Are You Left Or Right Or Wrong Or Right?

Strange title for a post I know, but this relates DIRECTLY to your efforts at making money online as an internet marketer.  As you read this, please refer to the diagram above.

Communism VS Capitalism

As a business person, you will very likely agree with me when I say that making money is not only good, but it’s probably the best way to demonstrate your personality, because to get money you have to do it in one of fiveways:

1. Take the money

2. Wager for money

3. Invent the money

4. Persuade for money

5. Trade for money

Take

This is what thieves and politicians do.  They simply take the result of your labors, the only difference being that the politicians tell you that they’ll spend your money wisely.

Wager

You might initially think I’m talking about betting on horses or going to Las Vegas, but this is only the TINY fraction of where the BIG money is gambled.  Wall Street, the London Stock Exchange and the other 50 exchanges around the world are where TRILLIONS of dollars change hands as people gamble on whether stocks will be worth more or less each day.  When they get it right, they make lots of money.  When they get it wrong, taxpayers lose money (this is a joke………..kinda).

Invent

All world governments invent money.  When they can’t take it by force or with threats of force, and when no other country will lend them money (often in the form of goods) they will simply print it.  This, of course, can only lead to inflation, where your country’s currency is devalued because of over-supply.

Persuade

Persuasion is used by con-men, otherwise known as confidence tricksters.  They use a combination of fear, guilt and greed to get you to part with your money.  ALL confidence tricks are based on these three emotions.  All charities such as Churches use  these same emotions to get contributions, but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

Trade

This is where YOU come in.  Instead of getting your money in the way that the scum above get theirs, YOU have chosen to create something of value (be it a training course, an ebook or whatever) or you spend your time looking for great products produced by other people and promote them on their behalf as an affiliate, bringing VALUE to both the product buyer and the product owner.

Communist Or Capitalist?

I struggled for many years trying to decide if was a left-wing socialist thinker, or a right-wing capitalist thinker.  Take a look at the diamond chart above.  As you can see, and what I finally realized, that it’s not about being left or right, communist or capitalist AT ALL.  It’s about being controlled (by communists OR capitalists) or NOT being controlled.  It’s about freedom to do whatever you want, so long as you don’t harm anybody else DELIBERATELY.

Think about what’s in the diagram.  I’d love to hear what you think about it.
