Does money truly make the world go round?

I had an inspiration today and wanted to share my thoughts with you regarding this subject: "Does money truly make the world go 'round"?

Many will say it does. after all, we've been using the money system ever since the Phoenicians, perhaps long before that. We can't seem to get a loaf of bread without it at the local supermarket, much less pay the rent or mortgage.

Those with money seem to enjoy the rewards associated with work to the fullest. Those fortunate enough to have inherited it or gotten break may say that money, in effect, is "what makes the world go 'round". Anyone who has struggled long and hard to get it, invest it wisely and amassed great wealth may also hold this view.

But, think about it: "Does money really make the world go 'round?".
If it does, why is the idle (unproductive) rich so miserable? Why do the rich and famous seem to struggle with constant addictions--"luxuries" the pauper cannot afford-- legal issues and depression? If money truly makes the world go 'round', shouldn't these evils merely go away by paying the right clinic, the right attorney or shrink?

Yes, money does help a lot. Our modern world's economy is based on it. It's what made most barter systems impractical, cancers more tolerable and modern day comforts more attainable. It's what most people desperately need and few of us seem to have. "If I could just have a few more thousands dollars...boy...would I be really happy!", is what most of us in financial need or desperation seem to wish.

Money is a very needed commodity. It has made life as we know it possible. But money is not what makes the world go 'round. It's trust. Think about it. We find ourselves in a recession. There is actually lots of money out there to go around. But it doesn't go around: No! not really. only drips and drabs it seem, just enough to "get by". Why?: lack of trust, lack of confidence.

The banks don't seem to want to lend you money, even if you have excellent credit. The "big three" auto makers, can't even "give" their cars away, despite all the incentives and are filing for bankruptcy.

So if there's all this money "out there to go around", why doesn't it go around? It's lack of trust.

You see, trust is the steam behind money. It's the "catalyst". A great American philosopher called L. Ron Hubbard said: "Money is an idea backed by confidence". This idea became a note with a symbolism attached to it. Money symbolizes wealth, a legal note which is exchangeable for goods and services, a unit of exchange. Such is practical and is a commodity. it can be traded, sold, borrowed, used for payment, etc.

But without trust behind it, it loses all of this significance or symbolism. It is merely a nice looking peace of paper, that without any value can be used for wall papering. witness what happened to Italy and Germany after World War 2. Nobody wanted franks or lires. It was absolutely worthless. One wheelbarrow's contents of this stuff couldn't even buy a loaf of bread!

What happened really. These 2 governments were desperate to buy goods and services as their own were non existent. This was a great war of attrition for these 2 countries as well as Japan. When you really think about it, we beat them economically more so than with weapons. After that the whole world learned a big lesson: "He who has the most finances wins the war".

Do you know why The Soviet Union was dissolved? It wasn't just Reagan shouting: Mr. Gorbachev please bring down that wall!" The Star Wars arms race made them go bankrupt! They simply wised up and said: "Go ahead U.S. you keep on making them weapons. we'll just use our money to survive!" Hard to believe but true.

The world no longer trusted the frank or the lire. Good old american dollars reigned back then and during Star Wars. The Russian rubel wasn't trusted by Soviet allies. They would rather trade with the U.S. Dollars were trusted. American allies and even Soviet supporters welcomed the "almighty dollar". Just as the German and the Italian trading partners were afraid that these countries would just keep on printing more bills as the answer to their economic woes,
so were they afraid of the Soviets pulling the same stunt. They had actually started to inflate their currency by printing. the rest of the world said: "No more rubels!"

The almighty dollar is accepted because it is trusted. it is actually the prefered method of payment internationally despite claims that the Euro is. Don't believe it? Have you heard of the expression "When the U.S. sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold"? Well, what happened to the rest of the world when Bush announced that were were actually in a recession? Catastrophe in all the world markets. That's what happened!

The dollar, for the first time in a long time was on shaky grounds. Speculators and profiteers now
went through all kinds of motions to discredit the faith on the dollar and make a buck with euros. Then make a buch again when the dollar stabilized.

I took a good hard look at this pattern of money, not just in recent times, but throughout our history, and it holds true: trust is the foundation of the value of money. Trust is what sells a product: the buyer trusts that he will get at least his money's worth and the seller trusts that the checkj is good or that the bills are not counterfit. Trust, trust, trust.

And, that is all that money is. It's a man made invention---convenient as it is-- but still man-made, and the push behind it is trust (confidence). That is what stalls money. It's there, but it isn't "encouraged" by trust. There is not enough confidence out there in present time to make it go around enough for all our sakes.

So what do you do? Create confidence! Do whatever ligitimately possible to get your buyer trust you:

Are you selling an old re-hashed sytem sold by all the gurus out there that just doesn't work despite all the hype? Well, develop something that actually works, if your affiliate products don't deliver, or research, research and research until you know for sure people will get results! Remember, it's a give and take when it comes to trust (buyer and seller).

Am I just talking hype?

Google "roll up shutters Miami". Go ahead, just copy and paste it. I won't give you the link as it's not proof enough. You'll find " Exacta Tech Inc." as your first organic search. I'm not paying a dime and was able to rank it as number one!

Go ahead: google "aluminum roofs Miami" in google or yahoo, I'll be in the top.

How did I do it you ask? How did I build enough trust to go from a few measly hundred bucks a week to thousands a week in sales in a rotten economy?

