CONVERTING FINANCIAL FAILURES OR MISTAKES TO FINANCIAL SUCCESS

FAILING, no body likes failing anything, many even hate the word “fail”. This, in my opinion, is because of the pain attached to failing. It’s a fact, that all living things- humans and animals- move away from pain to pleasure (may be only the masochist). This may not sound so sweet for even me to say, but, for big success you must have some failures.

 Humans are imperfect, and despite our quest for excellence our imperfect nature makes us make mistakes (maybe that’s why every pencil is made with an eraser, so that we can erase our mistakes). The truth is that mistakes and failures are part of life.

But, sad to say that many see making mistakes or failing as bad, in our schools the child is severely punished for making a mistake or his parents severely punish him for failing his exams, and he grows up with the fear of making mistakes or failing.

Failures and mistakes has being the building block of every civilization and invention. Take Thomas Edison a very ingenious famous inventor, you may have read about him, Edison is the inventor of the incandescent lamp, which serves as a model for many light bulbs we see today. Edison failed or made mistakes hundreds of times while trying to invent the incandescent lamp. But, each mistake ended up making him a legend. He converted his failures or mistakes to success by learning from them. Or take Christopher Columbus and ingenious Italian- born Spanish navigator, he experienced failures while trying to find a route to the indices. He converted his failure to success by discovering America. Both Edison and Columbus understood that failure played a role in being successful.  

In the book rich dad poor dad by Robert kiyosaki a New York Times best selling author, he said that “his rich dad constantly used the example of learning to ride a bicycle to teach him the lesson in mistakes”. You will, agree with me that you can’t teach a person how to ride a bicycle but, the person can learn, so it is with financial success, you can’t teach a person how to be successful but, the person can learn how to be successful.

Learning how to ride a bicycle requires injuries, pain, mistakes or failures, when you do learn it you start riding like a pro and you can even go pro. Same goes for being financially successful it requires, pain, mistakes and failures, but, when you become financially successful you will not trade the mistakes and failures for anything. Simply put, you can’t have big success without failures and mistakes.

The biggest failure is a person, who has never failed and a person who never learns from his mistakes and failures. Imagine an individual on a farm land seriously angry with the ground, stumping and punching the ground; you walk up to him to ask what the problem is? He says “just look at this ground, two years ago I planted corn expecting beans, it gave me corn, last year the same thing, this year the same thing. I believe you will agree with me that, the individual is insane. This is how many people try to solve their financial problems. Albert Einstein said “ insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result”  with that definition a person does not have to be in an asylum with a straight jacket before he or she can be considered insane).

Please let no body make you believe that, because you failed in a particular activity, you are a failure. If you make mistakes while you try to improve your skills, you are on your way to being excellent and successful. I will repeat it again; mistakes and failures make you successful. But if you keep on making the same mistake over and over and over again and never learning from them, then I would have to admit that you are a failure.

In this game of trying to earn a living, in trying to make money you need to accept your imperfections, your tendency to make a mistake. This is a realistic way to of understanding how to cope with your failures or mistakes and to convert them to success.

I wish you the best. Thanks for reading this article.

CONTROLLING YOURSELF (SELF-DISCIPLINE) THE FIRST STEP TO RICHES

 

Aristotle a Greek philosopher said “I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is the victory over self. Many people will never be financially rich because they are conquered by themselves, their desires emotions and passions. They are not able to control themselves which, is the first step to riches. We see big salary earners deep in bad debt; we see many even among the rich and famous losing their wealth to an addiction, ruining their health, and loosing effectiveness and skill.

A car without a steering wheel is a death trap; a boat without a compass is practically lost at sea. Controlling yourself puts you at the steering wheel of your life; it gives you a compass to navigate your riches successfully. A person without control of himself or herself will not be able to make and successfully multiply his or her money. No man or woman is free, who are not masters over themselves. If you want riches, and an ever flowing torrent of wealth, you will have to master yourself, your desires, your emotions, your mind and your body.

Sad to observe, many lottery winners end losing all their money and ending up poorer than, when they won the lottery. A major reason for this is that, they never understand the first step to riches-self-discipline; they never learn how to control themselves when they spend the little money they had before. As dangerous as a car is, without a steering wheel, even more dangerous is a car with a driver who dose not know how to drive, adding more fuel to the car will only increase the speed of death to the driver. The same is true for people like, lottery winners who suddenly win big money, who don’t know how to control their spending, their emotions, their impulses, their mind and body.

