Greetings readers! Today I want to talk about opportunity and how many people tend to miss theirs, particularly when it comes to financial opportunities. It’s no secret that today we live in a world in which our economy is shaky and jobs aren’t secure. Yet, years of tradition and people’s natural skepticism in anything new or innovative causes them to rely on a single pay check, from a job that they know could very well be gone in the next minute. As cliche’ as it sounds, having a PLAN B is an absolute necessity. Savvy investing, financial planning, multiple sources of income, these are but a few ways to increase your financial security in an unstable world.
People have a genuine fear of the unknown. Believe it or not, this includes gaining success financially. If you think back in time to some of the most pivotal inventions and innovations in history, most of them met some degree of resistance or skepticism before being accepted and adapted to in every day life. A small list:
1. Air Plane
2. Insurance Plans
3. Television
4. Cell-Phone
5. Internet
Any of those ring a bell? Obviously that’s a very short list, but they are all things that most people can’t live or function without. They are so much a part of our everyday lives that it’s hard to fathom people using phrases like “That’s unnecessary” or “That’ll never catch on“, but yes each of these brilliant and necessary contributions to society met that type of friction. Human beings and therefore society at large is resistant to change. Skeptical and stubborn, even when someone wants to convince us that something could benefit us directly, our most immediate reaction is to ask “Well . . . what’s the catch?“. Now in fairness, this question certainly comes in handy in many many cases, however it is a sign of a frigid way of thinking. People are conditioned to believe that everything works in a certain order.
“You work hard now, you reap the benefits later . . . hell you might not even reap the benefits at all, but at least you’ll feel good about working hard and trying, right?”
This was outlined in an excerpt from a book that I posted a while back. Personally, I like to encourage people to learn how to work SMARTER, not just harder .(Notice that I said “not JUST harder” because I don’t want any of you thinking that I discourage hard work). Most people, have a one track mind when it comes to making money. If you ask someone “hey, what’s the best way I can make some money?” The answer will most likely be “get a job”. Yes, jobs are wonderful without a doubt. But what do we know about jobs?
1. If you don’t work, you don’t get paid.
2. Most people don’t like their jobs.
3. You rarely have control of WHEN you work.
4. Jobs aren’t stable. If you lose your job . . . you lose your paycheck.
These are reasons I say looking for a plan B is essential. Even if you don’t have goals and dreams of being obscenely rich and wealthy, living paycheck to paycheck is a quick and easy way to be miserable. It takes a new way of thinking to be open to new forms of income. There are opportunities around every single corner in today’s world. Some are bogus and some are wonderful, but as the old saying goes: You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. I’d advise that you consider things as you come across them, as opposed to writing them off immediately. Having an open mind could very well lead you to a life of prosperity! Don’t seek out get rich quick schemes, don’t expect every opportunity you stumble upon to be some magic wand that will have $1,000,000 deposited in your account the next day. But there are legitimate ways to build a steady residual income that has potential to grow over time. There is true value and power in that type of opportunity and the words FINANCIAL FREEDOM don’t have to be a distant dream reserved for people that aren’t you. Of course I couldn’t share my opinion on this matter without sharing an opportunity with you as well!
