Hi everyone .This picks up where I left off about personal growth. You can't achieve true success in life until you discover who you are. Once I made this discovery I started to grow with knowledge. After facing all of my personal struggles with happiness, women, and just life in general I learned one truth. That is business is what drives humanity. As I said before business creates opportunities, relationships, builds economic growth and much more. Business is the center of everything that we do. It is the foundation of our lives. Now I know what your thinking love and happiness are the foundations and that is true, but business drives commerce, provides economic stabilty which in turn provides jobs and a means of making a living. Making a living provides income to provide happiness( going on vacation, living in a nice enviroment etc).Inside business we find the money making factor. Through all of my searches for how people achieve wealth and countless money making opportunities I have found one thing. It's so simple. Money just needs to do one thing "multiply". If you have let's just say for example a toy and it's worth a dollar if you are able to get 100 people to buy it then you make a 100 dollars.If you get 1000 people to buy it then you make a 1000 dollars and so forth. Now here is the catch. This is the basic structure of any business. You have to make a profit. Let's say that you have the same toy and you want to multiply it.First your going to have to manufacture it,another words your going to have to pay for it first and turn it around and sell it for a higher price to get a return on your investment and make a profit. Now I know what your saying this is a problem that we all face.How do I get a product and make money from it.First of all we go back to what I started saying in the beginnning.You have to control your expenses in order to profit.What about if you eliminated all of the expense.That would equall total profit.Now lets look at how to do just that. Let's take minute and clear your mind.Think about something that people need. Think about something that people like or want. Think about what you need or want. Another words think about things that make people happy. People will pay just about any price for anything that makes them happy or anything that they really need. If you have hardly any money in the bank and all that is left is supposed to go to your bills and you see that game that you've been wanting in a store. Now your thinking to yourself " man I don't really have the money,but I do have a credit card." You will make a decision to buy it based on that thought of playing later on that night with your friends. You'll say"I'll just charge it and pay for it later." You make that decision to buy based on happiness. Now lets look back to eliminating all expenses. People not only pay for materialistic things,but they pay for imformation. If you subscribe to a magazine or a newsletter then you are paying for imformation. If you have a site online and your providing imformation then you are providing a service. I'm going to stop right here and I want you to think about what I just said. Now start letting your creativity flow. Think about what we talked about. I want to put this thought into your mind. The key to making money is an empowerment within. Your success depends on you and your motivation. You have to set goals in life.Now I know that you've probably heard this before, but it's true. No business succeeds without a goal. A goal is a way of looking into the future. You have to have a point. You have to have a destination. Then you have to have a plan( no business, personal finances, ideas ,corporations succeed without a plan.) Believe me I 've watched it work for me then not work and then work for me again. Once you have a goal your plan are the steps to get you there. Here is an example. You constantly have a negative bank account. Your debt to income ratio is really low. You keep on paying your bills as normal, but you still keep on gonig negative. What's wrong are you shooting from the hip or are you planning three months ahead. You are probably shooting from the hip. Once you take a change of pace and start writing down everything that you pay then you start to see a picture unfolding in front of you. Now you work the numbers and take your negative and turn it into a positive. It's just like a math problem. You can't solve it until you break its components down. I want to give a perspective of the process of setting a goal and working to achieve that goal. If your goal is to be an actor then you will put everything in place to achieve it( acting lessons, training classes, literature,etc) See it on the horizon and work everything in your favor to get you there. The key to making money or being successful is to envision your future and the happiness that you envision will drive you to that ultimate goal. Now that we have broken down the concepts let us start the process of achieving success.
