Most successful wealthy people consistently say that “wealth comes from the mind.” In a way, this notion seems like a luxury that only accomplished individuals can afford. However, it is true. The essence of money is merely a representation of the idea of credit. In other words, money is philosophical, and wealth is nothing more than the application of ideas. Wealth originates in the mind because it results from engaging with philosophies and ideas. Therefore, to achieve wealth, you must first learn to control your mind. Developing money-making skills follows next. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Every business has competitors, and succeeding in business means achieving victory over the competition. Winning the competition implies creating a monopoly. One of the most traditional methods of monopolizing the market is offering rebates to buyers, often referred to as a ‘bribe,’ which is illegal. The reason monopolies are so harmful is that they infringe on customers’ choices and benefits, as opposed to merely allowing one company to dominate the market. Facebook acquired Instagram and the messaging app WhatsApp to eliminate its competitors. Although Facebook is primarily a social media platform, why would it consider WhatsApp a competitor? Because WhatsApp provides group chat services to clients, and if it expands, it could easily transition into a social media platform. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
