Today I made $500 without any effort. Yeah, it’s not much, it’s not fastlane, it’s nothing great. Yet, I transformed X in X+500 just by using some knowledge that I would’ve had anyways.
How I did it? I changed my mindset a little bit. It’s no secret that I am an Apple fanatic. I love most of their products (I hate the “new” Mac Mini), and I am aware of any rumors about the company. I had seen iPhone 6 parts before 99% of the global population, I had seen Apple Watch rumors before most people even knew that Apple was doing something different. I like knowing what the company is up to.
So, this year, armed by the information I had which gave me enough assurance of stability I decided to NOT buy the latest iPhone, keep the previous model (5S) and invest in Apple stocks. Today after about a month, I sold the stocks (which will pay dividend tomorrow), and made about $500.
The change was massive: Instead of thinking “what company can offer the best contract?” I focused on making more money. I do not care if Apple releases a 3D iPhone 6 Superplus tomorrow. All I cared was to transform X in X+Y. And I did it.
This is to say that small changes sometimes can bring you good news. This is to say, that focusing on the “Do now, to get after” is much better than the “Get now, and do later (to repay)”. That is to say, that even if you love something, you don’t need to buy it.
