Recently, I have been considering an effective way to make money for empathic and logical people like me. That made me realize that we may need to abandon the conventional belief about working. Let’s discuss it.
How to make money efficiently with our qualities
Sometimes, we want to make money efficiently while showing our talents.
From my perspective, empathic and logical people tend to be poor at making money. Our unique qualities often hinder having a stable job. We may be unable to do the same thing repeatedly or become part of society.
Although one solution is choosing a frugal life, we don’t have to stick to that option alone. There can be a way to make money efficiently based on our personalities.
That is why we want to know how to make money efficiently with our qualities.
One approach is recognizing management from a broader perspective. We treat our business as handling the unexpected, not repeating the same thing. That might show us how to make money efficiently.
The essence of human work
Management enables us to grow our assets. That is an effective path for empathic and logical people to become wealthy, including financially, in my opinion.
To make it easier to understand, let’s reconsider the essence of human work.
Humans are social animals. They have developed by dividing roles and cooperating. Some grew vegetables, some built houses, some transported goods, and some managed things.
The fundamental activity is exchanging, which includes invisible things, such as services, knowledge, wisdom, and instructions. The collection of those exchange activities constitutes the economy. In other words, the economy is based on exchanging.
Focusing on management
The most common and valuable activity is management. The ruling class and presidents tend to be wealthy, while the working class and employees are relatively poor. Across eras and regions, those who can perform intellectual work are wealthier, while those who engage in only monotonous manual labor often remain poorer.
Management is an activity that deals with the unexpected. It is the opposite of monotonous labor, which repeats tasks in an unchanging situation. In other words, excellent managers are those who can be wary, worry, and prepare for the unexpected in moderation from a broader, historical perspective.
That shows us that empathic and logical people are the most suitable for management. Empathy allows us to imagine risks and opportunities and prepare for the future. Logical ability enables us to see things more broadly and historically, predict the future, consider risks and rewards, decide rationally, and act moderately.
In other words, we inherently possess the ability to create wealth, including money. In other words, the conventional belief that we must continuously provide the same products or services limits our potential to generate income.
Using our talents
It means that we need to start with management as our foundation.
Our task is to prepare for the unexpected, not to repeat the same thing. Amid the unexpected, we handle something.
The things we manage are called assets, and our goal is to increase them. Assets include not only money but also various valuable things, such as resources, time, health, human relationships, mental fulfillment, life balance, contributing to others, and our satisfaction.
Many people cannot predict and respond to changes. We achieve prosperity by anticipating them and preparing for them.
The preparation activity is called investment. It usually appears to be a pointless activity for many people. We accumulate lower-value resources by consuming valuable and abundant things. However, the value changes over time. Efficient items and activities become profitable after a certain point, and things whose value changes over time increase in value.
Investment is not limited to the financial market. We can invest in every activity that requires management.
A broader and historical perspective based on logical sense provides us with the ability to predict the unexpected for many people. Every unexpected event has its historical cycles and patterns. Understanding the cycles, investing in something, and exchanging it will benefit us in the long term.
Let’s explain more details in later articles.
Conclusion
That is how to make money efficiently with our qualities.
Management enables us to grow our assets. It is an activity that deals with the unexpected.
That might show us how to make money efficiently.
