Confirms many observations I’ve made from a couple of year ago regarding the subject.
I personally concluded that “Money is an idea backed by confidence”. Many people have ideas and ideas get generated every day by all humans however as to how many ideas gets the confidence of a boardroom (investors/agreement) is another level. I like this article as it talks and touches the exchange factor which money creates and I believe the confidence then enables the idea to be exchanged from concept to implementation, not only in a form of money and what it can do (resources) but people. I consult a lot for NGOs in disadvantaged areas where members work most times without stipends or salaries but because of the confidence of the idea which they are doing they continue doing it. That confidence in the idea enables them to create the money because with good PR of their work money always shows up somewhere somehow. This then also brings me to partly agree with the article in the statement that money is more important than you (human being) … I think that as much as it might seem to be like that its actually not. This is coming from a young black disadvantage entrepreneur who started an internet cafe business from nothing but an idea with friends which we then clubbed together to have 10 computers, a multi purpose printing machine. We were youth with no business knowledge and experience though because of our idea of having an internet cafe in our township when there wasn’t even a single internet cafe. We talked to everyone about the concept of internet cafe, made demonstrations of how it will all work and be put together until we got the resources and yes this included family and friends. The cafe was sold three years later because of other reasons (management issues – a different slice of cake). I then started a brick manufacturing company from nothing but a BBBEE enterprise development deal (after 3 yrs of trying to securing funding and being sent from pillar to post) and after 2 years of operations I sold it to a civil organization that was expanding to start a pallet manufacturing company again with very little resource which is growing nicely together. My point is this “not having money is not the best place to be “I know that from personal experience and having growing around people who don’t have much of it (if any) and yet having to tour the world (in economy class to business class) as a professional dancer and dance teacher staying in 5 star hotels because of having to perform for high profiles and seeing the amount of money they had to making friends who are millionaires whilst keeping my friends I grow up with from township” ….. history is full of people who made millions and billions because of someone else believing in them …. Whether that person who believed in them had money or had to tap into someone else who had money it doesn’t matter much, what matters is that there are people out there who have money who wants to shared it (genuinely) and there are those who don’t want to share it (genuinely – still). Whether this world is full of those who wants to share it or not is a debate which science won’t tell you stats for though I conclude to the principle that you’ll attract what you seek (whether you know exactly what you’re attracting or not is another story for another day). This principles applies also in the banking system because its people who at the end of the day operates that system. I’ve had banking consultants help me acquire all necessary documentations because I sold them into my story and life about what i am doing and because of having to exude that passion for what i do. Even though the system allows or tried to kick me out because of not having all documentations, depending on how you approached the person and introduced yourself and how you get your ideas to the next being ….

I thank your article and acknowledge your “painful truth” ….. I believe people are bigger and brighter than that and once you pitch your idea in accordance to their reality or create space to invite them to your reality with high affinity and good communication then you’ll have money … ALWAYS!!! I’ve learned that in the few businesses that I have started only one good thing has been my BIGGEST resources/asset after the idea and that is – CREATING AFFINITY with people THROUGH EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION. History has a full account of companies that has fallen only because of improper customer service so PUSH (Push Until Something Happens).

“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” – 100% CORRECT
