Theres always all these methods, these "ways to make money". As if simply being aware of their existence is the difference between poverty and prosperity.

We are all entrepreneurs here. Freelancers, hustlers, businessmen, whatever you call yourself. We dont this for money, though we might say we do. We do this because we refuse to allow a system control the way we survive. We dont depend on anyone, we do things ourselves.

So by that logic, why would you have your financial success be dependent on the existence of some trick that someone else found for you? What, without them youre going to starve? All the best decisions come with a calm, confident mind. And the only way to be confident is knowing that no matter what, you can always think your own way out of trouble and figure things out yourself.

The true and only correct way to "make money" is to create one. I believe in conceptual ability, not skilled ability. Following a cookie cutter recipe might work for a bit, but understanding how things work and why they work, to a point where you can make money from literally anywhere, will make you immune to failure in the long run.

Well, maybe it´s just me. BUT, if someone paid me twice what I earn today I would happily go back to be employed and do what "the man" says. We all have a boss in some way anyway. Anything else is just a bunch of crap cool entrepreneurs made them self believe to justify their way of life.
 
I believe that having a 'method,' even if it's not substantial, can help you generate enough money to invest in your own ventures.

However even then, you still have to adhere to specific rules.
For example, in my case Google clearly dictates my actions. If you are a trader it will be the market, a hunter it will be the season and weather...
 
I don't want to get into the "work for the man" part because I don't think this was your main point in the post.

I think you look at methods the wrong way. Some of them work and others don't, but it doesn't even matter in most cases.
The best thing you can get from a method is an idea, or a new perspective.

You can, obviously give it a shot as it is. And in some cases, these $10 a day will also contribute to someone's life in a way that advances them to becoming their own boss.

Another point I want to make is that nothing stops someone from having 20 methods running at any given point, allowing them to have many small streams of cash rather than 2/3 big ones. Very efficient hedging, if you ask me.
 
When I first came on BHW, there were methods you could copy word for word right now, and start making money within 30 minutes. With how big BHW (and IM in general) became, it would be foolish to put out anything that could get saturated overnight.

With that said, those BHW methods got me to where I am today. There's things that I learned years ago, hidden gems deep in BHW that's part of my strategy to this day. I think it's great to take inspiration from other people, strategies that work or were working to expand your thought process.

Why reinvent the wheel when that has already been done by those before you?

There's a reason we don't discover and build new forms of transportation vehicles each time we want to travel.

There's a reason we go to school, acquire degrees and start and continue a career.

We do all these almost the same way others have been doing it, especially the school part, the same other have been doing it before. With slightly improvement and modifications based on new discoveries.
 
Relax man, it looks like you're a little stressed, what I can say is that on the internet and especially on this forum I've found methods that other people taught that were really useful and that helped me a lot financially (both paid and free methods)

The only thing I have to complain about them is that they always last for a while and then stop working, at least for me it has always been that way.

I've seen this before. It's ego. People too smart for their own good want to feel like they came up with something no one else did. People don't realize marketers steal from each other all the time. "Good artists copy, great artists steal".

I have an old friend that has been stuck trying to re-invent the wheel for the past 7 years. Very, very smart guy and he'd have solid ideas too, but go way outside the box when it comes to executing. Unnecessarily complicated strategies. He could wake up and decide to sell apples. But instead of reselling apples from a local farm, he'll want to raise $1 million from investors, hire a scientist to genetically mutate seed, to make the apple bright red and taste sweeter. Sounds good in theory, but resell the damn apples like everyone else - the money is right there for the taking.

Obviously this is an exaggeration, but not too far from the truth. 5 years in, one day his girl left him. She saw what his future looked like. He sat down, re-evaluated his life, did the math, and saw he would've made more money working a minimum wage job than being an entrepreneur.

I wish I could have a better ending, but he never learned his lesson and is still at it, trying to come up with his own unique business model that no one else thought of. Don't be that guy.
 
The way you make money is as personal as the type of women you like, or your favourite food.

It's weird to tell someone what their preferences should be.

I was stuck spinning my wheels for YEARS due to following other peoples 'methods' that were portrayed as the 'only' and 'best' way to generate money.

Once you find something that fits your intrinsic abilities and personality, it becomes way easier.

But I think for beginners this is something you can only truly understand once you've gone through it personally.

Similar to the popular phrase 'money doesn't buy happiness'... There is no way you can accept that statement until

A) You have given up on pursuing it so need an excuse
B) You've experienced it first hand.

Great post.
 
Well then.

This post got an approval rating of like -2%

Sorry if anybody felt personally attacked, but yes, you are making mistakes. All your reasons are completely valid and justified. However you are not coming from a place of abundance and this will cause you to solve problems incorrectly.

The main idea of my advice to you is not that you need to be some super unique creative elon musk genius. The point is you need to learn to create solutions yourself for real freedom and prosperity. You cannot be dependant on anyone or anything.

If youre making money now just copying other peoples ideas, I gurantee you will make 10x as much if you learn how to create things for yourself.

Try this with an empty belly, a full pile of unpaid bills, eviction notice, and some ADHD attached to your brain

There's no only ONE TRUE method, let's not be dramatic. If it makes money, that's a method. If you find a iteration to it, that's another method. Maybe it's the only one for you/me, but not generally

Well I already stated my reasoning, and I wont keep arguing too much because to be fair I like this site and dont want stand against its primary attraction either :)

But again the point is, people need to use and develop their minds. Just like working out a muscle, you need to work out your brain to grow your intelligence. Copying and pasting solutions may make you money, but it will not be as effective in progressing your own natural talents, which will take you 10x farther in the long run. This is what I am advocating for.

Don't want to argue as well, just pointed out the obvious. Curious, care to share what new products/services you bring into this world that doesn't existed before and it's not copy pasted?!?

None, but never in my life have I ever copied and pasted a system either. At the end of the day its about value and not the product or service. You can sell the same products in a completely different way under a different system or "method" and doing so will completely change the value of your offering.

For example, I can open a convenience store and sell a bunch of chips, candy, etc. This is what most people will recommend I do if I want to sell snacks at a retail level.

What I would do instead is add in some imported grocery products like japanese fanta, some specialty chocolate etc, and create a specialized snack-only brand which will have 10x the value to any customer looking for snack products because this model exclusively specializes in solving their problem and nobody else's, even though none of the products are unique to it. Mind you, this is a real life case study, not just my imagination.

Nothing will ever truly be unique, even Elon Musk's Tesla is a culmination of 1000s of other people's work. But if you study other people's solutions, take a bit of inspiration from them all, and focus on building your own, you can continue to keep creating new and better versions of these systems with a much stronger value proposition and little to no competition.
 
lol. this isn't something new. i've been saying this for years.

nobody is going to voluntarily share (burn) a method if it's making them money. point blank period. all these retards on here hawking "guides" are just taking advantage of suckers. and suckers are profitable so you really can't blame them.

there are a select few cases where somebody may have a method that works, but not the time to invest into it. so they choose to sell it and invest the earnings into something else. for example, i've share strategies on other forums/with partners if i just don't feel like putting in the time to scale said "method" anymore.

but again, that's 1/10 scenarios. we live in a selfish, greedy world. anybody who disagrees is lying to themselves.

browse this forum for inspiration. if you have half a brain you can still get value out of a thread here and there. but take everything with a grain of salt. nobody is going to feed you but you.

So let me understand this: You didn't create any service whatsoever in your life, you haven't create neither a product, but your (untested by yourself) theory should be approached cause you feel that's the right way?!?