I would have to admit that, developing self-control is not an easy task; in fact it’s a life long quest. Self-control is war fought against self, in the silent confines of you. But, the fact remains that if you are able to gain and maintain self-control, riches will flow to you. For riches flow to those who win the war against themselves and flows from those who loss and continue to loss the war against self.

There is no gain in making a lot of money only, to loss it to an addictive substance or to an uncontrolled spending spree or to dubious people patiently waiting to sue you for one uncontrolled action on your part.

A TRIBUTE TO MY READERS

Have you ever watched a game without spectators? You will agree with me that, it will be as lively as a grave yard. Ever seen a product that no body bought? It will be a DOA dead on arrival. Products are nothing without its consumers, a country is nothing without its citizens. This blog is nothing without you my readers, I want to take this opportunity to thank you my readers for taking time to read the articles in this blog. Plus, I will like to read your views on the information in the articles, your questions and your criticisms too will be highly appreciated.

HOW TO BE CREATIVE

As you are aware the major function of the human brain is to THINK, to be creative involves not just thinking but creative thinking. To properly understand how to think creatively, understanding how the brain functions, will help you become a creative thinker and will ultimately increase the amount of money you make.

THE BRAIN

The average human’s brain is a 1.3 mass of pinkish gray jelly like tissue that’s made up of 100 billion nerve cells. Scientist say no matter how intelligent a person is, he or she will never gets to use all his nerve cells. When a baby is born its brain is not divided, but as the baby reaches five years or less the brain divides into two (may be this explains why little children are so creative). The brain is divides into two hemispheres- a right and left hemisphere. These hemispheres are partially separated by a deep fold called the longitudinal fissure.

The left and right hemisphere of the brain are responsible for certain distinct intellectual functions. The right brain controls the emotions, musical awareness, artistic intellect, a humans spatial concept and the left hand. Many musicians and artist have highly developed right brains. The left brain controls logic (both deductive and inductive reasoning) spoken and written language, scientific skills and the right hand.

Combining the left and right brain while thinking makes, a person to be a creative thinker, this ability to combine the left and right hemispheres of the brain results in a new thought pattern which creates expressions unlike any other,  that could make a person RICH.

HOW TO COMBINE THE LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN WHILE THINKING

As stated above, the left brain controls logical reasoning and the right brain controls emotions. Combining the two will produce an emotional logical thought. A logical thought combined with any positive emotions such as love, will produce a result that will amaze you.

People say that if do something because of duty you do it well, but, when you do something for someone you love or because you love what you do, you do it beautifully. A positive emotion mixed with logical thinking is what makes a person creative.

Ever thought about the uniqueness of many inventions like cars, jets, phones and many modern gadgets. They simply come from emotional logic.

Please note that becoming a creative thinker is not an over night development, it takes time to develop. To gain and maintain a creative mind follows a step by step natural process, so that it becomes a part of you not just a one time thing.  I another article I will discuss this step by step natural process for developing a creative mind.

Thank you very much for reading this article. 

A TRESURE ISLAND: BOOK WRITING

YOU’RE JUST A BOOK AWAY TO A MILLION DOLLARS

Which is the best book or novel you ever read? Ever being to a book shop filled with interesting books? Have you ever wondered how books are written? Sure you have. Information is the only things to find around you except, if you are one month old. Books are very important, without books there will be no new information, no new skills and basically a state of stagnancy.

Book subjects cut across every subject; from house keeping to nuclear physics to humor, books could be 50 pages to even 10,000 pages. Do you have to be a genius to write a book? No. but it helps. You don’t have to be an authority on the subject you write about. In fact, many books in the information market are not even written by the authors, people donated the information to the authors and the authors made their millions from free information, that’s sweet.

Book writing is so profitable that it can make you a millionaire over night, that’s a fact, because with the invention of the internet, many internet millionaires are being born. In his book “being digital” Nicholas Negroponte said “the world is rapidly changing from moving things to atoms to moving digits or thoughts. Gone are the days of sending a book by snail mail, to send a book by the internet requires only the push of a bottom, imagine yourself pushing a button a million times in a day. Two things will happen; your account will get fat and your little finger will get a blister, a very sweet blister. There are even automated soft wares that help you do all the work so that you can sit back and relax. But, first you will have to write your book that, is where the work is.

