Default can't seem to make money

i'm bad with discipline, hv poor concept of money, hate business, hate finance. hate to be in position of leader. hate to manage people. hate the result oriented working world.

so far i know that my core values is love and expression and freedom.
i have a lot of love to give. I want people to love themselves and be free to be who they are.

i can't seem to find a place to fit myself in. i can't make money. can't find a job that i love. can't find a job. my dad calls me a failure.

sometimes i wonder, what's wrong with me.

how can i use my core values to help me make money?

You use a lot of very negative language. Do you really "hate" all of those things or do you "think" that you do. In some senses you have to embrace the things you say you hate if you want to acheive your goal of making a living from what you love.

there are no other ways around that. you need to understand bank accounts, keeping to a budget, motivating yourself, being disciplined. if you truly cannot deal with these things you will never get there. these are the basics.

However all is not lost. Once yu have accepted these basics you can start to make good money from your core beliefs. You could write a book and sell it online. You could offer councelling online to those in need, you could study to become a counsellor and work for a charity or other insitutuion who share your beliefs.

In the neantime try to do some charity or volunteer work. i think this will give you a taste of what other people go through and how you might be able to help in the long run.

if you really beleive in love and freedom, share it with other people and the opportuities will come. you just need to be proactive. the opportunities won't come to you if you stay at home!

This is some excellent advice for you also: "I want people to love themselves and be free to be who they are. " I think it just might be the solution you're looking for. Some courage and determination will be necessary. Value yourself!

They are right. Your post is full of "hate" and "can't."

Go ahead and write a post filled with "love" and "can," and even "will" and "am." If affirmations resonate with you, do that.

"I've found a place I really fit in."
"I'm making lots of money doing something I love."

And if one of your core values is love, start loving money. Just think of all the great stuff money does and how you can use it to help people.

Hate is a pretty strong word, by the way not all people must become businessmen with superb financial and planning skills It's good to be smart and know how to monetize your skills, that's for sure (it will pay your food and other stuff . But don't be so hard on yourself, focus more on enjoying the process of doing what you love and then finding out how to monetize it.

Or go learn to live into the wilderness (I'm serious . It's just about your priorities. If you would rather live in the society then learn how to monetize. Also about you being a failure, don't listen to your dad. There is nothing wrong with you, it's usually other people / society which force us to believe so - always because they are insecure and you are catalyst for their own fears.

One day you will use your inability to fit in as your advantage (this usually shows you are somehow special and all the succesfull people I know are special .

someone told me that my core value is love, because i care a lot about people, how they feel, etc. i am strongly empathic and nurturing. if there's something i do not like to do, but i see how important it is from the angle of compassion, i will try to do it. Love gives me courage.

i guess currently, i don't feel good about my current state of life now.

Can I make a suggestion please? This has consistently worked for me for a while.. I was also a generally very 'negative' person. Spend 10 minutes each day with your eyes shut affirming good emotions. It DOES work.

Also note the difference between "you are happy" and "I am happy".

I used to focus on "I am happy, and I am successful. I am alive and full of energy. I am loved and I love." - don't just mindlessly repeat it but actually FEEL it. Make a habit of doing it, and good things magically start happening.. I promise.

How can you ever expect to make money if you literally hate making money?

There is no point in using affirmations unless you are affirming the truth. Perhaps it would be better with:

I hate money.
I'm broke.
I hate making money.
I will always be broke as long as I hate making money.

Paste it on your wall.

how to enjoy making money?

ok, i know the principle that , we must enjoy making money in order to make money.

some people have it easy and enjoy hitting sales target etc. good for them. some enjoy doing business. some enjoy marketing.

how to enjoy making money? the things i enjoy have nothing to do with money.

for me, i find it hard to make money.

perhaps it's my framework about making money.

i have tried reading books about personal investment.... to me, it's all head knowledge and i cannot see how it apply to my life.

I had the same vibe about money in my youth, however as i get committed with wive and kids i became to explore to make money. It is tough though but we have to come to a compromise with our basic needs : food clothing shelter...oops i forget iphone

When we're "cornered" with expanding needs then we value competition and aspirations. If we have someone to "feed" us we play a waiting game. How i did it in my youth. Now i do not have that mindset anymore. I want race and want to win

Well, that's not true, but it certainly makes it more fun.

No, in order to make money you have to either enjoy selling your stuff yourself or enjoy letting other people profit by selling your stuff to others for you. But ultimately, making money is the process of exchanging something for cash - ie selling - be it something tangible like a product or something intangible like some useful service.
