How Do I Make Good Money - The Age Old Question

I see this question asked time and time again in so many different forums. It is very common for people to want to make more money so that they can elevate their standard of living. With the economic climate these days, making more money is a hard thing or an easy thing depending on how you look at it.

For the educated or specialized workers, making good money is easier than for the unskilled and uneducated. That is because there are so many more unskilled and uneducated workers than there are skilled.

It takes time and money to acquire skills and education, but it proves a worthwhile endeavor in the long run. This is because job opportunities to make good money for the skilled an educated are always available in the long run.

However, if you have advanced in age and responsibilities, the change of going back and acquiring education and skills may be somewhat of a challenge. At this point there is no money or time to pursue education, so what are your options.

Have faith, all is not lost. You can indeed acquire education and specialized skills in certain areas if you are willing to do a little extra work and get a little less sleep. It will take you a longer time since the time available to devote to bettering yourself will be limited at this point. But rest assured that you certainly can make more money than you currently are making now.

If you are inclined to care for people you could do a home health care course for a few months in order to gain the certification necessary. If you have some familiarity of computers, how to operate them and how to use the internet, you could learn internet marketing.

Internet marketing is a very good option for people looking to make good money because there are so many different kinds of opportunities where you can learn with little money or existing skills. There is no need to buy and stock products and all the tasks necessary to succeed can be outsourced to workers in third world countries where the wages are considerable less than in more developed countries.

Learning internet marketing is easy but it takes focus and dedication. First, research the whole topic. Learn the different aspects of internet marketing and what appeals to you. The big secret here is that all the various strategies work. You just have to pick one and become and expert in that area. In order to succeed, you will need to maintain your focus and not skip from one opportunity to the next. Learn all about the aspect that you have chosen before you dive in head long.

Find a low cost or free course that you can follow and do it to a T and you will ultimately make good money.

The 7 Rules of Motivation

Motivation is key. We are all motivated to do certain things in our lives. We are motivated to make money so our families can live comfortably. We are motivated to make our house payment so we don't live on the street. We are motivated to go see a good movie or go to a good restaurant so we actually have something new to talk about. Why is it so hard to keep motivated about the things that we know need to be done but just can't get accomplished?

How are your finances? How is your love life? How is your time freedom? Aren't these the things that we deem most important? They kind of get pushed aside when life gets in the way. Why do you think the country is so far in debt and that divorce is so high? Motivation comes from the desire to get something done, not from the need to get something done.

So, how can we create desire where there is none? There are seven steps to motivation. The first step is to set a major goal AND have a path towards it. The path is the important part. You can sit down and write goals until you are blue in the face. Unless they have a path they are not goals, they are wishes. Let's say you have a goal of spending more time with your family. What is it going to take for you to be able to do that? Create a path that works for you and move on down it.

The second step is to finish what you start. You may know by now that I have a very successful business. It wasn't always so successful. We all have had days where we want to just stay in bed and let the world go by. You have to work at everything to become anything. Have you ever owned a business? Did you quit before success found you? How about that project that never got done or the garage mess that keeps growing? Your mind will be cluttered with those obstacles until you complete them.

The third step is to socialize with others who have a goal and a path like yours. These like-minded people will keep you in the game. Create a mastermind group in your area so that you can keep motivated through the week. Maybe it could be a luncheon so you can kill two birds with one stone, eat and succeed.

The fourth step is to learn how to learn. I've said before that knowledge is NOT power, applied knowledge is power. If you could read a book each day that would be great, but if you never applied what you read, how would it ever benefit you? Learn how to apply what you've learned and you will master this step.

The fifth step is to harmonize your natural talent with an interest that empowers. Do you love to meet new people? Do something that lets you meet someone new everyday. Do you love to play around on the internet? Do something that pays you to sit and stare at your computer. Motivation is temporary, empowerment is lingering. How can you be empowered?

The sixth step is to increase knowledge that inspires. What inspires you? You could read a personal development book or learn something new about a hobby that interests you. There are also conference calls and articles that you could read that could inspire you to greatness. I hope that this and maybe some of my other articles have inspired you. How about learning a new word or finding a new inspirational quote each day? As long as you are inspired, you are motivated.

