Financial Education
One of the questions most are on my website, which is financial education, is: How I can make more money?
Although this question reflects a basic need of every human being, it bothers me tremendously every time I hear it. It is a misguided question and is based in ignorance.
People who make these types of questions believe that more money is the solution to all problems. But what they really need is financial education. Even if they had more money at that time, it probably would lose it all again, because they are ignorant on the proper handling of money.
The best example are the people who win the lottery. It is a fact that the vast majority of them end up the same or poorer than they were at first, because the more money only magnifies the condition of ignorance of these people.
The solution is not to find some new formula to make more money. The solution is to acquire the necessary financial education to make money and keep well.
Although this sounds obvious, most people who start businesses skip this step so important, because they are busy with making money. Not enough to want to be an entrepreneur, you must learn to think like a before doing anything else.
For most adults this means first unlearn the education they have acquired, since the traditional education system does not encourage an entrepreneurial mindset, it also prepares students to enable them to enter the job market successfully. That is, produces individuals who have a mindset of employees, people who know how to meet requirements and follow orders.
How to learn to think like an entrepreneur?
The only way to learn to think like an entrepreneur successful is being close to at least one of them for an extended period. This is not always easy, because successful entrepreneurs are not around every corner!
If you find one that is willing to teach, stick to it if I have to work for free! It will be the best teaching ever going to be received.
However, the most feasible for most people is to study finance, read books written by successful people and study the biographies of them.
As you are discipline to gain a solid financial education before starting her business, the chances of success will be much higher.
