Scriptures
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. James 1:22-24.
Application
Did you make more money last week? I mean apart from your regular work? Did you have some money come to you effortlessly?
Last week I wrote a blog, "How To Make More Money This Week." If you read it, did you "do" what it says?
On my YouTube channel last week, on JITR ON YOUTUBE, I did a video on "How To Create Money." I mentioned on the show a quote I read in "Million Dollar Habits" by Robert Ringer, that "Most people are too busy earning a living to make any money." Chances are you are probably in this category if you never made more money aside from your regular job last week.
Let's see if I can provide some tips to help with your reasons.
- Long Hours At Time At Work - To make more money, you need to understand that creativity is at the heart of success in any endeavor. So work efficiently so you can have time for creative thinking. Focus on the point where success or failure lies. i.e. if I don't do this one thing in my daily tasks the process fails. Focus on doing that or improving how long it takes to get it done.
- The Only Expert Syndrome - Are you trapped in, if I don't do it, it won't get done syndrome? Have you asked yourself, God forbid, if something happened to you whether your job would move on without you? If it is, then do this:
- Delegate effectively. 1.) Tell people exactly what you want accomplished. 2. Let them be creative in how they want to accomplish it in a reasonable time. 3. Spot check their work on a regular basis. 4. If their work is unsatisfactory, redirect them. Get in this habit.
- Don't Know What To Do - That's a good place to start from, but you must not remain here. It's a lack of knowledge. For example, I never knew I could make money while I sleeping until I learned how to make money while sleeping. I invested in knowledge via courses, books and took action. You can start by searching YouTube for information on side gigs. There are tons of them.
If you also need more precise and detailed instructions, you can get a copy of my book 42 Financial Independence Laws For Christians. We are currently sold out on our site but you can still get it on Amazon. It has over 150 sources of income and how to monetize your current knowledge, skills and abilities.
Whichever path you decide to follow, take action. Be the 'doer." If you don't, nothing would change in your finances a week from today.
Prayer Points
- Father, thank You for this word.
- Lord, help me to be the doer of the word.
