Ideas of making money
Introduction
It’s a safe bet that more ink and paper has been wasted on making more money than anything else. Who would have thought that basic things like food, transportation, or a home would cost so much? We used to think of a millionaire as rich. Very soon that is going to be the poverty level.
So, how do you get ahead and stay there with the costs increasing everyday? Surprisingly, there is no secret to making a lot of money. The problem is that people want it to be easy, like winning a lottery ticket, a magic formula so that everything falls into the right place to invest and get rich.
Sorry to tell you this, but you must live in the real world, not a fantasy. I share with you the way in which people usually earn money:
1. Start with nothing and grow up in a rough neighborhood. Many successful people started with nothing and struggled everyday of their lives to achieve it..
2. Do what you love and pray that there is a market for it. Steve Jobs said, “The only way to do a good job is to love what you do. If you have not yet found, keep looking. Don’t settle ”He was absolutely right, if you follow your passion and so do your clients, the money will flow.
3. Follow the yellow road to Silicon Valley. The high-tech industry has made a lot of money for many people, not just top executives. Why? Tech startups are the land of equity and opportunity.
4. Own your own business and live like a monk. Two-thirds of millionaires are self-employed. Most have small businesses with low budgets, they invest their money, and according to the book “The millionare next door” they never received any kind of inheritance. Do you really need a new car? I don’t think so.
5. Take risks, make mistakes, and trust your instincts. Many people take big risks , some intelligently, others somewhat silly that they should not take. Trust your instincts and act smart. You will be wrong many times, but that’s okay. Nobody came out winning by playing it safe.
6. Work like never before and make a lot of sacrifices. It is not a question of you enslaving yourself, but keep in mind that Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is a workaholic, as she is in the office about 90 hours a week. The same Elon Musk, he has two companies and does not know how to delegate and let’s not forget Steve Jobs when he had Apple and Pixar at the same time.
7. Create your own luck. They say luck is when opportunity meets preparation. Although I have been very lucky, I never stopped looking for opportunities when I saw a shred of possibility. My advice: tweet and go out into the real world to network .
8. Diversify, diversify, diversify. The idea of old age is so true that it is not funny. I have an old friend, whose investment strategy has always been to put his money in as many different places as possible. It takes time and effort, but the pay is incredible. Save your money, invest it wisely, and diversify.
Conclusion
You can always call yourself a social media entrepreneur or CEO who generates all kinds of free content while the folks at Facebook and Google get rich. The truth is that nobody got anywhere doing what others did. It would be the same if you buy a lottery ticket and pray for a miracle.
