What Do You Want More A Business Or Money

9 replies
The title pretty much says it all. Do you want a business or do you want money.

If you are not looking into im as a business. Then let me ask you this. If you had to go back and work for someone else again which would you choose a job or a career.

Well I bet I can answer that one for you. I am willing to bet every single person said they would rather have a career then a job. There for why would you rather just have money then a business.

First off in order to make money you have to have one of 3 things. You either have to have a job so that you can just barely squeeze by with all your bills. Now if you wanted to do better then just squeeze by you would need a career. You could do ok for your life with just a career but bottom line is it still just pays the bills and give you a little bit more fun money.

Now if you realy want to get ahead you would choose a business. With a business you are the one that limits your own profits. You are the only one who can say you cant work that day. You are the only one who can lay you off.

With a business you have a chance to expand where as working at a job or a career you could be stuck at the same pay rate for years. It may be slow starting for many but if you just stick with one thing at a time you could grow your business to hieghts never before seen.

Set your goals from the start. It will only help you stay focused. With your goals set make sure that they are with in reason. DO NOT set too high of a goal you know you can not reach just starting out. Start off small and work your way up. This way when you do not reach your goal in your time frame you are not completely bummed out and choose to stop working at it.

If it is just money you want then simply pick a few items in your house and sell them on ebay. Its just money and yes you do loose a few items but you will never get upset because you didn't make any money.

The bottom line of this post is quit saying you just want money. Instead start saying you want to build your business so that you can make more money. Your business it self is money for when you are tired of working on it because its not producing you enough money. You can always head over to one of the site flipping sites like flippa and sell it but why start over.

Continue t work hard and the money will find you. If I helped you in any way please be sure to hit the thanks button below.

    Well, it depends on how much money you want.
    You dont need money to start a business for the most part. There are many free resources to help get you started. First you can start a wordpress blog or blogger blog FREEE. Simply add a few pages then start promoting them with article blasts. Use the weight of both blogger and wordpress to help give you the extra push.

    If you can write 3 500 word articles aday you could be getting anywhere from 10-100 visitors to your free blogger blog in no time. All of which are seeing your main offer.

      I've got to a point in my ventures where I think I can look a little beyond money to find something more, such as cause, and direction. If cause and direction lead me into a profitable business or a business that can sustain itself, then so be it.

    The definition of a business I work with is an endeavor that earns me money while I do something else altogether. Owning real estate, for example, is then a business.

    In terms of the internet - that's what I totally love. For a very low start up cost you can create a business that will pay you while you sleep. Yes, you have to work at it, but it's totally possible to do.

    In the past you would have had to have had a lot more money to get started. The internet has changed that.

      Low start cost is an understatement really for you can get started with zero in your pocket. The only difference is you will have to work twice as hard and start over again once you have the money to do so. Unless you are using the redirect method to help drawl visitors to yor free blogger blog.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

    Have I said it enough???

    People wonder why they fail. Then I ask them, you know, "How is your business set up..." and they are like "I just want some money"

    Next response: "Go get a job!"

    A business doesn't have to be 60 hours a week - it can be almost hobby like in nature. But the key difference is, you have a CHOICE of how much you work. And if structured to run properly, the business can run on autopilot, for the most part.

    Thanks Pete, I'm glad someone else is saying it.

      You very welcome rob.

      I have to admit though when I first got into this whole thing. I had that same mindset. But quickly began to realize the true potential of what this was all about. All while finding different ways I can increase my profit. If you look deep into it we are no different then ceos of large corperations. We are force to make chooses on adding new lines of business or stick with old ones. The bottom line is though it is a business and should be treated as one.
