When I was growing up, I believed that hard work is all it takes to be rich, but the older I get the more I realize that to become rich is not always about hard work. Don’t get me wrong some people build their Wealth through hard work, they show up every day and in the process, they earn a lot of money, put the money into something that generates more money for them, and before they clock 50 years they already retire. What I’m saying here is that you still need to work hard but it doesn’t always have to be hard work.
One of the greatest books I’ve read is Think and Grow Rich. If you noticed this book did not tell you to work hard and grow rich, even though some of us still have to work hard to grow rich, the first thing is you have to use your head. Most people who become rich today started with a great idea and they end up implementing the idea and that idea makes them rich because it’s not always about hard work sometimes you have to think.
Money starts with a good idea
We have so many people with a bright idea on how to make money but they are scared to implement it. I have come to realize that if you can’t implement your idea you are likely going to be stuck in life. You will keep working hard without seeing any results at the end of the day or you have to work hard for so many years and retire at an old age, but with a bright idea, you can retire in five years. Hard work will indeed give you money but an idea will give you life-changing money.
Money is always about emotion and psychology, even for you to invest your money you still have to think about the project you are investing your money in. how much risk you can take, and how it will help you to be financially free. You still have to use your head to build your portfolio when you want to get rich through the route of investing or building gradually. Money is always about what you think and mostly your idea which is a simple strategy for you to change your life.
Hard work and an idea
Not all of us are born with business ideas that can change our lives easily, but you can always put your money on those with a brilliant idea. That is why we have things like the stock market where you can buy a lot of ideas and grow your portfolio from there. Each company you see on the stock market started up with an idea and implemented it. There’s nothing wrong with you working hard to gather money, but you must also think of ways to multiply that money so that inflation will not kill you gradually.
Money is an idea and it’s not always about how hard you can work. It is how hard you can think there are always opportunities around you to make a lot of money and you don’t have to kill yourself to come up with a great idea, you can always buy shares and invest in people‘s ideas. You can start investing in small businesses, real estate, the stock market, and grow from there. Even after doing all these things you still have to be careful because you have to think very well not to make mistakes. 
Thanks for your time.
