Have you ever seen your self as one who can ever attain wealth?
What amount of financial power do you think you deserve?
How do you plan on making money?
Am not asking you those questions, am asking myself. I want to be financially successful. One of my major goals this year is to have two kids on my scholarship. But I know one thing, you can only help the needy when you are not counted among them. A prisoner can not bale out another prisoner. Am not saying am poor but I haven't gotten to that level economically that I want to be. But I can get there and so can you. In studying I discovered five basic ways people make money and I will tell you at the end the one I chose for myself
Lottery
Many get rich by winning the lottery. This kind of wealth comes in an instant and usually effortless. Most young men spend their time and money trying to get luck and some do (1 in a million). The only issue I have with this method is most lucky guys go back to their original state before they won the money because their pockets grew but not their minds. Am I against this method? No! Do I encourage it? No! You can not bank on becoming rich by this method.
Inheritance
Another way of making money is by inheritance. This is a cool old fashion method of becoming rich. But you have to wait till someone dies or you actually take the initiative and press their head with a pillow. This method also has it's issues. Most wealth inherited dissipate with 2 to 3 generations. You go ask the descendants of King Solomon. I don't want to wait for someones demise to get my hands on Moola, don't know about you.
Earning It
This is one way of earning money but most people believe its the only way. In order to earn money you have to believe you can and also provide value for which you can exchange. You earn money (get paid) for bringing value to the market place. At this stage of making money, you work for money by exchanging your time for it. Its a good deal but not the best.
Investing Money
At this point money begins to work for you. You also get paid for value but here your value that you provide does not include your time. You make money where ever you are. That's independence.
Finding It
Seriously, finding it? Ya finding it. When you place a financial goal in your mind long enough your mind begins to look for and find out opportunities to achieve the financial target. You don't find the money on the floor but you see opportunity and find solutions to problems that you couldn't see before. Facebook is a solution to connection problem with long lost friends no wonder Mark can go to bed and wake up richer than he was the day before. Find and solve a human problem and money will find you.
I believe a combination of the last three ways of making money will turn around your financial fortune. I love this post. Do you?
