For centuries money has been the pre-dominant focus of human activity. Before money came along humans bartered, but the concept of excess wealth, of being a millionaire is a new addition to our worldly pre-occupations. As far as millionaire knowledge is concerned we are all merely infants in the grand scheme of things and its this activity, this vast need to have enough money that will mature and refine to a point when everyone will know how to get their entitlement, their share. But why wait for this to happen? The source of entrepreneurial flair is creativity. Making something from nothing. Creating or uncovering value that didn't exist before. There's three things you should know about becoming wealthy quickly. Here they are.
1) Wealth is a numerical concept designed to assist in the trading of value. It sounds obvious but its your understanding of its nature that can help you see clearly. $1 million dollars is not made up of a single fat bill with a million printed on it. Its numerical and has a lowest common denominator. A cent. 1 billion cents is 1 million dollars. If you know how to get your hands on a single cent, then there in your capacity, you have the seed to make 1 billion cents. A cent is easy to get, so your work is immediately leveraged. Even $10 is an elementary amount of profit to achieve so your work of getting 1 billion cents, now becomes a matter of getting 100,000 ten dollar bills.
Its not how much you can get your hands on that really matters. Whats important is how you got that quantity of numerical value, money. If you got it by working in your job for a single hour, then the prospects of time diminishes your possibilities of using leverage to make that million fast. Lets face it, that's what we all require. Speed is important because time is short and life is for living after all once the capital is safely in the bank.
The source of entrepreneurial creativity is creation. Worked for money, money that has been assigned and credited to you for carrying out specified tasks on an hourly time scale, namely as you would typically find in a job situation is absent of money "creation" You are far removed from the source of money creation. Your creation is fixed by an outside source, an agreement. The agreement you made with your employer. Opportunity is very scarce in these circumstances.
So, if you can learn or craft an excellent idea where you can make even a single cent under the power of your own independent creativity, there in that activity has the potential to create $1 million dollars. I would rather work and focus my activities to make a single cent, then to labour under the burden of an hourly wage, simply because the security given is false. You have abandoned the possibility for creation for security. A dead end.
2) If you reflect on nature, you can literally see the secret power of leverage and the implications to your entrepreneurial goal. Nature creates abundance through creativity from literally nothing. On a microscopic level, everything that duplicates and repeats itself does so in the very first instance from a small embryo. Whether its animals humans or plants, the world of nature is about componential volume. A single component, a lowest common denominator repeated on a massive scale. As an entrepreneur your job is to find your own individual component. Your own embryo of value that you can work to play god by reproducing its properties on a grand scale. Repetition and leverage go hand in hand in the million dollar quest. This concept can deliver very rapid results indeed.
3) But before we even consider reproducing an increment of value that will grow into a million dollar fortune we want something else. We need the leverage of organic growth. Just like in nature, an embryo is the source of the creative process, however after that small systemized act of creation, nature go's on to the next creation. She does not labour with her last creation for the time of its natural life. The organism is endowed with its own capacity to grow and reproduce.
It is this quality that we want to endow with our little increment of value that will be reproduced. We want that because as entrepreneurs, we create, we don't work. A creation must find its own legs, just like living organisms do. There is only one way to do that with money. Since money is a man made structure invented to assist in the trading of value, your increment of value will need to be endowed with a capacity to reproduce on its own in a certain fashion relevant to money and human needs.
Its that last item, "human needs" that is most important. The natural forces of supply and demand have an intrinsic role in nature. What is not required dies off. What is required is plentiful and dominates an environment. So your originating creation of value that must be reproduced and duplicated, must have a value of reasonable demand. People must seek it out. They must want it and takes steps to get it beyond your own activities.
Why is it that money is so scarce for so many people on Earth?
Why are there so many poor people on Earth if money is most required by so many? If the law of supply and demand dictates that a commodity will find a level based on these two factors, then why are so many millions lacking money they need. The demand is huge. In some cases its a matter of life and death! (For example a person needing an expensive operation) Yet this lack still exists, contrary to how nature functions.
This last statement should inspire you exponentially. If you think about how the world has changed since the last century you will note how completely "blind" humans were for example in the 1900's to the demand of fellow humans. We have come such a long way. There are products and services developed today that are so diverse and so completely astounding in their numbers that when we look at the past, our capacity to meet demand was simply ancient.
What many people wanting their first million fail to realize is that we haven't even scratched the surface of demand and how to meet our fellow humans needs. If commerce continues at the rate it is going now, in 50 years even the diverse and rich supply of products and services will look exponentially pre-historic. In other words, the opportunities are shockingly available. Meaning a million dollars in as little as mere months is completely within your grasp.
