What prevents us from being rich and making more money? Poor people. Installations that prevent you from earning more

Today I would like to say about making money... Many people ask each other: where and how to make money? Some ask, others readily answer. There are even people who have made such lectures their specialty. They professionally make money by telling people how to make money.

A very interesting business ... In fact, there are wonderful coaches among them, such as Robet Kiyosaki, for example. They give great advice. And it's a sin not to follow their advice. But when people listen to such great business coaches, I get the feeling that they are sitting like in a movie. Came to see a movie. An interesting and useful film. They like it. But they passively perceive... They sit, and something pours into their ears. Here the lecturer speaks, here his assistant gives him a marker, here he drew something on the board. If the assistant is pretty, then in general there is something to see.

Learned - apply!

The majority does not get to the bottom of the matter. There is one well-known expert in the field of info-business on the Internet. He conducted his seminars online in a conference format. Gave homework. He taught. Then he stopped doing it. In an interview, he explained: I don't understand why this is necessary if people pay money to attend the seminar, and then they do not learn any knowledge, do not do their homework, do not start their own business? Don't even try!

People subscribe to numerous newsletters with useful information, people buy informational products (e-books, video courses, etc.). And often they don't even insert the purchased disc into the computer. Do not unpack the ZIP archive with the e-book. Or, opening, run their eyes obliquely. And they postpone it for tomorrow: they say, tomorrow I will start a new life, but today it is better to relax with your favorite solitaire or some other game.

The same thing will happen tomorrow. That's just terrible. Vicious circle. Where is the activity, where is the willpower ?! What kind of business can you build like that ?!

What prevents you from starting to make money ?!

Let's be honest.

• At first laziness.
• Secondly - fear of selling something.

Do you know what “laziness” is in this case? This is not enough motivation. There is no real need to make money. At least some money! One witty but very angry man once joked:

Why is business doing better in America than in Russia?
Answer: because an American is sitting and thinking: how can I make 50 dollars? And our man sits and thinks: what would have happened if in 1905 Russia had gone the other way?

I repeat once again that this is a cruel joke. I don't like her at all.

Note, however, that in this joke one sets himself a specific and achievable goal. (earn $ 50). And the other poses an abstract question incomprehensibly to whom. What do you think is more important to be able to play?

For a philosopher, it seems more important to be able to pose an abstract question. And for a business person - a specific goal.

And what could be more specific than fifty dollars? Only one hundred dollars!

I want money, but I don’t want to trade

As you remember, I said: the second obstacle to making money is unwillingness to sell anything.

Why? Because money comes to a person in exchange for goods. This is the law of economics. And most people only think about money. How to attract money, how to save money, how to make money out of thin air, and so on.

It seems to be a simple truth: money is given in exchange for something. But when a person starts dreaming of big money, he imagines anything: a fat wallet, gold bars, an expensive mansion, a villa, a yacht, a car, an office of his company, a platinum credit card ... But you never know! Every dreamer - to the best of his imagination.

And it does not occur to me that this imaginary money will remain a fantasy. If you do not think about the case. If there is a case, money will come. Business is the sale of a product. The product can be different: a bunch of radishes (if you trade in the market) or a CD of your new album if you are a popular artist.

If these things are good and you promote them well, then a lot of people will pay money for them. They will pay you money.

It's obvious, you say. Yes, obviously. But for some reason, this simple truth turns off when a person begins to dream of big money.

The paradox: when you give money, you give it quite specifically, for something specific. For example, for a carton of milk in a store. But when you get money in your dreams, you get it abstractly. Not in payment for the goods. Because you have no product. Therefore, in life you do not receive money. Only the salary.

We are also shy

Yes, many are embarrassed to sell. It's just awkward. Better to give it that way. Selling "somehow ugly." Inconvenient. I remember my grandfather, who used to say in such cases: “it is inconvenient to put trousers over your head”. Rough, I agree. But to the point.

