Money, preferably a lot of money - this may not be necessary, but not extra condition happy life. Everyone wants happiness, but not everyone knows why some people manage to get rich and others don’t. Maybe our wrong thoughts and actions are to blame?
Almost every person dreams of having a lot of money, and it is desirable that it falls from the sky or comes in the form of an inheritance; sometimes it is possible for the money to appear in the form of a significant salary for small and quite feasible work.
In any society, stable finances are a kind of measure of everything, so if you have a lot of money, then, of course, you respected man. And if there are really a lot of them, then even better!
With money you can buy a lot of good and really pleasant things for yourself: from a treasured apartment to a luxurious vacation on distant islands in the warm sea, and if you suddenly get sick, then if you have a lot of money you can be treated by the most the best doctors in the most the best clinics peace!
It’s good if making money depends primarily on you, and you systematically and purposefully move towards achieving your cherished goals, but sometimes a person simply cannot make good money, and he himself still cannot understand what is really stopping him? Sometimes this can be explained quite simply: it is he who is interfering with himself. Is this hard for you to believe? Let's figure it out.
1. News on social networks
In fact, such resources are indeed useful tool marketing, if it is developed qualitatively. Namely, organize and conduct various competitions, regularly update public pages, and constantly invite new participants to your group.
The same problem arises if you devote too much of your own time to this work. Just think: out of a thousand people who see your link, only one person actually clicks on it, so essentially the efficiency of such an undertaking is really extremely low. Social networks play enough in some cases important role, but there is absolutely no need to make them your personal priority.
The most basic way not to waste your time thoughtlessly on social networks is not to review or read the news. To keep up to date with everyone important topics, you can just use Twitter. Make a specific list of everything that really interests you - this will really help you get followers. different people exclusively for your interests. You can even use a convenient news aggregator, which itself will track the information you are interested in simultaneously in several social networks, and you yourself will become much less likely to be distracted from work.
2. Regular lunch break
This is your personal time in which you can escape and relax, so that you can then continue working productively and efficiently. If you work in any organization, then you have such a break in mandatory, and if you are your own boss and prefer to work while you work, then reconsider own rules and set a similar rest time in the middle of the day, even if it is not as long as in a normal organization.
Believe me, in half an hour you can really take your mind off work and restore strength, but if you have lunch for more than an hour, then this is really a problem. You just don't have to rush out during your break to watch a movie premiere at the movie theater next door or eat excessively heavy food.
Such things signal that you really overestimate your own capabilities and irrationally distribute own strength. Subsequently, this will naturally affect truly unproductive work and thoughtless spending of one’s own resources, and a long lunch will lead to the fact that in the evening after work you will have to stay late, otherwise such an employee will definitely not be in danger of increasing his earnings.
3. Waiting for the perfect option
Some people deliberately reject all acceptable job offers because they are waiting for the miraculous appearance of the ideal option. In principle, in such an approach, if desired, one can still find positive points, although in a good way and in standby mode you can do something: find a small part-time job, temporary work - even in the service sector, and not just parade around with a phone in your hands, sighing languidly from the unbearable expectation.
You can, in the end, engage in regular freelancing, because in this case everything can be done at home (see “”). Believe me, it’s much better to wait for the job of your dreams, receiving at least not too much money, which really won’t be superfluous.
4. You don't know how to communicate with people correctly
Quality communication is really very important! If it weren’t for it, we would still be living isolated in caves, and there would be no talk of creating a state. If you don’t know how to interact with others at all, and also convey your own ideas to people, then believe me, you are unlikely to make money! Even a masterly knowledge of the Russian language will not help with this!
In fact, the people around us are completely different: they think differently, have their own experiences, believe in literally opposite things. Therefore, it is very important to understand how to better and more accessible convey your thoughts to a specific audience, since different words, constructions and phrases are not only ambiguous, but are also perceived by the audience in completely different ways.
In some cases, you need to select the tone of speech and words extremely carefully and as thoughtfully as possible, otherwise people may simply not understand you, or they will be indignant for a long time that the speaker practically cannot connect even a few words.
5. Your goal is money
Of course, this is a good motivation, but for successful implementation it should not be the priority and the only one. At a minimum, you simply need a regular interest increase to simply fight inflation. To receive the coveted increase, you need to convincingly prove to the employer that you are really worth it.
