don't stress!- making money takes time!

Making money takes time.

Don't worry about the downturn in the markets, markets bounce back and you won't be ruined. Of course, I'm not sure when they'll bounce back, but they judging from the past century, they always do.

Remember that those that offer quick, 'sure' ways of making money are often just making money for, yep you guessed it, themselves. There are steady ways to make money, and in my humble opinion, these are the best.

Steady ways to make money include:

Making money from property
Making money from business
Making money from shares, commodities, bonds etc
Making money online

There may be other ways to improve your net worth, like theft- though I do not advise the reader to engange in unethical means of getting wealth. Even if the activity is legal, like screwing over a business supplier, I would have issues with dealing with the moral ramifications. Ethical business is the only business I'm in as I'll get the feel good sensation of knowing I've added value, rather than caused destruction, in order to have gained wealth.

Can you start a business in a day? Yes. Can you buy shares and trade in a day? Yes. Can you buy a house in a short space of time. Yes. THOUGH all are more profitable when built over time, riding out market bumps. It is a more sure bet to keep with your investments, whatever they may be ( if they are good businesses!) and ride their prosperity through market cycles. Same goes with property.

Be patient and take your time. Save, invest and remember that money is a tool for actually living life- not an end unto itself.
