Financial literacy to see money making opportunities.

Being financially literate to see money-making opportunities put you on the road to being financially free from the daily struggle of getting money many have found themselves.

Financial literacy is the ability to understand and use financial skills to develop a plan, manage and invest for financial sustenance. Due to the lack of financial literacy, many people lament every day not knowing what to do to help them make extra money to meet their financial needs. The prices of goods may go up, and many may lose their jobs but those with good financial literacy will always know how to survive and live above the economic downturn in our world today.

Well in this article you will learn how to develop your financial literacy abilities to enable you to see opportunities to make money that is all around us but only a few people are able to see and take advantage of them. I have taken an interest to help you to be among the few who are taking advantage of the enormous opportunities available around us.

What are opportunities to make money?

Opportunities to make money are circumstances that come with needs or challenges, which have financial rewards when they are being met or solved.

For example, let's imagine you have a well in your house and someone was passing by your house with an empty gallon, looking for water to buy . This situation has two sides, the person holding the empty gallon has a need for water and you having a well in your house can be a solution to his need once you provide water for the person, he will reward you with money for helping him meet his needs.

Where are the opportunities to make money?

I have often heard people say, opportunities to make money always come in disguise but am telling you this old saying is not true.

Let's imagine for instance if a man is having a problem with his eye and he is not able to see images clearly, it is not the images that are not appearing clearly to his eye but it rather his eyes that lack the ability to see well.

This is the same with opportunities to make money, they are always available around us but our minds and eyes are not able to recognize them.

In the same way there are a lot of business opportunities available around us but we never see them until someone begins to do them.

Why can't we see this opportunity easily?

The reason is very clear, it is just because of the way the human mind reasons. The mind always goes in the direction in which it is shown.

Just like a car will only move in the direction the driver wants to go, so is the human mind.

Just by reading this article, you have begun to direct your mind towards learning how to recognize opportunities. 

Have you ever taken the time to know what's the relationship between the eye and the mind?

We actually don't see with our eyes, we see with our minds . Our eyes are the windows through which we see . According to science all the images that fall on the retina of the eye, are always turned upside down until the mind properly interprets what we see.

I brought all these to let us know, that the reason why we don't see the opportunities is not that our eyes don't see them, but it is just because our minds are not trained enough to understand them when our eyes are looking at them.

When the mind is not trained to see money-making opportunities, it will be seen as a problem for the person. That's why most people have settled to say opportunities are in disguise.

Yes, it is in disguise to those whose minds are not trained to recognize them when looking at them every day.

It is just like we see people every day but we don't know the names of most of them because our minds have never been fed with any information about their name. We are only able to provide the names of the ones our mind has a record of.

What then should be done so we see these opportunities to make money clearly.

1. Feeding your mind

Our minds must be fed with information that will let us begin to reason in a certain pattern when we see things around us. The first thing to know is, that everything on us costs money, the cloth we wear, shoes, phones, and everything we have on us and at home is a money making opportunity for someone. The mind has to begin to think in this direction .Do you know that anytime you buy something or pay for any services someone is becoming richer ?

2. Assist to meet a need.

Think of how many needs you can assist to meet around . You may not be the person who has the skill to meet the need you have seen or may not even have the funds to meet it but you can assist someone to meet the need. You may have seen a need and someone may have the resource or the skill to meet it, what you have to do is just to connect the one with the need to the person with the solution and once you assist to make these two work in harmony, you will earn a nice financial reward . Imagine you knew someone who is looking for a car to buy and you went to an auto car dealer to look for the car. You can negotiate the price to be reduced and the reduced amount will be your profit when the person buys the car at the original price. The car salesman will surely reduce the car for you because he stands the chance to get a buyer from you only if he gets you a reduction in price.

 

There are several needs we can assist to meet . You can go for a contract for a house to be painted and you look for a painter to do the painting for you.

When the job is done, the money will be paid to you and you in turn pay the painter.

This should be your first training in business on how to start and make money without spending a dim.

3. Help someone make money

This is one of the common ways to make money that banks and investment companies operate upon.

When you take your money to the bank and they trade or do business with it and give you a percentage of the profit. I recommend this way of making money to you if you have enough money to invest which you might not be needing now.

On the other hand,  there are several people around us who are making money by doing business which is fetching them money daily . You can also make money from anyone in that category. Here, you trade by helping them make money. The way to do it is by making a business deal. You go to any person who is already in business and ask them if I give you this amount of money to do business how much money will you give me every day or week or month depending on the agreement with the person. Most people are always looking for money to expand their business and they can't qualify for a bank loan so if you can help them make money, you are sure to get a share of their profit. Always document any business agreement and have a witness from both sides sign the document bearing proof of the agreement.

Now once you begin to carry these activities out, your mind will be calibrated in a direction that will enable you to see money where others can't see anything.

4. Courage to act.

After having the right information and the resource to start with, the only thing that will stop you from starting is courage. Let me share a short story with you, one day a young man went to meet a very rich man and told him he want to work for him but he will work for free and he will use the opportunity to learn from him. The rich man asked if he was really ready to do what he was saying and he said "yes". So the rich man told him to get his passport ready and fly with his workers for a business meeting in another country and he told him to cater for his own plane ticket since he has agreed to work for free. The man was worried because he never expected such a task on the first day of employment and the rich man noticed it and told the man something very remarkable.

He said many people will always tell you they want to be rich but the issue is this, they are never ready in their mind to do whatever it takes . To cut it short, the man took the challenge and he went for the business meeting today he is worth millions of dollars with several investments all around the world.

This might be the story of many people, they will express a desire to have an opportunity to make money. Some people will have all the best information and resources and will still not be really willing to take the courage to start. This is one of the reasons why many people are stuck in an unfulfilled job. They never have the courage to leave such work and start a better life.

With this information, I hope you have what to start working with to improve your financial literacy to see opportunities to make money. Thank you and please share with others to read too.
