The Money Illusion!

Everyday millions of people go to work. Everyday millions of entrepreneurs work their butt of to build their companies.

Why? Because for them, money is as real as their own lifes.

The missing piece in the equation, something they have all missed to ponder on in their haste, is that money is just an illusion. Nothing else.

Tell me: How do you define money?

Before Nixon money was money, but today money is not money, it is a currency. Something that has a value because of it’s relation to other currencies. A scale game more or less.

But let us move away a little bit from money AND currency. Because these two words can be deceptive if you are in business. As a businessman/entrepreneur you cannot sell yourself to believe in money. To believe in the currency bills you hold in your hand. Those bills are only one way to survive in this world.

The really sharp minds out there knows that you can use many things as currency. You can use a nasty detail about someone else as currency, you can use hard assets as machinery as currency, you can use secret information as a really hot currency etc.

If you are to succeed as an entrepreneur these days, you need to become much more sophisticated and drop the illusions you have that the dollar bill is the only way to move forward and make things happen. The dollar bill is only one tool of many. Not the ONLY ONE.

The dollar bill is only real and the most accepted because we make it so. We believe it should be so and so hence everything evolves around keeping that illusion real.
