It Does NOT Take Money To Earn Money

For the past hour, I have dedicated my time to reading the perspectives of many of this forum's members, so that I may discover how I may be of benefit to this community.

First, allow me state how much I appreciate and respect the members of this forum for the simple fact that they are actively taking steps towards their vision.

I've read countless posts where members ask how they can make money with a tiny budget. First off, money is exchanged, it is not "made".

Second, money is a mindset. Wealthy individuals (that is determined by the individual and their belief of what wealth is) focus on what they can give in exchange for money, while "poor" individuals focus on what they can do to get money. However, this is a subject for another post.

The title of this post reads "It Does NOT Take Money To Earn Money", and I stand by this FACT 100%. A few weeks ago I was reading my daughter a biography of Steve Jobs, and his ability to communicate his vision in a way that inspired others to take action and share in his dream, was how he built Apple. There was a time early in his career where he leveraged all his money in an investment of computers, and was flat broke, but through his ability to communicate, he inspired a local tech shop to front him the money necessary to enhance these computers and sell them at a significant premium.

He did, and the rest is history. Money was not necessary. All he needed was the unique gifts he had.

Now I know some of you will scoff and point to the fact that he needed money originally to invest in the computers. And that is absolutely true. However, you are clearly missing the point, because you are choosing to.

The point is, leverage your unique skills to create your vision. It is truly that simple. As long as your focus in on receiving, you will always be telling yourself "I am lacking, which is why I need this."

When you focus on giving, you will always be telling yourself, "I have more than enough".