This “monetary shyness” is our legacy of the Soviet era. Even if you were not yet in the world in the 80s of the last century, then your parents were already. And they lived according to the rules of a society in which there was no private property. And they were imprisoned for private entrepreneurship. And a person who bought something cheaper and sold it at a higher price was called a speculator. And deserved universal censure.

Since then, these oddities have been going on. When, for example, instead of advertising: "A demi-season women's coat is on sale (the price is such and such)", the lady calls her friend and offers to give this very coat for free, which she herself no longer needs. Like, maybe it will suit my daughter, I need to try it on ... It seems to be a good friendly gesture. But in fact, she would not have refused the money. Just afraid of something. Afraid to say: I'm selling!

There are, of course, such “sharks of capitalism” who are ready to trade anything, even if they find a buyer on a desert island. But many, especially intelligent people are afraid to sell.

But keep in mind:

The one who avoids selling is avoiding money.

"Are you checkered or should you go?"

So, we got to the truth that making money means selling something. Selling is profitable. For money.

And here is another paradox. The topic of making money on the Internet is very popular. How To Make Money Online? People ask this question with manic tenacity.

Weird. I would like to ask: why on the Internet, my friends? You need money? Or - just money earned on the Internet, and no others.

I understand that the Internet is a great tool to make money offline, regardless of regular work, bosses, etc. Yes it is. But do not forget that the Internet is only a tool, not an end in itself.

Use the Internet, its endless possibilities. But remember, the main thing is to make money in life. And with or without the use of the Internet is a matter of technology.

How many of those who complain about low income, lying on the couch or, conversely, sitting in an expensive cafe. And the places seem to be different, but the problem is the same. And the salaries are different, but the essence is the same. And the needs are not similar, but the money is equally lacking.

So let's look at a small list in which you will certainly find your own, probably rethink and, finally, you will have as many paper as you need. Although, they say, there are never many of them.

1. You don't believe you can have more money

You often watch programs and read about successful people who make big money. And you think that you will never achieve this. That it happened to them by accident or inherited from their parents. Someone wrote a book, and it sold out in huge numbers. Another won the lottery. The third released a hit. The fourth was born into a wealthy family. Etc. But do not think about the fact that, for example, many stars were starving and singing in seedy cafes. Writers filmed four square meters and constantly received refusals from publishers. In general, the path to money is always winding and originates from poverty. Therefore, it is never too late to start it. The main thing is to believe that you are worthy of money and not be intimidated by it, immediately spending on everything that you were deprived of. Do not push away the idea that you can do the same as well-to-do people. After all, you have everything for this. You have you.

2. Afraid to start small

Perhaps you do not have an impressive amount to take and organize an expensive business. But it is quite possible to take out a loan, and it is better to put it off for the future and buy a successful, but low-budget franchise. Or duplicate it without spending money on instructions from managers that you do not need. Find your own design solutions, suppliers, inexpensive alternatives and save money at the start. And then develop with the arrival of income. It is important that your "child" looks initially presentable. Everyone doesn't need to know how much you invested in it and what you borrowed from the sale.

3. Spend money on your whims

A large percentage of those who complain about a small amount of money do not keep track of their finances. And if you dig into them, you can clearly see how they flow away to all sorts of nonsense. We replace going to a restaurant for friendly gatherings at home (preferably not at home) or a trip to nature with our own products. And we are surprised at the amount saved. We remove alcohol from life. We take a container with food to work and do not run to a nearby establishment for lunch, We deprive ourselves of a pair of shoes for one exit. Etc. We are looking at the result, but there has been a lot of money!

4. Make Time for Wrong Actions

We are sure that if you have time to complain, it is completely wasted. Do you want money? Stop resting then. They do not stick under the lying stone. You should not prepare mentally for the fact that you will be left without a wonderful evening with friends or will not go on vacation. Just do things, and they will plunge you into themselves. We ate, slept and to work. And you will rejoice at what you have achieved, sipping grape juice, when your income suits you.

