The ProfitZine. Foundations
Why the Zine?
The mission of this Zine is to help you improve your life.
How?
Financially, because no, money does not buy you happiness, but it does take away most of your daily problems, to start…
That said, we need to start from the basics, and yes, some of you may already know this information.
But it’s good to remind yourself of the foundations to keep you focused on what matters on your way to success.
Here we go!
Money, the basics:
The starting point: You need to care about money, you just do.
Long gone are the trading potatoes for carrots days.
So, if you don’t care about money, savings, or investments…
Your future you is already losing to inflation.
This world is never going to be cheaper to live in, never!
-> Please reflect on this and think about what your future looks like.
Math, the basics:
There is no √ or m3 to calculate, just simple math implemented in
our lives and with intention.
You need to know how much money you have, how much comes in,
how much goes out, and where it goes.
Then, you start telling your money where to go!
You are in control. Your choices today dictate your future.
-> Spread-sheet or white paper, please keep track of your money.
Knowledge, the basics:
Not necessarily books, although it would help, and I can recommend some, such as:
-> Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki;
-> Anything You Want by Derek Sivers.
You have the world at the tip of your fingers.
For 30 years, we have had access to the web, just double-check the info, and you are good to learn.
Curious fact: Almost all millionaires read many books, particularly self-help books.
Hum, wonder if knowledge and money are related…
-> They are, never stop learning!
People, the basics:
It does not get any more basic than this, we need each other.
We live in a community, we interact directly or indirectly every day.
So, you need to understand people, others, and yourself included.
How people think and how habits form.
Habits and triggers are created by emotions.
Triggers and bad habits get in your way.
Discipline and action are your weapons for change and success.
Study people and yourself. – You will evolve!
-> We all have at least 1 habit we should be changing or adding, make a list and discover yours.
Business, the basics:
Money itself is a business, and you can’t escape the business side
of the world.
You can only choose your own moves or let others play for you and then deal with the outcome. And no, the government is not the answer, it never was, and it never will. A life of hard work?
Hard work, yes, but for you, not someone else.
Big difference in action and outcome!
Do you work for yourself?
-> If not, can you find a way to?
Profit, the basics:
This will be our main topic of exploration. Everybody knows the word profit means a monetary gain derived from a transaction.
But how can you profit to the full extent of the word?
Can you profit in other areas of your life?
You can, and many people understand.
How to profit can be a state of mind.
The glory is when 2 people make a transaction, monetary or not,
and the outcome is the best possible situation for both.
– This is authentic profit!
-> Can you imagine an exchange like this in your life?
Final thoughts:
These are the 6 topics ProfitZine will go over in more detail.
This content was meant to help you review the pillars of the foundation
for a better future and sparked some initiative.
Because change and evolution can only happen through action.
-> Please take these “doing” suggestions at the end of each topic, they are
simple enough for you to start now!
