Make everything you do pay for itself.

Whenever I go out to buy something with my money, I have one thing always in the back of my mind.
“If I want it, someone else probably wants it too” This simple thought plays in my mind like a broken record.

If I want something bad enough to pay for it, then others might also want it bad enough to pay for it.
If others want it and are willing to pay for it and the price is right then you have an opportunity to buy it and sell it to someone who wants it more than you do.

So if I want to buy something for me I look around for the best deal I can possibly find. Then I buy several items.
I keep one for myself and resell the remainder so that in the end I don’t only have the thing I wanted, I also have more money in my pocket than before I bought it in the first place.

Either that or I buy something else that don’t want that I can make a profit on and resell it so that I can easily afford to buy the things I want. I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve bought things I didn’t want just because they were worth more than I paid for them,and I wanted the money that I could get from turning around and reselling them.

Take a moment and look around you. Everything in your house was sold to you. Everything you own or something just like it could be bought or sold

Money is not picky what its used to buy, but if you pay attention and are frugal, you notice that some of the things that you buy are worth more than you pay for them and others are worth less.

I am not picky either my philosophy is that “everything money buys IS money” and that if you’re clever you can trade up.

Check out this guy http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/

This guy traded a single red paperclip for a house. It took him a full year and 14 trades, but in the end he had traded up from an insignificant desk object with practically no value,to something very large with very considerable value.

I use this concept over and over again, whatever I do I find a way to make it pay for itself. This very blog Cost me $140, and I made back my entire investment in the first 4 days after buying it. http://www.seekers-ultimate-no-bullshit-guide-to-life.net/made-160-first-4-days-blogging-career/

This is not chance or luck, this is a repeatable strategy of setting yourself up for success. You set it up so that even the worst case scenarios, the dominoes fall in your favor, because you set it up in your favor.

Sincerely —- Seeker.