And in vain you think that you do too much at this job, because there will always be someone who does much more. The situation is similar with promotions. If an employer chooses between an employee who zealously strives to make money and one who really wants to help his company rise higher, then, of course, he will choose the second of them. In other words, you must really like the work, and you must be personally interested in serious changes in the company.
6. Who gets up early...
God provides for that. Remember this folk wisdom? Sleeping and getting a good night's sleep is as normal as working and earning money. But waking up early regularly is practically the very key to success.
If you like to sleep until almost noon, this absolutely does not mean that everyone else also sleeps for a long time. By succumbing to this habit, you can sleep through all the amazing opportunities, the most best vacancies And important events– and, of course, earn much less.
7. Constant training
The most significant problem is that people are shy, afraid or simply don’t want to do anything. There are a colossal mass of reasons that justify this stupid inaction. In fact, a person constantly behaves as if he is preparing or even training for some other life, which will definitely come, but only later.
Believe me, living in rosy dreams of a once-possible happy future is much easier than making that very future yourself. Shocks and global events occur every day, but if you yourself work really purposefully, and even in a job that you really like, then the corresponding material reward will certainly come to you.
8. Don’t put it off until tomorrow...
Constantly putting things off until tomorrow prevents you from being productive today. If you don't want to do something specific right now, this absolutely does not mean that you will want to do it later.
The period of time between the present “now” and the illusory “later” will be filled for you with an unpleasant stream of thoughts and worries about how much you could really do if you started everything on time. Sometimes it really is easier said than done, but try to break this habit and eliminate it from your life.
9. Learn to finish what you start
Do you think that actual receipt Is money a reason to calm down? This is not the most best strategy. Having finally become the owner of the treasured amount, do not rush to immediately spend it on expensive and completely useless things.
Prizes and bonuses are by no means extra money. If you are lucky enough to receive more than you originally expected, then there is absolutely no need to waste it, and there is no need to relax ahead of time either. The money you earn is a material assessment of your work, but if you stop working, this assessment can change significantly. If your financial situation solely depends on your own efforts, then you will most likely always be without money, since this is the only way you can work hard.
Earning decent money is not that difficult. But don’t be jealous, look for your own path - it’s much more difficult. But as soon as you use all your resources for this and begin to sincerely believe in yourself, then, without a doubt, you will come to the finish line as a winner.
Yes, the settings interfere. Moreover, they are unconscious. This means that in your head you may think that you really want to achieve success, but you will unconsciously do everything so that money passes you by.
How to get rid of attitudes? Just write down on a piece of paper everything you think about money and wealth. Favorite quotes, phrases from relatives and friends, images of wealthy people. Well, did you take paper and pen? At least such a desire appeared? If not, then get acquainted: here is a living illustration of how much you “want” financial success In fact. If you’re too lazy to even pick up a pen and paper to achieve your “goal,” then you don’t really need it, right?
Don't think this is just a joke. After all, this simple exercise shows, among other things, whether there is in your life place for money. At least on paper. If you are not ready to give them space and time, then they will not even think about visiting you. Money and self-esteem are fine. And they will not go where they are not respected.
Attitude towards money owners — important point our program.
What do people around you say about rich people? How do you feel about the chapters yourself? large companies, oligarchs, billionaires? If you have heard since childhood that they are all dishonest people, then do not be surprised that your unconscious does not attract money. After all, according to your own logic, it turns out that having money means “being bad.” And not a single one healthy person will not strive for what makes him a monster. You don't want to be dishonest, do you? Don’t want to be treated the same way you treat the oligarchs? So you won't.
Another important component of financial success is love for your business. But even here, evil attitudes prevent us from finding ourselves and loving what we do.
Remember your family: how did you get the money - with difficulty and an exhausted grimace? Or with joy and interest in your business? Did your parents like to work? Or have you unconsciously learned that Friday is the best day of the week? After all, you have seen how tired mom and dad are, how happy they are that the working day is over... So where does the belief that you can love work come from? And love for your business is an integral part of financial success.
Next stop - plans for life. What will you do if you have everything?
When we dream of wealth, often the end of this fairy tale looks like this: “And I will have a house/car/insert the right word, and I will rest.” That is, money is needed in order to... do nothing. If your thoughts go approximately according to this scenario, I have to disappoint you: this does not happen.
