The Only Two Sources of Money

Written on July 18, 2011 by George Krueger & Mary-Lynn Foster in Money

BIGG success is life on your own terms. Money is one of the five elements of BIGG success.

When you look at the essence of money, you realize that it comes from only two sources.

Money for time

Time is another one of the five elements of BIGG success. You can trade your time for money.

This is the first source of money. For millions upon millions of people, it is the only source of money.

For the most part, these people will never get ahead. In fact, they will probably end up worse off than they are now.

Once they are unable to trade time for a paycheck, they will be destined to scrape by for the rest of their lives.

Money from money

Your money will work for you if you let it. When you save and invest, you make money on your money.

This is the second source of money. It’s how most wealthy people got rich.

Every human being has the same 24 hours a day. So the only way to get ahead is to get your money working for you.

The starting point of riches

How do you get money to go to work for you?

You must understand this concept:

What you make matters much less than what you keep.

You can’t always control your earnings. However, you are in full control of your spending.

The key to getting started on the road to riches is saving money, month after month. It leads to BIGG success!

The Two Sides of a Successful Small Business

Written on April 12, 2011 by George Krueger & Mary-Lynn Foster in Business

We often encourage business owners to mentally step outside their business. You may find it helpful to look at your business through the lens of another industry.

For example, what if you thought of your business like the real estate business? Real estate has traditionally been one of the greatest creators of wealth.

Of course, there are many ways to make your money in real estate. We’ll use real estate development as our model because it’s the best analogy for start-up entrepreneurs and existing small business owners.

Development and management

The two sides of the business are development and property management.

The development side is about locating the property, preparing it for construction and actually building it.

The management side is about leasing the property and maintaining it.

Both sides are essential

It doesn’t do you any good to develop a site if you can’t find any tenants. Of course, without the building, you don’t have anything to show the tenants so it’s a moot point.

Wealth and income, today and tomorrow

Development creates wealth in the future.

Management creates income today.

The problem we see with so many small business owners is that they’re stuck on today. Management consumes all their time. They don’t do anything to create wealth tomorrow.

It’s hard to do. We’ve walked a thousand miles in those shows.

We’ve learned that you have to work presently in the future. You have to spend a certain amount of time as a developer. Otherwise, your business will stagnate.

Develop the habit of spending some time today on tomorrow:

Start small – maybe 15 minutes a day just thinking.

At some point, you’ll find a project – a new market to pursue, a new product or service to create, a new business to start or buy. You may need to find a little more time each day to develop it. That’s okay – you’ll know you’re setting yourself up for more income tomorrow.
