2. Money Can Wreck Every Area Of Your Life
Used incorrectly, money can wreck every area of your life.
- You can become so focused on making money that you neglect your relationships.
- You can squander your money and cause more stress in your life.
- You can make money your number one purpose in life, forgoing all the things that truly matter.
- You can let money dictate how you treat other people.
An unhealthy relationship with money can wreck every area of your life if you let it.
If you have a gambling problem, a compulsive spending problem, a compulsive need to make more money, or spend your money on things that don’t matter, getting a hold of those issues can benefit your life greatly.
3. Money Is A Tool That Can Take You Anywhere You Want To Go
“Money is a great servant but a bad master.” – Francis Bacon
If you are in charge of your money, it can be a great tool that gets you to where you want to go.
But you have to be in charge of it. You can’t let it be in charge of you.
For example, with a lot of money, you can gamble a lot. This can lead you down a path of misery and struggle rather than take you to where you want to go.
You have to take charge of your money and use it to help you do what you want to do.
4. Money Does Not Equal Wealth
Money is a form of currency.
Wealth is having an abundance of that currency and other things. In fact, you may not have a lot of money in your bank, but if you have land, homes, or investments, you have wealth. Of course, having a lot of money in the bank makes you feel wealthier.
5. If You Can Create Value For Other People, You Can Make Money
All you need to do to make money is to create value for other people.
Constantly ask yourself how you can create value for other people and work on building ways you can do it.
If you do, and you charge for a lot of that value, your path to money is guaranteed.
You can give away things for free. You can write and create content for free as we do on this website. You can give away tools to help people. But you should charge for the big things that create value in other people’s lives.
Do not be scared to charge for the products, courses, and big tools that create value in other people’s lives. That’s what every human making money right now does. They create some sort of value for other people and get paid for it.
