Finances

Take a clear decision to make a profit

The temptation is there. But the opportunity to free ourselves from what has been an obstacle so far, is also present. The decision to which I refer may be one that has to do with choosing between an old way of being, and a new, more desired. For example, you can be when you realize that or is your story-the narrative to explain why you are where you are, or are your results. Or follow him energizing old excuses and rationalizations, or deliberately take action to move forward.

Why I have not done? Why am lockout? Why have I wasted so much time? Why … why … why?

Questions like these popping in my mind from time to time. They are the voice of my rational mind needs to understand what is happening. It is simply seeking to know the reasons behind my undesirable behaviors. Of course, behind these questions there is a premise that once you know, once understood, then I can change. Then I can do differently. Then I will not do (the behavior that bothers me).

And it can be. But it is not a requirement. In fact, is entirely optional. You can choose to change now, just because you choose. No need to understand the past before doing so. The only determining factor is this: you conscious about what I now want to experiment, and your willingness to take that choice into action.

The “why” you can find them later. But meanwhile, move. Make some things happen. Produced some results. Then, in the process or on the other side of your desires become reality, you can look back and understand what was happening before. O no.

In fact, you may never get to really know why-did-or did not do the things that define your behavior so far. There is no guarantee that you’ll find a rational answer to why your sabotage, the reasons for your paralysis, the purpose of your unwanted experiences. But this is certain: here and now, the only time there, you have a choice …

Or keep repeating the story or start creating a new victory. Here are ideas-box if you want you can also call-steps to help you connect with the consciousness from which you can move from stagnation to movement:

1. So what?
This is a powerful and potentially liberating inquiry: what?
You did not. Have you postponed again and again. You fought with your endurance. Lost time. Been afraid. You’ve been avoiding. All right. You behaved that way. Have you felt that way. You have chosen those paths.

Diligent study the Stock market

With older children must seek more creative methods to get their attention. In our case, when our teens we wanted to hear, apart from praying for them, we tried to adapt what they wanted to show their reality.

For example, if your children want to buy something, recharge their phones, or rent a movie and ask him for money, they can set limits (only paid a movie a month, or given “X” money by charging their cell phones) . Then they can be encouraged to find other ways of earning money is lacking. Your older children need to realize that they can earn money to pay for their expenses.

Once you have understood this, you can go to the next stage: to invest their earnings to create passive income sources. Parents can teach investing in mutual funds instead of simply opening a savings account with a very small interest rate.

They will listen if you have sweated the fat drop by winning their own bucks!

For example, our son started studying the stock market as well. He earned money by cutting grass and explained that if he knew how to invest your money, would be able to generate the same money of 10 cuts of grass in a day investing in stocks. That made sense and today is diligently studying the stock market.

Another thing parents can do is get to a level of “one on one” with their children and share the financial mistakes they have committed. It is also important to know what are the good choices they have made and what it has meant to their family life.

In the adolescent stage of children, is often best to ignore the role of parent controller and take a more humble before them, proving that one is as human as anyone else.

It is the right time to talk about the mistakes he made in the past, apologize if necessary and tell them you love them and want to not suffer the consequences of not having a solid financial education.

Teach children about the Financial problems of education

Financial education is an issue that unfortunately is not in the most traditional education curricula. If parents wish to prepare their children in the area of ​​finance, have to do it without the help of educational institutions.

Many parents are not even aware of this great gap in the education of their children and trust they will learn to manage money on their own as adults. Unfortunately statistics show that this does not happen automatically, as we would assume. If anyone cares to teach, our children will be illiterate in the financial area.

Today the state is alarming youth indebtedness. According to a survey INJUV (National Institute of Youth), more than half of young Chileans between 15 and 29 have debt and 57% of them are behind on payments. Not a very encouraging figure when it comes to financial education. The need to prepare our youth to successfully manage money as adults, is in sight.

They must learn to live within a budget, have the habit of saving and should have basic knowledge of investment to enable them to leverage its resources.However, even parents who are aware of this great need in the education of their children, they face another obstacle: the lack of interest of their children for money issues.