BOOK WRITING

First, you will have to decide what you want to write about, will it be a fiction, non-fiction, your life story, some amazing skill you have that, will benefit the world, a mistake you made that others can avoid or just compilation of quotes. In my own opinion everybody has a story to tell, a book to write, even a baby, (if it could remember its experience in the womb).

Second you will have to have a writing style that captivates your reader to buy your book and to recommend your book to others. To develop a unique writing style you will need to buy writing books, attend writing workshops and develop ideas.

I will have to admit, that, writing a book can be a difficult task, even, for experienced book writers. However, if you are able to write an interesting book you have struck gold. Income from book writing is described as residual, meaning it’s has the potential of making you and your generations rich. In another article, I will discuss how to make your book a success.

Thank you very much for reading this article.

WHAT IS AN ABUNDANCE MENTALITY

In a preceding article I promised to tell you what an ABUNDANCE MENTALITY is- the way the rich think.

Note! To develop an abundance mentality is not an over night thing, it takes a considerable amount of success and failure, blood and sweat, trial and error. But, if you can develop it, you will be truly rich, attracting wealth into your life even if you don’t have any money. You will come to understand that being truly rich is a mentality, a mind set, not money.

Nature explains what an abundance mentality is, the infinite nature of time and space, the endless number of stars, the shear stupendous size of the our universe testify to the abundance we have, nature shows that life is abundant, the sun does not measure the amount of light that shines, the rain that falls is not measured or the amount of air we breath is not also measured (this is not some philosophical thing, this is a way of THINKING). A person with an abundance mentality thinks this way in every aspect of his life; business, shelter, family, health, money, and ends up having an abundance in everything.

Many people become envious of the rich when there is nothing to be envious about; it’s just their way of thinking. Psychologist say men think in logic or have a highly developed logical brain, while women think in emotions or have a highly develop emotional brain. Same for the rich, the rich think in abundance. Would a woman be envious of a man because he thinks like a man or will a woman be envious of a woman because she thinks like a woman? I don’t think so. When it comes to men and women we can easily see how their thinking differs, but when it comes to developing an abundance mentality the difference is not easily observed. except, when the person owns the bank.

HOW TO DEVELOP AN ABUNDANCE MENTALITY

So how do you develop an abundance mentality?

1.      Accept and be happy with who you are: accepting who you are- the first step to having a rich character. A notable quality of the truly rich is that they don’t pretend or copy anybody, they accept who they are, and they accept their individuality.

Many truly rich people unconsciously invent things, I say unconsciously, because they don’t consider it an invention just being themselves, accepting who they are. But since they live among people who are scared or who refuse to embrace their individuality and who prefer to copy, they call what the rich do as an invention.

To start thinking like a rich person, stop putting on any appearance, to be something other than- you, this will give your character richness. More on this in part two of this article.

2.      Creativity: being creative is the essence of the truly rich. This is the difficult part because it employs a different kind of thinking, and thinking is not an easy task for many people. This is the secret of the truly RICH they are able to think creatively. Nature is demands creativity, that no baby who, will ever be born will have the same thumb print, nature demands that each human is unique. Creativity will make you be like nature, never repeating, coping or trying to be somebody else. Creativity will make you live the truly abundant life style. In the next article I will discuss how to become creative.

To gain and maintain an abundance mentality is not an easy task, in fact, it’s a life long quest, but if you try to achieve it, the doors of wealth will open to you in abundance.

Thank you for reading this article, you are the best.

UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS LEVERAGE

In 200 B.C in Greece, a Greek man named Archimedes made a wonderful discovery, that by the use of levers, it’s possible to move large objects with little force and he was known to boast; give me a lever and I can move the earth (cocky guy). Lever is the root word for leverage. Just as Archimedes was able to move large objects by fixing a small lever, doing more with less. Theoretically, business leverage follows the same principle, of doing more with less.

 HISTORY OF LEVERAGE

The concept of leverage has developed over time, long before Archimedes started using levers; man has being using one form of leverage or the other. During the Stone Age man invented fire, and fire was a very powerful leverage that could be use for different purposes, to cook, keep warm during winter and for war. Than man moved to the  Agrarian Age, than man discovered the powerful leverage of animal power, horses where used for long distance travel, bulls where used for farming. Then came the medieval time, gun powder and big boats became the new leverage, the country with bigger guns and ships conquered the world. And with the coming of the technological age the radio, television, air planes, trains and automobiles became the new leverage. Today in the information age we have the mobile phone, oil and the biggest thing to hit this world the INTERNET.

