Nearly every problem in your life is a money problem in disguise. Don’t believe me? Think about it.
Say you’re out of shape. I know you’re not – you have eight visible abs and you can bench 250. I know. But for the sake of my argument, let’s say you are. Is this purely a health problem? Let’s look at your lifestyle.
Wake up at 6am.
On the train by 7am.
In the office from 8:30 – 5pm.
Home by 6pm.
Finished cooking and cleaning by 8pm.
Enough time and energy at that point to either fall asleep reading a book, or fall asleep watching TV.
Would you seriously live this way if you had enough money? Would you be on your company’s leash if there was some other way for you to get your two hundred dollars a day? You bet you wouldn’t.
Let’s say you’re looking for a romantic relationship. I know you’re happily married, but humor me for the sake of it. You’re looking for a relationship when your day looks like this.
Wake up at 6am.
On the train by 7am.
In the office from 8:30 – 5pm.
Home by 6pm.
Finished cooking and cleaning by 8pm.
Enough time and energy at that point to either fall asleep reading a book, or fall asleep watching TV.
Do you think meaningful romantic relationships can precipitate in an environment like this? But here, what on the outside looks like a time problem is more so a money problem. If you had more money, you could afford to spend time the way you want to.
I can do this all day. Your dog is unwell but you gotta go to work. Your parents need help with a project but you gotta go to work. Your best friend has invited you to their destination wedding in Bali but you gotta go to work. If any of these give you a shadow of anxiety, look at money.
Money, and your access to it, has knock-on effects for every other aspect of your life. Provided you have some basic self control and resource management, more money is more options for you. So why aren’t you trying to get rich? More money equals more control over what matters – your time.
When I realized this a few years ago, I began my side business journey. I grew my proficiency in flipping with the goal of financial freedom – a goal that’s getting nearer every day (we’ll tell that story later). I wrote a book for you If you have no idea where to start. My system is great because it doesn’t take anything to start.
I use free systems, free money, and other people’s poor decision making to bring in steady profits. All free. You know what? I happen to have written a book all about it. Click here and download it. There’s no reason you can start getting richer today.
