Entrepreneur/Book keeping.Fist think about this question. maybe I’m thinking too much like an accountant, and my brain only sees numbers, but if we all had to apply this logic to our lives, then the complains on lack of finance will decrease. If you were to wake up each morning with $1440 in your bank account, you can only use it, you can’t add more to it, all you can do is just use it for the day and the next day its there again, what will you do with that money? For me I would Invest it. I would love to see a better financial future for my son, I would love to travel with my family whenever we want to, I would love to buy things we need without wondering where does the next cash come from, So yes I would Invest my money into ways that can make me more money. for those who are thinking along my path. we all do wake up with this amount of money each day. its call the TIME CURRENCY the currency exchange is 60 minutes = 60 dollars and since there are 24 hours in a day, there are 1440 mins in a day meaning you have $1440 each day to use.
The question is how do you use that time. is it invested or just spend and HOW CAN I TURN IT INTO DOLLARS?
A Few days ago I was talking to a young man, about 14 years of age, and was inviting him to an event that happens every morning at 7 am - 7:45 am before school, its an event that helps the development of young teens to have a better start in life. his immediate response along with is guardian was, “That’s too early” I began to explain to them my schedule each morning. I wake at 4 am , study my scriptures, then study anything from a book to a small video that is teaching me about some self developing skill. I then exercise, get ready for work, eat breakfast ( most times with my wife) and then off to work. all before 7 AM, their response to me was, “ They say you need at least 8 hours of sleep.” Well I sleep for 7 hours a day and its been awesome for me” I replied, in fact I feel ten times more alert and ready for my day when I wake early than when I sleep in till 7 am, then rushing to get out for work.
I shared that story to demonstrate the mentality of how the unsuccessful think. wither you do the math on the time you sleep or not, its important to know how well its being used. be conscious enough to know that 7 to 8 hours of sleep is 420-480 minutes or $420-$480 DOLLARS used. so SPENDING MORE than this is on the path for bankruptcy. remember from the time you wake you have now $420-$480 DOLLARS LESS if you sleep for 7-8 hours a day. that means you now need to figure how are you going to use the remaining TIME.
TIME IS LITERALLY MONEY!
For any of us who make a living wither at a job, or as a business owner, you are literally giving your time for money, you are giving your employer 8 hrs a day for a salary in return. that is one way of turning time into money in fact you are literally robbing your employer when you choose to stand around doing nothing at work, they are paying you for 8 hrs per day when in reality you only did 4 hrs of work. As a business owner you are investing time to sell a product or service to a customer in return for money. So how you use it is very important.
INVESTING TIME
Time should only be invested in things that contributes to your life positively such as FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, FRIENDSHIPS, FINANCIAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT,and SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT anything outside of these you are just simply spending the time away. Be sure to ask yourself this question every time you are about to do something. “is what am about to do going to be an investment or am I spending my time?” Ask again “What is going to be the outcome of this investment or time spend, what will it gain me?
Use your time to develop a skill or your knowledge, this will soon turn into money. Don’t spend 4-8 hours on Facebook, or Youtube or Instagram or in video games unless its your job and you are turning that TIME spend into MONEY. Every minute you use has an out come. Either it does nothing for you or it adds to your enrichment. VALUE YOUR TIME! It is why lawyers charge you to see them. because they understand the value of their time. when you value yours you would want to see it put to good use. develop the mind set to use your time wisely and it will turn into Money. Its been working for me, And the minority who thinks like this. TIME IS AN ASSET. make sure you put it to good use.
