Over the next week, I want to talk about money cycles.
Money is a storage device created over hundreds of years. Money has evolved over the period of time and has many rule changes that have confused what money really is.
In my opinion, Money is just a storage idea. As a farmer when I first started my working life, I learned about storage and exchange. I will share this story to see if I can give you a better understanding of what I’m saying.
The farm my first wife’s family owned was a cropping, sheep, pigs and cattle farm. It was a large farm just over 10,000 acres. To say it was busy and took a lot of time and energy would be an understatement. Having all the different segments of farming, there was always exchanging going on between the segments. We would grow wheat, barley and lupins to feed the farm animals to grow meat and wool for sales to the Australian market. This would allow for the storage of all the time and energy put into the different segments of the farming. Great cycles between the farming segments allowing for growing animals and crop cycles. Now I want to buy a tractor or food I don’t grow.
What do I do? There was a time (and still is a times) when I would give a pig and get something in exchange .. maybe the pig would be traded for a chocolate cake. The cake tastes great but hardly good exchange for a pig. So I would get an agreement to say that only a portion of the pig was payment for the cake….
Here the thing…… what portion? How do I decide value provided? Part of me would give 2 pigs for a great chocolate cake, and then I realized… the pig’s weight is ten times greater and would feed a family for 2 weeks. Doesn’t seem like a good value deal.
The chocolate cake isn’t just good, it’s great….. and the pig is just good…. Now what do I do?
I could spend all day getting an agreement to exchange the pig for the cake. Big waste of time and energy.
Another thing to consider…. How do you determine how much tax to pay to the government when considering the Pig and the Cake? Oh.. don’t worry about the government about the exchange between the Pig and the cake…. They wouldn’t care and it doesn’t matter.Oh….. But then who is going to build the roads so we take the pig and cake to the market?There are so many questions and answers to turn the greatest minds on the planet into knots of razors blades. Sounds and is a very dangerous thought.
This is why money is one of the most genius ideas of all ages.As a farmer, I sold my excess for my purpose ……eg: gains, animals, wools and meat for money. I would store my money in a bank and retrieve at a later date for when I wanted to buy products that I wanted like the chocolate cake.
Instead of trying to work out how much of the pig was being portioned for the trade of the chocolate cake, I now have a dollar value the owner of the chocolate cake wants in exchange…. saving me time , money and energy.
What a great system….
1. I store my farm products sold now in the form of money in a bank
2. I ‘m able to draw money at different points of time
3. Allowing me to exchange for what I want
4. At different points in time
5. Allowing ease of decision making,
6. Saving time, and energy
- Money is really a wondrous IDEA!!!!
- It has built-in Agreements
- Pre-determined Exchange
- And has Repeated for centuries
This is a great Entrepreneurial thought someone had …….an Idea ……created Agreements to work with ………agreed on the Exchange and like every great Entrepreneurial idea, it turns into a business system that now repeats. Becoming the biggest business idea on planet earth =
Money Exchange
Like all things in the last 100 years, the world is changing at a speed most humans don’t understand and have a hard timing having any feeling in the matter. Money Exchange as a Mechanism is misunderstood and has become dangerously polluted in my opinion. Take the Time and get educated or suffer your ignorance in a lot of pain, humiliation, and despair.
The money system has made money more important than any human. Like it or not, Money in today’s world is more important that “YOU or ME” for that matter.
For “ME” a painful “My-Truth”
Stay TUNED over the next week….. we are going to breakdown the Money Exchange System into Money:
1. Earned
2. Raised
3. Won
4. Gifted
5. Sales Made
6. Invested Against Time, Energy and Money itself
Until then, make a difference. I have never seen more opportunity than I seen today, mainly due to this great system.