What's stopping you

I just got this e mail today from Jonathan Bud, a true Internet marketer.
Although it's hardhitting and stings, I wanted to share it with you.
Maybe it'll rouse you into ACTION. It had that effect on me:

"Hey Carlos,

Today I'm going to be sharing
something with you that is very
powerful when it comes to
overcoming BLOCKAGES that stop
us from creating success.

You see, I have been fortunate
enough at this point to witness
THOUSANDS of people in this
industry, and how they go about
building their businesses, and
living their lives.

And what I've come to realize
in about 95% of the cases...is
that the SOLE REASON more people
aren't 'Creating' the reality
they truly want for themselves...

Is because they are all Blocked
up inside and feel like something
is preventing them from taking
the ACTION they know they need
to take.

Or... when they LEARN what their
next real steps are to move
forward in their business... they
don't do them.

It's a truly strange phenomenon.

On one hand... people seem to
want freedom so badly.

On the other... they don't take
the correct action steps you need
to take everyday to get it.

In any case... I am not here to
ponder why that is.

I am here to DESTROY IT.

I am here to serve as a guide for
you to confront anything in your
life that is presently STOPPING
you from creating what it is you
want... So you can move forward
with a Speed and Vengeance.

AND BAR NONE...

This is how you overcome obstacles
that are facing you in your life.

You simply JUST STOP believing the
bull crap excuses you tell yourself
for why you CAN'T do something.

That Is It.

That is the FUNDAMENTAL thing you
have to do, and it will make the
biggest difference in your life.

Let me give you an example...

If you're on my list then you know
I've made millions of dollars in
this industry because of 'Marketing'
skills, and my ability to generate
an ENORMOUS amount of leads daily
from the Internet.

You should also know... that I didn't
just "sit around" and wait for those
leads to come to me... I went out and
GOT THEM.

So if you know that you need to be
doing marketing, whether its putting
up your first PPC ads, making your
first YouTube videos, Creating your
twitter profile, or whatever it might
be...

WHAT THE HECK IS STOPPING YOU FROM
DOING IT?

The only thing in the world that is...

Is the BULL CRAP excuses you tell
yourself for why you can't do it, or
why it won't work for you.

When in reality... you don't have
ANYTHING to back that up, and simply
lack the experience to know one way
or another.

The ONLY way you get experience, which
is knowledge, is to DO THINGS.

You must TAKE ACTION.

You must experience LIFE.

You must experience the CHALLENGE of
learning something new or foreign.

There is no Other Way around it. It's
that darn simple...

And most often, the movement of ACTION
is enough to propel someone down an
entirely different course of direction
in their life.

It's as if the simple fact you are
MOVING, and DOING, is enough to get
a ball rolling that builds up its own
force and can't be stopped.

Yet...

The vast majority remain in 'Paralysis'.

They remain locked up inside their own
heads, muttering mental excuses all day
long, or indulging in 'Insecure' thoughts
that simply prevent them from DOING what
needs to be done.

Well, you have a choice today.

The very fact you are reading these words
right now, and AWARENESS is being brought
to this very subject, gives you a choice.

You have the choice to JUST STOP.

You can stop believing the BS you tell
yourself that keeps you from doing what
you NEED to do.

And you can open up a new web browser,
create your PPC account, Create your
twitter profile, buy the damn course you
need to learn how to do it, and then
get off your butt and MAKE IT HAPPEN.

You have that choice.

Your other choice is...

You continue to pudder around being
overwhelmed by information yet getting
no where, you continue to let the days
go by as your frustration and tension
mount over your lack of results, and
you can continue to beat yourself up
silently because YOU aren't living up
to your own expectations of what you
thought you could do.

Blunt?

You bet.

Is it what many need to hear?

You bet.

And I'm not a teacher or mentor that
is here to sugar coat things.

I am a teacher and mentor that is hear
to SHAKE people out of their own excuses,
and slam them into the SEAT of their own
power.

Because the truth of the matter is...

The very FACT that you are a human being,
means that you have a MAJESTIC power at
your fingertips.

The human being, and all of life, is so
mysterious... so vast... so powerful...

That it simply boggles the mind when
we even come close to grasping it.

You are MORE CAPABLE of creating anything
you want in life then you might ever have
even imagined...

Yet I SEE IT.

I see it clear as day. And I'm here to
remind you of your ESSENTIAL power.

I'm here to remind you that you are a
VASTLY creative being... who is truly
capable of amazing feats.

So stop acting like you're not.

Stop being stuck in indifference, laziness,
and states of inaction.

JUST STOP.

And instead... let your ACTIVE intelligence,
and the INFORMATION you find on how to
really create success, be your guide to the
correct action steps you need to take to
get there.

You don't have to re invent the wheel my
friend. The path to wild success has already
been laid out by many people.

You just need to walk it.

If you need help, visit this link now and
You'll have MORE then enough information,
knowledge, and wisdom to guide you wherever
you want to be...

But most importantly... quit selling yourself
short. You're a magical being, capable of
amazing things.

ACT like it...

We'll speak again soon.

Yours In Success,
Jonathan Budd

P.S. It honestly is amazing, but if you
just get yourself into the routine of
tacking ACTION, no matter what that action
really is... I can guarantee a momentum will
build that can CARRY you to where you want
to be.

And like I said, if you need help knowing
exactly which way to travel down, visit
this site now..."

I'll be giving you the link to Jonatahn Bud in a few days. In the meantime, chew on the above and come back to this blog.
