Much like music fans and Nickelback, I love money and hate it at the same time. Okay, okay, comparing me to Nickelback may be a little extreme, the relationship I have with it may surprise you.
Haters gonna hate and so do I
Hate may be a strong word but I will use it here anyway because writing "massive dislike" takes longer.
There are so many quotes and even religious texts about money that it would warrant a whole website to contain it. Most of them for me are codswallop anyway. That hate for money comes from the reason that it causes so much stress to myself and everyone. Where you have no money or all the money in the world, it still causes stress. Many relationships die because of the argument about money, apparently - I am not an expert here.
The bottom line here is that I could live without it. Humans lived for many generations without it, and so could I.
HOWEVER!
The world today requires you to have money. You cannot buy anything anywhere without it. You cannot go to your local fuel station and say, "Fill up the tank and I will give you 50 kgs of [insert produce here]". They would just walk away laughing.
The Love Affair.
I don't love money but I love the opportunities it affords myself and my family. I am not worried about anybody else. Yes, that's probably selfish but its true. I love the ability to take my family out for a meal or a trip to the local game reserve or a simple treat for my kids. It also gives me the ability to support my hobbies that I enjoy like Lego because that "ain't cheap".
That is why I like money. I get told that because I am an accountant and business coach that I should love money but I still don't know why this is. Is it because I work with money daily?
Whatever the reason, I get strange looks when I say I hate money and honestly, if the world permitted it, I would do what I do for free. I enjoy helping people and I would do it. UNFORTUNATELY, I cannot do it for free so I charge for my time and expertise as an accountant and coach.
Let's see how we can make sure your business makes more money by working together.
