Making
more money, living a better and happier life are always the top wishes we
secretly and sometimes openly have for ourselves at the beginning of every
year, and 2022 will not be an exception. In addition to money, we wish
ourselves and friends and neighbors alike good health, bountiful blessings,
God's grace, and happiness, but we know if we have more money, it means God has
answered all our prayers. To strive to make the New Year better than the
previous one, we write down New Year resolutions and pray that all our wishes
come to pass. Sadly these resolutions are more often than not forgotten a few
days into the New Year as life sweeps us along.
Some belief to achieve
anything, you need to sit down and create plans and set goals and then set out
to execute your projects, and all would be well. This is not a good idea.
Rather than make plans and write down goals, ask yourself concrete questions
first. So to position yourself to make more money in 2022, you need to be
guided by questions, and here are the top seven to ask.
1. How much money do I
want to make? A simple and almost trite question, but this is the first
question you should ask yourself. It's the roadmap to where you're going. You
must be clear about how much you want to make in 2022 before you do anything
else. The more precise the figure, the more likely you'll make it. Do not say I
wish to make more money or a lot of money; instead, I want to make $50,000 or
$1 million in 2022. When you do that, your mind will work and move forces to
help you achieve your target. The human mind likes precision, so if you want to
achieve the mark you've set, be clear about what the target is in terms of the
exact figure. Also, be unrealistic by setting audacious targets. This is a
mindset thing. If you're earning $15,000, why gun for $20,000 when you can set
sights on $150,000, which is 10X your current income?
2. Is what I'm
currently doing putting more money in my pocket? Many people like to do things
that make them famous or loved or wanted and hardly ask whether they put more
money in their pocket. As you already know, time is one of the scarcest
resources, and when it's gone, it's gone forever. So you have to use the
limited time you have wisely. Anytime you're asked or tempted to do anything,
always ask yourself, is this thing going to put more money in my pocket? If the
answer is no, don't do it. If you do, you're cheating yourself because you
would have used that time to do something else that would have put more money
in your pocket or swollen your bank account. Be selfish with your time, and as
much as possible, don't stretch yourself too thin by taking up so many projects
and assignments that don't put more money in your pocket.
3. What should I do to
double or quadruple or 10X my income? Throughout 2022 think about how you could
grow your income exponentially and not incrementally. If you're earning, say
$10,000, think of ways you could double it within a month or three months to
$20,000 or even 10X it to $100,000. If you're doing 9 - 5 jobs as an employee,
think of how you could change careers to earn double or how you could you ask
your current employer to double your pay. Can you tweak your strategies to
double or triple your income if you're self-employed? Day in and day out
throughout 2022, always have pen and paper and look at the different
permutations that could enable you double or quadruple or 10X your earnings.
4. What price am I
willing to pay to achieve my target income? As the saying goes, "No Cross,
No Crown." Many people like to eat omelets, but they don't want to break
an egg. This is self-delusion. As the year unfolds, be ready and willing to pay
any price, bear any burden, and do whatever it takes to make more money in
2022. Do you need to get that outstanding certification? Do you need to
move to another state or even another country if your circumstances permit? Do
you need to learn cryptocurrency, Forex trading, content marketing, internet
business, or whatever new skills are required to enable you to double what
you're currently earning? If you're not willing to pay any price to achieve
your target, you're limiting yourself.
5. Where can I get help
to make more money in 2022? Many people have low self-confidence and find it
hard to ask for help. Some people are lone wolves and prefer to suffer and toil
all alone. Again this is a mindset thing. All you have to know is that there
are people worldwide willing to help you if you could just raise your hand and
ask and ask in the right way. Remember, you're not begging. To beg is to
belittle yourself and undervalue your worth. Also, remember, you're not asking
for a dole out. All you're doing is genuinely asking how to move from here to
there? You can even ask Google, YouTube, Facebook, and tens of other social
media channels. You can join online groups. There are so many ways you can ask
for help, so if you want to make more money in 2022, make asking for help an
essential way of doing things in the New Year.
6. How many lives do I
want to touch? Dr. Peter Diamandis, the co-founder of Singularity University
and the author of two best-selling books, Bold and Abundance, once said, if you
want to be a billionaire, impact one billion lives. If you're going to make
more money in 2022, you must be willing to touch more lives. What can you
do? Before becoming president, you can become a community mobilizer as
ex-president Barack Obama. You can launch a blog or podcast and preach about
bad leadership in your community. You can set up a school online like Khan
Academy. You can do many things to make more money in 2022 by touching
more lives and creating a huge impact. All you have to keep at the back of
your mind is that making more money is not for your personal ego trip.
7. Why do I want to
make more money in 2022? As I said in the paragraph above, you have to keep at
the back of your mind that making more money is not for your personal ego trip.
If you want to make more money in 2022, you must have a big "Why"
that transcends the mundane. You don't want to make more money because you want
to buy a Rolls Royce, build a more enormous mansion or buy an Island all for
yourself. You need a powerful "Why" because the more powerful your
"Why," the more resilient you'll be to withstand adversity when the
going gets tough. If your "Why" is weak, you'll give up when you meet
your first obstacle or suffer a minor setback. A "Why" such as
impacting more lives, making the world a better place, and being of service to
humanity are the kinds of "Why" that stand the test of time. Create a
powerful "Why" to guide your journey, and you'll make more money in
2022.
There you have them;
the seven top questions you should ask yourself to make more money in 2022. It
starts with asking how much money I want to make and thinking deeply about that
target amount. Without a target amount, everything will be an exercise in
futility. It's followed by asking what I'm currently doing to put more money in
my pocket? Next, is what should I do to double or triple or quadruple or 10X my
income? That question is followed by, what price am I willing to pay to achieve
my target income? Then you zero in on where can I get help to make more money?
The next in order is how many lives do I want to touch? And the ultimate
question is, why do I want to make more money? If you ask these questions and systematically
go in search of answers for them, you'll make more money in 2022 than you made
in the previous ten years put together. I guarantee.
