Making money or ...loosing money?


What it takes to make money is the same as what it takes in living our normal life-Offering services or products. What is missing is the Conversion and the Focus.

By Conversion I mean, do you recognise that those activities you do can earn you money simply by recognising their values, attaching relevant monetary figures to it and demanding such in return for them. By Focus, I mean, what is the direction of your mindset in terms of the values you dispense. If you give out most of your services or products for free without specific and concrete plan to regain it back, you will surely end up poor.

Unfortunately, we live in a culture where  people expect you to give everything out for free to every other person. They may forgive you if you are charging others for services rendered but you are in trouble if they are the victim. Its even worst if you are a graduate where they believe you have a better life than themselves even when you don't have a job yet.

The non graduate technicians and traders  has managed to force it down the oesophagus of society that they live by the work of their hands. The graduate employee is seen as receiving without sweat not caring how much he earns. The lack of entrepreneurial  spirit in our generation has been the conspiracy of a deceptive society and an undoctored educational system.

People are expected to give out or more exactly spend their life's earnings or acquisition for nothing. They will praise you for being kind, gentle , humble, generous etc but will that put food on your table? The same people will never give you free when the ball is in their court. They will rather turn Tiger, show you their murderous instincts and scare you away. They will go ahead of you to spoil your reputation, reason: to block your chance of revealing their wickedness towards you.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you should be stingy with arms giving, or offering assistance and succour to humanity, but a lot of us over do it. We give out everything free of charge especially to our friends, family and others not realising that the same thing we are giving away are the same things that we could exchange for our own comfort in life. Not realising also that these crop of people: our family, friends and acquaintances are the very ones who should  form the foundation and nucleus of our business empire.

Everything in life goes around and comes around. There is a web of exchange that characterise the law of nature. You must give to get and you must get to give. The reverse is not sustainable. Money is not created, it merely changes from hand to hand. In life, somebody must spend for another to reap.  You can not control or guarantee the continuity of free gifts.

Everyone who can not exchange their valuables for yours ( if they have it) hate you. They do not wish you well and they do not want you to succeed. I don't care who they are, family, friends or whoever,  do away with them. They neither truly value you nor your time, status and stature, your person . Everything you are and have. These people should be kept far far away from you, you can love them, forgive them, wish them well, pray for them but move on without them. Chart new relationships with only people who would prove to be loyal and respectful to your worth.

People who would be willing to exchange your valuables with theirs are your real brothers and sisters. They are the ones who care about your happiness. They will help you succeed, transform your life and live on your own terms. Do you know that what ever you get in life was a part of your life spent, use it to buy a better future for yourself.

As you step out of your house today, do it with the full realisation that you are not here just to please people. Value your worth and use it to exchange for a better worth. Make money and stop loosing money ...Crack the code.

Money is in the Street: How to Find Opportunities in Everyday Life.

Image
  1 Min.read Entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business; it is a mindset that sees opportunities in everyday life. One of the most important lessons any entrepreneur can learn is that money is in the street. What does this mean? It means that the opportunities for wealth creation are all around us, and we just need to be open to seeing them. The street is where people are, and where value is exchanged. You don't need to look far to find opportunities to create value and make money. The first step is to change your mindset and start looking for opportunities. The key is to be open-minded and creative. One of the best ways to find opportunities is to observe people and their behavior. What problems are people facing? What are their needs and desires? How can you help them solve their problems or fulfill their desires? This is the foundation of any successful business - identifying a need and providing a solution. F or example, let's say you notice that there is a long

Learn from China President's Experience an be Wise...

Image
President Xi Jingping of China said: When I was a small child , I was very selfish, always grab the best for myself. Slowly, everyone left me and I had no friends. I didn’t think it was my fault but criticize others. My father gave me 3 sentences to help me in life. One day, my father cooked 2 bowls of noodles put the 2 bowls on the table. One bowl has one egg on top and the other bowl does not have any egg on top. He said ”My child. You choose. Which bowl do u want”. Eggs were hard to come by those days! Only get to eat eggs during festivals or New Year. Of Cos I chose the bowl with egg! As we started eating. I was congratulating myself on my wise choice/decision and wallop up the egg. Then to my surprise as my father ate his noodles, there were TWO eggs at the bottom of his bowl beneath the noodes! I regretted so much! And scolded myself for being too hasty in my decision. My father smiled and sad to me, ”My child. You must remember what your eyes see may not be true. If u in

Acquire that skill

Image
There are millions of skills available for acquisition by the discerning mind. One thing is that you don't know the day it will come handy. Most people sit aloof concentrating only on their jobs not knowing that they should aspire to possess alternative means of income or additional source of livelihood. They are caught unawares when suddenly the broom of life sweeps across and they have nothing more to hold onto. There is no known wealthy man who is focusing on only one source of income. Diversification is key As to whether or not you need additional skill, who knows even in your private life, you may need to do somethings yourself to save cost and when opportunity knocks, can be translated to financial benefits. Some people sit waiting for the right time. There is no such thing as “the right time“ every time is the right time depending on when you are ready. So don't ask “ should I or should I not learn the trade? learn the business, learn the instrument, learn th

Conquer yourself

Image
It is not the Mountain that we conquer but ourselves. To be a able to achieve any success in life, we must first of all  conquer our self.  The external mountain that we see are only a reflection of the real mountain within. In our attempt to conquer them, we learn the art and therefore go on to conquer our real enemy - ourselves. We need to conquer our fears, our laziness, Our beliefs, Our laziness, Our learned helplessness, The scarcity mind set we adopt. We need to tame our body and programme it to synchronise with the efficiency and effectiveness of our spirit. A great man once said “we are created to live, not to prepare to live“.  But our bodies must learn to live and they must learn of our spirits by adopting and adjusting to it in all ramification. Until this happens the individual will not experience true happiness. What we tell our body is the thing that shuts it down.  Many people are very happy to say “this is too hard“ or “I give up“ they deny that they did not follo

24 hours is Enough

Image
Before the creator approved 24 hours to make a full day, he already knew it is enough. You need to work, you need to play and you also need to rest. He knows the capacity of the human body and knows how long it needs to re-corporate.   How long it will take it to break down.  All these he factored into a full day it wasn't just an accident or a declaration “let there be light and let the light be separated from darkness that brought about a full day, it was intelligence beyond judgement. What ever you need to do and with a good planning, decipline and priorities  can be accomplished within a day. What ever is not accommodated in a day can be done on the following.  Any thing that can not be accomplished in a day is bigger than a day and baring any form of laziness should be treated as such. The richest man on earth has only 24hours, the president of countries has only 24hours, great men and women of yesteryears who achieved record success had all 24hours in a day. So there i
