Lessons Of Money, No Object

What would you do if money was no object?

This question though simple is something we need to ask ourselves when planning our lives for the future. Not because we are planning to have all the money in the world, but because most of us are resticted by the amount of money we have. We will always tell our kids, or wife, that we can't afford that, which really isn't a problem. 
But just make sure that money is not controling your life.

Money is a very powerful tool I say that because it is a tool
When you are asked this question (
(What would you do if money was no object?)

....what is the first thing that comes to mind
            -Would you still budget your money
            -Would you need to
            -Would you do the same things that you do now both work, personal, Spirtual, Phyisicaly, Every aspect of your life.
I think what it comes down too is this: If I gave you a 100,000$ Loan with no intrest no payments for 10 years, But at the end of 10 years you had to give the entire amount back
            -Could you do it
            -Would you take the loan
            -Would it help or hurt you
            -How would it effect your finances

Key To Money Making, Use A Mop

Scrub Brush instead of a Mop

Sitting at dinner one evening, we were dicussing about the phrase easy money. Someone had told me that week (while speaking generally) that I was always after easy money. We were thinking that obtaining money is just like any other job that you might do, lets take cleaning a floor for instance.
Why would you use a scrub brush to clean the floor instead of a mop. I mean the scrub brush would probably get it cleaner then the mop. But lets say your boss didn't care which one you used and he told you to clean the floor and pointed to the scrub brush.
Now if you had never heard a mop you migh grab the scrub brush and go to work. Other wise when he pointed to the scrub brush, you would then ask him do you have a mop, It might be faster, and easier.
Same with making money. You can work for it, (and there is harder and easier things to do) or you can invest the money that you get to make more money. Which ever you prefer, but if you've never heard of investing, or you don't know what, or how to invest you might continue to work all your life. All I'm suggessting is that you learn the other way to do it.
If I could show you a way to consistently double your money once a week. Would you do that or continue to try to find a job. I'm not saying that a job isn't neccessary I'm only saying that after you have used the scrub brush for a year or two in your business, you might have enough money to buy a mop.
Do what you want to become.

Before You Quit Your Job

Now let me just stop and say that there is nothing wrong with a job, every one should have something to do. And at some point in time I think that everyone should work, and earn there money.
But if you take that money which is valuable only because you spent your precious time to acquire it and you spend it on something meaningless, (and you know what you would buy, or what you want,) then you have sacrificed your time to purchase that item.
The only thing that makes money so valuable is that we sacrifice our time to get it. Someone that does nothing to get there money usually squanders it on something.
I say work for it, and then Invest it. don't sacrifice your time or your husband or wife's time for money then squander it.
People say in passing "Yea I'm killing time" I heard some one tell me that "I'm not killing time, Time is killing me".
Now they meant it has a joke and laughed, but I say that that statement is more true then you might think. Every hour you trade for money is one hour, that time is killing you. Keeping you from your family, and the things that are important in life.
Now maybe you say well there is no getting out of that I have to work a job I have to trade my time for money there's no other way. REALLY, do you want to stick with that.
Most people put our money in a savings account, or under there mattress, in a safe, trying to protect it, take care of it make it last as long as possible. (we don't want to lose it) And then will work themselves to death, trying to make more money.
People work humans to death and care and pamper there money. I see this as totally backwards. Use should work your money to death and care, and pamper yourself and your family.

Lesson Money 101, Coming From Nothing

Can money truly come from something besides your hard work. How about from something besides trading hours, for dollars.
Truly we live in a small world, or should I say a small box.
Today I heard a story off the show Master Minds. A young man a geologist that couldn't get a job as a CEO like he wanted. Went to another country, and raised the money he needed, bought a piece of land, and proceeded to build a multi billion dollar company digging for gold. Your probably thinking well I can't do that, I know I'm telling a story be patient. The problem was that he didn't have any gold. There was no gold on the property. He was seeding the samples himself with gold that he had bought. Then he was telling everybody that he was about to strike it big.
Now! This story is not something that I would recommend you going and doing. But it does go to show you that if you put your mind to work, you can come up with some crazy idea's.

My whole point I want to make is that money is not something that you simple must trade your time for, hours for dollars. But money is only what we agree it is. Money is invisible, its a contract, paper money is not real money. I know your confused now, you thought it was real. Money is created from capital. And I want to give you capital, that capital is your idea's.

Lessons Money, Can Teach You

Lesson Money #1. Use Money, Not People
This term goes a long way in the business world, in every thing from running your employees into the ground, to laying off 100's of people. You need to know how to learn moneys' ways, what it likes where it goes, Etc....
But the term I want to talk about (Use Money, Not People) deals directly with the person, the individual, people in there every day life going to work, and coming home. In this lies lessons money can teach you. You need to think of money like your employee, and don't ever let it sit around and do nothing. Don't let it waste its energy! Study money like a project.
Money is Power, Money Has Power. That power will be used against you or in your favor. Most people choose to let money control them, never letting it out of there sight. But that's not how you learn money, you have to use it, you have to risk money's very existence.
This phrase (Use Money, Not People) comes to mind every time I hear some one say "well if I invest, I might lose my money". I often have wondered why people pamper, and care for their money, sometimes even more then there family. They will spend hours and hours of precious time at a job for little, or no money, and bring it home only to spend it on something that they don't need.
I will tell you every time; that this is the prime example of someone using people, not money. Why would you sacrifice time with your husband time with your wife, or kids. So you can buy you a big screen TV. I know in the back of your mind your saying, I wouldn't do that, But people do that around the U.S all day long. Sacrificing there most precious asset (time) for a dollar.
Your husband might say "Well I need the extra hours if we are going to go on vacation."
That is the kind of thinking I want to debunk in your mind. My hope is to teach you to use money, learn money, and make more money to purchase the things that you want. Instead of sacrificing your Husband or Wife to get those things.

Lessons Money, Won't Tell You

She stood up from the table, and walked over to the counter to pay. The young man from behind the counter greeted her, and took the receipt, and the money, from her hand.
As she payed for their meal she turned around to see her husband Joe, just standing up from the table. Their eyes met and he smiled.

It had been a long hard year for both Becky, and Joe.
Joe works long hours down at the factory in town, while Becky works as a clerk at a local food market. They never have really made much money, but between the two of them, their doing pretty good.

Joe! Becky says, as she turns away from the counter. Do you think that we will be able to find a new car for less then $4,000. I mean we got $6000 back on out taxes, but with the big screen TV that we bought we only have $4000 left over. Joe looks up, I don't know sweetheart, I am taking off work tomorrow and we can both go out an look for one. Great idea, You know! The food sure is good here. Becky replies. Joe turns his head, Yeah but its really expensive, if it wasn't for the left over money from the TV we wouldn't be able to afford to eat here. Becky smiling, baby we just got our taxes back, you need to learn to live a little, I mean you've worked hard all year, now its time to relax for a day, or so.