Not only does our psyche avoid emptiness with all its might. There is another point here: money does not tolerate stagnation. They need to move, they need to have a flow. It’s possible to do nothing without money, but with money it’s not possible. With money comes responsibility for it. With real estate will come the need for repairs, with a large sum - the need to invest it somewhere, save it, increase it. So doing nothing certainly won’t work, no matter how tempting the myth that hired people can do all this for you. I assure you: once you achieve success, you will very difficult to give into the wrong hands what was acquired through backbreaking labor. And even if we succeed, we will still have to tirelessly monitor these people.
Many people dream about material values as if about something transcendental. “Oh, if only there was a Bentley,” says every second man. But how many of them actually retrained it from an unattainable dream into real goal? The vast majority don’t even look at how much their dream costs (even a used one will do for starters). Not to mention focusing your plan on this specific amount: “Well, I need this much, which means that with my current income I will save in this much time. It seems like we need to create additional income in such and such an amount.” And very few take the real estate off the chair and begin to act according to plan. And this plan will work if there is a next goal, if the car is a stage and not the end of a fairy tale where emptiness lives.
And there is also such a thing as a lifestyle. This is what all our financial dreams are focused on. After all, we don’t need money by itself. We need a certain feeling, which we get. Some quality of life. And this is the best motivation. It is created in two ways: surroundings and new experiences.
Each company has its own rules, its own habits, its own standard of living. If your friends came out to new level, having opened your own business, sooner or later they will pull you there too. They will talk about these topics, lovingly push you in the same direction, infect you with their activity - in a word, they will make the idea of your own business the norm for your psyche. Even if you previously thought that this was an unattainable dream, thanks to them it will become part of reality. This leads to a very simple idea: surround yourself with those who want the same thing or have already achieved it.
And now about new experience. Look: if a person has never gone to the sea, then for him this trip is just a dream. And he can easily do without the sea. But if he is used to going there twice a year, if it is unbearable for him to be in the city all the time, then he will bend over backwards to go there.
If you allow yourself to get used to more, then you simply will not have a chance to live differently. Another option is to put yourself in such conditions that you cannot help but earn money. For example, get a suitable wife. Or at least a mortgage.
And yes, remember the main component of financial success: get up and do. Many people think that if they learn to think differently about money, change their attitudes, everything will be fine. If you think the same, then do not forget to replace this installation too.
How many people complain about low income, lying on the couch or, conversely, sitting in an expensive cafe. And it seems like the places are different, but the problem is the same. And the salaries are different, but the essence is the same. And the needs are not similar, and money is equally lacking.
So let's look at a small list in which you will certainly find yours, probably rethink it and, finally, you will have as many paper ones as you need. Although, they say, there are never too many of them.
1. You don't believe you can have more money.
You often watch programs and read about successful people who earn crazy amounts of money. And you think that you will never achieve this. That they got it by accident or got it from their parents. Someone wrote a book, and it sold out in huge numbers. Another won the lottery. The third had a hit. The fourth was born into a wealthy family. Etc. But don’t think about the fact that, for example, many stars starved and sang in seedy cafes. The writers filmed four square meters and constantly received refusals from publishers. In general, the path to money is always tortuous and originates from poverty. Therefore, it is never too late to start it. The main thing is to believe that you are worthy of money and not be afraid of it, immediately spending it on everything you were deprived of. Don’t push away the idea that you can do just like wealthy people. After all, you have everything for this. You have you.
2. Afraid to start small
Perhaps you don’t have a significant amount of money to take on and organize an expensive business. But it’s quite possible to take out a loan, or it’s better to save for the future and buy a successful, but low-budget franchise. Or duplicate it without spending money on unnecessary instructions from managers. Find design solutions, suppliers, inexpensive alternatives and save money at the start. And then develop with the arrival of income. It is important that your “child” looks presentable from the very beginning. Everyone doesn't need to know how much you put into it or what you picked up on sales.
3. Spend money on your whims
A large percentage of those who complain about having little money do not keep track of their finances. And if you delve into them, you can clearly see how they leak into all sorts of nonsense. We replace a trip to a restaurant with friendly gatherings at home (preferably not at home) or a trip to nature with our own products. And we are surprised at the amount saved. We remove alcohol from life. We take a container of food to work and don’t run to the next restaurant for lunch. We deprive ourselves of a pair of shoes for one outing. Etc. Let's look at the result, and a lot has accumulated there!
