Why You Can’t Make Money, Or Support Yourself, Selling Advice, or Art
Everybody’s an advisor, and, an artist. Too much competition. Not enough time.
Some people do make money selling advice. And-or, art. Because both advice, and-or, art, are a way of selling ‘time.’
In general, though, you can’t make money, and-or, support yourself, selling advice, and-or, art. Unless, of course, you network, join up, with others. Who are also selling ‘time.’ You can do the math. How much you need to sell at what price. Who can, and will, pay the price. For your time.
Most people do not value time. They think time is unlimited. Because, half-the-time, they’re right, time is unlimited. It’s the other half that causes problems. Prevents us from achieving financial goals that are always tied to time.
Realistic Assessment of Time
Meaning, we stand in our own way with our limited, or unlimited, ideas about time. Time is not unlimited. Time is money. That’s for sure.
We can start there (or here). We only have so much time. Therefore, we take time and multiply it (or divide it) by the number of people who will buy, and the amount we can charge, for our time (advice, art). Advice, and art, being one way to utilize time. Perhaps, for half-of-us, avoiding time. The reality of time.
If you work an average job and collect an average salary, you may think you cannot get ahead. Why you’d rather sell advice, or art. Which, to you, may seem more fun, more natural, with a potential bigger ‘upside.’ It’s natural to think this way, and we all think this way, at some point, or another.
Unrealistic Assessment of Time
Unfortunately, the market is limited for advice and art. And, also time. Because technology has overtaken all of these. Changed the equation. When it comes to time. Made it much simpler for humans to allocate time. For advice. And, art.
Also, made it much more difficult. For any individual. Or group of individuals. To stay ahead of time. Competition for time is ferocious, and, unwavering.
Technology is an unlimited number of zeroes and ones. Functioning as, and with, an extremely limited number of zeroes and ones. To be frank, and technologically correct, one zero. And, one, one. This gives us the break down, and the metaphor for time. What we have to do to stay ahead, or, even, with time.
Money and Time
So, this explains the problem with charging money for time. Not enough time. Too much money. Meaning too much time. Not enough money.
We’re all stuck with the same 50–50 when it comes to money and time. Advice. And, art. This holds us back. Pushes us ahead. Reverts us. To. The mean. There is a circular relationship between money and time.
Conservation of the circle is the core dynamic in nature.
