INVESTOR INTELLIGENCE
How to make
money love you
MEIR EZRA
Money causes stress to the
majority of people, yet it is
everywhere, right in front
of our eyes. Everyone feels
they know what money is,
yet everyone agrees it is
a highly mysterious and
misunderstood subject.
Instead of spreading your hard-earned money toward the
person who demands the most, learn how to create more
money and how to spend your money smarter.
For example: If I will complete the following courses, I will
get a raise. If I will learn how to become a master in sales, I will
be able to 100x my sales within 3 years. I want to purchase
a new car, and I will set aside $50 per week toward the new
car until I will have the full amount. If I will pay the minimum
payment to the credit card company, it will take me 23 years
to pay this stupid debt. I will add an extra $100 per month and
will shorten this silly thing to 2 years.

Spend money only based on
financial planning
You must be most efficient with money when you don’t have
money and efficiency does not just happen, it is the result of
clever financial planning. If you spend your money as soon
as you get it to pay the debts of a broken financial vehicle, a
broken business, that means you have no plan.
oney drives people to do amazing things, yet it
is not alive. Most people love money, but most
people know money will never love them back.
But what if there is a way to make money love you back?

5 Ways to Control Your Money
Never spend more money
than you earn
How do people have money? They make more than they
spend. When you do your financial planning, ensure you first
pay all your obligations as well as setting aside money for your
future plans (buying a new car, education, and savings) and
use only what is left for fun things like movies, restaurants and
holidays.
Part of the financial planning is income planning. Learn
how to control your income - yes, it is possible to control.

Stop wasting your time in
trying to get money you did
not earn
You get money in return for providing a product or service
someone needs and wants. You will not get money from
gambling, or the lottery, or by trying to cheat others. Don’t
wait for your wealth to show up, don’t expect someone to
hand it to you. Rely on yourself, your skills.
Use the most powerful method to create money. Produce
or supply something of value to others and exchange it in
return for the money you want and know you deserve the
money since YOU produced it.

Become more productive &
continuously improve the
quality of your results
The only way to get people to pay you more, to buy from you
again, to promote you, to push money your way is to deliver a
much better result than expected, faster than expected, with
much more value to the client than expected. That is the only
way!
The first thing you must do to be able to deliver more than
expected is to define who your client is and what they expect
in the different hats you wear in life. Who is your client at
home (it may be your spouse)? At work (it may be your boss or
coworker)? At your golf club? Then you must figure out how
to deliver more than expected.

The only powerful progress in
life is orderly progress
To create orderly progress, you must evaluate your progress
and create your future. Since you cannot control what you
cannot see, the only way to control your progress is to have
graphs that show you what have happened so far financially.
Hence, follow your financial progress.
Create a graph that shows the total cash you have (money
you have that you can spend) and a graph that shows the
total bills, and plan how to make the total cash higher than
the total bills. Then make sure every month you raise your
total cash and reduce your bills.
When you see constant improvement, you know you
control your money, and money will fall in love with you – it
will simply hit your doorstep. Now that you are in financial
control, you can concentrate on the goals that are important
to you.
