4 misconceptions about money.

1.- Money is needed to earn money

Having money can make it easier to earn more money if it is used properly. If it were not for this simple fact, venture capital would not be a big industry. However, if you do not currently have money it does not mean you can not win anything. A lot of enterprising people today have started their business without resources or with very few resources (you have the example of the now deceased Steve Jobs founder of Apple, which created a millionaire industry starting to work from the garage of his house).

It may be more convenient or easier to make money when you have money but in no way is a prerequisite. You just have to put in a little effort, think everything in detail and be good at what you do.

2.- Time and money are proportionally related

This belief is very common to hear. Because from the industrial age the model of work that was imposed was based on a proportional relation between the time and the money that was charged by the same one, it tends to associate from that moment the time worked with the money instead of associating the money with employment in a company.

So let's try to make it clear: "the relationship between time and money is imposed by the time you spend in employment and not by the idea of ​​money itself". The truth is that there is a big difference between hard work and smart work. Successful people have learned to work intelligently! And, in that way, you can make money saving time and effort, as well as avoid other major headaches.

If you are proficient with your business plan, you can create something that generates money based on other things such as the product of sales. Think that you are subscribed to the webs of promotion of products by affiliation, if you find 100 buyers that acquire a product for $ 50, you will have already made $ 5,000 (less the accommodation and advertising costs if you have a website to market the products, among other expenses ). I am not implying that it is easy to earn $ 5,000 per month but I am saying that your income does not have to be proportional to the time invested in your business (in fact your business may be running on autopilot and be earning money without investing any time) .

3.- Money is bad

If you see money as a kind of enemy it will be impossible for you to obtain it. Money is a tool like any other and this emotional connotation will not help you in the acquisition or use of this tool.

Money does not transform good people into bad people. Money simply magnifies the qualities that are already inherent and remain within each person. If you are a good person, having more money will allow you to do a greater good! If you are a bad person, having more money will allow you to do more damage. If you cheat or hurt others to achieve your own benefit, then obtaining benefits would be bad. But if you create something of value for others, achieving an economic benefit is always good.

Once you start to see it for what it is, your business decisions can be based on reality and have a level of objectivity associated with them. Many people make stupid business decisions because they have developed certain wrong ways of thinking about money and have to try to get these ideas out of their minds. Fears about losing money or the idea that money is bad simply does not help anyone.

4.- Money is not that important

This is one of the beliefs most known to people. And it is one of the main reasons why most people are not rich. You just have to say that to a family that is going hungry right now, or to the family that urgently needs the money to get medical help for a health problem that a member of their family has. Surely they can tell you the true importance of money!

We have been conditioned since we were born to think that money is not important. We have been equally conditioned to think that the desire to have money is bad and unethical. And yet, all people seem to run after money.

You simply have to look at the countries and cities that lack money. You will find that in those same places there are, in general, much more crimes, more exploitation of people by others, more illnesses, more suffering, more deaths and very little or no education.

It may be that having money is not the most important thing in life but ... let's face the facts now ... Money is incredibly important nowadays. It's what you rely on! It is what allows you to buy your food, water, your house, clothes. It is what allows you to pay the doctor's bills. It is what allows you to help and support the others around you, including your loved ones. And we know that all those are very important things!

Change your mind

If you have been a victim of these errors, it is not too late to change your mind. It can be difficult to escape from the mentality and habits imposed by the culture we live in, but that does not mean it is impossible. I do not agree with the way of thinking that "it's only worth it if it's difficult" but in this case it's definitely worth doing
