A Look at the Fundamentals

In school, most people hear the mantra of “stay in school, study hard, get a job and stay out of trouble,” but I was always left wondering, “Is that it?” Of course, the answer is no. There is more to success than following that simple statement and there are more possibilities than that as well.

Remember it is all about your philosophy and your approach. Here is another concept that made me wealthy: profits are better than wages. Now this doesn’t mean that you can’t have both, as you can. It’s just that profits are better than wages. Wages will make you a living, but profits will make you a fortune. The good news is that you don’t have to settle for one over the other.

I began by working for profit and fortune on the side. I was working my full time job, but I also was making strides towards making profits as well. I was working full time on my job and part time on my fortune. This is simple, and it’s something that anyone can do.

No matter what you are doing in life, it’s important that you learn the fundamentals or the foundation of a given job or task. Without this ability, you don’t really know what is going on. Making money is not really any different. Let’s take a look at the well-proven fundamentals that you need to know in order to make more money.

First of all be suspicious of anyone that says they have a new system for making money or have “new fundamentals.” The odds are that they don’t have anything of the kind. The reason is that these fundamentals are time-tested and have been in play for quite some time.

The first thing you need to do is have a personal guidance system of things that you will and will not do, people you will associate with and that you will not associate with, and so on. This guidance system will act as a way for you to stay out of danger and keep on the right side of opportunity. While this may sound simple, in real life situations it can be rather complicated, just like the real world.

Opportunities may come your way that are less than a stellar match, and you may need to go the other way even if they seem attractive for some reason or another. Danger and opportunity after all usually walk side by side. Being proactive and constantly evaluating new information means that you will be able to distinguish between danger and opportunity.

If you don’t think that this dynamic between danger and opportunity is alive and well, just look at the recent history of humanity. Most of the world during our lifetime has been dominated by what can only be deemed as outright tyranny. On one side is liberty and on the other tyranny. These two forces have been in a contest over the last 50 odd years. Finally, liberty won more than its share. We