4. Spend time doing the wrong things.
We are sure that if you have time to complain, it is not well spent. Do you want money? Then stop resting. They do not stick under a lying stone. There is no need to prepare mentally for the fact that you will be left without a wonderful evening with friends or will not go on vacation. Just do things and they will engross you. We ate, slept and got to work. And rejoice at what you have achieved while sipping grape juice, you will later, when you are satisfied with your income.
5. Do not invest, do not open new projects and ways to earn money
The easiest example. You work as an electrician. Naturally, they pay little. But what’s stopping you from spending extra money installing wiring and fixing sockets? A cook? It's time to bake custom cakes! In general, the train of thought is clear. And if you own business, then remember about competition and constant market instability. It is necessary to innovate, learn and monitor the needs of the clientele through surveys and analysis. It also happens that the field of activity completely falls outside the needs. In this case, you should not stay afloat, but should buy another ship. That is, explore new income-generating positions and choose the right one for yourself.
Our main advice– don’t envy successful people, but follow their example and get off the couch. Good luck and material benefits to you!
Today I would like to talk about making money. Many people ask each other: where and how to make money? Some ask, others readily answer. There are even people who have made such lectures their specialty. They make money professionally by telling people how to make money.
A very interesting business... In fact, there are wonderful coaches among them, such as Robett Kiyosaki, for example. They give great advice. And it would be a sin not to follow their advice. But when people listen to such great business coaches, I get the feeling that they are sitting like in a movie. We came to watch the film. An interesting and useful film. They like it. But they perceive passively. They sit and something pours into their ears. Here the lecturer speaks, here his assistant hands him a marker, here he draws something on the board. If the assistant is pretty, then there is generally something to look at.
Learned - apply!
Most people don't get to the heart of the matter. There is one well-known specialist in the field of information business on the Internet. He conducted his seminars online in a conference format. Gave homework. Trained. Then I stopped doing it. In an interview, he explained: I don’t understand why this is necessary if people pay money to participate in a seminar, and then don’t learn any knowledge, don’t do homework, don’t start their own business? They don't even try!
People subscribe to numerous mailing lists with useful information, people buy information products (e-books, video courses, etc.). And often they don’t even insert the purchased disc into the computer. Do not unpack the ZIP archive from e-book. Or, having opened it, they scan their eyes diagonally. And they put it off until tomorrow: they say, I’ll start tomorrow new life, and today it’s better to relax playing your favorite solitaire or some other game.
Tomorrow the same thing will happen again. It's just terrible. Vicious circle. Where is the activity, where is the willpower?! What kind of business can you build like that?!
What's stopping you from starting to make money?!
Let's be honest.
- Firstly laziness.
- Secondly - fear of selling something.
Do you know what “laziness” is in this case? This is not enough motivation. There is no real need to earn money. At least some money! One is witty, but very angry man once joked:
Why are things better with business in America than in Russia?
Answer: because the American sits and thinks: how can I earn 50 dollars? And our man sits and thinks: what would have happened if Russia had taken a different path in 1905?
I repeat once again that this is a cruel joke. I don't like her at all.
However, note that in this joke one sets himself a specific and achievable goal. (earn $50). And the other poses an abstract question to someone unknown. What do you think is more important to be able to stage?
For a philosopher, it seems more important to be able to pose an abstract question. And for a business person - a specific goal.
What could be more specific than fifty dollars? Only one hundred dollars!
I want money, but I don't want to trade
As you remember, I said: the second obstacle to making money is unwillingness to sell anything.
Why? Yes, because money comes to a person in exchange for goods. This is the law of economics. And most people only think about money. How to attract money, how to save money, how to make money out of thin air, and so on.
It seems to be a simple truth: money is given in exchange for something. But when a person begins to dream about big money, he imagines anything: a fat wallet, gold bars, an expensive mansion, a villa, a yacht, a car, the office of his company, a platinum credit card... You never know! Every dreamer is to the best of his imagination.
And it doesn’t occur to you that this imaginary money will remain a fantasy. If you don't think about the matter. If it works, the money will come. Business is the sale of goods. The product can be different: a bunch of radishes (if you trade at the market) or a CD with a recording of your new album, if you are a popular artist.
If these things are good and you market them well, then a lot of people will pay money for them. They will pay you money.
It's obvious, you say. Yes, obviously. But for some reason this simple truth turns off when a person starts dreaming of big money.
