Do You Make more Money If You Have a 'Nothing To Lose Attitude'?

Maybe. But it is not repeatable. And what many people need is a system that they can use to earn money over and over again.

Having the "nothing to lose" attitude on an emergency basis, which seems to be what you are describing here, is not a recipe for long term success.

Sometime I find that Philosophy To work for me pretty well

I personally feel that having EVERYTHING to lose is a far bigger motivator than having nothing to lose. I currently work full time at home because I was at the END (after going job to job, paycheck to paycheck and living on a ridiculously low income) My attitude was more like "If I don't figure out SOMETHING, I'm going lose everything I've got left. failure is NOT an option" Hope this helps

I agree. We never have "nothing to lose". Doing anything involves time, energy and/or money and not to mention the opportunity cost of everything else we can't do because we're doing the other thing.

I find things work best for me when I'm in a stable position and can think things through and focus on something and do it properly without the pressure of desperation. I've been desperate and it ain't pretty - I was literally like a drowning man clutching at straws and jumping from one thing to another trying to find something that'll make me the quick bucks I so desperately needed...not a great situation and certainly not one conducive to success. But that's just me - everyone's different. Some pressure and motivation is a good thing for me - desperation is not.

If your focus is on the business rather than the money, you are half way there already.
If you focus on Money and you don't generate income within short period of time (you generally don't) then, you start looking for the short cuts and your business will never have a chance to succeed.

An attitude of 'nothing to lose' can work very well if you are otherwise well-prepared in what you are endeavoring to do do.

Very often, when we are burdened with 'must win' thoughts, our body responds with feelings of stress and anxiety. Beyond a certain level, these are counter-productive and impair our performance.

This can often be seen on the golf course, and other sports, where well known players choke when they had a chance to win.

It can also be seen with students who become so stressed about impending exams that they perform well below what they are capable of. On the other hand, a student who is well prepared and adopts a more 'laid back' yet focused (on success, not the possibility of failure) approach on the day of the exam, is simply giving their body permission to shine and perform optimally without sabotaging their performance.

Prepare well and trust yourself - that you have it in you to get the job done!

Desperate people may reach a point where they stop beating themselves about the head and relax 'because they have nothing to lose'. This could well free them from the earlier pressure and allow them to now do better, which they were always capable of doing but had crippled their previous efforts with negative thinking.
