cash to get started—just consistency and dedication.

Mindset Over Money

The key to building wealth with no money is shifting your mindset. You don’t need to wait until you’re “rich” to start acting like it. In fact, acting wealthy—investing in yourself, learning constantly, and leveraging what you have—will set you on the path to financial freedom. It’s not about how much money you have right now; it’s about how you use the resources available to you.

The good news? My upcoming book, Rich, Young & African, is all about these strategies, and I’ve made it simple and practical for anyone to follow—no matter where you’re starting from.
