When you are made a business proposal, which at first glance seems profitable, do not rush to agree to the voiced conditions. To get started, sit down and think, or rather, count how much your time costs. Blogger and investor Mila Kolokolova tells how to learn to value his efforts and why hours and minutes are more expensive than rubles.
You have never thought about why rich people are most appreciated by time? The answer is simple: because they know that thanks to this resource, income can increase. A successful person uses every minute to achieve the goal. Every day and hour bring him closer to a dream.
Rich people are very busy, they always have a lot of urgent business, daily they solve dozens of difficult tasks, make important decisions. They are completely absorbed in work and do not intend to be distracted by all sorts of trifles and meaningless conversations. Each moment is important for them.
They only take them to make them more successful and leads to an increase in welfare. They will never waste time and effort on uninteresting and unpromising work. But for the sake of the fact that it will bring success, money and satisfaction, are ready to work for days. So a person realizes his potential: engaged in the activity that allows him to achieve their goals and fulfill his dreams.
Life lifestyle is the only final resource. Money is just a matter of the ability to earn it. The poor, unlike the rich, value money most. This is the highest value for them. There is no money, there is nothing! As a rule, they are sure that in their life everything does not depend on themselves
, but on external circumstances and conditions. They only have to humbly accept the rules of the game. They spend time on endless conversations about troubles and problems, thereby only increasing them, and do not believe in themselves at all. All forces spend on the fact that they are engaged in ineffective, low -paid work.
Often, for the sake of saving 3-5 thousand rubles, people take up what they do not know how, or begin to master a new specialization. Of course, if this is a hobby or in the future you are going to earn it on this, then this option is quite possible. But if you do it only for the sake of saving, then the idea is completely useless. Neither 3 nor 5 thousand saved rubles will change the financial situation, and the invaluable resource of time will be wasted.
Save time and delegate affairs to professionals
Even if you are among those who are trying to control literally everything, sooner or later you will have to face the understanding that you are not omnipotent. The ability to delegate authority is an important skill that will help to free time resources and achieve better results. Instruct what they are incompetent, specialists. Let them create sites, make repairs and deliver parcels. You will devote this time to your favorite business or making money in the area in which you can be called a real pros.
Once at the training, I asked the participants to do the exercise, I had to break a monetary bill. And what do you think? Not everyone was able to do this – they cursed, shouted and even cried. This suggests that most people experience a tremendous dependence on money. To fight this dependence helps adequate perception and understanding that money is just a tool to achieve goals.
How much do your efforts cost?
In order to learn how to value time and begin to delegate powers, you need to find out how much your time is worth. Be prepared for the fact that the numbers can upset you. Once upon a time, when I found out how much an hour of my work costs, it became offensive to tears. You plow-pause, you work for days, and you earn like an ordinary manager!
I propose to make calculations right now. To do this, write how many hours a day you work, including time for the road and preparing for the labor day. Multiply by the number of working days a month. Then divide the amount of income into the amount of time spent. This is the cost of one hour of your time.
