A Valuable Lesson

The way you view money will either free you or enslave you... in other words the way you think about money is an important factor of wealth.

The true value of a dollar coin is not its numerical value but how you use it. If you gave 30 people a $1.00 coin and gave each one 7 days to see what they can produce, do you think you would get different results?
Of course, so even though everyone received the same amount of money it had little bearing on how much they made.

So true wealth, comes from the six inches between your ears and, how well you use it. Wouldn't it be prudent to spend less time working for money and more time learning how to think about it's value and how to use it.

You see the secret is, not how hard you work, but how smart you think.

Grab a $1.00 coin, double it, what do you get $2.00, now double $2.00 you get $4.00 and so on. Now keep repeating this mathematical exercise. It's amazing that after doubling your $1.00 coin 21 times, you will actually end up with $1,000,000,000 dollars.

Now from that simple exercise might it be that wealth is the result of hard work, or hard saving over a period of time or is it simply $1.00 and you only need one good idea that you simply repeat 21 times?

To me the most logical answer is, what ever you did to turn $1.00 into $2.00 repeat that process another 21 times.
