Let’s talk about Money Matter in Day 6 of the free online courses. As Zig Ziglar put it: “Money isn’t everything, but it sure ranks up close to oxygen on the gotta to have it scale.” But seriously, the most important things in life money cannot buy.
Money Matters
The previous 5 lessons were gearing your mind towards success. You learned to set goals and how to achieve them. But success is not equal to having money. I mean you should not measure your success by the amount of money your are earning or the balance in your bank account.
Yes, money permits you to have a certain freedom when it comes to making your life more comfortable. It can buy you things. And it can buy other people’s services.
Money is Neutral
There is nothing good nor bad about money. Money is neutral. It is simply a tool which we as a society use to exchange our goods and services with each other.
Money is important. But remember, the most important experiences in your life money cannot buy.
But the most important things in your life money cannot buy. What’s more, these important things in life are not things at all! They are concepts, feelings, experiences – totally abstract, yet the things which make life a full life.
The Important Things in Life
Let’s think for a minute about abstract concepts, that matter so much to each one of us:
- Love
- Hope
- Trust
- Health
- Integrity
- Happiness
- Friendships
- Enjoying Life
- Sense of Peace
- Sense of Freedom
- Sense of Belonging
- Even a good night’s sleep
The list can go on and on, you probably already have a couple of things or concepts in your mind. And this is exactly what I want you to do today.
Evaluate Where You Stand
Think about what matters for you! Define what success truly means for you. Where does the money aspect come into the bigger picture of success?
Now, prepare a piece of paper and a pen. And let us consider success for a few moments. Ask yourself following:
- What would you say are the concepts which describe a truly successful life?
- Who is succesful person you know?
- Why do you think they are successful?
- What do you envision as your own success?
Answer each of the question, writing them down on the paper. This is important! The process of writing hard wires your thoughts. You are beginning to bring your thoughts into reality.
Next write each concept you envision to be success on a new line on another piece of paper and name that column “Envisioned Success”. Then add three more columns with following names “All the time”, “Sometimes” and “Not yet”.
Now think about a person who you believe is successful and observe how this person scores on your scale.
Then evaluate, how you score on your own scale for success.
In this video Zig Ziglar, the master of all motivators explains how this process works. He emphasizes that it is extremely important to evaluate where you stand before you can move on.
Additional Instructions – Day 6 on Money Matters
Money is important. But remember, the most important experiences in your life money cannot buy.
We all know we need money to survive. And if we like to have a nice and comfortable life we need more money.
But all the money in the world and and all the goods in the world will not provide you with what really makes life worth living. If you don’t have someone to share your wealth with, if you don’t have trust and happiness – what is it all worth?
A few important points about success for the end of the day:
- The more successful you become in the areas that money cannot buy, the more capable you become in making the money to buy things it can buy.
- The more people you help get what they want, the faster you will get what you want. In other words, what goes around comes around. For ever person you help, there are 5 others to help you in turn.
- Plan or even design what you want in your life. Every so often evaluate what success is for you and where you are on that success scale. And then adjust accordingly.