5. Do not invest, do not open new projects and ways of making money

The lightest example. You are an electrician. Naturally, they pay little. But what prevents you from kalym additionally, installing wiring and repairing sockets? A cook? It's time to bake custom-made cakes! In general, the train of thought is clear. And if you have your own business, then remember about competition and constant market instability. It is necessary to innovate, learn and follow the needs of the clientele through surveys and analysis. It also happens that the field of activity completely falls out of needs. In this case, you should not stay afloat, but you should buy another ship. That is, study new income-generating positions and choose the one that suits you.

Our main advice is not to envy successful people, but follow their example and get off the couch. Good luck and material benefits to you!

The following factors most often prevent people from making money. Although in reality there are many more.

Lack of self-confidence. Even if no one else believes in you, you should. Then you will calmly accept other people's criticism, stop wasting time on doubts, and you will find the necessary solutions faster and easier. And you will begin to perceive problems as a challenge, and not as a reason for despondency. And be prepared for the fact that the more successful you become, the more criticism you will have to reflect.

Analytical bias and fear of action. Try to reduce the time spent on doubts and reflections and take more action. The more a person thinks about a problem or task, the more difficulties and obstacles he sees on the way, including fictional ones. This is how you waste your time. Conversely, the sooner you begin to put your plans into practice, the sooner you find solutions to related problems and the more soberly you see the situation. You are more likely to be successful with one of several started projects than one single one. Start as many projects as possible. In the process, you will find out if they have a chance of success, but be prepared to calmly accept failure. This does not mean that you need to act recklessly and constantly take risks.

Trampling in one place. There is an opinion that a person either develops or degrades. In a rapidly changing world of immense competition, a successful person should strive to be at the forefront. And this means constantly striving to improve in your field. The more professional knowledge and skills you have, the more you can give to clients and the more you will earn. However, knowledge alone is not enough, try to constantly apply new information in practice.

People who don't do their own thing rarely succeed. And this is understandable. Your favorite hobby gives rise to enthusiasm and interest, the brain involuntarily begins to generate new ideas, you even want to spend your free time on it. And the more time and effort invested in something, the more return. With an unloved business, the result is the opposite. Therefore, it is worth taking the time to understand what really brings you joy and try to move in that direction.

The opinion of oneself as a person unworthy of the material. Many people are subconsciously afraid to have more money, but not everyone is aware of this. It can be feelings of guilt, thinking about money as something bad, low self-esteem from childhood, or poverty among children of poor parents. Until a person internally accepts the amount that he would like to have, he will not be able to earn it, or will quickly lose it. He will give up opportunities and avoid good situations. Psychological work on yourself is very important, which will develop in you a calm and friendly attitude towards money and at the same time reduce its excessive importance in your eyes. That which has too many emotions is difficult to obtain.

The habit of being a loner. Try to expand and develop your connections with other people. They are especially important in business. Successful people always have a lot of useful contacts. You cannot know exactly when your acquaintances can bring you benefits and financial benefits. And the better your reputation as a reliable and positive person, the easier it will be for you to make new connections.

Hello, friends! Today, continuing the topic "", we will talk about what prevents us from earning more money, which gives us independence, more freedom, security and the opportunity to do what we want.

Let's be realistic. Not everyone, due to different life circumstances, beliefs, lack of qualifications, ideas and time, manages to do this. Often we do not see the opportunities that circumstances and life itself throw at us, and we pass by once again. We do not know how to act quickly and hesitate to make a decision, missing out on our benefits. We do not set big ambitious goals and get reality and the life that meets our low expectations.

We also don't know how to think correctly about wealth and money. Thought is material and determines our actions, which in turn are transformed into success (or vice versa). Tomorrow, what we thought today may happen to us.

However, these statements are not indisputable. Do thoughts actually materialize? Probably no one knows the exact answer. Although most scientists are materialists, they are convinced that this is impossible. And, nevertheless, many believe in this (and give evidence), and some even learn all kinds of techniques for fulfilling desires.

