PROFESSIONAL OR TECHNICAL SKILL
Successful life does not run on being a jack of all trade. You can know many things but master one. You are born unique and you are to be known for something unique. For instance, if you mention Bill Gates what comes to your mind is Microsoft. When you mention Kani Nwakwo you think of professional football. You must become an expert in atleast one area.
To be working around and not be specifically skilled will make life burdensome. If you want to be a mechanic, be a good one and be expert at it. Give it your best shot. Acquire all that you need to become the best in that field or trade you've chosen for yourself.

ACQUIRE MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Management skills talks about your ability to use human, material and financial resources to produce the best results. Technical skill with some professions may have to do with physical work, as you have to use your mind. The manager is concerned with how to curb waste, how to get better results and how to get the same product or service out in shorter time. How do we save the company's money? You have to move to that level.
Until you begin to give ideas to your supervisor or to your boss that will help save time, or money you are not ready for promotion.
Until you are ready to think the way people at the top think you are not ready for the top! Don't only think about how your pocket will get fat rather think of how to maximize the company's profits and curb waste.
Don't be a problem, be a solution to your organization. Develop your management skills, you've got to learn from your boss. Learn why he makes certain decisions even when such decisions are costly. Rather than complaining about your manager or blame him for why things go wrong, try to understand why he makes the decisions that makes. Move from the mindset of an employee to that of a manager.
ACQUIRE LEADERSHIP SKILLS
This has to do with developing capacity to see the big picture and to give direction. That is the major function of leadership. And if you must rise to the top in any given field you must develop the capacity to give direction and capacity to mobilize people to see the big picture.
You must add leadership skills to managerial skills.
The manager knows how to save time and money, but do you know how know that sometimes in a bid to save money and time, the manager may be losing direction in which the company or organization should go?

This is where leadership comes in. It helps you to see the picture at the same time.
Some people are only myopic in their thinking, they are only concerned with maintaining the status quo You must move to a point where you see ahead.

Until you develop the capacity to see ahead and be able to mobilize others to see ahead you are not ready to move to the next level.
To acquire leadership skills, learn under great leaders. Attend seminars on leadership. Read books on leadership.
ACQUIRE FINANCIAL SKILLS
You must understand that earning money and managing it requires skills and competence. You must know the difference between seed money and food money.
Your professional skill will bring money your way but you must realize such money is seed money. Your ability to multiply it will determine your financial freedom.

There are so many people who have made big money but because they lack the financial skills requisite to growing their money, they soon become beggars.
So you hear people say, "he used to be rich"

Types of income
>>Linear income: this is the income that you get once for the work done. Example monthly salary.
>> Residual income: residual income is when you work once and the job you do once keeps bringing money without necessarily having to do any more work on it. Example, if you record and produce a cassette, you do the Job once in the studio, but anytime someone buys your cassette you get a royalty.
The landlord builds his house only once and but keeps receiving rent on the house forever without having to pay for build the house yearly.

Learn the principles of investment, invest in stocks, real estate, treasury bills etc. Get financial education, read books on finance, attend seminars, learn about entrepreneurship, increase your financial vocabulary.
You can't become financially wealthy overnight, it's a process, develop the skills and stop blaming others for your financial predicament.
Hope this helps?
