Change is good….dollars are better

by

Randy R Cox

The transformation of labor into money is a learned process.  If you want to accumulate money, you must

apply your labor to the acquisition of wealth.  Applying labor is an art rather than a science.  Where you apply your labor determines the return you will receive.  With the same expense of labor a fisherman can get more fish out of good water than he can in bad.

How you apply your labor also determines your return.  You can push against a stone wall and wear yourself out and yet never move the wall.  If you find a weak spot in the wall and apply a tool with leverage, then the wall may move.  How you apply your labor is important.

In a highly sophisticated market economy, the division of labor is important to understand.  You can not Money to Burn, 1893

acquire wealth efficiently doing all the work yourself.  You must purchase the labor of those more efficient than you at a price that returns more than your expense.

Your labor should be distributed among the various labors in such a way as to make the cumulative cost of all labor (including your own) less than the price you will receive for your production.

This is the trick to making money.  It is complex…but simple.  If you are skilled in making the decisions of an entrepreneur, you will make money.  If you make bad decisions, you will lose.

You must first labor to acquire capital savings.  As your capital grows, you will have the means to purchase the labor of others more efficient than you.  The division of labor allows the efficiency of your production to grow exponentially beyond your wildest imagination.

In the beginning, you can develop capital with little more than your own labor.  As your capital grows, you can grow your production of wealth by purchasing the labor of others in areas where they are more efficient than you.

If you make a mistake and pay labor more than you can receive for that labor, then you will have to make up the loss in expense by adding even more of your own labor to the project or the next project to make up your loss.

Just as a pilot steadily adjusts his course toward his destination, so will the entrepreneur adjust his decisions and labor toward the end of making as much money as he can in the most efficient manner.

It is not a single action, but an ongoing process.  Goals must be set, plans must be implemented and results observed.  When the results are positive, they need be repeated and improved.  When they are negative, they need to be adjusted to a more positive result.

The driver of an automobile constantly adjusts the steering wheel.  A new driver makes a thousand decisions as he adjusts the wheel, but with experience instinct and skill take over.  The decisions are still made but they are more sub-conscious than conscious, more instinctive and intuitive than decisive.

Just as we learn to drive a car, we must learn to apply labor, and later capital to the pursuit of money.  It will become easier in time.  The important thing is to take the first steps; get moving!  The money will follow as our skills develop.

It doesn’t require genius.  Plenty of wealthy people are dull witted.  It requires perseverance and work.

I see signs that the United States is giving up its place as industrial leader of the world. I see a lack of vision, and a decrease in employment opportunity vs. reward for that work for more and more people. As third world nations emerge, they bring with them an eager workforce eager to work for less than Americans. This would require great vision and imagination plus a concern for our own workforce inorder to remain competitive. I don’t see any of this.

The rich get richer and the poor stay poor. Wages are going down. In the past, a good job could make one rich, but it is becoming less and less important to the goal of wealth.
Even in the most economically depressed countries, skill and discipline in buying and selling can make one wealthy. So this is our goal.

You don’t have to have a lot of money to start. Find something as common as aluminum cans, sell it as Buying and Sellingscrap, then use that money to buy something cheap that you can sell for more. Sell something that you don’t need and use that as seed money. You can grow your way into large deals so long as you remember your cost includes acquisition expense, handling, transportation, and delivery costs.

Adjust your margins to fit your experience. Your margin is the spread between what you buy it for and what you sell it for, including all expenses. Be honest in your accounting. Low price items require larger margins than expensive items.

For thousands of years traders have made fortunes moving merchandise to the far reaches of the world, but today, you can reach almost anywhere electronically in a moment. Ebay and other auction sites like that make the whole world your market.

If you buy at the right price, your item will almost sell itself. Buy cheap! Sell dear!

Research what people are wanting. Trends change. If you acquire something but the market shifts before you sell it, you’ll lose money. Don’t agonize over bad deals. Mark your item down and move it out. Learn something then move forward to the next deal.

See what is hot on ebay, or 50.lycos.com, or ubercool.com. Buy and sell what you are most interested in and know about. If a search on ebay shows lots of auctions with no bids, pick something else. Do a wildcard search on ebay for “a” or “the” in price ranges equal to the range of capital you are comfortable risking. Look through those items for something that sparks your interest.

Develop your market sense; use your intuition. The better you are at picking items in demand the faster you complete your deals.

How to price your items? The market prices your items for you. What you pay for it doesn’t matter. What matters is what the market is willing to bear. If you pay too much you lose. If you pay very little, the profit is yours. Price according to you what the market is willing to pay. You want to acquire at a price low enough to allow you to price slightly below market.

You have more control over what you pay for something than what you sell it for. You can’t sell it for what you want; you sell it for what someone wants to pay. When you are buying, you are the one in control. Make sure you buy cheap!

