Smothered in Awesome Sauce!

People who aren’t rich are always wondering how to make more money.  This causes a lot of suffering.  When we think about our richer future selves we take what we have right now for granted. When we are not grateful we suffer.

I was lucky to have a very smart and wealthy person tell me how to do it right. I was skeptical at first but I finally made it mine to share.

This is the right order to do things:

1. Solve a problem.
2. Build credibility and respect.
3. Respect will give you power and influence.
4. Power will reward you with money.

Most people have it wrong: get money, power comes from money and respect from power. They don’t solve anybody’s problems, including their own.

Knowing the right order is just the first step. The second is to enjoy building your success.

We have six core needs for fulfillment:

1. The need for certainty
2. The need for variety
3. The need to feel significant
4. The need for love and connection
5. The need for growth
6. The need to contribute

If each step does not fulfill some of your needs it is time to make changes.

1. Solving problems - needs #2, #3 and #5.
2. Respect and Credibility -  needs #3, #4 and #6.
3. Power - needs #3 and #5.
4. Money - needs #1, #3 and #6.
