Making more money, living a better and happier life are always the main desires that we secretly and sometimes openly have for ourselves at the beginning of every year and 2022 will be no exception. In addition to money, we wish for ourselves as well as friends and neighbors, good health, abundant blessings, God’s grace and happiness, but we know that if we have more money, it means that God has answered all our prayers . In an effort to make the New Year better than the last, we write down New Year’s resolutions and pray that all our wishes come true. Unfortunately, these resolutions are more often than not forgotten a few days after the New Year as life sweeps us away.
Some believe that in order to achieve anything, you have to sit down and create plans and set goals and then start executing your plans and everything will be fine. This is not a good idea. Instead of making plans and writing down goals, ask yourself specific questions first. So to position yourself to make more money in 2022, you need to be guided by questions, and here are the seven best ones to ask.
1. How much money do I want to make? A simple and almost trivial question, but it is the first question you should ask yourself. It’s the road map to where you’re going. You need to be clear about how much you want to make in 2022 before you do anything else. The more accurate the number, the more likely you are to succeed. Don’t say I want to make more money or a lot of money; rather, say I want to make $50,000 or $1 million in 2022. When you do this, your mind will start working and directing forces to help you achieve your goal. The human mind loves precision, so if you want to achieve the goal you set, be clear about what the goal is in terms of the exact number. Also, be unrealistic by setting an audacious goal. It’s a matter of thinking. If you make $15,000, why want a $20,000 gun when you can aim for $150,000, which is 10 times your current income?
2. Is what I’m doing right now putting more money in my pocket? Many people like to do things that make them popular or loved or liked and most of the time they hardly ask themselves if what they are doing is putting more money in their pocket. As you already know, time is one of the scarcest resources and when it is gone, it is gone forever. So you must use the limited time you have wisely. Whenever you are asked or tempted to do something, always ask yourself; will this thing put more money in my pocket? If the answer is no, don’t do it. If you do, you’re cheating yourself because you could be using that time to do something else that would put more money in your pocket or swell your bank account. Be selfish with your time and, as much as possible, don’t strain yourself too much by taking on so many projects and tasks that don’t put more money in your pocket.
3. What do I need to do to double, quadruple or 10x my income? In 2022, think in terms of how you can grow your income exponentially, not incrementally. If you earn say $10,000, think of ways you can double it within a month or three months to $20,000 or even 10 times to $100,000. If you work a 9 – 5 job as an employee; think about how you could change jobs to earn double or how you could ask your current employer to double your pay. If you are self-employed, can you change your strategies to double or triple your income? Day after day in 2022 always carry a pen and paper and explore the different permutations that can allow you to double, quadruple or 10x your income.
4. What price am I willing to pay to achieve my target income? As the saying goes “No cross, no crown”. Many people like to eat an omelet, but they don’t like to break an egg. This is self-delusion. As the year rolls around, be ready and willing to pay any price and bear any burden and do whatever it takes to make more money in 2022. Should you get this exclusive certificate? Should you move to another state or even another country if your circumstances permit? Do you need to learn cryptocurrency, Forex trading, content marketing, internet business or whatever new skills are needed to double what you are currently earning? If you are not willing to pay any price to achieve your goal, then you are limiting yourself.
5. Where can I get help to make more money in 2022? Many people have low self-esteem and find it difficult to ask for help. Some people are lone wolves and prefer to suffer and toil alone. Again, this is a matter of mindset. All you need to know is that there are people all over the world ready to help you if you can just raise your hand and ask and ask in the right way. Remember, you are not begging. Begging means belittling yourself and underestimating your worth. Also remember that you are not asking for help. All you do is sincerely ask how to get from here to there? You can even ask Google and YouTube and Facebook and dozens of other social media channels. You can join online groups. There are so many ways you can ask for help, so if you want to make more money in 2022, make asking for help an important way of doing things in the New Year.
6. How many lives do I want to touch? Dr. Peter Diamandis, co-founder of Singularity University and author of two best-selling books, Bold and Abundance, once said that if you want to be a billionaire, impact a billion lives. If you want to make more money in 2022, you must be ready to touch more lives. What can you do? You can become a community mobilizer like former President Barack Obama was before he became president. You can start a blog or podcast and preach about bad leadership in your community. You can start a school online like Khan Academy. There are so many things you can do to make more money in 2022 simply by touching more lives and creating a huge impact. All you have to remember is that making more money is not about your personal ego trip.
7. Why do I want to make more money in 2022? As I said in the paragraph above, you must remember that making more money is not about your personal ego trip. If you want to make more money in 2022, you need to have a big “Why” that goes beyond the mundane. You don’t want to make more money because you want to buy a Rolls Royce, build a bigger mansion, or buy an island all to yourself. You need a powerful “Why” because the more powerful your “Why” is, the more resilient you will be to withstand adversity when the going gets tough. If your Why is weak, you will give up when you hit your first hurdle or suffer a small setback. “Whys,” such as impacting more lives, making the world a better place, and serving humanity, are the types of “Whys” that stand the test of time. Create a powerful “Why” to guide your journey and you’ll make more money in 2022.
There they are; the seven most important questions to ask yourself to make more money in 2022. It starts with asking how much money do I want to make and thinking deeply and seriously about that target amount. Without a target amount, anything else will be a pointless exercise. The next question is, is what I’m doing right now putting more money in my pocket? Next is what do I need to do to double, triple or quadruple or 10x my income? This question is followed by what price am I willing to pay to achieve my income goal? Then wondering where I can get help to make more money? The next line is how many lives do I want to touch? And the ultimate question is why do I want to make more money? If you ask these questions and systematically search for answers to them, you will make more money in 2022 than you did in the previous ten years combined. I guarantee.
