Do you want to achieve financial success? 3 mindsets you need to change
Many people think that success can only be achieved in big cities, while many people in villages are also constantly making progress.
The key lies not in where we live, but in our mindset about money. There are three mindsets you need to change to achieve financial success.
First, change a colonized mindset into an investment mindset. 50,000 rupiah can be spent on snacks, or it can become a seed that yields more.
Second, build a small money machine so that money works for us, and not the other way around. For example, a mother who makes ready-made vegetable packages.
Third, use digital bridges. The internet connects villages to the world, allowing us to work for clients in large cities or sell village specialties online.
Success begins with small, subtle decisions, such as choosing to invest money instead of spending it on instant gratification.
Money Mentality
* Many people think that the center of money and opportunities is located in the city.
* There are neighbors in the village whose lives are constantly improving, whose houses are beautiful, and whose businesses are doing well.
* The key to success lies not in where your feet are, but in where your head is pointing (your mindset).
* Financial problems will continue to haunt you if your mindset regarding money remains flawed, even if you live in the city center.
Change a colonized mindset
* A colonized mindset is one where money comes in and is immediately spent on instant gratification (e.g., coffee, data plans, snacks).
* Change your mindset and view money as a seed that can multiply (e.g., 50,000 rupees for cayenne pepper seeds).
* This teaches you to delay gratification and see long-term potential.
* This skill makes it easier to make other important financial decisions.
Building a small money machine
* Do not constantly trade time for money (working for a daily wage).
* If you get sick or stop working, your income stops immediately.
* Smart people build systems that make money work for them.
* This system is called leverage; energy and time are limited, but a good system can work 24/7.
* Example: Mother makes ready-made vegetable packages for busy neighbors.
Utilizing digital bridges
* The classic excuse that villagers struggle to get ahead because they live far from the market is outdated.
* The internet is a toll road connecting villages to the rest of the world. * Feelings of inferiority caused by living in a village are a financial ailment that needs to be cured.
* You can do digital work (Sandraviz, writing articles, managing social media) for clients in large cities.
* The unique features of a village (the palm sugar production process, local crafts, traditional recipes) can become content or products that city dwellers are looking for.
Setting change in motion
* Don’t think you have to build a large company immediately.
* All major changes start with small decisions.
* Start saving money and ask yourself if it is a snack that runs out or a seed that you can harvest multiple times.
* The answer determines your financial situation for the next 5 years. ***