As you are building your capital, your time is a consideration but you can’t always price your time when building investment capital. As you grow more skilled and your investments larger, you can build your time spent into the deal.

Don’t overbuy! Consider your available storage space and work with what you have. Turn your inventory! Get rid of your mistakes, even if you have to give them away. Mistakes staring you in the eye erode your confidence. Get them out of your sight and move forward.

Establish a market protocol. Maybe you’ll try to sell large ticket items locally through a classified ad. If that doesn’t work list it on ebay. If that doesn’t work try a free listing on craigslist. Lower the price until it sells. Develop backup markets. Backup your backup. If you lose money, learn something from your mistake and be more careful on the next deal.

The Positive Power of Negative Thinking by Professor J.K. Norem

There comes a time when we need to recognize and embrace the positive power of negative thinking.  Are you in a Positive rut? Have you been reciting afirmations without any of the promised results? Are you beginning to have doubts about all that positive motivation? Is it possible that it works for others but not you? Maybe you’ve learned how to put a positive front on a deep seated negative conviction that you can’t get what you want?

Maybe it’s time to try a different angle.

Interrupt your behavior pattern

Think outside the box

Consider


Randy R. Cox

The power of positive action has become so important in western culture, that few would challenge it.  How about the power of negative action?  There is magic in a positive thought, but what magic can be found in a negative thought?

Negative thinking is just the exact opposite of positive thinking, right?  Maybe!  Maybe not.  It depends on your angle of approach.  You can use negative actions in very positive ways.  The fact that so few consider it, means it is a tool of surprise.  No one expects it; therefore it can be even more powerful than positive action.

power of negative action

Letters From Grandma showing power of negative action

In art, an artist can use negative space  to intensify the positive image.  Negative space in a painting is the part of the paper or canvas that is blank.  Notice in my example here how Michael Atkinson uses the negative space to suggest fog, snow, mist, sand or whatever the imagination can conceive.  The white space is unrestrained in meaning.  It is suggestive.  It hints only enough to get the juices of the viewer flowing.  It is dynamic and lives in the viewer as well as the artist.  It makes a much larger statement than a rigid fully contained detail.  When the detail is explicit,  it may or may not suit the viewer’s taste, but when left to the mind of the viewer, it will be filled in exactly as the viewer wants it to be.  It becomes a conversation of visual art rather than a lecture.

Art is never distinct from life or business.  It always reflects life.  Negative action in life and business can be similar to the experience we have in art.

The Power of negative action is simply the power of not doing of something.  It is common in negotiation for a nervous bargainer to talk too much.  While the more experience negotiator remains silent, the nervous one will tell everything he knows, trying to fill the uncomfortable void.  Silence is a negative action.  Like the white space in a painting, silence can say whatever the listener wants it to say.  A highly skilled negotiator should learn to feel comfort in silence.  It gives one strength.  When two equally skilled negotiators meet, each allowing the other to fill the void with information and nervous talk, a smile soon crosses the face of each as they learn to respect the skill of the other.  A stronger bond can result from silence between the skilled than could ever result in two novices talking over each other and going nowhere.

There is also a place for negative action in the budget.  It is easy to throw money at a problem, but sometimes it is better to not spend money.  Sometimes it is better to avoid the expense by doing nothing than to make a problem worse by spending and spending and spending.  The United States Government could take a lesson here.  No action is often better than bad action.

I tried to quit smoking for decades.  If I asked anyone, smoker or non-smoker if they thought my trying to quit was a positive action, they would all agree.  It was a positive action, but it always had a negative result.  I always started smoking again.

Too tired to take on another  “stop smoking campaign”, I just decided not to smoke anymore.  I didn’t have to do anything.  In fact, after the decision, as long as I did nothing else, I was done.  It was that simple.  It may sound crazy, but that was seven years ago; I’ve never smoked another cigarette since.  The most fantastic thing is I had to do nothing at all to accomplish what I had failed in all those years to trying this and that to no avail.

It was the power of negative action.

As I write this, it occurs to me that I’m almost 30 lbs overweight.  I’ve been eating all the right foods, with the occasional bowl of ice cream, or large pizza, or sugary soft drink to celebrate.  The more I celebrated my diet actions, the more excess weight I’ve put on. I can’t go on this way.  I’m tired.  I think I’ll just quit eating and see what happens.  Let nature do all the work.  Okay, I’ll eat a little, but mostly I’ll just be lazy and do nothing and see what happens.  I’ll give negative action one more test and see if it will work on my eating problem the same way it did for my smoking problem.

The sad thing is that it seems such an astonishing concept.  Negative Action?  To lose weight, just don’t eat.  It seems too easy to be true.  Positive thinking is still important, but we need a little balance in our life.  We need the power of negative thinking.  We need to utilize intelligent negative action.

