Added 2023-04-01 12:09:07 +0000 UTCMoney is a touchy subject for many individuals.
If you talk about it too much people think you’re weird, shallow, arrogant, selfish or evil.
In the world we live in today, it’s cool to talk down on getting a lot of money or keeping quiet about it.
Not me LOL
I like to talk about it so we can collectively do better financially.
When we’re uncomfortable we grow our net worth.
These 6 sentences about money might rub you the wrong way. Good.
I'm not here to make you feel good, I'm here to help you improve.
1. A Normal Job Will Not Make You Rich
"Most people fail in life because they major in minor things"
- Tony Robbins
Some people are:
- Very talented
- Intelligent
- Hard working
But they put soo much energy and effort into minute minor things which don't generate towards the overall goal.
In other words, they are heading South when they should be heading North.
They get soo wrapped up in things which don't actually move them forward.
The most financially successful people are either working in a high income career field or business owners.
Not wage slaves. Harsh but true.
You need to make money from a high income field of work, a promising side hustle and maybe even an online business.
Otherwise you’ll probably be working very hard with little return for the rest of your life....That's if you want to be rich.
With what you are currently doing, is there people around the world who've became financially successful doing it?
Is this a field that's been proven to bring in a high income?
If no, then high chance you will not be making a high income from it.
If yes, keep going.
You might have a confidence issue but that doesn’t mean you have capability issues, so go out there and make it happen.
Please do not waste your talents, work ethic and capabilities majoring in minor things.
2. Poverty Is Harder In Every Single Way
Some preach that money is evil.
They tell you making money online is a scam and side hustles are just hustle culture that’ll lead to burnout.
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that money is the root of all evil, but this oversimplification can lead to a damaging mindset.
While it's true that some people may acquire money through unethical means, money itself is not inherently evil.
In fact, money can be a powerful tool for good, whether that's providing for your family, supporting your community, or making a positive impact in the world.
For many who have this "money is evil" they believe their only solution is to
- Do nothing
- Practice self-care and "manifesting"
- Stay in a job and get paid less than you’re worth, Be patient,
- Put up with your shitty boss
- Being behind on bills is normal
- Life is tough and the economy/government (or white people) did this to "us."
Fuck that.
I’d never recommend you choose to believe any of that BS.
As a guy who grew up in a low income is household, I can say that poverty is damn hard.
It’s easier to focus on being moderately wealthy and use money to outsource the stuff you don’t want to do.
Sure, you may not make £1M a year and that’s okay. But at least try to make a decent living.
This whole money-doesn’t-buy-happiness narrative is a joke.
A lack of money stops you being happy because you can’t afford any of the life experiences you’d like to, “experience” before you’re dead.
3. Being Obsessed With Price Rather Than The Value
Price on its own means nothing.
The ROI determines the value of goods and services.
A book might cost you £300.
That’s a lot more than a £20 book from Amazon. But if it teaches you something that makes you £50K, is it work it? Of course.
Of course, don't spend your last £, that's dumb and makes no sense.
Just stop being obsessed with price. Start being obsessed with ROI.
"How much value will this bring to my life?"
4. Your Skillset Is More Valuable Than ANY Crypto, Stocks Or Real Estate Investments
A side hustle to keep you afloat is cool.
However your skills compound faster than any investment.
These methods of outsourcing your wealth building to third parties you have no control over.
The laziness will get you a mediocre return.
The s&p 500 Index fund which is one the most reliable investments, EVER will return on average of 8-10% annual.
Investing into it is cool and I recommend to do so however it's not the best way to building riches. It's just a better alternative to leaving your money in a regular savings account.
Instead, invest in your skills and if there is a chance to level up and upgrade yourself, please do it. It will pay off for you big time.
Go and study or Learn the skills which the market(world) needs and then charge premium prices for your service.
Or become so good at what you do for a living that you now have a lot of leverage in the career market to where you can demand a high wage for your service.
Life is a results based business.
Investments don't make you rich. Investments help to grow and KEEP wealth
(Read that 3 times)
Many people are soooooooo obsessed on what to invest in whilst they don't even have much of a solid income stream to even begin with and they in fact should focus on growing their income.
Again, they are majoring in minor things.
5. The Pursuit Of Endless Amounts Of Money Is A Prison That Leads To A Mental Health Crisis
There is an infinite amount of money in this world, there is no end to it.
So yes, I encourage every person reading this to go out and get the money however it's important to set yourself a financial that when you reach, you will be content.
ex:
"After I get a nice house in a good neighbourhood, Nice car, 50k a year, travel 3-5 times a year I will chill out and just do what I have to do, to maintain my income and my desired lifestyle"
You have to set yourself a certain financial goal that when you eventually reach, you will be content and your main focus is being content and maintaining that desired lifestyle.
There will ALWAYS be more money to be made and chasing more and more and more and more is a never ending race.
6. Ask more £10,000 questions instead of £1 questions
I don’t give a fuck if the coffee costs £3 or £3.30.
I don't give a fuck about paying for Netflix subscriptions.
Worrying about these things is not how you get wealthy, despite what the financial gurus preach in weird-ass books.
Saving £10 won't make you rich, you need focus on increasing your income so you ain't gotta worry about saving £10.
Types Of £10,000 questions to ask yourself:
- What new skills could I learn this year?
- Which certification or courses could I take to increase my income?
- What will the course or certification lead me into?
- How do I get my boss to pay me 20% more?
- How can i increase the amount of views & engagement I am getting?
- How am I going to scale my business and increase profits?
- How can I tweak my investments to produce a better annual return?
