Ways to Make Money
ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR MONEY! – ALWAYS PREPARED! Can anyone become rich? . - Yes, but the means differ… - If a person has set his mind on earning a lot of money, how does he know whether he is ready for it or not? - I decided not to dwell on the last saying of my guest as it was too profound. - And what does he need money for? What is he going to do with it? - I think we all have similar goals. For instance, to help your child get education, to help your parents… - Did you know that if someone is concerned about other people’s needs in the first place instead of his own, he does not receive the energy for making money? – Irina “diagnoses” immediately. - This is self-deception. It is personal needs that primarily lie at the heart of making money. How can I satisfy someone if I am not satisfied myself? - It turns out that money is impossible without egoism, – I sum up with disappointment. - Healthy egoism! It is natural that a person saves a base amount. Before starting to earn money, you should decide – what for. - Let’s say I have come to the conclusion I need money. What should I do next? How to define whether I am ready to be rich or not? Will money make me happy or will it do harm? - If you have a good imagination, you can play the following game. Imagine that you already own a desired sum of money here and now. What will you do? Whom will you share this news with? Will your circle of acquaintances change? Analyze your own actions from beginning to end. Now think of the feelings this “procedure” excited in you. Draw a picture of how you want to use the money (what you want to spend it on), then compare the results with Abraham Maslow’s pyramid “Hierarchy of needs”. Look at which levels of the pyramid you have assigned your fortune to. For instance, you have decided that you will spend 60% of the money on publishing your own book, 30% - on investments in a business you find interesting, and the rest will be put aside for “a rainy day”. It means your needs are concentrated on self-expression, satisfaction of your own importance, and you ignore the other needs – physiological and safety ones (house, insurance).
One could say, as a result, the quality of your life will not change. Moreover, you have already set your mind to having “a rainy day”. Human nature implies satisfying basic physiological needs in the first place, and then stability, safety concerns, etc. If you have neglected some component of the pyramid during your fortune distribution, you are not ready to have money yet. It is possible that you are simply shy of your needs or ignore them; in this case you will need psychological help. WHAT TO DO WITH THE MONEY? Let us assume a person has grasped what he really wants to do and decided he really needs the money, and he "has come to an agreement" with his subconscious. Will he definitely succeed? - No, he won’t. It is not enough to get the money – it is also important to learn how to keep it. There are three aspects of social competence one should learn to develop in order to be able to take the money for the invested energy. They are: an ability to mark off unneeded things (you should know how to say “no” firmly); an ability to make requests so that you do not suffer if they are rejected (I am free to make a request, you are free to either grant or reject it); an ability to confrontation (you should know how to solve difficult problems, how to deal with different situations, to express your feelings and opinions freely).
