I was speaking to one of my students today and I said
'money is a game, and people who know how to play it win, even if the world does not consider them smart.'
*silence*
I added another line. It went like this:
Why is this so?
Because it is a game
It is a game you can only master as you play it and that by the rules.
What are 10 Laws that guide money that can help you as you pursue your career?
Let's see them
1. The Law of value.
Money will always flow towards value.
Put succinctly,
This is the singular most important truth that business people understand.
When you spot problems and 'create or find' solutions (value), money will flow/
And if someone else spots that problem, and creates the solution, money will flow from you to that person before you benefit from the value.
2. The law of belief!
You see, you will always act, behave and respond in a manner consistent with what you believe.
If you believe the rich are evil, you will place a ceiling to how rich you can be.
If you believe someone owes you their wealth, you will live a life of entitlement
You need to watch what you believe about money.
Believe in abundance.
Believe in possibilities.
Believe in money as a tool for positive endeavors.
Believe that being rich is being good.
Believe that YOU WILL MAKE MONEY!
No one likes problems. No one likes hard times, but like Napoleon Hill said in his classic 'Think & Grow Rich,' every adversity carries in itself the seed of opportunity.
Whenever you see a problem, a challenge, a difficulty, money is smelling.
The bigger the problem, the bigger the potential for money.
The more difficult the challenge, the more money there is to be made.
Stop complaining about the problem. Begin to see it as an opportunity to make money.
Many people confuse this law to mean 'aspire to inspire the rewire that you desire...'
No. It isn't.
It isn't what some motivational speakers have told you.
Here's what it is:
You attract to your life the people and situations that are a mirror
Your thoughts, belief system will attract the kind of persons who are a reflection of what is going on in your mind.
How does this tie into money?
People and situations carry the opportunity (seed) for Money.
People will give you the INFORMATION
Your thoughts will determine if you see a problem as an opportunity to explore or an evil to avoid.
Let me shock you with an analysis I shared with a friend:
Have there been times you saw an old friend of yours after a long time/
And you feel like your life is not moving forward?
Here's the gist:
Someone somewhere introduced that friend of yours to an opportunity that/
Maybe, if you had been in the loop and taken advantage of similar opportunity, you could have been in the same place.
You attract what you think, and believe.
You become what you think and believe.
Oh I love this law so much I had to capitalize ABUNDANCE.
There is enough to go round!!!
The is enough money do you to make.
This may be hard for some persons to comprehend, especially if they have only ever experienced lack and insufficiency
You should believe it!
When you strongly believe it and it becomes a conviction, that conviction will strengthen you and keep you going as you work to turn that belief to reality.
I'll allow you digest these ones.
The second part will be up in a bit.
I hope you find your truth and run with it.
Don't be limited by the things you see around you.
Think big.
Explore and explode.