The seventh and last step is to always take risks. So what if starting a new venture is risky? Isn't it riskier to keep doing what you've always done with no possibility of anything ever changing? You can do something about your situation. So get out there and do it already!

Growing a Dream

"We need a house." I informed my husband one December evening after looking at the same walls all day long of our two bedroom apartment. I was expecting, due in February and on my third month of bed-rest. My two little boys were running around and I felt claustrophobic. My husband's job was not that great and I had no idea how we would get into a home but I wanted one. He told me if I could find a way to do it he was all for it. I still had almost two months left until my baby came so I started dreaming of our charming little starter home while I waited. A dream seed was being planted.

After the baby came, I started researching and found out that there were programs for first time home buyers that we qualified for. We would be able to get a loan with payments that were not much different from the rent we paid. I was so excited and couldn't wait to start seeing houses and find a nice place for my family. It was so wonderful to see my seed sprout and show its miniature new leaves.

"Oh my," was a comment I made most of the time as we looked at these tiny, dirty, run-down dwellings that people called houses. It was so depressing that after two months I decided that we just weren't meant to have a home. We would have to wait for two more years to save up enough to get into a decent home. The seedling wasn't growing the way I thought it should and I plucked it out.

Summer started and with it came uninvited house guests. Our apartment first was infested with flees that bit us until our bodies were covered with red welts. My oldest son had allergic reactions to them and would have quarter size welts that would bleed from him scratching at night. They came from the un-mowed lawn around our apartment building. I called professional exterminators but they would only guaranty their work if they sprayed the whole complex. The land-lord would do nothing about them and our own extermination efforts gave only temporary relief. I thought this was bad enough but then the yellow jackets arrived. They were very aggressive and stung many of the tenants in our complex. The day one landed on my sleeping baby's forehead was the last straw. I had to get my family out of this place. Where had I put that dream seed package...I needed it again.

I started thinking about our little home once more. A determination came over me and I decided that I would look for this home until I found it. It would be clean and livable with a big back yard for my children to run around in. There had to be a home like this somewhere in our city and I prayed daily that the Lord would help me find it. After a month of hard searching we found just what I had been looking for. I knew this was it and couldn't wait to move in. Our lease would end mid-October and we could move out the same week. My seedling took root this time and a bud had appeared.

We put a bid on it but came in second. I was devastated. How could this be? This was my home. It wasn't supposed to be like this. What were we going to do now? Our little plant was looking a bit yellow.

We decided to look for another opportunity. We would not give up until our family was in a clean, safe, bug-free home. We were determined to find a place with room for our children to run and play. My dream plant was not going to die. I would love it and care for it until it bloomed!

Three weeks later we had not found anything interesting and nothing comparable to the other home. Our realtor called us and asked if we were still interested in the home we had bid on. The other buyers' financing hadn't gone through and the owners had already found a new place. The home was ours. We moved in just before Christmas! I love poinsettia blossoms, don't you?

Can YOU Actually Think And Grow Rich?

I am sure you have heard of the book "Think And Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. If you are one who is inspired to learn about success, wealth and how to achieve it in your own life, then this book may be one you would enjoy. Hill states that "if you change the way you think and apply specific steps to create a wealthy mindset, you can truly Think and Grow Rich." But what does this all mean exactly? This article will shed some light on this philosophy.

The meaning behind this book is all about your personal mindset and how you perceive money and success. Without having the proper mindset on these topics, you will never achieve your true potential.

In our world today, you see many educated people (without skill) and skilled people (without education) who are actually broke. What do the two have in common? The common link is how they perceive success and how to get rich. Now, what they are both lacking is the proper MINDSET to actually Think And Grow Rich.

So, why aren't you rich by now? It is a fact that more people, in the past 22 years, have accumulated wealth than any other time in human history. Your answer to this question will expose a lot about your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, doubts, fears, and maybe even some excuses. You may be blown away with what you encounter. Now some people believe that money is wrong and/or the people who have a lot of it are evil. In return for these thoughts, they will never achieve their own financial success. They will actually Think And Grow Poor!

In conclusion, do I think someone can actually Think And Grow Rich? Absolutely! This is not some mystical way of thinking. I urge you to try it for yourself and be prepared to be blown away.