What If Your Kids are not interested in Finance?

Many parents write to me and I am asked this question. Are parents who have recognized the importance of developing money management skills in their children, but, in practice, do not know how. Finances are an issue that seems to be unattractive for our children. Outside of spending money in their pleasures, does not seem to deserve greater time commitment.

Determine victory or defeat in the Business

Some people believe that their existence means that they must follow. There are those who are lost in the game and mistake their meaning. Only those who understand the purpose of these manifest the “alchemy” turning what for most is a hardship, as for those who succeed is an opportunity.

Obstacles. Problems. Challenges. Challenges. Adversity. Crisis.

Why? “Why me?”, Some say.
Understanding the reasons and causes that something to manifest in your life is useful if the search becomes clear and change. Better clarity to make your course and change to be more effective in achieving what you want.

But most people, when asked the reason for their distress becomes trapped in guilt. Or at least, in the sense of self-esteem undermined by the reality of the moment.

First look why, is of greater value to explore why.

More than reason, is a question of purpose. What is the purpose of the obstacles? What is the purpose?

Some will tell you is to leave the road. Argue that the barriers are an indication that there is not the way. The more negative, say that failures are proof that you have nothing.

But who talk like that?

Those who have not achieved their dreams. Those who have fallen behind. Those who have made a pale version of what they once believed was possible. Ask someone who is living your life fully. Interrogates has triumphed. Seek advice that the other side of failure. Explore why you think that exudes full.

The idea that came to mind to act in the business

Why are we so wedded to find where it is? Do want to find where there? Did you ever happened that you’re obsessed with something or someone you worried or concerned, fighting to die, even leaving your own comfort and quiet, and suddenly becomes so consuming that you prefer to stop, and suddenly when you least expect it all works out in your favor?

Alchemically transforms our lives when we stop giving so much power to the outside and focus on being with us. Anything you put in your mind expands, whether good or bad. And usually by being so focused on what is outside of us, any adverse event or circumstance enlarges and therefore we generate more noise and restlessness.

I know people who care so much, but as for what happens outside of them: so says the neighbor, if the couple spoke to him, because he saw a “twinkie” with another, so the news said or what he read in the newspaper, which eventually forgetting the most important person, themselves.

Some time ago one of my lectures a father stood in the audience, took the microphone and the audience shared a phrase that I maintain in my life: “Many say that after the storm comes the calm, but not all realize that this storm may be much shorter if they understand that inside has always been calm and peace, that storm has always been outside, never inside. “

That’s why when someone comes asking for some kind of emotional support always recommend that if you look inside them, use less time and gain more life.

Tibetan monks need not be to understand that when we cling to the outside or even the decisions of others that even us to judge, or when we want to fight to cling to something that is not, the result is always the same: discomfort, noise, emotional exhaustion. Consequently a half-life.

Ability to Communicate via the Web

Many people would love to make money writing for the Internet. They know that the primary language on the Internet is the written language, despite the advent of audio and video on the web.

In the case of business management has allowed us to reach a global market with products and services that once were confined to a specific geographic area.

Consequently, the ability to communicate creatively and persuasively through the web is highly prized. However, texts are often found on the Internet of excellent quality that are overlooked, while other texts, less informative, capture the attention of visitors.

Why are these texts lack any appeal to their readers, if they have such high-level content?

Forget your language teacher
The problem is that the authors know the basics of writing for the Internet. Apply the knowledge they have to present their knowledge through printed material, not knowing that other rules governing the Internet that our teachers did not teach language.

No longer enough to have facility with languages ​​and excellent communication skills with words. You have to know how to present properly on the Internet. Do not think for a minute that his writings “offline” will capture the attention of online readers.

When writing for the web, it is dangerous to assume that their readers will be dazzled with his writing.

The reality is that most people who visit your text will not be willing to read everything you write. You will navigate your content with a quick glance, and if anything catches your attention, is very likely to push it away with a mouse click, never to return.
