Money is all around us; all we have to do is look for it…differently.

by | Nov 24, 2009

If you saw the wonderful movie, August Rush, about the musically gifted (that is an understatement) little boy who grew up in a home with other boys without families but knew down deep that his parents were alive, then you remember his saying…

“The music’s all around us…all we have to do it listen.”

Well, what if the MONEY was all around us…and all we had to do was look for is?”

It’s one thing to grew up thinking that we have to get good grades in high school in order to get good grades in college in order to get a good secure job which doesn’t exist for the most part anymore. It’s entirely another thing to learn early on that that isn’t the truth.

Preparing your children to go to college isn’t a bad thing. Leading them to think that it’s the only way they are going to be successful in life is child abuse. And here’s why…

When children grow up to be adults who think that they must depend on others for their own livelihood, it’s like preparing them to be in jail for the rest of their lives.

To be dependent on others is one of the worst ways to live. Instead, let’s empower our children to make their own way, use their natural born genius to build products and services that make the world a better place and more.

In order to do this you have to begin instilling these ideas and philosophies early and if you, the parent or guardian didn’t grow up with these ideas, it can be rough going at first.

The best way to teach your children a different way if you can’t set the example yourself is to ask for the help of another adult who can. Help your child find a mentor, help a friend who owns a business, makes money on the internet, has a product or service business that works with other businesses.

Here’s just one example of thousands who figured out a different way while they were young…

In allowing your child to see another way, you provide him or her with endless possibilities in terms of being able to take care of themselves.

This, in my opinion, is love.
