Dead people rule the world is a famous quote that denotes the significance of ideas in any society. Ideas rule the world and once it develops into a philosophy, it becomes a formidable force for change. You see you cannot change unless your philosophy changes, which will only happen once your ideas change. Idealogical precepts define a philosophy.

Making money should be like an idea that has been transformed into a pursposeful philosophy. Philosophies outlive death, a case of socrates, Julius Nyerere’s ujamaa in Tanzania, or Desmond Tutu’s Ubuntu from South Africa. A proper philosophy values systems development than achievement of goals. In any game, for instance, football, focussing on the score board attracts fear and failure. The secret is in doing the act and then the results will sort itself, right? And so is money. If you need money, develop an idea, transform it into philosophy, make it valuable, and it will attract wealth.

Money is a resource for achieving a perfectly planned idea. Since such formidable ideas outlives their creators, the latter will not be rich but wealthy. Wealthy persons are influential beyond their money as society values their ideas. We live not for ourselves but the society, which grants us success. Ideally, fruitful success is transformative not to the creator but the society!

A perfectly crafted idea, transformed into related philosophy, a way of living, becomes valuable to the society and is the key to financial freedom.
