\"Logo\"10 Excuses People Use To Stay Poor<\/h1>\n
\nWouldn\u2019t we all want to be rich? I find it highly unlikely that you will find a person on this planet who will refuse your offer to give him a million dollars (presuming he knows what money is). Then why aren\u2019t we all rich?<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\nIs it because we don\u2019t know how to become wealthy?<\/i>
\nThere is a very effective cure to not knowing things. Learn from people who do! Google search how to become rich, read some books on the subject, read the autobiographies of successful people and so on.
\nThere are plenty of self made millionaires out there. They didn\u2019t know how to become rich either, yet they did it. Compared to how some of them started their journey, you are way better off.
\nYou don\u2019t need the exact route towards wealth. Just choose how much money you want and take action towards it. Start a business, learn to sing, go treasure hunting. They say 9 out of 10 businesses fail in their first few years. I\u2019ve already failed in 2 business ventures and I\u2019m working on my third. If you persist long enough and learn from your and others mistakes and successes you will succeed eventually. The odds are forever in your favor.
\nThis post is dedicated to all the excuses I\u2019ve ever heard of on the topic of money. I\u2019ve already mentioned one of them so let us continue, shall we?
\nMoney is the root of all evil. I am a good person, therefore I can\u2019t make money.<\/i>
\nThis one has been so thoroughly disproven that it\u2019s not so popular anymore. Money is not the root of all evil. Money is paper and coins. If you are bad and win the lotto you will remain bad (perhaps become worse). If you are good and win the lotto you will remain good (perhaps become more generous). You will not switch sides.
\nEven if I could make money, I wouldn\u2019t pursue it because I would become selfish and greedy in the process.<\/i>
\nIt is not a requirement to engage in selfish and greedy action in order to obtain money. You can just help lots of people for a small fee. If your values change in the process of making money, it will not be due to the coins, but due to your own weak personality.
\nThere are more important things in life than money<\/i>.
\nYes there are. Some of them are obtained with money (books, travel, seminars and all kinds of objects); some of them are sustained through money (your house, your car, your trainer, your charity, etc.).
\nAnd for some of them, the lack of money leads to destruction (many relationships crumble in poverty, your self-esteem and confidence crumbles if you can\u2019t provide yourself and your loved ones with the most basic needs).
\nBecoming wealthy takes too much work. I want to enjoy my life, not work all day.<\/i>
\nLike it or not, that is your future (and perhaps present). We all have to contribute to society in order to live in it. Most of our time is spent working. You can work for a little or you can work for a lot, but you will work!
\nA job will ensure a relatively static paycheck. For that money you will have to put in roughly the same amount of work, every month, until you retire.
\nIf you build a business you will have to work much more for a lot less in the beginning; but after you set things in motion you will end up earning a lot of money for little to no work. If you play your cards right, you will also be able to retire ahead of schedule.
\nBecoming wealthy doesn\u2019t require more work, but more focused thought.
\nRegardless of your choice make sure you enjoy your work. Make it your biggest hobby because, whether you like it or not, that\u2019s where a huge chunk of your time and energy will go. Some people continue to work long after they\u2019ve stopped needing the money because they simply enjoy it.
\nI don\u2019t need money.<\/i>
\nYes you do! Unless you\u2019re OK with being homeless (no judgement if you are), you need a roof over your head, you need food, you need clothes, you need cash! Stop kidding yourself.
\nLet\u2019s say you have the above. Does it mean that you don\u2019t need any extra money? Theoretically no, but how do you obtain said money? Do you sit on a couch watching TV and money comes flying through the window on a purple monkey (with wings)? Aren\u2019t you working your ass off for that money? You may not need money to buy more stuff, but I bet you need it to buy more time. You need time for your family, for your hobbies, for what you love. Unless you\u2019re one of the few who actually enjoy their jobs, you might want to work on leaning up your schedule.
\nBut what if I love my job and I have all the money I need?<\/i>
\nThen do whatever you want.
\nPersonally, I seek abundance. I want to experience all that life has to offer. I love my life at this moment, but I am also aware of all the greatness there is for me to uncover. My motives are not greed, but a desire to grow and a love for new experiences.
\nAll people are different. Choose what is best for you.
\nI must stick to my job; I have a family to support.<\/i>
\nIt is because you have a family that you must aim to produce more than just a measly salary. You may not need any more money, but they probably do. How do you feel when your child asks you for something and you have to tell them you don\u2019t have any more money? I\u2019m not talking about spoiling them, what I\u2019m saying is providing them with the best there is. I\u2019m not a parent myself, but I bet you all want your children to be taught by the best teachers, to go to the best University, to eat the healthiest food (which is absurdly expensive nowadays). There are many spoiled rich kids out there, but when the parents do their jobs it\u2019s another story. Some of the most exceptional children I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure to instruct came from well off families.
\nStarting a business is too risky, jobs are safer.<\/i>
\nHow many times have you gotten fired until now? I can assure you nobody is going to fire you from your own business.
\nIf you are working for somebody else, that person can get rid of you. It doesn\u2019t have to be due to some mistake you\u2019ve made, it can just be that he doesn\u2019t like your face anymore. If you work for a company, that company can go bankrupt or cut off its staff due to whatever reasons.
\nStarting a business means you can fail, but it also means that nobody can fire you. The chances of failing (presuming you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing) are pretty high. Then again, the chances of losing your job due to unforeseen events are pretty high too. It\u2019s simply a matter of being at the mercy of the company vs. being at the mercy of your abilities.
\nRemember that you can improve your ability to run a successful company, but you can\u2019t improve your ability to not get fired (it is not your decision to make). Most workers are replaceable.
\nAnd those who can\u2019t be replaced are so good at what they do they\u2019re virtually running the place. They\u2019re so valuable that they can choose who they work for and for how much money (because everybody is desperate to have them on their staff). They don\u2019t worry about being fired on a whim or a downsizing or bankruptcy because they can always find employment elsewhere. Even though they technically work for others, they are their own boss.
\nThese are some of the excuses I\u2019ve heard of over the years. There is so much controversy on this topic; yet there is one question that still remains: What is money?
\nIt is paper and coins, but that\u2019s not what I\u2019m talking about. What does money represent?
\nWe\u2019ve already established that it\u2019s not the root of all evil, so what is it?
\nSome people say that money is power. I disagree. There are plenty examples of rich people who are powerless. Some are drug addicts, some can\u2019t control themselves, some are antisocial, some are lonely, some try to use money to influence others and fail miserably. If you associate money with power, you will end up destroyed by your own weakness. You can use cash to buy a sword, but you can\u2019t use paper and coins to cut someone in half. Money is not power, it just buys stuff.
\nMoney is the tool we use to procure other tools, making it the \u201cultimate tool\u201d. Money represents speed. If your goal is to travel, the more cash you have, the faster and further you can travel. If your goal is family, the more cash you have, the more comfortable your home will be, the more time you will afford to spend with your family instead of working. If your goal is to be a professional football player, cash will buy you the best trainer accelerating your growth.
\nMoney makes reaching your goals easier, faster and more efficient. That is why we need it. The more goals you have, the more paper you need. The bigger your goals, the bigger your coin purse must be.
\nSince we all have to obtain money why restrict ourselves to a certain amount? A business is a system which produces money. A good system will produce cash flow even in your absence and in increasingly larger quantities as time goes by. The more your business grows the more money it makes. Whether you\u2019re an entrepreneur, an architect, a teacher or a nanny, the better you become at your craft the more money you should be able to obtain.\u00a0 It\u2019s merely a matter of better helping more people than you did yesterday. \u00a0And that is a form of growth.
