My last few posts have talked about ‘feeding the soul’ and the not the ‘make money’ element of this blog. In this post, I am going to chat about creating a mind set to create some wealth online (or make some money, cash, dosh, swag, moolah…  as us ‘common folk’ would say ; – ) ?

However you dress it up, wouldn’t it be nice to just sit back in your villa in the south of France or your Aspen retreat and press a few buttons on a computer for a couple of hours a day and know that the cash is rolling in on auto pilot? Well, fantasy can become reality with just a little bit of knowledge seeking and targeted work. As the old saying goes ‘you get what you focus on’ and if you focus on trivia or nothing of real value (phyisically, spiritually, mentally or emotionally), you will not reap results.

Although most people have good intentions, they never seem to focus on the end result and soon lose interest, giving up very easily. So, how do we prepare to take over the world or at least create the world that we desire. Lets look at some practical solutions to keep us on track and help us through the day.

Kaizen for those of you who are not familiar is a Japanese business technique for achieving great and enduring success through taking regular, small steps to reach your goals. Kaizen is actually the Japanese word from ‘improvement’. After the second world war Japan, like Europe, was devastated and much effort  was needed to create a new and properous Japan. Kaizen techniques were used by Japanese companies like Nissan, Honda, Toyota & Sony (to name a few) to change the perception of their products in the West, from low end inferior to high end reliable products. Kaizen techniques were used in the manufacturing process and with the labour force, improving their attitude and making them ‘stakeholders’ in the business. Listening to the workforce and rewarding them for their commitment and input was a primary technique.

Of course, Kaizen goes a lot deeper than surface management techniques by addressing the way that challenges and perceived problems are approached mentally. If used correctly, it can trick the conscious and sub-conscious mind and melt away any negativity that surrounds an issue or hurdle, creating a positive outcome.

To find out more about Kaizen, just do a search engine query. There are plenty of good articles and books out there. I would recommend anything by Robert Maurer.

Make Money & Feed Your Soul – What’s that all about?

Hey Everyone,  I have decided to create a business/money making lifestyle blog that not only looks at wealth creation topics, but also looks at how we create a total balanced lifestyle beyond just material things and spending 10 hours a day in the office, behind a computer getting brain dead!

Stick with me on this, as I would be interested to hear from anyone who is like minded or is contemplating changing their lifestyle beyond the same old 9 to 5, 365 monotonous drudgery.
