We all want to make money, in fact, we all love money and when you hear people saying they don't love it, ask them if they love poverty instead. But in making money, there are a few things to be learned and a few rules to follow. Life is a game of rules, and only those who play by the hidden rules as well as knowing how to bend the rules to themselves win.
In our world, if you intend to make money, then you need to learn shrewdness. The ability to pay attention to details especially when it has to do with money. Let me make this clear; only the Federal Reserve or the Central Bank in your country has the right to make or print money so you are not making money. Every penny you spend was earned and should be used properly. We take money from people, businesses, or ventures and so if we are going to learn how to utilize the money, we need to understand how others take money from us.

The question you should ask yourself before spending money is why are you spending the money, is there a special thing you are getting from the expenses, why will you perform the same expenditure over again, is there an alternative to what you are spending money and so on. Making money isn't the problem, it is multiplying time that is the concern. There are endless business ideas, endless supply of talent but time is finite and to be able to make proper use of it, you need to get people to do the work for you.
I have noticed that it is difficult to make money if you do not know someone who has that type of money, this is where networking comes in. When you stay around people who know how to make coffee of different type, flavor, and brand. People who can tell a 5 minutes coffee from a 1 hour one. People who know everything about it, then over time, you will know everything about it, this is because of the power of association. If you associate yourself with rich people, who are able to share secrets with you, you would soon begin to think like a rich person, and you would start to live and do business like them within a short period of time.
There are three reasons why a person isn't going to be making money, it is either that they are Lazy, Arrogant, or plain StuPid. The game of money is a game of competition, and so you need to compete smart. If you want money, you need to make sure that you are ready to compete because everyone wants money and there are big players, small players and people who are powerful so you need to be fierce and utilize your strength. Being lazy along side this competition makes it very difficult to make money. This is because people who are making money know how to use their time and use other people's time.
I want to ask a question; have you noticed that when people see rich people coming out of an expensive car, the first thing that comes out of their mouth is that they didn't get the money legitimately? This leads to a thought that we do not expect someone who went to school, have good grades, get a job, and follow societal rules to be that wealthy. If that is the case, then we can say that following the rule of going to school, getting a good job, and living on credit isn't the right thing to do.
People can be very full of what they do not have compared to what they have. Have you seen a poor proud man, he can be proud to his teeth. He will be so proud that you would wonder why he is so, and with that giving them secret keys and rules for success will be difficult. The first sense of arrogance I smell is when people cannot go to learn from others. Nobody is a master of all, we all need to be submissive to someone either online or offline, books or media, the truth is you need to be willing to learn and being arrogant will not cut it.
You aren't better than your circle, you are just a part of your circle and it determines where you would be in few days, weeks, months, or years.
