Seek the value first, and the monetary value will follow.
Money doesn't exist in isolation. It exists based on the value you accord it, which is massively subjective. That's value of money varies from person to person, and from society to society.
Thus in your attempt to make money, you cannot isolate or dissect it from its latent value. You've got to identify the value first and go for it. Then the money equivalent will attract you.
Money made in isolation of its real value, of value creation benefits no one, not even the maker, than mundanity or mammon.
Have you ever wondered why those who make it big in gambling go back broke the next day?
If you make money without value creation, you'll lose the procedural knowledge.
The procedural knowledge is as well sensual. Apart from giving you the 'feel-good' feeling of accomplishment, it gives you the grit needed to sustain the money.
In your journey of value creation towards making money, you must have horned some people's skills or must've engaged some people's time positively, direct or indirect. And this reality will revolve back to you, one way or the other.
Plainly, for example, you either work for someone or get someone to work for you to make your money. Either way, you'll create chains of values that will get back to you later.
A good book aphorism says 'seek first the KINGDOM of heavens, and all other things shall be added'. In other word, you're told to clear off the tides of the compelling, which may push you into making money without creating value.
Nonetheless, if your efforts at this have not paid off to your desire, never despair of winning.
You're winning, and having it big just in due time. Keep at it, your value creation system mightn't have gotten to a required or a desirable threshold for your kind of wealth to happen.
If you have not started the journey. Please do something. Don't just pray without taking an action.
Get a trade, or a profession, not just an ordinary one, but the one you most cherish. Endeavor to excel at it. Endure it if you have to.
The next thing on the other side of the road is money.
Mend your walls and bridges before getting there, don't burn your bridges.
Shalom.

4 年Great quote and mindset-Was in residential real estate for many years-Mainly a "listing' agent who sold the majority of homes that I Listed-I learned eventually to charge more just for "perception" of my "value"-most people feel that if you "charge more" they are getting better services/products-And it works:)