One more great thing about negative action is that we can add a lot of good negative action to our agenda without crowding out the positive actions.  Most of us have  more on our ‘to do” list than we can possibly get done.  We can add all the new negative things to our list and they will take up zero time except for the time it takes to write them down and moniter them.  We don’t have to do anything, just do nothing and in about 21 days we can call it a habit and mark it as done.

So much attention is placed on positive thinking in our modern culture, we lose the power of  negative thinking because we don’t consider it.  What a mistake?

I tried for 30 years to quit smoking.  I failed so many times, I was disgusted with myself.  One day, I decided to take another approach.  Instead of quitting which is a positive action that requires me to do something and persist with it forever, I decided to just not smoke anymore.  Whew!  The thought of that overwhelms me.  I didn’t have to do anything.  All I had to do was not smoke!  As long as I did nothing, I was finished with tobacco.

The same is true of losing weight.  Diets are hard.  We have to count calories, watch what we eat, when we eat it, and how much we exercise.  If we just stop eating, we will lose weight!

For every positive thought that has value, there can be an inverse application of that value when considered from another angle.   For every positive action, there is an equal and opposite negative action.

Never think that some term is not subject to change.  All things are negotiable, and everything worth doing in life demands negotiation.  As your skill improves you’ll want to stay in control of all things.  That doesn’t mean it won’t be wise to let some things be determined by the will of others.  It means you decide when the other person has his way.

If you do it well, those times will serve your interest and keep your negotiation partner feeling very good about him.  Win/win negotiation is very much about being able to get what you want and giving the other side what they want as well.

All things are negotiable.

You can use persuasion to convince them that what is good for you is exactly what they want.  Negotiation is moving them to your position.

Negotiate hard, but then give back what needs to be given back.  When you give back concessions the other side has already made it puts you in control and it also puts you in their camp.  It makes you a full partner!

You want your partner to feel you give back out of concern and never weakness.  The moment you sense they perceive weakness, is the moment to stop giving.

You can and should negotiate even the smallest of terms.  I have had store clerks agree to accept less for single purchases scanned with a scanner.  If I went through with those deals, I’m sure the difference would have come out of their own pocket.  A smile and a giveback are appropriate here, but it is great practice to know the control is mine.

Explore and experiment with your negotiations but keep in mind long term objectives are more important than the short term.

An old proverb says, “You can sheer a sheep many times, but you can only skin it once!”

  • Keep your customer and your source for the next deal.
  • Keep your reputation; be firm but fair.
  • Don’t be too easy.
  • Never kick a negotiating partner when he is down.

The video below is very entertaining.  Watch it twice!  The first time just enjoy it!  The second time, pay attention to the skilled way the negotiator gets to the deal he wants.  He is persistent and he is effective.

Some blogs follow, some do not!  Blogs that follow appreciate the two way value of a conversation.   Those with something to say need not waste their time with blogs that do not want to listen or allow their readers a chance to voice their own opinion.

There have always been conversations about money. Ever since man first began using pretty shells to trade between one cave and another, people have been exchanging ideas on how to achieve wealth.

Now that we have the internet, the conversations take place across great distances. Once only the most adventuresome merchants learned the new secrets of acquisition from far away places, but today we can travel almost anywhere electronically.

The old media was a one way event. The printed book, newspaper, or even the noble handbill was the work of one distributed to the many. There was no interaction unless the reader decided to publish his own opinion.

Freedom of Speech


Freedom of Speech

With the internet, one can participate in the global discussion simply by reading a blog and leaving a comment.

There are some old dogs that are used to doing all the talking. They don’t want to listen. They want to tell the world what to do and have the world listen without interruption. That’s nice, but I’ll have as little to do with that as possible.

I’m not interested in blogs that do not allow comment. I have a voice and I have ears to hear others. My comments will be open and the blogs I read will have their comments open as well.

Some bloggers do not want to share the reputation of their blog with their readers. They block the search engines from following the comments of their readers. I prefer reading blogs that allow and encourage the search engines to follow. I allow it and I expect others to do the same.

There are directories that list blogs that “do follow.” I rely on those directories to find the blogs I read. Give these blogs a try!

Beggars have been around forever. If only we could teach a beggar to sell. The best of them beg only long enough to get a job stake and then go back to work. Others make a fortune.

The Old Beggar

A good beggar can make over a hundred thousand per year working less than forty hours a week. I once circled the block to give money to a man with a little girl beside him. The sign said, “have job in Tulsa, need gas to get there.” I gave him a twenty dollar bill, but in the time it took to circle back I saw three others drive by and hand him folding money. If he got twenty from each of them, that would be a hundred dollars in less than five minutes.

