MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think?

[Pavel.Savelev]

Money is a good follower, but is a poor leader.

Money will always lead you astray, but it will follow you well.

Any man that seeks to follow money becomes misled.
Money is meant to follow you, while you are meant to follow value.  Create value, solve problems, and do it well, you'll attract people to follow you; remember, money follows people with value.

What's your take on this?

Money should never be the purpose. Money is always a means to get purpose. The most important purpose of every person is to become the likeness of God. Everything else is side.

that's all you need to know about our world. everything else is just pasta on the ears

When it comes to money then people would be most likely be forgetting these divine things on which they arent really be having that involvement when it comes to God or whatsoever that they would be needing to ask for which it is really that a very common human being behavior on which we are really that been driven that desperation on finding ways for us to make money which is something that really not surprising if you do ask me.
Cant really blame out others though because we do know that having money turns out to be a necessity because if we dont then we wont really be able to survive this harsh reality where
everything in price or value is rising.How you would be able to survive if you dont have money?

I agree with you that in order to receive money, you need to create and sell goods (works, services). 

Also, to redirect financial flows in your direction, constantly communicate with other people.  Only communication with other people will help you create a profitable business. 

It is very important to focus on your own mission.

It is necessary to constantly improve your knowledge and skills, as well as acquire new knowledge.

I don't understand what you are saying, because I don't think about any creature that would be like God. And it's good if you don't bring God's name in terms of money or in an unnatural world because this is about everyone who wants to achieve their own goals and there are also those who make money the ultimate goal of their own efforts.

So you should be smarter in sorting this out with the god that you believe in or are currently believing in, because I also know that the one who gives fortune is God, but don't expect any creature that will be similar to God in this world. Unless you have another understanding that I can't understand with my common sense.

Yes, without a communication, I don't think a business will be created other than that to do good communication, not everyone can do it,
it takes skill to do it so don't take it for granted,
Never get bored to learn new knowledge and skills.

Money is definitely a motivator if you want to live comfortably. As our world depends totally on money for achieving a comfortable life or at least meeting your obligations, earning should be one of your main goals if you truly want to experience a hassle-free life. But there lies a difference between rich and being satisfied. A person may be rich but he may feel empty on the inside especially if they have no friends, etc.

The way to deal with this is to balance a healthy lifestyle with your peers and earning money. While the latter should be one of your main focuses, you should not totally discredit other means as this will keep you active in other aspects of your life.

I don’t think our world depends totally on money for achieving a comfortable lifestyle like you say. What you would define to be a comfortable life would differ from the next person.
If you want to truly want to experience a hassle free life, search for inner peace within yourself and then get the money as money is obviously important. Only then would you lead a hassle free life. There are people who are happy and satisfied with the little they’ve got and do not need money to “live comfortably” as they’re comfortable with their way of life.

I think what he said was quite harsh, but I will agree that it is true. Nowadays, our world is entirely dependent on money, without money you will never be able to live comfortably in a world where money is used as a measure everywhere.

It is often said that money cannot buy peace or happiness, but I think that is no longer true today. I firmly believe that you will not be able to get a wife without money, nor will your marriage be happy without money. And without money, you cannot find a peaceful place in this world.

Actually, it is a motivating factor for some individuals who don't make a lot of money or who worry a lot about money, but success is more significant for those who have successfully created their businesses and make good money.

Money could come in various method or ways;

1. Inheritance
2. Business
3. Work
4. Donation
5. Lotteries

The main thing hereis that you should know on how to sustain yourself because this would really be the key on having a better
life.Its impossible that you wont really be longing on how to make more money and of course this is one main motivating factor.
We are all coming after that thing.It just turns out that there are people who are lucky enough on being successful and there are still
ones who do keep on trying.

Actually, it is a motivating factor for some individuals who don't make a lot of money or who worry a lot about money, but success is more significant for those who have successfully created their businesses and make good money.

Those who have run their business and have been successful with many branches of business and continue to benefit through extraordinary marketing will certainly not be too difficult to think about money matters. Because money is only thought of by those who still don't have it, or those who are looking for it to save before opening a business that they have liked for a long time.

