The Secret to Making Money
Mastering the Mindset
Yesterday, I had the chance to chat with a top expert who’s achieved incredible results. Their thought process and logic were truly different from mine. I wanted to share our conversation with you, hoping it will help those of you looking to make money:
1. Why is it so hard to get things done well these days?
The expert said, “You should only have two types of people around you: those who provide economic or emotional value to you. Essentially, it’s all about mutual benefit. When you think in terms of mutual interests, you’ll find it easier to get things done. After all, in the face of interests, all other relationships are insignificant.”
2. Whether in traditional business or modern online business, why do people always try to freeload?
The expert explained, “You must value and respect those who discuss interests and value exchanges with you directly. They are usually reliable. Don’t believe in people who offer free help; there’s always a catch.”
“The most expensive things are often those that are free. In business, it’s all about value exchange. To live better, you need to constantly enhance your value, increasing your bargaining chips and having more to exchange with others. That’s what truly matters.”
3. What if I want to help others whenever they need it, practicing altruism?
The expert responded, “When cooperating with anyone, ensure the matter is reliable. You need to filter and think critically. Only if you see and achieve results can you talk about altruism, as it brings positive feedback and outcomes. “
“Helping others is a kindness, not an obligation. Accept gratitude gracefully and let energy and money flow, as both are valuable in circulation. If others don’t appreciate it, that’s fine too. Don’t let it cause you pain. However, if someone violates your principles or harms your interests, cut ties immediately. There will likely be more instances if there’s a first time.”
4. Successful money-makers don’t do it alone.
The expert highlighted, “A truly skilled person knows how to share profits and involve more people in financial relationships with them. Especially in entrepreneurship, a company needs a fair profit mechanism to avoid internal conflicts and potential failure. Whether you’re employed or running your own business, making more money is the goal, especially when it’s something worth pursuing. Financial incentives are crucial for motivation; otherwise, who would do it? This is the core issue. Just like writing, if it doesn’t pay, it’s hard to write every day.”
5. How do you judge if something is reliable?
The expert advised, “Always start with interests. Many fail to see the truth because they only consider their perspective, never others’ interests. While considering your benefits is natural, you also need to step back and analyze the overall picture. “
“Understand the flow and distribution of money and interests. Only by considering the overall interests can you avoid problems and ensure reliability. Everything operates on a foundation of fair interest distribution.”
6. Any project or team needs a clear understanding of interest relationships.
The expert said, “You must understand the relationships between different interests, their connections, and how they control and flow. Internally, understand the relationships and conflicts among interests. From any angle or perspective, it should be reasonable. This deeper understanding of interest-based thinking is crucial.”
7. Truly savvy people bind their interests with those who make the rules.
In summary, the key to success in making money lies in understanding and mastering the game of interests and relationships.
