Is Money Good or Bad?

Several people have long nurtured the misconception that money is evil, when it fact it is neither evil nor good. It's what people do with money that makes it evil or good. The Biblical reference actually states that the "LOVE" of money is the root of all evil and not money in itself. 

When you succumb to the allures of money and make it your master, or your god, then it becomes all wrong. When you take control over money and manage it wisely and use it for good purposes, then it is definitely a very good thing. Using it for God's purpose in your life is an act of good stewardship and is a form of personal worship, which makes it an instrument for good.

Being wealthy is not an evil thing, but what you do with your wealth determines whether you are good or bad. The Bible states that wealth comes from God and that He gives us the ability to produce wealth. It only becomes evil if it is used for evil purposes. There are several wealthy persons in the Bible and throughout history who are good, or have made good use of their wealth to help others, particularly the poor. Rich people have the opportunity to do good for others through the ministry of giving and there are several channels available for people to do so.

As long as your wealth is acquired in a good and Godly manner, meaning your money was obtained or worked for through fair and honest means then you should not feel any guilt for becoming wealthy. It is but proper that you enjoy the use of this wealth or money, including helping others who could not help themselves. In fact, you should even realize that the reason why you have such wealth could be just that - to help others with your money and to do good. 

Join me, in this journey to discover the reasons why we have money and how you can manage your money wisely and properly and achieve true prosperity - and how you can learn to use your wealth and money to do good and help others.

Understanding the Difference between Marketing & Promotion

Are you an online marketer? Or do you simply promote affiliate programs? Marketing is truly the most misunderstood word in use today on the Internet. Let me see if I can clarify this issue just a bit.

In Marketing 101 at your local university, marketing is actually the process of Product, Place, Price and Promotion.

Product

No business can exist without a product or service to sell.

In a nutshell, entrepreneurs are the people who believe in a product, service or idea, so much that they are willing to invest their lives into the development of their dream.

Historically, every major corporation in the world was started by an entrepreneur with a dream and the drive to make it a reality.

However, there comes a time in the life of every corporation when those who fear the gambling nature of their founder, squash the entrepreneurial drive that made the company a viable concern in the first place. The entrepreneur will either submit to the careful nature of the stockholders, or he will be forced to leave the company he created.

The only entrepreneurs who withstand the pressure to move more carefully are those who have maintained majority control over their companies.