I have seen many small business owners too who are happy and running their business and earning good money.
The best thing is to do the research and then remain consist on what you have decided - hardwork  is the key to success.

Follow the money if you want to be wealthy; if you want to change the world, follow your passion. This is how I see the world.
You already know that pursuing your passion will ultimately lead to financial success, mental tranquility, and fulfillment.
Most often, following the money results in anxiety, stress, and depression. Because the person is more concerned with their money account balance, etc., rather than with slowing down and enjoying life.
His interactions with his family and friends will be impacted. Due of their lack of family time, wealthy, workaholic individuals frequently get divorced. They continue to work even while they are at home.

If we keep chasing money and ignoring everything around us, like family and friends, we will easily lead to depression. But if you don't make money, or the money you earn is not enough to take care of your family, they will also find a way to leave you, friends won't play with you if you don't have money. It sounds very painful but this is all that is happening in the world today. Money rules everything, people will never help each other if there is no benefit to it.

That is way balance is very important.
We should have balance between work and family - this is very important - I mostly give time to my family in the day since I work from home and when my kids are a sleep I work at night.

That's for yourself, family and friends have made me realise that I am nobody unless I made some life changing money and become successful in life kinda shit, these people have also tried to put me down with harsh words like " you will never succeed" and so on.

I used to give more attention to everything around me until they made me realise what's more important, since then I started believing in real life advice like " nothing is for free in this life ", you have to become somebody before society can accept you, this sucks and that's why love is nowhere to be found today.

To take care of your family - you need to have good funds - and to have a good bank account you have to take time out to work hard .
But having a balance between work and family life is very important.
The one who know it - are the real successful people

i wish I have stared my own business in early age an gave it some time rather than running after jobs and people.
I have made so many mistakes and I have wasted so much money. I wish I have had save a bit.

What's your take on this?

Your topic is enticing but the body of your thread is somewhat difficult for me to comprehend. I have heard so many quotes about money, but I have not heard about following money or being followed by money.

But what I think your thread should discuss according to your title is - Money is a motivating factor, when you don't make money you will be afraid and doubtful that you can make money. But once you start making money, you will be motivated to make more money. So, money is a motivating factor.

I think this statement has some truth to it. Money can be a powerful motivator, but it can also be a distraction if it becomes the primary focus. When people become too focused on chasing money, they may lose sight of the things that are truly important and the things that bring them fulfillment and satisfaction. Instead, it's important to focus on creating value and solving problems, as these activities are what ultimately lead to financial success. By providing value to others and solving their problems, you will attract people to follow you and support your endeavors, which can ultimately lead to financial success. Money is a tool that can help you achieve your goals, but it should not be the goal itself. And I think this is what OP was trying to refer but got distracted in his words.

For me - If I dont have money - I feel depressed and the anxiety level increases to an extreme.
It is the real motivating factor and without it our life is colourless.
To some extend with money we are able to find happiness around us - those who are poor are struggling with their mental health and money related issues.

So, isn't the confortable lifestyle the motivating factor? Isn't it the goal, after all? While money is just a tool you have to use in order to achieve that.

It's true we have to focus in earning money, as nothing can be done without it in this capitalist world, but we can't forget we aren't working and put our effort in activities because of money, rather it's because of what money can bring us, like the confortable life you mentioned. The problem is that when people have money as motivating factor, they are going to forget their dreams, family, confort and welfare, and become addicted or greedy in profiting infinitely, without limits. Then life ends and nothing was really lived and experienced.

Depending on which angle you interpret this I do agree with you, not just sure what laws of attraction you are using here, but money will always follow a skilled person that's for sure and once you have it if you lack the discipline to handle it.. can lead you astray in this regard and move you from a Hero to a Zero

Any man that seeks to follow money becomes misled.
Money is meant to follow you, while you are meant to follow value.

What's your take on this?

I kind of disagree with you on this one, money can be a motivator for many and if say at a work place they're not giving you the right salary you leave and seek for a better paying job because you know what your skills are worth...So basically in this scenario you following the money and highest bidder wins!

well sometime money we get in excessive amount is a test itself.
One should stay humble during the richness and in need that it the most important rule of life.
