Making Money is Hard... It's Tough... You Have To Scrimp And Save... Put In The Time... Work Like A Slave?
"No You Don't, 'Cause It's Child's Play!"
Ask any smart adult what makes money these days, and they'll reel off the same ole' regurgitated crap!
Work hard, Save money, and invest it somewhere safe. HUH?
This is what keeps most people stuck in a deep rut all their lives, because,
And get this...
There are literally "a million and one" ways to make "new" money. And I've discovered the smarter the person is...
The more they torture their noggins, applying new fangled strategies, putting that grey matter through the rack.
Stretching it like a mo' fo.'
Ending up popping pills, or drowning in alchohol to keep them from goin' completely bat-shit crazy.
What happens - is their mojo gets deflated, rendering them useless to go out and make their dreams a reality.
So, the next step...
They get lost in a sea of motivational and confidence books... drowning in piles of useless ideas they can share with their buddies down the pub.
Then, next GREAT idea...
Book a flight to the latest silly money Tony Bobinson rally (so they can walk across burning coals in their bare feet). All entertaining and fun... but, c'mon, NOT very useful.
And this is the adult way to make new money...
It's logical
It's sequential
And it rarely freakin' works!
You know why?
'Cause there are too many choices and too little motivation, making the adult feel like a complete loser, with no place to go.
I don't know about you, but when I was "rittle" I knew how to make money... easily!
"Find someone I loved or knew really, really, well... discover what they hate doing or don't want to do... then offer to do it and get paid "afterward."
You see...
As kids, we don't need leads. We just go offer help, where it's needed.
Don't need a "market" to study... 'cause we know it already.
Mom leaves the dishes, and laundry for days cause of her sore joints.
Next door neighbours grass needs cutting cause they've split up, and Mrs Jones isn't up for it anymore (grass-cutting, you dirty gutter-rat ; ).
Dad's always in a BAD mood 'cause of raking the leaves with his bad back an'all.
And we don't need books to motivate us 'cause we love these folk from the bottom of our hearts.
That feeling in our guts when we've put a smile on their faces, relieving them of their pain and anguish!
And the bonus...
We get rewarded with a nice bundle of crinkly green stuff.
Yah see what I'm sayin'?
Let's Begin To THINK Like Kids Again
Here are some examples for yah, but with a twist of lemon...
NOTE: The kids method is a mucho speedo way to get going, cause kids don't think about such things as "scalin" and such like.
What keeps you up at night?
Step #1 Those You Love & Can't Stop Thinking About...
Most people think it's the money that motivates them... they're wrong. It's never the money... it's what you give to recieve those silly bits of paper. (remember when we were kids?)
To discover REAL motivation, skip the "middle-man" (which is money. And let's syphon off the legitimate source.
"Motivation comes Naturally When You're Doin' Something for Someone else You Can't Stop Thinking About!
Step #2 Find Something That Irritates Them... daily, weekly, Monthly!
Listen...
Because I love internet marketing, and copywriting, I know these guys are irritated by the constant changes in Google policies and algo's... also, winning clients can be a real drain on time, money and resources. So, my aim is to find a solution to these problems. And I stay awake at night thinking about it. They're also always thinking about new ways to generate wealth and prosperity (another potential BIG problem)
TIP: If you can't stop thinking about the group and you really do love them, but are still at a loss... Then ASK 5 or 10 of them what irritates them, daily, weekly, or monthly.
Step #3. Offer to Do It For Them & Get Paid After!
This is the "Starter Plan"
Listen...
The idea here is to take away ALL the risk for your customer. And the best way to do that is have total faith in your abilities... knowing you'll get paid for your efforts afterwards (like when you were little).
And get this...
If no-one is taking you up on your offer, it means you're NOT taking something off their plate that's irritating enough (A simple, but VERY powerful idea).
Step #4. Figure Out How To Clone!
Once you've got the ball rolling, and you're eliminating all irritants... now it's time to "CLONE" your system. For example...
Say I've written a sale-letter that guarantees to convert traffic. I can rent it out to others and share the revenue. This is what I mean by cloning.
I mean...
Who wouldn't want a guaranteed income from renting my money machine?
That wouldn't make sense, would it?
Conclusion...
Only work with people you love or can't stop thinking about... Find out what irritates the freakin' life out of them... Offer to take away that irritation, and get paid afterwards...
Then CLONE it... BOOM!
The author’s childlike perspective on making money, driven by genuine care for others, is refreshing.
Identifying and addressing target audience irritations is commendable.
However…
A balance between passion and practicality is crucial in entrepreneurship. Offering services upfront without payment may not be viable for all businesses.
While “cloning” a successful system is appealing, adaptability to market demands is vital. Overall, the article offers valuable insights into finding true motivation in business, but a sound strategy and innovation are essential for sustainable success in a competitive market.
Hey there, Liam!
Thanks for shootin’ some great advice into the mix. And as always, I appreciate new, refreshing eyes on my stuff!
Now, let’s talk balance!
You’re absolutely right that the mix of passion and practicality is crucial in entrepreneurship. While offering services upfront without payment might not work for all businesses, it’s a bold and generous approach that can win hearts…
which is the main schtick in any selling environment (to win over the emotions).
Because, as you’re probably aware, people don’t buy “products or services,” they buy the benefits of what those things can do, to wipe out any problems that might be lingering under the radar.
For example…
Folk don’t buy weight loss products, they hand over their hard-earned money, so they can fit into the clothes they once wore, back in the day!
And “FEEL” like they used to before the stones stacked on.
It’s emotional, intense, and it gets folk jumpin’ for joy… the mere thought of it..
I hope this explains more about the article I wrote.
Thanks again Liam

Hey Dedo,
Thanks for this post, as always on point, no messing.
Great concept and so simple, going back to basics, thinking like kids without all the complications, just see a problem for someone we love or care about, help them with it, get paid, win win and oh so simple.
Thanks for the simple reminder and even more so for putting it across in such a jovial fashion.
Certainly a lot to be said about simplifying our methods and going for it.
Thanks again
Chez! Great to see you again…
And as always, I’m throwing cartwheels that you liked the post.
The idea in the article is something I’ve thought about for a long time. I mean…
You know when you sit and ponder, and life seems complicated sometimes?
Well…
I came to realize it’s mostly ALL in our heads, WE make it more complicated than it REALLY is! (life that is).
Anywho…
It’s something I wanted to share, ’cause it works wonders for me, and you know what THEY say? (If you do, can you let me know?)
Have a great day.

P.S: I’ve got some great ideas that’ll follow on from that post. And they’ll blow your mind! Catch you later.
Hi there,
What are some effective ways to tap into our inner child-like mindset and make money effortlessly, just like we did when we were kids?
Can you share an example of how this method could be applied in real life?
In other words,
What are the main steps to follow in order to make money easily and efficiently, like kids do, without getting lost in complicated adult strategies?
Great post as always.
Hey Safia!
Kudos for asking such a great question, and here’s my child-like reply.
You ready?
Go out and find something most folk find a pain in the ass (the problem). Then…
Irradicate that irritation (the solution).
For instance…
Say you’re a mother with 3 young children. Ask yourself…
What are the major concerns in my life that keep me up at night?
Write them down (these are the irritants/problem)
Then brainstorm (ponder) a solution
Once you’ve come up with a solution… turn it into a product or service, and make an offer to those who have similar problems. BOOM!
That’s just saved you a 3yr term at business school ; )
Have a great day y’all