In a word, to believe or not to believe is a purely individual matter. But it is difficult to disagree with one thing - thoughts exist, although we do not fully realize the degree of their impact on a person. And, if you believe that they still materialize, then the thought that you definitely do not have enough intelligence, energy and abilities to start your own business, that you absolutely do not deserve anything good and you do not have the strength to do something change in your life, become your reality.

If you think you can, or think you cannot, you are right anyway.

Henry Ford

In our head we ourselves create barriers and obstacles on the way to wealth, we are mistaken and blindly believe in unverified hypotheses and "authoritative" opinions, we are deceived for years, we limit our possibilities and convince ourselves that we are good in only one business and will never achieve success elsewhere.

"Poverty and wealth are not economic categories, but psychological ones."- said the renowned expert on the achievement of wealth and success, Randy Gage. In fact, in the minds of many of us, attitudes from the Pioneer-Komsomol times are firmly stuck, each time raising an insurmountable barrier when trying to revise the value system.

And not only this. Money has always influenced the fate of a person, and for many centuries many stereotypes of monetary thinking, mythical fears associated with the "golden calf", which were passed down from generation to generation, were overgrown with superstitions, prejudices and other fables, were deposited in his mind. Money was deified, endowed with magical properties and at the same time they were fiercely hated.

This is natural and dangerous. Because negative beliefs and ideas about money block the attraction of cash flows and do not contribute to success. The absence or presence of financial problems in a person depends on the feelings and emotions that he experiences in relation to money.

Problems will not arise if money brings a person a sense of freedom, joy, independence, prosperity, confidence in the future. And, on the contrary, they will certainly appear if money annoys, causes a feeling of shame, disappointment and fear.

It is impossible to raise the financial bar without removing these psychological obstacles within oneself, which stand as a wall to protect the inner “demon of poverty”.

Poverty is not a vice, but a condition that must be eliminated. It's hard to forget the school of life. And getting rid of the habits of poverty and completely eradicating the thinking of the poor man, even if you have not been one for a long time, is even more difficult.

Sometimes they accompany a person all his life, shape his thinking and very much interfere with becoming a successful and self-confident person. To change this mindset, you need to change your habits and develop a strong immunity against the "infection of poverty."

Negative thoughts

Some of us live with a negative monetary attitude that “money is not so easy to give, you need to earn it with sweat and blood, spin like a squirrel in a wheel”. And the result of such thinking is mere pennies for hard everyday work.

And why? Because out of two equally working people, wealth will come to someone who not only works a lot, but also thinks correctly. First you need to learn to think like a rich man and imagine at least in your head the path that can lead to prosperity.

People with positive thinking, thinking through their actions, make money easier, more and often doing what they like. If you do everything, as they say, “through the stump-deck,” with disbelief in yourself and bad thoughts, the result will be appropriate.

It's a shame to be rich

Psychologists say that the hardest part is admitting that you have the right to be rich. Such thoughts as "money is evil", "money is dirt", "it is a shame to be rich", "money cannot be earned in an honest way" does not contribute to this in the least. By sending such information to the Universe, we are, as it were, pushing away from ourselves the possibility of having money, showing them our disdainful attitude.

And a person who believes in the truth and correctness of such statements, in fact, believes that he is above money, treats them passively and does not even seek to earn them. And, at the same time, next to those who never get out of debt, there are completely ordinary people to whom money is attracted like a magnet.

Why? Probably, it's all about the psychological state and way of thinking. Everything can change if once we understand and accept for ourselves that we all have the right to live well and be rich, and money is, in fact, neither good nor bad. It is just a means to live with dignity, achieve goals, solve problems.

And, of course, despite the importance of their presence in our life, you should not strive to earn money for the sake of money.

Money scenario

We enter adulthood with a certain set of life priorities, including the skills of spending and receiving money (money scenario), formed under the influence of family, parents, environment, ideology. As a rule, solving financial problems is headed by getting an education and a permanent job (most often one) with a stable salary (often small).

