Money is the virtual fuel of the modern world, powering most processes in the Game of Life. It has no backing beyond our collective agreement and Trust that it holds value.
Money is a tool. It is most effective when used rationally rather than emotionally. Money can’t buy Happiness or Love, but it is connected to Freedom that gives space for everything beautiful in life to exist. Money is a Trap-word. It is a concept of Quantity, and we often haven’t yet developed an Intuition about Quantities. Math and Game of Life knowledge are not enough – you must also understand your Game of Self Barriers and your own relationship with Money.
The key question is: do you want to be structurally dependent for security, or do you want Freedom? A Day job is like a dictatorship. Working for yourself is like a democracy – messy, but full of Freedom, Learning and growth. Progress comes with Change, not stability. No Job can give you the same Diversity of Experience as Entrepreneurship.
Most people in Day jobs never make the leap to better Job or Entrepreneurship and Freedom. People are held back by Inertia, resist Change, have low Self-worth and overestimate potential trouble. That is good news for you, because billions of sound Business ideas for new products and services exist where demand is higher than supply.
Choosing an idea is not as complicated as it seems – it justs needs to be Easy-to-try and hard-to-understand. Think of it as testing with minimal Resources, while gaining Diversity of Experience as Added value – Learning by doing. The way to find a profitable niche is to experiment with many small, Easy-to-try and hard-to-understand activities. A niche is profitable because it is hard for others to understand, while you are already in it, earning Money and having the Time to improve, finally understand it and do Scaling.
A strong strategy is to build on a foundation that not everyone understands. Test every variation of the Easy-to-try and hard-to-understand niche you’ve found.
The economy changes and constantly opens and shuts doors. When you find a good niche, don’t hesitate. When you’re profitable but Scaling options are no longer visible, search for another niche to add to your activities. It will likely be on the same foundation, so half your work is already done.
Earn as many big chunks of easy and fun Money as possible. Aim to have enough Money so you don’t have to care about expenses like rent and food. Invest in yourself, your life and your work.
You can find your way to fun and Meaning while you already earn Money and have found Freedom. We can fight rising inequality together by attracting wealth and then sharing it.
