So why is it so difficult to earn $ 100 a year? Well, first of all, if you follow the standards of the society, then it is difficult to do something. Realistically, it takes a lot of money these days. In previous decades, it wasn’t necessary to have a lot to make a lot of money other than willpower, a little money to invest in a business or meet the right people.
Here’s a thought to chew on for a second. Have you ever heard people say, “I’m worth more than this job pays me, I’m worth at least double.” Well, unfortunately you are not, and even I found out the hard way myself. If you have an $ 8 an hour job, that’s what it’s worth. You have to put in the time and get the experience to earn the amount of money you want. Now if you don’t invest the time to get the experience, it’s time to take your money and buy lots of lottery tickets and pray, or start your own business. I guess you have a better chance with the business than with the lottery.
Knowing the right people is still very much in force today. You’ve undoubtedly heard the expression “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” and this is still very true. Many people have gotten jobs, careers, or companies because of those they know, and in doing so, most have succeeded on their own. To accompany this, many jobs are within the reference-based hiring system. For example, let’s say Joe’s coffee shop has posted an ad in the newspaper and online that they are hiring. Well, Joe looks for close friends or family that he trusts, more than the general population. He wants to have someone he trusts who is close to him and who can observe.
The idea is that unless you have a Bachelor’s degree, MBA, Doctrine or some other major degree or license, or are a very skilled trader etc, you will not make more than $ 30-50k a year. This is not entirely true. Let’s look at some ideas that people have used to earn that amount of money without those titles or money.
I, for example, took about $ 100 and started a mobile car detailing business, which within a year was recognized locally by the newspapers and the mayor. It took my dad about 2k to start a plumbing company and he’s made millions doing it, he’s been on Oprah for it, he’s worked many celebrities, news icons, and millionaire households. My friend started an internet marketing site, with around 2k and has been consistently earning 12-20k a month. None of us at the time we started our business had money or titles and we have all made at least millions of dollars in our lifetime so far. Take a look at Donald Trump, he had no money when he started his empire, in fact he is said to have been very persuasive with investors by telling them that he had things going, when in fact he didn’t. Bill Gates, a kid from high school that he and a couple of other people started playing with what are now windows. Bill Gates made a similar move to Donald Trump. This was telling investors that you had a product when in fact you didn’t.
Why is it so difficult to earn $ 100,000 a year? It’s simple – people don’t have the passion or desire to fight for this to happen or the ability most of the time. Besides being lazy. People again want money to fall into their laps without working for it, and unless their life starts that way, or wins the lottery, or publishers’ clearinghouse, this will not happen.
