10 Hiding Places of Money That Everyone Should Know
Powerful ideas on how you can use resources available to you now to make money
Money is essentially needed in all human endeavors.
“Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish to go, but it will not replace you as the driver.” Ayn Rand
In my religion, many people have misconstrued money to be the root of all evil. The Bible says, for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is the love of money, for the sake of itself, that is the root of all evil.
Money is good. Money is blessed by God. We consider people who are rich to be some of God’s favorite children. Now that I have gotten that out of the way, I want to emphasize that money is essential if we are to live a successful life.
Some say money is scarce but I tell you that money is much closer to you than you can imagine. Are you looking for money? Are you tired of your low life? Then read on to unravel these ten places where money hides.
1. Money hides in problems
The world today has more pessimists than optimists. They are able to find a problem with everything. Money hides in plain sight in people’s problems.
I read somewhere that if you want to become a millionaire, try to solve a $1 problem for 1 million people. If each of those people is giving you just $1, you are an instant millionaire.
All problems have solutions, although some solutions take longer to materialize. Think about it, everything we are using today, all the products we utilize in our daily lives were invented as a product of problems that existed before.
When you provide a solution to a national problem, you earn a national income. When you find a solution to an international problem you earn yourself an international income. So, problems come with money in disguise because out of every problem there is someone somewhere making money out of it.
2. Money hides in ideas
I love Shaunta Grimes! I am a quiet member of her Ninja Writers Club and she recently shared one of her daily phenomenal practices in one of her emails. She comes up with10 new ideas every single day.
“Everything begins with an idea.” — Earl Nightengale
Ideas rule the world. When you are not informed with ideas, you will be deformed with idleness. In this jet age, smart work is displacing hard work. So you need to equip yourself with ideas that are capable of generating income.
Imagine the likes of Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook with over two billion users worldwide; Bill Gates who founded Microsoft, and other billionaires in the world making a monetary impact through ideas.
A seemingly simple idea can turn your whole life around for good if only you are ready to brainstorm and come up with one that solves someone’s problem.
3. Money hides in people
Wherever people are gathered, money is also present. All the money you ever needed is in the hands of people. Money does not fall from heaven.
The issue is what values can you offer in exchange for their money? Ordinarily, people may not give you money just because you want them to. However, the moment you offer them something that they value, they will happily give you their money.
Strive to create value for others and watch the money flow to you.
4. Money hides in your talent and gift
There is no human being born without talent or gift bestowed upon them by the creator. There abound many celebrities, if not for their talent and gift they wouldn’t have climbed the ladder of greatness and fame.
Discover and unravel your talent and gift. Focus all your greatest efforts on its discovery and development. There’s nothing as good as doing what you love doing and getting paid for it.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
— Benjamin Franklin
5. Money hides in vision.
The Bible says without vision the people perish. Vision is the eye that allows you to move forward in life. A man without a vision is like a car driving in the night without headlights.
Many flourishing companies and organizations today are being built through visions on the part of the founders. Get a vision, share the vision, and run with it, and those visions will be converted into cash.
6. Money hides in hard work.
“I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” — Thomas Jefferson
Success is a product of hard work.
Hard work doesn’t kill rather it is laziness and idleness that leads to poverty, hunger and death. It is through hard work that money flows.
7. Money hides in products and services.
It is difficult to get products or services without spending money.
If you buy a loaf of bread, you have spent money to get a product (bread). If you pay a gardener to tend your garden, you have spent money on services.
Product is tangible while services are intangible but both yield income.
Think of a product to produce, think of any services you can render and you will make money out of it.
8. Money hides in opportunities
The reason why many people are poor today is that they are Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly (POOR).
Many see these opportunities but are afraid to take risk. Unknowingly to them that these are like unrefined gold that is capable of transforming their lives forever.
Opportunities abound everywhere. Do not let them slip away when you find them.
9. Money hides in your seeds
Seed implies what you have that you can let go or sacrifice today for a better tomorrow.
The mustard seed is the smallest seed in the whole world (about 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter). However, once planted it grows into a giant tree that bears numerous fruits and whose branches become a resting place for all kinds of birds.
Your seed might be your time, sleep, money, energy, or anything you can use as a form of capital that can in turn yield unimaginable income for you tomorrow.
“Cultivate your craft. Water it daily, pour some tender loving care into it, and watch it grow. Remember that a plant doesn’t sprout immediately. Be patient, and know that in life you will reap what you sow.” ― J.B. McGee
10. Money hides in the Creator
Who created the iPhone? Easy answer is Steve Jobs, or his company Apple. People look at the Apple suite of products and they are amazed at the genius that is Steve Jobs.
How do you then look at a human being, a complex creature with multiple systems running at once, and think we just fell out of the sky? We have a Creator, that is for sure.
Is there anything too hard for God to do? Definitely not! He created Heaven and Earth. He shelters the earth with the sky in suspension without a column or pillar.
The earth is the Lord and its fullness thereof. Whatever money you can think of abounds with the Creator. It is God that gives us the power to make wealth. Therefore ask of him and he will bless you above your wildest imaginations.
The floor is all yours now…
