When you think about the amount of work you
put in to earn money on a weekly basis, what kind of emotion does that
thought generate? Are you angry about the poor working conditions in
your place of employment? Do you hate your main boss or supervisor? If
you don't truly relish the thought of going back to work on Monday
morning and doing the job that you are getting paid good money for, then
maybe you should be doing something else to generate a healthy income.
You would be surprised at the amount of people in the American workplace
who actually do enjoy their job. The latest poll that was taken
regarding this issue came to this conclusion: 60% of all working
Americans truly love their job, while only 35% said they should be
looking for more productive work in the field of their choice. What
category do you fall into?
Money is not the root of all evil, as
so many people have stated. No, the true phrase is the "love of money is
the root of all evil". That changes the complexity of the phrase
entirely. But the phrase should really be: The love of making money for
yourself is the key to true happiness. Think about that phrase for a
moment. Does that sound greedy? It should not because when you really do
enjoy making money for your lifestyle in whatever vocation you really
love, it enhances all of your surroundings, including your friends and
relatives.
A truly joyless person always brings down whomever that
person happens to be around. But if that joyless person all of a sudden
got a great-paying job at a movie studio making a ton of money as a PR
assistant to Steven Spielberg, his mood would be greatly enhanced so
much that he would hug the first person he came in contact with! You
should turn that joyful person into you.
You should make money a
life-fulfillment choice, not a negative distraction When it comes to
money, most people are so distracted by the negative effects of never
having enough money in their bank accounts, that they are consumed by
the never-ending need to save more money, make more money and even steal
more money. When things get so desperate in life that you have to steal
from people, you know you've hit the absolute rock bottom in your life.
It happens to people all over the world though.
When you're
two-year old is screaming for baby food, and you just ran out of the
last jar with no chance of getting any more, or your car is about to be
re-possessed by the bank, you might actually think about robbing your
next-door neighbor's plasma TV just to make ends meet. That is the
pinnacle of having let money make a huge negative impact on your life.
The only way to avoid that is to make earning your money fulfilling to
you every time you receive a paycheck.
To get over the negative
aspects of acquiring money, you need to starting earning it through
doing something you would do any way. A good example would be to seek
out one of those internet companies that pay you to web surf. I know it
sounds like a scam, but they really do have legitimate programs out
there that pays you a certain percentage for each time you use their
browser to surf the web. That three cents a click can turn into ten
dollars a week, and then skyrocket to forty dollars a month real fast.
It is amazing the amount of joy you will receive when someone actually
pays you to do something you truly love. Even that little amount goes a
long way to turn your negative looks at money into positive ones.
Money
has no true inherent value, so stop treating it like it does People
seem to always "ooh" and "ahh" when they see a thousand dollar bill, or
even a one hundred dollar bill when somebody shows it to them in person.
They tend to think of it as a work of art or other commodity that has
inherent value. Get that thought out of your head right now! Money
itself is determined by social consensus, which means that if the US
dollar goes down, so does the amount of things you can buy with it. So
why worship something that you can never put a true value on? It does
not make sense to do something like that, and being able to look at
money and see what it really is will free your mind from the
stranglehold that acquiring money has on your psyche. Start visualizing
money for the true thing it really is: Green Paper! Nothing more,
nothing less.
How to earn money the right way Let's examine the
different ways money is earned on a day to day basis. A lot of people
sell possessions to earn money. If you really hate to go to your job
every day, maybe this avenue is right for you. eBay is a good way to
sell whatever it is that you feel will earn you some good profit
potential, so look into that immediately. Look for and research a market
inefficiency that you can fulfill and take the profit from. For
instance, if you have a real knowledge of everything that has to do with
computer parts, and you know where to get them very cheaply by buying
them in bulk, check eBay to see what most of the bids are going for. The
best rule of thumb to see if you can generate a good amount of money
from those profits is: You paid $50 for 20GB of memory by buying 40
memory chips for $200. Sold the 20GB on eBay for $120 each.
That
is more than a fifty percent profit margin, more than enough to earn
some good money from those sales, even if you have to buy the memory in
bulk. As long as the bids are going for $120, you will continue to make
that average so the remaining memory chips can be sold at the same price
or even more if that memory chips becomes more of a commodity.
Another
way of earning money is by investing any money you have that is not
appreciating at all. By that, I mean if you have $500 just sitting
around in a savings account that is generating only 2 percent interest,
you need to take that money out now and open a low-interest CD account
that generates four percent interest every month. Since your amount is
only $500, you are not qualified for the higher-earning CD account, but
at least it's a start! That's the way you can actually accumulate more
money by earning a passive income, which many people believe is the
greatest way to earn long term profits.
If you start out right now
and are able to develop five lines of passive income coming to you
within the next month, by the end of the year you should have at least
an extra total profit of $300. And usually passive incomes increase by a
ratio of 20 percent every year, so after two years your profit will be
up to earning $380 a year on that initial $300 profit. And the best way
to grow way beyond that is to find at least three more ways to generate
other streams of passive income so the money-making potential increases
by forty percent every year. That would translate into an extra $45 in
free money for you per month by doing absolutely nothing! Amazing stuff,
huh?
Leave the "moocher" mindset behind When you are kid and
still living at home, you are expected to live off the earnings that
your father and mother bring home every week. But when you reach
eighteen and are out of high school, if you still live at home and have
your hand out every day demanding the same money that they used to give
you when you were in school, you will become what society calls a
"moocher". Today, a lot of twenty-somethings still retain this attitude,
and the parents don't seem to have a problem with it! These forty year
old parents seem to think that it's a lot tougher today for kids to make
a decent living, so we'll allow Johnny or Tiffany to stay at home until
they can afford an apartment or a house on their own. That is called
enabling, folks and it helps absolutely no one if it continues to go
unchecked.
The kids who are pampered at home are the ones who are
least likely to find a great job and contribute to society. They will
still look for handouts from friends, strangers and family every day to
supplement their measly incomes or to support their daily video game
lifestyles. Don't ever become a moocher, and don't ever give a moocher
your hard-earned cash, no matter how much they beg. The best social
mindset that you can have today is by contributing a part of your money
to a charity organization, not to a lazy twenty-three year old who still
lives at home surfing the web 12 hours a day.
These days, its
easier than ever to find a job that your son or daughter can excel at as
long as they have a good working knowledge of all things connected to
the pc and the internet. So don't let them bully you into letting them
stay at home until their thirty. Do some job searching of your own and
get them out there on interviews if you have to. We all need to make an
effort in life to achieve the things we want, and your kids are no
different.
I hope this has helped improve the way you earn and
view money in the future , and I hope it also will help you to find new
ways of earning the profit you need to enhance your lifestyle.
