My few thoughts about money
Money is very vital tool for a good living in this
world. If you are not rich then off course you are poor. And you know what that
means - it means you don’t always have enough money to carry out activities
you would want to if the money was there.
it means you can not live in the house you would have lived in if the money was
there.
Please never down play the power of financial
prosperity; therefore take your finance seriously. I have compiled 3 things you
must employ to increase your net worth .
But I want us to talk about money. some people don’t
like talking about money. some say money is evil, may be that is why they are poor.
Your mindset
about money will go a long way to determine your control of it. Others say
money is the root of all evil- but that's not what the bible says, it says the
love of money is the root of all evil. Money In itself is not evil, it is how
you see money that matter. How do you see money? Do you see money as a tool for
doing good things ?
Well to me money it is not good, nor is bad. money is
neutral. It all depends on what you think about money. The problem is that some
people allow money to control them, they become obsessed with money. It should
not be so.
There are three things you must consider in order to
increase your net worth. These are vital
truth that can change any ones life if employed with care.
1.
Adopt
the mentality of a producer: you will believe me when I say
that all rich people in the world are producers. Check them properly and you
will see their products.
Consumer only consume, while
producers produce. It doesn’t take much to become a producer, it only requires
a change of thinking. And thats what you must change.
Consider
the following example.
-
Consumer eat popcorn, producers make pop
corn
-
Consumers watches movies, producers make
movies
-
Consumer search for job, producers
create jobs
Every millionaire is a
producer and only producers get rich.
What can you produce?
There is always something you have to give. Maybe you have not discovered it.
What do you offer? What
are your products? I have made up my mind that I will always sell. One rule of
financial abundance is the rule of selling. There Has to be a “selling“
something must be sold. People only pay for value. They don’t just give you
their money. They pay you for a service. They pay you for your time.
Look at the following
definition of money
Money is measure of the
value that people place on goods and services.
Money is the medium
through which people exchange their labor in the production of goods and
services for the good and service of others.
Therefore money is not
just something you receive for nothing. The amount of money you earn is the
measure of the value that others place on your contribution.
Watch the rich closely,
you discover that they are producing something, whether they are producing
excellent website or building hotels or writing best selling books.
If you would adopt the
mindset of a producer, you will of necessity become wealthy.
2. Change
your location: - Some one said the only 3 things that
can change a man is his location(where he lives), his friends and the books he
has read. Your location will always find a way of expressing itself in your
life. If you live in a poor Neighborhood for a long time, you will definitely
talk poor.
In a hotel room (I used as an
office, I do most of any writing there) up 2 story building situated in a very
poor area that was given to me. I discovered that whenever I look through the
window, the picture that I see is a very contradicting one compare to the
picture I have in the inside of me and because my table is position such that
whenever I looked up, am already looking out, I had to bring the cottons
down even though I love taking the
cotton off.
The picture you see will always
affect your thinking. My advice is for you to locate yourself in a serene
environment. I don’t mean you should spend all your savings on housing. You can look for a calm
place. For me I love the sight of flowers, green trees etc.
If
you stay in a very dirty environment where people come to smoke anyhow,
where there are a lot of violence and
drug abuse, even though you don’t
partake yourself, it will always influence your way of thinking and even your
talking.
3.
Read
the right books- read, read and read. reading is not always pleasurable. The more you read and
get used to reading, the more pleasurable it becomes. this is the third factor,
become a lifelong learner. Get to know more about what you do.
If you would employ the above
mentioned point, I can guarantee your success in no time.
