“I don’t have the time!”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, if you don’t, in theory, neither do I. You see, time is the one constant that all us human beings have. After all, we each have the same 86,400 seconds per day to do what we need, want, and have to do.<\/p>\n

Somebody once said that life gives us only two things: opportunity<\/strong> and time.<\/strong> Now, when you think about the old adage, time is money<\/em><\/span>, can you see how that really means that life gives us money?<\/p>\n

If you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, that might not seem right, but it really is. See, whenever you do something, or get something, you use up one or more of three resources: time<\/span>, money<\/span> or energy<\/span>.<\/p>\n

And really, since everything in the Universe is made up of energy at a quantum level, all three of those are energy. So let’s take energy out of the equation and say that you either use (spend) time or money. Always. Every second of the day. All 86,4000 of them.<\/p>\n

In return, you get a certain level of value back (another form of energy). You can trade time for sleep (value), trade money for food (value), trade time and money for a date with someone special (value), and on and on.<\/p>\n

Now, you know from high school physics class that energy can not be created or destroyed; it can only change forms. So when we say we “make money<\/strong>” or “make time<\/strong>” for something<\/span>, what it really means is that we’ve effectively turned one into the other… or another type of value into one… or one into more of the same.<\/p>\n

Huh?<\/p>\n

If that’s about as clear as mud, just stick with me for a minute (see, I’m asking you to give me some of your time… and I’ll give you value in return, in the form of some thought-provoking information).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Cont’d<\/span> –<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Look, if you work a job for a paycheck, you’ve obviously traded time for money. But if you clear your schedule to do something important to you, you’ve traded time for more valuable time.<\/p>\n

If you spend (or invest) money to make more money over the course of time, you’ve traded both time and money for more money… but the time spent didn’t take any effort, because you were just waiting for it all to happen.<\/p>\n

And the more money you can make using that method, the more you’re essentially buying time. See, you don’t have to put 6 months of your own time into an investment that’s going to pay off during that time frame, you just have to put time into a little due diligence to see if it’s really a good investment. Then the money works on its own<\/em><\/span> in the background.<\/p>\n

And the reason money buys time is, when you have money, you don’t have to worry about trading time for it anymore. Now you’ve got both already. That’s where the phrase “the idle rich” came from.<\/p>\n

So when you say, “I don’t have time,” it really means that you haven’t figured out how to properly leverage the time you do have. You either don’t know what you value, or you don’t know how to effectively make that time give you that value.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sure, we’re all busy. But the more money you can make by wisely spending a bit of time, and a bit of money, the more time you’ll also have in the long run.<\/p>\n

Now, here’s something really weird: sometimes we have members of our alternative investments club<\/a><\/strong> who say they don’t have time to invest. They think they don’t have time to put their money to work for them, when they joined the club precisely to put their money to work and free up time.<\/p>\n

Ironic, isn’t it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may be that they just didn’t get the correlation between the two before. But hey, if you got something out of this little article, hopefully it’s how you can definitely afford a bit of time and a bit of money to make the money you desire.<\/p>\n

Okay, my time is up… go forth and multiply your money.<\/p>\n
