No, It’s Not Money Or Knowledge — Your Success Needs An Extra Step
Hello friends, I know many of you love my content, especially when I talk about the best ways to make money online.
The love and success I have achieved in less than a year are truly inspirational. With over 5000 followers on Medium, 48K+ readers, and the money I’ve made by helping others, it’s been quite a journey.
But have you ever wondered why people say “Money and knowledge are useless for a reason”?
Despite my desire to hang out with spiritually wise people and make a difference, I’m not a saint. To be a great writer, I believe (although you may differ), you need to be a problem solver, a source of hope, and genuine, along with all the other things you might have heard many top writers talk about.
You Don’t Need Money To Be Successful
I have always believed that money can provide you with freedom, a better life, good relationships, and much more, and that still holds true. However, when I started earning good money, I realized there was one step beyond it.
And yes, I mean it.
You may say that what I’m about to write is the most idiotic thing ever, but trust me, it will surely open your eyes, and I’m not yet a preacher.
I like to share life-changing stories that I have thoroughly experienced in my lifetime and learned from others. That’s why it matters.
A wise person once said, “If you don’t learn from others’ mistakes, you will spend your whole life learning from your own mistakes.”
I would say that even some people don’t bother to go the extra mile to learn from their own mistakes, and that’s the reason for all the evil in the animal kingdom living on this planet.
Anyway, I would love to hear your opinion.
Back to the topic, I always thought that once I started making good money, I would turn a reasonable amount of money into a million- or billion-dollar business.
When I started earning as much as the top 10% in my country, I failed several times to make a big difference and sometimes lost a lot of money in gambling (stock trading), which I now do wisely.
I found the reasons for my misery:
- Trying to make quick money
- Less focus on learning
- Doubting every person talking about money
- Inconsistent work toward my vision
💡 But more than that, what I seriously found disgusting within myself is that I never thought of taking risks for any business opportunity.
Why Did I Hesitate to Take Risks?
It’s often believed that money can solve every problem, and it’s true. Those who don’t believe it can bluff and satisfy themselves.
But money can be useless when you can’t figure out how to make more money with the money you have, even when you are selling something.
“If you keep selling your life hours for money, it’s unlikely that you will achieve financial freedom and live a rich life.”
That’s where I was stuck.
I had the money and knowledge to start many businesses that didn’t even require $5000 to start, but I took risks in stocks for quick money instead of investing in real businesses.
Although I now make money from stocks after significant losses, I could have seen a better future if I had also invested in other businesses until now.
Elon Musk was almost on the edge of bankruptcy when he faced several failed attempts to successfully test SpaceX reusable rockets and other systems, but he never gave up.
We are mentally very sick if even money can’t bring a better life until we fix our mental sickness.
Some people are born to take risks, and they succeed for sure, while others, despite having all the resources, never reach the top.
Why do some people have millions but never touch billions or miserably fail?
It’s often due to a lack of ability to take risks, along with other factors such as knowledge, management, teamwork, and more.
For example, one of my YouTube friends, whom I helped earn $3000 to $10,000 and has over 1 million subscribers, could easily scale his business to 100K. However, despite evaluating his business today, he is hesitant to take risks even with just 10% of his earnings.
I’m not suggesting that you should blindly take risks, but if you take a calculated risk with 10% of your money, and in most cases just 1% or even less to start an online business, there is no harm in that.
In the era of the internet economy, you can make good money by starting a business for as low as $20 per month. I have shared several articles and case studies on this topic, and if you don’t want to miss out on future content, please subscribe here.
