let's talk about how money works today
I'm gonna share a secret with you that
guarantees you'll be rich or you'll be
broke so I want you to think about how
money came about think about back in the
days in history you have farmer you have
hunter right back then is let's say I am
a farmer and I grow vegetables in my in
my garden in my farm right oh I have
some crops and then if I want to eat
some meat and maybe you are also have a
farm of some sort and you have some cows
in the farm and back in the old days if
what we want to do if I want to have
some meat we need a tray you're gonna
bring me the meat are you gonna bring me
the whole cow right and then you bring
it to my farm I'm gonna give you some
vegetables in exchange right and when
you get to a point where people are
saying you know what it's kind of
difficult to have everything that I want
to trade with me all the time right it's
difficult to have ten cows with me or
three horses with me all the time what
can we do to be just little bit more
efficient how can we make this little
bit more convenient for each other and
people came up with a concept of money
now back then we're talking about it
could be like all these certain types of
stones right and then precious metals or
or gold coins and things like that and
now to today we are talking about of
course paper bills dollars or even now
digital currency but that's how money
works you have to understand the world
revolves around value so if you
understand the world revolves around
value the business of making money is
nothing more than a value and value
exchange once you realize that that is
how money works and that's how the game
works
so what we do is we trade our time if
you're an employee our products or
services
our expertise as an entrepreneur right
our skills we trade that in exchange
that with other people for money what it
means is the more value that you could
provide the more money people are
willing to trade you with it it's that
simple
so instead of just focusing on I want to
make more money I want to make more
money being all desperate and all
panicking what you focus on is instead
of becoming a person of success become a
person of value if you want to make more
money the question you have to
constantly ask yourself is how could I
be a person of value how could I become
more valuable how do you become more
valuable to the marketplace once you
understand this money is not an issue
because the marketplace is always always
willing to pay good money for a good
value what's the difference between
someone making $10 an hour instead of
someone making I say $500 an hour as an
attorney someone making $10 an hour the
marketplace is saying hey you know what
you're only worth $10 or $12 or $15 an
hour versus I'm willing to pay $500 to
spend an hour with an attorney the
difference in value not your person not
not a person not valley's a person value
the marketplace is willing to pay and
you notice people who don't make a lot
of money people who are struggling or
people making minimum wage they are
easily replaceable this is someone
working at a restaurant a waiter
waitress
maybe they good they do very good job
they work very hard but if they leave or
the boss to manager finds them they
could be easy we place when you could be
easily we place you are not very
valuable they're more difficult you are
to replace the more available you are
that's the secret they will guarantee if
you'll be broke or you'll be rich now
the next step assuming you're working
hard
you are developing your skills you're
becoming more valuable in the
marketplace what you really want to get
to is to become invaluable now what do I
mean by that
invaluable meaning irreplaceable when
you are invaluable in the marketplace
the marketplace will reward you
handsomely because you are irreplaceable
let me give you some examples Michael
Jackson that's invaluable because
there's only one Michael Jackson in the
world Michael Jordan he is invaluable
because there's only one Michael Jordan
in the world and that's why fans Nike
are willing to spend millions and
millions and millions and millions of
dollars with one person because he is
invaluable Oprah
Beyonce right all the celebrities
there's only one of them there are many
other singers and dancers but there's
only one Beyonce being invaluable also
means you are wanted you are needed you
are this you're being desired by a large
group of people the more people desire
you who want you to need you the more
invaluable you are the more difficult it
is to replace you the more invaluable
you are and do more invaluable you are
the more money you're gonna make they're
more wealth you can create so become a
person of value that's how money works
it is a value and value exchange so
comment below ask yourself what are you
willing to do to be a person of value to
become the valuable person in the
marketplace and then maybe eventually
become invaluable until next time I'll
see you my belly