BUSINESS LEVERAGE

The greatest business leverage there is, is the human mind. The human mind has being in existence through out the ages, it is the source of all other invented leverages. Everything around  us testify to the power of the mind, from the cloths we wear, the computers we use, the houses we live in, in fact everything is the product of the mind.

Understanding business leverage means using the power of the mind productively, in developing strategic business ideas for financial profitability.

How to develop the mind as a powerful business leverage will be discussed in proceeding articles.

FINANCIAL FREEDOM OR JOB SECURITY

MAKING THE CHOICE

Consciously or unconsciously people choose between job security and financial freedom. What is the difference between job security and financial freedom? Job security as the  name implies means having a secure job, a job a person can use take care of  themselves and their family. Financial freedom means being financially free to do what ever.

Another way to describe financial freedom and job security is- employers and employees- having people work for you and you working for someone. About 90% of people on this earth have unconsciously made the choice of working for someone, while only 10% of people on this earth make the conscious choice of having people work for them. Basically the global community has being split in two-employers and employees. 

 
JOB SECURITY (EMPLOYEES)

A little history

Having a job is a product of the industrial age which began in the 1950’s, an age when the basic way for a person to survive to was to sell his labor for money. Basically, than a family needed only one pay check to survive and employees soon came to see getting a job as the only, way of making money and earning a living. Even today, many university graduates still view earning a living as getting a job.

There is nothing actually wrong being an employee if a person chooses that, a few employees do end up being financially free or rich. As stated in the book why we want you to be rich co-authored by Donald trump and Robert kiyosaki (nice book): Exxon C.E.O was paid almost half a billion dollars as a going away present.

FINACIAL FREEDOM

Ever since 1989 the world enter the information age or the brain age as I will like to put it, and smart individuals have taking advantage and have become financially free. Free to do what ever they want, when they want and with whom they want. This individuals don’t need a secure job because they are free, to provide the secure job.

Financial freedom and job security could be compared to a coin with two sides, which a person flips to begin the game of financial independence will determine how the future for that person will be.

SAVING VERSUS INVESTING MONEY

SAVING MONEY

Saving money is the process of putting money away for future use. People today put money away in banks, with the banks paying interest on the money, this interest increases the value of the amount of money save this is called, compound interest. Albeit Einstein said” compound interest is the greatest discovery of our time”. Rothchild a billionaire said “compound interest is the eight wonder of the world.

Money saved is defined as safe and secure, there are no losses only profit. Little or no risk, a very easy way to multiply your money. A Danish proverb says “money saved is as good as money gain”. Saving is basically a lazy way of making money.

INVESTING MONEY

Investments, defined by many people with one word “risk”. Risk is not a good word to many people. Investments carry a measure of risk but, compared to saving money, investments have the potential of being more profitable. Banks offer 5%, 10% or 20% interest on a savings account or stock bond. Investments offer returns of 100%, 500% or even 1000% on capital invested only with risk.

Saving and investing money can be compared to, walking and driving. If two people where to travel from Chicago to New York, one by foot the other by a 500 horse power range rover spot jeep (love that car), both will arrive at their destination only, that the person with a 500 horse power car will arrive in a day or two (with the risk of accident) and the guy on foot will arrive in weeks with no risk. (Assuming no risk of being robbed and bad weather)

Investing requires creativity, self-control, high financial education and high financial IQ to succeed, while saving money requires, little or no thinking, little self-control and living below your means.

WHICH IS BETTER

Choosing between investing and saving depends on what you wish to achieve, it depends on your dreams, goals and vision for your future.

MONEY MAKING 101

Money, money, money. Money is one of the major subjects to study in life. Why? Because, a good continuous education about money could lead to a life of enjoyment and possible happiness. While, no education about money could lead to a life of struggle financially, anxiety and possible sadness.

Money is not a subject that is discussed by everybody freely; in fact, many people and families around the world may even view discussing about money as evil. A person talking freely about money may be viewed as materialistic, be envied and view as evil.

Why is the subject of money so controversial? And why do many people prefer not to learn about money, choosing to go through life learning things the hard way-through trial and error, the school of hard knocks?

In my own opinion there should be a subject called money making 101 (development your street smart ability), in every elementary school, given every generation of children a strong foundation about money.

