5 Keys to making more Money

When I first got into business at 13, I was all about me. At 13, there wasn't much I didn't know. Just ask my dad. However, as I grew older and got further along in business, I recognized that successful people have some common characteristics.

We all want to make more Money. Instead of a business idea, or new investment, I am going to teach you 5 key principles that will take you to getting more money.

More - You have to do more or give more than you're doing now. What are you willing to do differently today, than you did yesterday? How much more time? How much more are you willing to give to your customers? To your friends and referral partners? In order to receive, you have to be willing to give. No one likes a taker. People like to feel good about their interactions with others. We like givers. Think about the takers in your life. We all have them. Do you like to be around them?

Others - It's about what we do or give to others. In order to get more money, we need others involved. Buyers, investors, customers. From other people is where we get the money. In order for them to part with their money, we have to have their interests in mind. What can we do for them? How can you add value?

Networking - Money comes from other people. The only way I know to meet more people is through networking. Getting referrals, finding new customers. We can advertise, and we should, we can cold call, and we should, but networking is the best way to meet good people quickly. There are tons of organizations that are designed to help you meet more people. You have to build your network today.

Enthusiasm - People love excited people. Positive people attract. It always does. Yes, you will attract fair weather friends, but you will also uncover the true friends at the same time.

and finally you have to say........

Yes - Yes to success. Yes to your clients. Yes to getting out and meeting people. Yes to doing a great job. Yes to doing what is right. We're in business to say yes. The next time your client calls and asks "do you do that?" say Yes.

I hope this acrostic helps you to remember the 5 keys to more money. There are certainly important strategies for you to do, but this is about your attitude toward success.

Be a giver, go make mo' money.

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