We firmly believe that "you can't jump over your head." So is it worth trying? The poor man's philosophy is that he is firmly convinced that no matter what he undertakes and whatever he does, all his efforts will be useless, in vain and doomed to failure, he will never achieve anything. And if you believe it, then it will be so.

Not everyone succeeds in breaking out of this programmed course of life. Probably because living according to the monetary scenario is convenient and familiar, safe (no risk) and, to a certain extent, comfortable. There is no particular need to change something drastically.

Going beyond this scenario, changing it is, first of all, changing oneself, one's thinking, one's attitudes and getting rid of the financial constraint that is in the head. Realizing this and learning to think differently, you will understand that you can live differently and earn more.

If you want to have what you never had, start doing what you have never done.

Envy is a destructive feeling that eats a person from the inside, takes away the joy of life, lowers self-esteem, develops an inferiority complex and does not contribute to success. If you cannot do something and money "does not like" you, do not try to blame someone and look for the reason in others - most likely, only you yourself are to blame.

Only by believing in yourself and good luck, taking responsibility for your results and changing reality, you can achieve success. You should not, as a shield, close yourself off from prosperity and wealth by such negative attitudes as envy, passivity, limitedness, lack of initiative, and allow the habits of poverty to corrode your consciousness like rust.

Big money is the result of luck

Many are convinced that only lucky ones can become the owners of untold riches and big money, to whom fate (it is not clear for what reason) gave an expensive gift, for example, in the form of a huge inheritance, a decent amount won in a lottery, rich parents, etc.

Anyone familiar with the life stories of rich people probably knows that many millionaires started from almost nothing. So is it worth waiting all your life for a miracle, which, most likely, will never happen? It is wiser to make any efforts yourself, to believe in yourself and your luck. More chances that everything will work out.

Money can only be earned by the young

Many people think so. And, barely stepping over the fourth dozen, they bury all their dreams and plans to put together at least some more or less decent fortune.

This negative monetary attitude and existing stereotypes can be easily destroyed if, again, we turn to the stories of the lives of the rich and famous. Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, Abraham Lincoln, who succeeded at a very mature age, are often cited as examples.

You can become a rich person at any age.

Living in a comfort zone is easy and simple

It is difficult to pull yourself out of your familiar, comfortable and safe environment. And, to be honest, sometimes you don't really want to. It is much safer to live, not sticking out anywhere and not showing up in any way, "like everyone else." Many are convinced that big money brings big problems. So is it worth the risk to somehow change and improve your life? After all, nothing may come of it.

Yes, in fact, money requires you to be active, smart, and take risks. There may even be some problems. But, you must admit, in many cases it is money that helps to solve problems and feel more confident and easy. And a poor person, whose life is much worse, and whose problems are no less, does not have such a tool to solve them.

How much money is happiness?

“Money is not happiness” - how often do we repeat this phrase in moments of disappointment and loss, in fact, having neither happiness nor money. At the same time, ashamed to admit to ourselves that we do not know how, do not want or are not able to earn them.

Of course, money is not all happiness. But it is an essential and integral part. Without them, happiness cannot be complete. And for sure, money can in no way prevent a person from being happy. On the contrary, they enhance this feeling, make it more fulfilling and vivid, open up new opportunities and make an already happy person even happier. And lack of money, restrictions and deprivation have never contributed to happiness.

Whom does money "love"?

Money is easily given into the hands of persistent, stubborn, purposeful, confident, attentive to little things, not greedy, creative, seeking and doubting people who do not seek to make money for the sake of money. In addition, it is important to remember: to make millions, you need to work very hard, passionately love your job and, at least, not consider money as evil.

And yet, in order to become rich and successful, you need to learn from millionaires: to think as they think, to act as they do. After all, they, too, were not always rich and, perhaps, not in the least smarter than you. They just were not afraid to make mistakes, did not give up what they had begun when something went wrong, but repeated their attempts over and over again until they found their ingenious solution.

See you! Until then ...