Although, many teachers are doing good, teaching the academic perspective of money, it’s origin and history. But, more information should be provided to understand the value of money, how to control money, how to save money, how to invest money, how to shield money and how to share money. Each, being a school of thought on its own how to value money, how to save money, how to invest money how to shield money and how to share money will be discussed in subsequent articles.

Understanding money could make you truly rich, but some people may say they don’t want to be rich. However, they may spend 3-4 painful years in the university studying hard to get a job and when they get a job, they work round the clock plus they constantly harass their employers for a rise and they say they don’t want to be rich. Well, their actions are louder than their words. Hope, I’m not being too rude.

In conclusion, many of life’s pleasures or misery comes from knowing something or nothing about money.

SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE MONEY WITHOUT MONEY

There is a big debate about weather it takes money to make money, some people believe that money can only be made with money, while others believe that you don’t need money to make money.

I ‘m on the opinion that it doesn’t take money to make money, but it takes brains, a strong drive to succeed, a principle base mission, a dream base on reality, being industrious and the right information. When a person has all of these things the money will come.

Author of rich dad poor dad, Robert kiyosaki  a new York times best seller had this to say, when ask weather it takes money to make money:

“Dose it take money to make money? I am frequently asked this question. The answer is, NO! in my opinion it has always being “NO”. my answer has always been “ it doesn’t take money to make money” it takes information and creativity to make as well as to keep money”.

With the rise of the information age many people are making a lot of money without even a penny in their pocket, building businesses without even a penny in their pocket. Frankly, the lack of money is not an excuse for not trying to make money. 

These simple but, not necessarily easy ways of making money without money. Two of them will be discussed in this article.

PROVIDE SERVICES

Making money is defined as finding a need and filling it. Many people are very busy but, have money to pay for things they cannot attend to. When providing services to people, the objective will be to find this need and fill it. By fulfilling the needs people in an effective way, a person can make big bucks.

Zig ziglar a renowned sales professional said “you can have anything thing you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want”.

Let me show you how profitable providing service to people is. In 2005 alone, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the annual value of all goods and SERVICES in America was $ 12.5 trillion. The GDP did not specify what kind of services where performed, it just totaled it. Providing services to people is a very profitable way of making money without money.

SALES AND NEWTWORK MARKETING

Sales and network marketing are also very profitable ways of making money without money, but many people may disagree with my opinion. People who hate rejection may find it hard to go into sales, and for people who know about the old business model of network marketing may also find it hard to go into it even, if they would like to make money. The old business model of network marketing in the 1960’s and 1970’s required people to stock pile their cars, trucks and garages with products, disturb their family, friends and neighbors to buy and  join the network marketing program. Soon no body liked them or associated with them, once family, friends and neighbors saw them, they saw products coming and a form to fill to join the network marketing program.

No need for that any more network marketing is now the ultimate money making machine, new network marketing corporations have  new business model that are design to help you succeed without you becoming the enemy of the public. And the sweet part about it is that you can start with no money, only with an inner drive to succeed.

THE TRUTH: WHY THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER

The rich, the poor, the have’s the have not’s. Two different groups of people, one group live in abundance, (enjoying the finer things) the other live in scarcity (not having anything to survive). What is the truth behind the abundance of one group and the scarcity of other group?

To truth behind why some are rich and why some are poor lies in understanding both the rich and the poor.

THE RICH

What makes a person rich? Is it the amount of money the person has? The assets, business or health a person has, surly these things could be used to describe a rich person. But do they really make a rich person?  Because, there are people who have a large amount of money, assets, business or health who are still poor and cheap.

Forbes magazines definition of being rich as, earning $ 1,000, 000 in income and $10,000,000 in net worth. If a person meets up to Forbes definition of rich, the person must be exceptional. Right?

Although, the rich are exceptional people and exceptional in their accomplishments. They are normal people, like everyone, they walk on two legs like everybody, they sleep in one bed, they wear a single set of  cloths each day like everybody and they eat three meals like everybody  so what makes them rich? My research leads me to believe that it is their MIND. Rich people think differently than from other average people, and it is this different way of thinking that makes them rich.

Earlier, I said that the rich live in abundance, and that abundance becomes their reality, the truly rich (not the Jones pretending to be rich) believe that life is abundant or in another word they have an ABUNDANCE MENTALITY.

What an abundance mentality is will be discussed in a subsequent article.

Therefore, we now may have an idea about what makes a person rich, let’s see what makes a person poor.