Paradox: when you give money, you give it quite specifically, for something specific. For example, for a carton of milk in a store. But when you receive money in your dreams, you receive it in the abstract. Not as payment for goods. Because you don't have any goods. That's why you don't get money in life. Only salary.
And we are also shy
Yes, many people are embarrassed to sell. It's just kind of awkward. It's better to give it that way. Selling is “somehow ugly.” Inconvenient. I remember my grandfather, who said in such cases: “it’s inconvenient to put trousers over your head.” Rough, I agree. But to the point.
This kind of “money shyness” is our heritage Soviet era. Even if you were not yet alive in the 80s of the last century, your parents already were. And they lived according to the rules of a society in which there was no private property. And for private entrepreneurship they were sent to prison. And a person who bought something cheaper and sold it more expensive was called a speculator. And he deserved universal condemnation.
These oddities have been going on ever since. When, for example, instead of advertising: “Women's demi-season coat for sale (price such and such)”, the lady calls her friend and offers to give away this very coat for free, which she no longer needs. Like, maybe it will suit my daughter, I should try it on... It seems like a good friendly gesture. But in fact, she wouldn’t refuse the money. He's just afraid of something. Afraid to say: I'm selling!
There are, of course, these “sharks of capitalism” who are ready to trade anything, even for desert island will find a buyer. But many, especially intelligent people they are afraid to sell.
But keep in mind:
Anyone who avoids selling avoids money.
“Do you want checkers or go?”
So, we got to the truth that making money means selling something. Selling is profitable. For money.
And here is another paradox. The topic of making money on the Internet is very popular. How to make money online? People ask this question with manic persistence.
Strange. I would like to ask: why on the Internet, my friends? Do you need money? Or - only money earned on the Internet, and no others.
I understand that the Internet is an excellent tool for making money in “autonomous navigation” mode, regardless of full-time work, bosses, etc. Yes, that's true. But do not forget that the Internet is only a tool, not an end in itself.
Use the Internet, it limitless possibilities. But remember that the main thing is to make money in life. And with or without the use of the Internet is a matter of technology.
The following factors most often prevent people from making money. Although in reality there are many more of them.
Lack of self-confidence. Even if no one else believes in you, you should. Then you will calmly accept other people’s criticism, stop wasting time on doubts, and you will find the necessary solutions faster and easier. And you will begin to perceive problems as a challenge, and not as a reason for despondency. And be prepared for the fact that the more successful you become, the more criticism you will have to fend off.
A tendency to analyze and fear of action. Try to reduce the time spent on doubts and thoughts, and take more action. How more people reflects on a problem or task, the more difficulties and obstacles he sees on the way, including imaginary ones. This is how you waste time. And on the contrary, the sooner you begin to implement your plans, the faster you find solutions to related problems and the more soberly you see the situation. You are more likely to succeed in one of several started projects than in just one. Start as many projects as possible. In the process, you will learn whether they have a chance of success, but be prepared to accept failure in stride. This does not mean that you need to act recklessly and constantly take risks.
Trampling in one place. There is an opinion that a person either develops or degrades. In a fast-changing world of huge competition successful person must strive to be in the forefront. This means constantly striving to improve in your field. The more professional knowledge and skills you have, the more you can give to clients and the more you will earn. However, knowledge alone is not enough, try to constantly apply new information in practice.
People who mind their own business rarely succeed. And this is understandable. A favorite activity gives rise to enthusiasm and interest, the brain involuntarily begins to generate new ideas, you even want to free time spend on it. And the more time and effort invested in something, the greater the return. With something you don't like, the result is the opposite. Therefore, it is worth spending time and understanding what really brings you joy, and trying to move in that direction.
The opinion of oneself as a person unworthy of material things. Many people are subconsciously afraid of having more money, but not everyone realizes this. This could be a feeling of guilt, a view of money as something bad, low self-esteem from childhood, or poverty among children of poor parents. Until a person internally accepts the amount he would like to have, he will not be able to earn it, or will quickly lose it. He will refuse opportunities and avoid successful situations. Very important psychological work above yourself, which will develop in you a calm, friendly attitude towards money and at the same time reduce its excessive importance in your eyes. Something that has too much emotion attached to it is difficult to get.
The habit of being a loner. Try to expand and develop your connections with other people. They are especially important in business. Successful people always have many useful contacts. You cannot know when exactly your connections can bring you benefits and financial gain. And the better your reputation as a reliable and positive person, the easier it will be for you to make new connections.
