Whoever says money is not important has definitely not been without it for a very long time, because whoever that has been without it for quite a reasonable period of time would know the true value of money and its importance.

Generally, everybody wants money, but very few individuals are ready to give what it takes to make this money.

If you want money, then you’ve got to master how to control money and not the other way round where money controls you, this involves being offensive with money and not being defensive with it.

You will see many people playing from the defense when it comes to money, always afraid of investing or going into a speculative business because of the fact that they don’t want to lose their “hard-earned money” at least according to them, without even trying at all. These kinds of people are not just a threat to themselves but to friends and family around them. They don’t take financial risks, they don’t try to sway from the norm, or attempt to break a trend. When you even seek their advice as regards your financial position, they transmit their financial reluctance to you. Some of them will even start to give you a list of IVA companies to avoid whenever you speak to them about taking a financial gamble with your debt payments.

 

But what many of them fail to grasp is that in any game in life, you’ve already denied yourself that chance of winning if you didn’t play at all, or if you play with a losing mentality (playing defensively), because you’ll only be giving your opponent the chance to always attack and hit you to your own detriment.

To win a game, one has to develop that winning mentality of a sportsman, going offensively can only increase your chance of winning, for the fact that with that mentality, you’ll always be able to concentrate all your energy to target and hit your goal.

This same illustration is applicable to any financial or money-making endeavor, therefore, putting your money to lucrative use or in another word being offensive with money can only but increase you in wealth and abundance, and as for the opposite(playing defense with money) can only deny you a gateway to the world of abundance and simply lead one towards the world of fear, misery and even penury.
