Make Money with your own money machine-Basics.

Make money with your own money machine may sound like a pipe dream or something unattainable, but in fact, many are doing it right now. One thing you can be sure of is that they began with the basics. If they don't start with the basics the will have to come back to them. Basics are the fundamental, foundational building blocks for any kind of business. It could be a brick and mortar business, an online business or just the business of life. For example we might look at the biblical example of Matthew 7:24-27...24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

Here the idea is that in order to build a Christian life it must be based on solid principles that have been tested by time and experience (It helps if they are commands given to us by our Creator). So the same idea applies for us to build our business. What then are these principles that are so basic? You will remember that last time we discussed the importance of "attitude". That is one of the first building blocks. If we don't have that right nothing else matters much. Once we determine that we have a winning attitude that will see us through the rough times we should probably consider if we have "Sisu". This is one of those words my Finnish father introduced me to at an early age.

I'll let Wikipedia explain:Sisu is a Finnish term loosely translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. However, the word is widely considered to lack a proper translation into any language. Sisu has been described as being integral to understanding Finnish culture. The literal meaning is equivalent in English to "having guts", and the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior. However sisu is defined by a long-term element in it; it is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain an action against the odds. Deciding on a course of action and then sticking to that decision against repeated failures is sisu. It is similar to equanimity, except the forbearance of sisu has a grimmer quality of stress management than the latter. The noun sisu is related to the adjective sisukas, one having the quality of sisu.

Our intent, our dream, our plan to have a money machine must be built on a firm foundation and have at it's core, in us, a fixed and dogged determination that will see it through to success or completion. Perhaps the next fundamental would be integrity. Without integrity we would be fooling ourselves that we were doing something of value when in fact it would be a lie. If we could not deal with others in a way we would want be treated whatever we create would one day come crumbling down. Just in our recent past we see where others have built financial empires only to have them be washed out to see with the ebbing tide as the CEO or other executives are marched off to jail. This happens because at the root character of the company there was a lack of integrity. If we are not true to ourselves how could we ever expect to be true to others?

I see that we are going to need more time to develop the subject of "basics", so we will continue in the next article.

P.S. Here is a Money Machine that is working and creating income for many.

Making Money with your own Money Machine

Make money with your own money machine. When we hear the term "money machine" we think of something that prints money, like the Federal Reserve, or a business that functions well enough it can consistently generate a significant cash flow. One creates debt the other creates wealth. The one I'm talking about creates wealth.

The way to make money, I know some one will say you can 't "make money", you can only earn it, is to make a trade. You have something of a certain value and you trade it for either dollars or something else of value. Hopefully, what you trade is more valuable to your buyer than it is to you and what you buy is of more value to you than it is to the seller. Did you understand that? If not reread it, I had to, but it does finally make sense.

So let's say you want to develop a money making machine, just how are you going to go about it? There are a number of options. First it would be a good idea to learn something about money and how it even comes into being. Do you know where money comes from? Here is an entertaining and educational peek at the Story of Money. Be sure to watch it before continuing on.

Now that you know where it comes from we need to understand how we can attract it to us. Normally, we might think that the best way to make or earn money would be to have a job. If that job was a high paying job, so much the better. Like I said before we would have to make a trade and in the case of a job we trade our time for our employers money. We work so many hours and the employer would pay us a previously agreed upon wage. So much for making money, we have already solved the question. However, this way of making money does have some serious limitations. Let's take a look at some of them.

First of all, while we may work for an agreed upon wage we very often do not have much say in just how much that wage will be. We most likely tend to agree on the wage that the employer suggests we might be worth. If we are highly skilled in a particularly in demand skill we may be in a better bargaining position but that would require a considerable investment on our part for schooling or training.

Another limitation is that we will normally work the hours our employer thinks would best fit into his business schedule, leaving us little control over that part of the trade. Employers often become so bold as to telling the employee when they can take a vacation from the work, if you can imagine that!

So while working for someone else certainly can fill the need to accumulate some money you can see that it does have some serious drawbacks. If we have some imagination and consider these limitations undesirable what are our options?

Let's take a look. If we were to take a job, for a time, and during that time saved a portion of our earnings we might be able to open our own business so that one day we could be the employer and be the one to set the hours and the wages paid. What a novel idea. It's not new and actually has been around for a long time. While it's getting more difficult to get started with a new business these days, due to taxes and regulations, it is still possible and some one is opening a new business every day, probably several new businesses.

We will discuss some of these ideas in the next article.

What can you do without motivation?

What can you do without motivation?

What can you do without motivation? I dare say, "Not much". have you ever seen horses standing lazily in the corner of a corral or pasture. Nothing to do and no where to go. Just standing, swishing their tail at at a pesky horse fly, no action or movement, just nothing. But wait until someone comes along with food or a bringing the tack out to go riding and something happens. The horse is motivated into action. People are much the same way.

I have often observed a person walking with out purpose and they just kind of shuffle along. At other times there will be someone walking, with purpose, as if on a mission and they are going someplace. Their step is lively and the head is up. You almost wonder, 'where are they going in such a hurry'. Hopefully, that's you, the one who is moving forward as toward a predetermined goal.

The other day I was dropping off some papers at a friend's house. I saw three teenage boys standing in the next yard, talking or just hanging out. There were leaves all around them and I said to them, "Instead of just standing there you should get a rake and go around the neighborhood and make some money raking leaves". One boy, perhaps the leader of the group, said:" I don't do that kind of work, I want to do something like what you are doing...what do you do?" I said, "I work at the local newspaper." and he said, "Bring me an application and I'll fill it out."

I smiled and replied."You, go get the application yourself." He said he would but I don't know. I see so much of it in my business of trying to find people who are willing to do a paper route. On the other hand there are some who are excited about doing it. It seems as though this generation of young people, and that includes some older ones, expect to have it handed to them. I fear that having both moms and dads having to work to support their family, and single parents trying their best to make it, is leaving children with too much time with their peers and not enough time, with discipline, with their parents and family.

There was a time when I was a single parent and I remember the feelings I had toward my children when they were with me. I tended to give in to their wishes and didn't discipline as I should have because of the guilt I felt that they didn't have a mom and dad every day as a part of their normal life. I can only imagine that working parents who are not there when the kids come home from school might have similar feelings. So what can we do about it?

Build a work at home business!! That is the solution. If you have a business that you do from or at home you control your hours and income. If you say I don't know how to do business then I have something special for you. You can learn and we will teach you and give you all the tools you will need to succeed. There is no longer any need for someone to stay at a job their either hate going to or would just prefer to stay at home. It will take getting an education,... not the kind where you have to go to a school but one you can learn on your own time from your online computer.

Tuition is about the cost of a cup of coffee a day and you don't have to take out a student loan to attend. Do you know anyone who has done that, followed by years of paying it back, with interest? At our school if you bring a few friends along we will even cut the tuition for you. You pick the business model you like and choose a niche or field that you have an interest in or better yet, a passion for, and we can get started.
