When I talk to people about having multiple income streams, they
say why are you so money minded. Having multiple sources of
income is a topic which is definitely important, to be known and
the need understood. How many times we have heard people say the
following things:
1. Money, isn't everything.
2. You should be satisfied with whatever money you.
3. Don't be so money minded.
4. I don't care about money.
5. Money is not important.
and more phrases.
Well, with due importance to their thoughts, money might not be
important for them. But, I surely bet, money is important to
their milkman, money is important to their landlord, money is
important to their banks if they have taken loans, money is
important to the person who holds their mortgage, it is
important when you go to a hospital. I can go along giving more
examples. You may not need money but, almost every individual
who is connected to you needs money. As a matter of fact, money
is important to any individual living in a civilized city.
Please do not try to cheat yourself by knowingly denying its
importance. Nothing can take the place of money in the area
where it is required. Therefore, to argue that it is not
important is just illogical and meaningless.
The simple truth of you getting up in the morning and going to
work is because money is important. I come across individuals
saying, "It's all about satisfaction and not money". I fully
agree if you are doing social service else you will show your
displeasure immediately. If satisfaction is important -
employers will hire only satisfied employees and not give money.
Some people say money is not important just because they are
unable to earn money or they say someone with more money is
lucky. Luck does play a role in your financial success, it is
never sufficient in and off itself. Some even go ahead and say
too much money is bad.
Money is important - it is neither good nor bad. It depends on
what you do with it. There are no free rides in the world, money
is an effect which is always earned with effort and hard work.
So, next time you get an opportunity to earn, go ahead and
create another income stream.
