Category: Don’t Worry, Make Money

Decision in life is very critical and you have to be ready anytime it occurs. It happens more often in choosing priorities. A decision making is not sometimes a skill but sometime an instinct and some use faith to decide what he choose to believe.

“Don’t Worry Make Money” suggest that we have to eliminate fear and worry because it is the single most self-defeating emotion in life that will make your decision blur.

In my experience I can’t get an hour solution or instant solution if doubt fear is in mind. I have to get more time to understand the problem. If I doubt on a certain thing, I will miss the opportunity to know more about it. I must open up my mind and understand. When you understand more of a thing you can probably find the answer right away. Just focus on the things you want and you get faith, learn how and you will understand more. When know about that certain thing doubt and fear will disappear.

This is just an example. When you want to buy something that last on the stock and it is the only one left. Thought that tomorrow will be a good day to buy it but someone buys it the moment I return it to it’s place. You know that it will happen but our hope can’t predict what happen next. If we buy it when we can there will be no regret in the end.

Richard Carlson agree with the book “Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow” a best-best seller from the author Marsha Senetar’s. — When we are passionate about what we do, success will follow.

This chapter explains about passion and how you benefits from it. I understand more how to use passion to benefits me. Let me share my experience doing things with passions. We play the game we like to play. In my case I love to play basketball when I was on High School. I never get tired until the end of game it’s because I love it.

When it come to success passion is important. Your passion will be your fuel to work-out and you might even forget to take a rest just because you love what you are doing.

If you are not passionate enough on what you are doing, your energy will not be enough to finish what you started. Applying passion on the things you do or want must be wise. The career path that is not within your passion will just lead you to frustration. But when you do things that you love to do everything will just be alright while you can give all the best for it.

Filling up your weakness is a great help to make your goal done easily especially if your weakness will requires working with it. You must first find your weakness in order to prepare a supplemental aid for it. One good example is solving mathematical equations, if you having hard with numbers use your calculator. That is a very simple way that others may fail to do so. They push themselves so hard and making their work much longer.

My personal experience doing things that I’m not good at is ordering a menu on a restaurant. So I always ask who’s with me to pick food to eat. Same thing on my business, when don’t know much about the product a have, I ask somebody who can explain more about it.

When you are good at something share it. It is your opportunity to leverage yourself to many. If 9hours of work can be done by you, when you delegate it by 3 people, you can finish the work in 3hours.

Just like the popular quote “The birds with same feather are the same birds.” At the back of my mind while reading this topic I know that if you are very successful at one thing you will love to share it because it’s one way people acknowledge it. Then it comes to my mind that the title of the chapter gives a big clue for your success.

Tracing back may experienced when I was involved in a rock band, I started with no idea about making your music rock and how it feels like to be on the stage. Not long enough I learn the way how to make the music rock on the stage. Changes happen all the time when I decide to become a sales agent. Same things happen, I have no idea from the start but time leads me to be good on it. Now I’m a blogger but and beginning to learn it from bloggers out there until such time will come you will know my success story. I have a different sets of friend like a musician where I learn to play rock music, like a business man where I learn make sales and a blogger from where I am learning how to blog right now.

It’s ok to get advice and most important to learn from the people who is already successful in doing things that you want to learn.

This topic will guide you to choose to decide which way is much better. Which is better! knowing or believing? It said that believing is something that you just feel, but it is uncertain and often you don’t understand. Believing is something implanted in the mind while we’re young but we never really know it from the first place. Knowing is said to be within your understanding and making yourself sure about what is certain.

My personal example of believing is like a pay day. I expect to have money on that date but it is inconsistent on my experience and it was delayed. We move now of knowing that pay day will sometime never come on time and knowing it makes you prepare on a budget.

At first I believe and after I experienced, I  learn to know about it. We believe that a nice looking and mouth watering food at the table is good but you never know unless you taste it. And once we knew it, we learn from the second time around to and explain more detail.

It is a gift when you to know something in instant. But it requires lot of experiences of knowing something you want for. Just like planning to become rich or have a nice income. We can start from believing but knowing things what to do will be easier to achieve our goals.

We believe that we can earn big income on doing business but only few try to know about it. And the people who try can able to learn and know more about the business they are doing.

If you believe on something and you know it will going to happen, act for it. It’s an opportunity to have this kind of wisdom to do a certain thing that will eventually happen when you act.

Being reactive is like making decisions without thinking. It can cause failure or worsen the event if the decision is not correct.

I remember the story of the father hit the hand of his five years old son with a wrench. The child was hit because his father got mad when his son wrote something on his car. His father didn’t want his sons’ finger to be broken but it’s too late. After that he saw the word “I Love You Dad” written on his car. His son asks his father gently “when will my finger grow back.”

From that story lets make it being responsive. When the father see his sons scratch his car instead of making himself angry he, try to think of a solutions to fix it relax and calm. We know that a five years old child don’t know what they did after. The boy  just wanted  to say “I love you” to his dad. The boy don’t mean bad thing at all. It happen to people who don’t know how to act responsive.

To be responsive is being on our most relaxed state of mind. To see bigger picture and take things less personally, rather than being rigid and stubborn we are flexible and calm. Seeing bigger picture of you can able you to see it more clearly. Having a clear vision can send you a relaxed state of mind, good mode and happy feelings.

The last paragraph on page 34
A responsive mind is fertile ground of success. When your mind is clear and relaxed, you pave an open channel for abundance and joy. There is a direct and clear relationship between how much time you spend in a responsive state of mind and your own level of success. The more you are able to stay out of reactivity, the more opportunities will present themselves. Beginning right now, use the power of responsiveness to create your own success.

When you pay yourself first there is nothing to worry about investing whether your strategy fails or succeed. This is what I understand inside the book. To make it more clearly about investing, risk is always there and strategy is always changing. It really means Investing is only for risk taker persons, but to be safe and not to worry about the book advice to save money or pay you first. What ever happen to the market and your investment you will glad to know that you are safe.
