Some secret facts about money
The subject of money is perhaps more controversial than any other subject. The reason is not far-fetched. Modern commerce has no other instrument or vehicle to operate than money. There is no market on earth where money is not required for your transactions.
Because of the importance of money, many of the wars that were fought and are still being fought have money as a reason. Marriages have been broken over money. Suicides and murders for money have been committed. Splinter groups of churches and other religious groups have emerged because someone wants to have control of the church treasury, not necessarily to enthrone accountability and transparency, but to have unlimited access to money. Board meetings have degenerated into cheap politics and boot-licking for money. The list of worries that money has caused is endless.
Here are some secret money facts to help you succeed in your legitimate pursuit of riches:
1. Money can grow: Those who have made money legitimately, and in their own right, will tell you that they started their journeys to riches with some ‘peanuts’ called seed capital. They have been able to turn money into vast estates mainly because they know how to farm money to grow. Jim Rohn once said that you should feel sorry for a man who inherits a million dollars without being a millionaire at heart. Look around you today, how many who earned money by inheritance have been able to maintain or cultivate it?
A business magazine carried a poser asking people to choose between $ 10 million and $ 100 million that is capable of doubling for 45 days. Many readers in their response to the poser in the next issue of the magazine chose the $ 10,000,000.00. It was later discovered that one hundred would be more than $ 360,000,000,000.00 in 45 days. The moral of the imposter is that there is not little money. The money that we despise today for its value / size can become very significant if we put it to good use. Many have wasted so-called loose change that could have grown over time and made them rich. The capital market is a veritable ground for the growth of money in large quantities. There was a story about an official who constantly invested in stocks during his civil service career. His princely children inherited $ 625,000.00 through his shares when he passed away. The sage could have spent the money he invested in stocks on chunks of pepper soup because they were small in value, but see what they became over time.
2. Money can move: Money flows to where there are viable ideas just as electrical current flows to a path of least resistance. Someone once said that if all the money in the world were to be collected and distributed equally to all human beings on earth after some time, the money would be redistributed to its original owners in almost the same proportion as it was before it was will carry out uniform distribution.
It was Henry Ford (the man who made his wealth by making cars affordable for Americans) who said that if all his money and business were lost through some mishap, he would come up with another money-making machine. If you know how to get money moving in your direction, you can turn any situation you are in into a legitimate money making opportunity.
When a man is poor but blessed with talented and wise children, his poverty cannot be perpetual because money will eventually move in his direction through his children. I can’t imagine Bill Gates’ father starving for the rest of his life. Why? Because the money has been transferred to his family through his prodigy son.
On the contrary, when a man is financially well off and is replaced by stupid children who refuse to learn how to earn and grow money, but prefer to spend his inheritance, his father’s wealth will soon become history because money can move. .
3. Money can die: Everything we’ve seen so far makes it clear that money can die. Basically, there is a money killer, and that is to get to sudden riches without having the mentality of the rich. A wise man said that the darkest hour in a man’s life is when he sits down to plan how to spend the money he did not work for. There are so many ways that people get instant wealth. Unless these ‘lucky ones’ learn a thing or two about money, they will end up in the same financial situation they were in before they hit their fortune.
4. Money responds to certain stimuli: It was noted earlier that money flows where there are ideas. Those who have made their fortune will tell you that the first thing money responds to is a passion for what it does. I mean making money legitimately. Many have been misled into believing that only through corruption can one become rich. Nothing could be further from the truth. Anyone who knows how to solve man’s problems in a particular area and is passionate about it, will earn money over time.
The rich are very passionate about their work. If Friday is your happiest day of the week because you wouldn’t have to go to work on Saturday, or Sunday nights are your saddest periods of the week because there is work the next day, then you are enslaved. Money will be attracted to you when you work from the heart, as long as your work solves some problems for someone.
Those who love their jobs bring benefits to those who sponsor them. By bringing increase to your clients, you make each one of them your apostle. They become your non-commissioned salespeople and tell others to use your services or products. Wealth follows automatically as long as you don’t start taking shortcuts. Many failed business owners will blame their failures on the government and the economy, but if they are honest with themselves, they will admit that they never gave a damn about delivering value to their clients. The disappearance of their companies was only a matter of time.
5. Money is neutral: These are perhaps the most comforting facts about money and indeed about life! Anyone who aspires to success can succeed. Many of those who claim to want to be successful in life only speak lip-service on the subject of success. People of all backgrounds, of all backgrounds, of all religions, of all races, of all vocations, and of all IQs have made money. The reason is that money is neutral.
As long as you add value to the market, the money will flow in your direction. This has nothing to do with who you are, but a lot to do with what you do. The reason many remain poor is that they do not operate at the highest level because they believe that money is the preserve of the rich and privileged. That mindset affects everything they do. It becomes a generational impediment when they “infect” their children with the same mental programming.
The truth about money is that it is not related to blood. He has no father, mother, uncle, aunt, grandmother, siblings, or cousins. It also has no homeland. An American (Bill Gates) had been at least once the richest man in the world. Nigeria can produce the next richest man in the world if someone in Nigeria brings a value to the market that exceeds the current value that the richest man is putting on the market. This is definitely not unattainable, it just takes a firm belief in the fact that money is neutral.
A survey conducted in the United States of America on a sample of 100 millionaires who made their millions in their own right revealed that 80 percent of them came from poor backgrounds; the remaining 20 percent come from middle-class families, while none of them come from upper-class families. The survey confirms the fact that money is neutral
In conclusion, money is not age sensitive, it is not gender sensitive, it is not sensitive to race or color. In fact, it doesn’t care who owns it.