THE POOR

How would you describe a poor person, the very thought of poor people sends chills down my spine. Poor people are people who don’t seem to have anything to survive. As stated earlier, rich people think differently, likewise poor people think differently. Many poor have a life characterized by scarcity, which basically shows how their MIND works. This is real.

Quantum physics scientist point to the discovery that the mind of a person shapes their environment. If you walk into a dirty environment, you can tell that the people that live there have dirty and have disorganize minds. Conversely, if you enter a clean place, you could tell that, the people there have clean and organized minds.

Frankly, poor people strongly believe in their minds that everything is scarce, or we call it a SCARCITY MENTALITY. And this scarcity reflects in their environment, their financial status and their possessions.

This is an abstract from the book mental millionaire by Martin Kohe and Judith Williamson

A house wife buys some new furniture for her home what is the first thing she dose? She put’s covers on them. Why? To save them. Save them form what?..........

Some people buy elegant homes furnish them and then fix up the basement to live there. They save the rest of the house.

That’s the mind set the poor have, that’s the mind set they have, which keeps them poor and makes them poorer.

Why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, simply lies in their MIND, their thinking. The answer doses not lie in their possessions.

To solve the problem of poverty in this world, basically means a shift in thinking from that of a poor person to that of a rich person how to make this shift will be discussed in another article.

I’ve never being poor, only broke. Being poor is a state of mind, being broke is a temporary conditions

PSYCHOLOGY and MONEY

Mind and money is there a connection? Absolutely. A person’s psychology has a direct bearing on how much money he or she make’s.

In many subjects and courses studied round the world, the introduction is always to mold the student’s mind to see the world through the eyes of the subject. We have psychology of economics, psychology of understating mathematics, psychology of accounting, psychology of marketing, in fact, the list is endless. But the basic of understanding any subject is to establish a psychology, to establish a suitable mind set. After that, the details are explained.

To make money is, such a suitable mind set required? Yes. But sad to say many people who wish to make money go through life with the wrong mind set about money or don’t even have a mind set about making money, at all. That could be compared to person trying to  be an economist but thinking like fisher man or thinking like nothing, although it’s good to have both perspective that is being an economist and a fisher man and to see the world from both worlds, analyzing there relationship. But it doesn’t make much sense to have the wrong mind and yet want to make a lot of money. A mind set is not something that we get over night, especially the mind set about money; it’s one that evolves over decades.

OUR BACKGROUND AND OUR PSYCHOLOGY OF MONEY

A majority of people today can hardly survive. Why? Is it because they where caused to a life of lack? No.  Or is it because people who have more money where made with superior genes? No. the answer lies in the preconceived thought about money that has developed for a very long time.

Imagine three generations of people, great grandfather, grandfather and father who passionately believe that money is evil and, if a person had money the person must be evil. Or our Sunday school teacher who constantly tells us sincerely, “that the root of all evil is the love of money”. Let’s analyze that statement, it comes form the Christian bible 1 Timothy 6:10 (if you have a bible you can look it up) it says LOVE of money and not MONEY is the root of all evil. Not money itself. Don’t view money as evil but rather the love you have for money. Just like a person in love who could climb a mountain, sail the 7 seas, or even catch a grenade for someone (not an advice). The uncontrolled love of money has lead many people to commit horribly crimes against their fellow man. Conversely, people have use money to serve a greater good to their fellow man.

As stated earlier, the psychology of money is influenced by our family. Many people, raised in the lap of poverty, lack and misery, have relatives who keep telling them negative things about money. Like money is hard to make, you will never be rich, the rich are evil. These negative statements has a subtle accumulative effect overtime and, tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy for them. Because it has being scientifically proven that if you or someone keeps telling you something you start to believe it even if it’s wrong.

To start making money you need the right psychology, the right mind set. The right psychology, the right mind is that money is not evil, people with money are not evil and money is just a means of exchange used for centuries. Also, think about your belief about money, your family and friends believe about money. If it has being negative, the best thing to do is to change it to something positive. It could be as simple as money is easy to make, it was simple as changing hard with easy and believe it and work with it. Because just as many people are told from birth that money is hard to make, many people are told that money is easy to make and both have very different financial life. It could be the only thing that can change your financial status, even if you don’t have any money. It may sound like some simplistic nonsense, prove me wrong experiment for just with it for 6 mounts with it tell yourself that money is easy to make and say it with the same believe that money is hard to make it. If nothing happens you are right and you can go back to your old ways.
