It’s Not About The Money – Part 2

It’s Not About The Money – Part 2
Posted By: jimmy harris on January 23, 2013
FEATURED Content

Money will not give you wealth. Wealth and income are two different things. However, you must enter into the pursuit of wealth and offer products and services to people and businesses. To do this, you develop your mind and create a vision that you can put the work behind to become the catalyst for financial change in your life.

You should read much more and expand your mind. Self-education has much more value, even long-term, than what you learned from the university, although formal education is valuable. I highly recommend that you reduce your intake of TV, Radio, Facebook and garbage talk that adds no value whatsoever. I also recommend that you cultivate for yourself an environment where your “BS meter” is always at or near zero. You need ALL of your time so that you can use it for the purpose of problem-solving – for yourself, individuals and companies.

Belief is the key to wealth. In fact, it is the key ingredient for you to obtain anything greater than what you already own. If you don’t believe it, regardless of what someone else might think, then that outcome simply will not happen.

You see, it’s not about the money. It’s about developing your mind to do what it takes to create a products and services and then finding people or businesses that need those products or services. In fact, it is better if you find the need first, then create the product or service.



I will show you how later, perhaps in Part 5 or Part 6 of It’s Not About The Money.

Visualize yourself with the kind of income and wealth you desire. Research (and follow Subject Matter Experts) topics and ways to create income. Find something that resonates with your inner desires and intellect. This will create passion and help move you toward your goal. Visualizing allow you to grab hold of exactly what you want. Thinking is important because it helps you to visualize.

Never tell yourself, what you cannot do that; rather, think HOW you can achieve it. Thinking about the “how” of a subject matter enables you to put your plan into action because you have given much thought behind it – you have it written down. Writing it down ensures that it is executable, even if it requires some modification later on. Remember, What you think about comes about.

Trading money for time (day job if you have one) will not enable you to become who you truly want to be. So, part of this series is teaching you how to create income and create the level of income to give you time freedom. When all of your money issues are met – and I mean ALL of them – then you work because you love what you do.

Look for Part 3 of It’s Not About The Money as we dig deeper into what it takes for you to develop the Mindset and take Massive Action so that you will have a different kind of motivation when you wake up each morning.
