What I don’t understand about a lot of people around me is that they complain so much about their job.
I know some jobs pay very less, some need hard labour. Some makes you frustrated.
But the thing is--if you work so hard on things you don’t like, why not try to improve. Once you get better at something, you may start enjoying it.
For example, my neighbours maid cooks food for them three times a day. She has been doing that for the last 20 years.
The funny thing is she doesn’t like cooking. She believes that being poor deprives her of any other choice.
My question is--if you don’t have a choice about something, why not try to improve in it and learn to enjoy it?
If you don’t try to improve daily, it will be a slow poison and you will live an awful life.
As most people don't receive any financial education in their life, it's up to them to learn it.
If they don’t, they will struggle financialy and end up doing things they don’t like for a living.
Financial knowledge comes from learning about accounting and investing.
You need to account every dollar you earn and invest everything you can save.
Think about it, if you stop working today, how long do you think you can survive?
I think the recent corona virus spread and the resulting lockdown has forced a lot of people to ask this question.
That’s where wealth comes in.
Wealth is the person’s ability to survive for an amount of time if he stops earning.
If you work for money, you give the power to your employer. But if you work to develop your skills, you keep the power.
There are hundreds of options around us. But we often fail to see them.
Being wealthy gives people the ability to see opportunities clearly.
Most people don’t get wealthy because they are not trained to recognise opportunities around them.
Great opportunities are seen with the mind not with the eyes.
There is gold everywhere. You just need to learn how to see it.
For example, whenever you get extra money, a wise choice would be to invest it in something that builds wealth like stocks. But not everyone does it.
Why? Because people are scared about risks.
To build wealth, you need a mindset of managing risks instead of avoiding them.
If you play too safe, you will miss big opportunities that can change your life. Playing safe doesn’t pay much.
Losing all your money might scare you. So, it is better to start small.
As soon as you start your wealth building journey, you will realise that it will be quite a long one. That’s why it’s important to stay motivated.
A job never makes you secure. Only your skills can do that for you.
I believe that the most important skills are sales and marketing.
If you want to improve your skills, create a list of things that you want to learn.
Take an entry level job in a field such as sales, customer service or communications. It will help you to develop new skills.
Pay for your skills first. Spend money on your education, on your skill improvement. Then your bills. It will help you to be creative and find more ways to earn money.
Education is more valuable than money in the long run.
There’s no rush. Keep working and keep building skills. One day it will compound and you will reap its benefits.
Build a side business using your skills.
Your work will pay for your bills and your business will make you wealthy.
But remember to use business income to build your wealth instead of buying luxuries.
An important distinction between the rich and poor people is that rich people buy luxuries last whereas poor people tend to buy luxuries first.
Remember that a business will always put money in your pocket whereas luxuries takes it out of your pocket.
Once you understand this distinction, your life will truly change.
Cash flow often tell us how a person handles money.
Money always comes and goes but if you have the right education about how money works, you gain power over it and then you can build wealth out of it.
The best thing about money is that it can work 24 hours a day for you. A lot of people don't understand it so they struggle financially.
Financial aptitude is what you need after you make money. You need to know how you can prevent people from taking it away from you.
And how to make money work for you.
When you buy new things, like a new car, it loses its value the moment you buy it.
In order to make money work for you, you need to keep your expenses low and slowly build a base of solid assets.
The most powerful asset in the world is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth.
There is a difference between being poor and being broke, being broke is temporary whereas being poor is an eternal mindset.
In the real world, it’s not the smart ones that gets ahead but the bold ones.
We all have tremendous potential. We all are blessed with enormous gift to think, to create. There is only one thing that is holding us back. That’s self doubt.
Life is mostly controlled by two emotions: fear and greed.
Fear stops people from achieving abundance. Whereas greed comes in when we try to maintain a lifestyle to impress others.
Most people don’t win financially because the fear of losing money is far greater than the joy of being rich.
For example, everybody can invest in financial markets. Some people make millions every year whereas some lose.
It is not gambling if you know what you are doing. It is gambling if you are throwing money and praying.
What you need to do is learn first and invest later.

You know one thing, many a times it happen, that what people.doing might pissed them off but they actually are good at it, which they don't realize...experince do matters.
I mean every now and then people gets pissed off their work. Nobody has a perfect life or perfect work.
What I am trying to say is if anyone complains about their work daily...it's better to either change it or start enjoying it.
I do have a lot of people around me who ALWAYS complain about their jobs. Even if they are getting decent money.
Sadly, nothing is perfect in this world untill and unless you make certain adjustment. It is human tendency that they are not easily satisfied, the thing you talking have seen them in big corporates...still people stick to them because they are good at it....or they know they don't have any other alternative to make a livlihood.
