3 Powerful Secrets to Changing Your Money Blueprint for Financial Freedom

 When we have obsolete ideas we get obsolete results

Robert Kiyosaki

Some of those obsolete ideas that most people still hold today are; 

• Money is the root of all evil
• Live within your means
• Work hard to make money
• Save money for the rainy day
• Make good grades in school if you want to be rich

Drop one that you know in the comment below.

When people of the Christian religion say that money is the root of all evil they back it up with a quote from the scripture, but they unconsciously remove the 'love' in their understanding of the passage.  Some translations of the scriptures call it 'the lust', it reads

For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows.

1Timothy 6:10 AMP

Why will I want to put all the effort to live within my means when the same effort can expand my means, it doesn't make sense. Worst still is working hard to get rich, saving for the rainy days, or hoping to save enough to be counted as rich. When you save for a rainy day, you make it inevitable for the rain to come, and when the rain comes as it will surely come you will spend what you had saved and go back to square one if not square zero.

Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life. 

Rhonds Byrne

A blueprint is something intended as a guide for doing something else. So, your money blueprint is your frame of reference, the way you have been programmed over time to view, respond to or treat money. It doesn’t just end there, it is your financial blueprint that will determine if you will ever get rich or struggle your entire life.  A well-set, money or wealth blueprint doesn’t make money the end goal, it's a vehicle that can be used to help you achieve your personal, career, or business goals in life. 

3 Ways How to Change Your Money Blueprint for Financial Success

1. Don’t Save, Invest

A good woman (or man) is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. She (or he) looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she's (he's) put aside, plants a garden.

 Proverbs 31:10,16 (emphasise are mine)

If you must save, save for investment, or for a specific developmental project. Never save for a rainy day because thoughts are powerful and will soon become a reality if you dwell on them long enough.  Don’t be a saver be an investor.  The rich invest and consequently get richer whereas the poor and middle class save and hence remain poor and consumption-oriented.  The truth is that there is no incentive for saving money anywhere in the world.  If you doubt me go to your bank and apply for a loan on your savings account no matter how much is in the account or how long you have religiously maintained the account.  If any bank gives the loan on a savings account then you can discard all you have ever read on this blog and never come back again.  What about the interest paid on the savings account you may want to ask? Then I will ask you, what is the interest your bank is paying you and what is the inflation rate in your country, and the stability of your currency?  Let us know in the comment box below.  But from our calculations and findings, you are the one who pays the banks for saving your money because inflation is always higher than the interest paid on a saving account at a maximum of 4% per annual. 

2. Work Smart

Observe people who are good at their work—skilled workers are always in demand and admired; they don't take a back seat to anyone.

Proverbs 22:29

Working hard may have worked for my grandfather’s generation but not this generation. In this generation working hard alone is no longer enough but must be mixed with working innovatively as well.  A hard-working smart worker will thrash a hard worker any day any time.  My grandfather, for instance, was strong and a hardworking man. The story has it that he tills his farmland with two hoes at the same time.  I wonder what is if that is not a show of strength and class.  For those who don’t know what it means to till the soil, see the image below.  

We were told my grandfather does that with one hoe on his right hand and another on his left.  The result of his strength and hard work shows in his yam bans after harvest.  He was judged wealthy in his time.  But I want to ask you, how many hoes will one need to till with today to beat a man that has just one tractor working on his farm? Four hoes? Smile.  You will agree with me that even if you can hold four hoes at the same time, the man with just one plough on his farm will outperform you by far.  That is the difference between working hard and working smart.  Today some still see gargets like smartphones as luxury items used to show class as against it being a tool for productivity.  Let me put it clearly when we advocate smart work, we are not saying that you should be lazying around or sit behind a laptop and look for whom to scam or abandon what you are doing to pursue a career in the tech space if that is not your calling. No! 

All we are saying by working smart is to add a bit of innovation to anything you are doing.  Deploy technology and innovativeness to your work or business where necessary and available.  For example, if you have a small business and it is not yet online, it is time to take it global by putting it on the Internet.  Click the image below to get a domain at the best price and discounts we have secured for you or contact us via the contact form if you need help setting it up. 

3. Value Money

But godliness actually is a source of great gain when accompanied by contentment [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the sufficiency of God].

1 Timothy 6:6

This is very important; as a matter of fact, it’s the most important of the three because if you don’t value money it will not come to you. Money only flows to where it is being valued and celebrated.  Most people love money but don’t value it. The difference is in the way people go about its acquisition.  Every inordinate pursuit of money is a show of people’s love of money. A man that loves money can do anything under heaven to acquire it; including killing and stealing from others and the country. Don't love money BUT value money. The man that values money creates value and systems that attract and nurture money. The easiest way to do that is to find problems, solve them, and build a business around the solutions you provide.  Love of money puts you in constant and inordinate pursuit of money for your self-aggrandizement, but valuing money makes you seek a problem and provide solutions to the problem, automatically, money will love you and chase after you instead.
