Today I just woke up at 5 am on a Sunday morning and a weird thoughts visited me: what is money, REALLY?.
Money is endless comfort, exotic vacations, luxury cars, freedom, multi locational real estate, endless fashion and beauty, money is everywhere around us, so what is MONEY???
Some say money is simply a gratitude but I think its more. Money really is a display of TRUST . Its when people trust you enough to perform the service and the more they pay you the bigger is their trust.
If a person is popular then he might seem familiar and its easier to trust someone familiar. My friend follows this YouTuber for 3 years now, and they’ve become quite a name in the circle of “success coaching”. So every once in awhile this person would roll out different product : every new one more expensive than the next one! – so what do you think she does???.. She purchased the most expensive one just recently.
Was she saying a simple Thank You? In my opinion it was beyond that. You see, with time we grow to trust people, once these people prove to us their consistency and proof of concept we then give them a proof of our TRUST = OUR MONEY.
So here are a few ways how to foster and grow trust:(so that your money grows with it):
Always be working hard to earn it.
Be vulnerable
Work on your personal growth
Keep promises in timely and complete fashion
Be supportive
Be self confident
Build upon commonalities
Trust as a verb means “to believe.” If you believe in something or someone, then you have confidence in them. Unlike a cartoon character that just needs to be there to be believable, we as people can be either trustworthy or…not.
To gain trust, we must be believable enough so that another will have confidence in our ability to do our part, and to follow through on THEIR expectations.
Also if you think about it when we build trust we actually build a relationship. When do people want a relationship with you?
When it’s mutually beneficial
When you want what’s best in that persons interest, showing care, concern and compassion!
When the relationship itself is more important than disagreements
When it brings out the best in you, such qualities as tolerance, patience, kindness, and truthfulness.
When you invest effort, time communication, commitment, and reliability
When you give more than what you receive
When you respect each other: be it their experience, background, values, beliefs, needs, their mind ect.
When you help each other to achieve your goals – forging alliances to work together for long term outcome
