1. The Need for Growth: There is no vacuum in life. If you are not growing, definitely, you are diminishing. It is your desire for growth that encourages you to become resourceful.
2. Pay the Price: You cannot climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets. Becoming highly resourceful comes with a price and you must be willing and ready to pay the price. When you pay the price, you get the rewards.
3. Demand and Supply: One of the benefits of becoming resourceful is the law of demand that comes into play thereafter. When you are loaded, you will surely be needed. There will be demands for your abilities and you must be ready to supply.

6. Personal Effectiveness: The more resourceful you are, the more effective you become in whatever you do. Personal effectiveness helps you to save time, reduce cost, and minimize errors as a result of mastery and experience curve.
7. Competitive Advantage: Building capabilities enhances competitive advantage. Those who are highly resourceful and productive in their chosen careers always enjoy competitive advantage over those who are neither resourceful nor productive.
8. Strategic Alliances: It is not enough to be resourceful and productive without right connections. You must be intentional in building strategic alliances to showcase your skills and special abilities. You become more influential when you are connected with right individuals/organizations.
9. Ego is Your Energy: There is a thin line between Self-confidence and pride. Highly resourceful and productive people are easily misunderstood by others, especially when they try to showcase their skills and abilities.
10. Here Comes the Rewards: There are rewards for being resourceful and one of such rewards is financial breakthrough. When you are good at what you do, it opens doors of multiple opportunities and advantages for you, including financial compensation.