Begging is one of the highest paid professions with the lowest prestige!

The worst beggars are the winos and drug addicts. In their chemical stupor, they only beg, or pan handle long enough to get a fix. They never accumulate any money. They usually won’t even waste money for food. For them begging is a means to slow suicide. You can’t help them until they decide they want to be helped. They are usually dead men walking.

I undestand why some people beg. I don’t have a problem with someone that finds themselves so down and out that begging is the only way they can get a hand back up. I’d rather see them sell a little something, like a pencil, or a flower, or better a shoe shine. See how that progresses from begging to a genuine service that we could use more of in the world.

Give money to a beggar; feed him for a meal. Teach a beggar to sell and you feed him for a lifetime.

How to buy and sell art for profit is more than just a way to make  a little money.Finding and bargaining for valuable art is an adventure of mystery and intrigue. It can be profitable beyond imagination. This week a relative called for advice on how to frame an old painting he had bought at a church auction in a small town in the Midwest.

As an art dealer the first thing I did was ask if he could read the name of the artist. Very slowly he spelled it out, “ Henry Cleenewerck.” There are a lot of old artists, and I don’t know them all. I didn’t know this one, so I did a quick check on the internet. Wow! This guy was born in 1825 in Belgium and visited the United States in 1854. He died in 1901 after a long career in art.

I did a little more checking and found out his work was hanging in museums around the world. I could only find a small painting currently available and the gallery was asking $8000 for a study that was nice but probably not a definitive work.  The painting to the left is just a sample of Cleenewerck’s work.

My relative described the painting that he had as having a tipi village with Indians and on Indian riding a horse across a river. There were mountains in the background. There is a great market for that type of painting. I estimated the painting to be worth between 20 and 40 thousand dollars in a good market. There is always a chance such a painting could go for ten times as much in a spirited auction between two well-heeled collectors.

I asked how much he had paid. He said there had been a second bidder to run the price up. He had paid $50.

Now this was a find of a lifetime, and not a likely event for most people. However it is always a possibility when searching for art.

In a field where even experts are lacking in knowledge, you might think it difficult for a beginner to compete with the real players, but it is really just the opposite. Art is such a subjective enterprise the rules are not written in stone. A beginner can develop an eye for what is good and what is not so good in a surprisingly short period.

I remember an expert art critic not so many years ago describing the exquisite manner in which a sculptor had carved a bronze. Bronzes are cast—not carved. There is much pomp and pretense in the art business. There is always a place for a non-expert in a world like this. New dealers from the grass roots do well quickly and keep the whole business down to earth.

Art and the business of art are related but distinct. A great work of art may not be worth much money while a piece of junk might fetch a fortune. What is hot one decade may fade into oblivion the next.

History, aesthetics, and public relations are as important in the market price of art as the intrinsic value of the art itself. There are rules but not hard and fast rules. There are cases where a forger fakes a work by a famous artist only to have time reverse their roles. The forgery may become worth more than the original.

So how do you buy and sell art for a profit? The short answer is to just do it! You may not be an expert, but you know what you like. That is the first step. If you like it someone else will like it. If you learn to negotiate well, you can buy at a good price and sell at a better one.

It may sound silly, but when a dealer buys something he likes and has trouble selling it for a profit, he learns to not like that kind of art. When he buys something he doesn’t like because the price is right, it doesn’t take long for him to like it better. Without the fancy words of an art expert describing how bronze is “carved”, this is the way taste develops. Taste changes over time and good taste is just taste with the seasoning of experience.

If you know what you like, you can buy and sell art at a profit.

It is time to consider how to use art to illustrate your blog and website.  It is a problem to locate the right image to make your point, but if you use art, the job gets easier and your presentation looks better.  Your words may sing, but a picture is worth a thousand words.   You need a visual image to bring your words come to life.  Art Critic

It takes time and talent to shoot your own photographs, and you’re almost certain to run into copyright issues sooner or later.  Getting the credits exactly right to satisfy the owner of a photo is awkward and ugly.  Who needs a lawsuit?  Public domain photos take a lot of time to find, and you can never trust your right to use them.

There is a far better solution.  Art!  It softens your website and imparts class.

You could search the net for artwork that matches the subject you are writting about.  Most artists would be flattered and pleased to grant permission for you to use their artwork to illustrate yours, especially if you make it clickable and send the viewer to another link where they can purchase the piece or see others of the same style.

This is a great way to illustrate your writing but it takes time to secure the artist’s permission.  There is an even  better way.  You not only get instant artist quality images (like the one above), but you stand a chance of making a small commission if a reader decides to buy it.

If you follow the link provided by the banner below, you can sign up as an affiliate and use your choice of over 500,000 posters and fine art prints.  You can find something there that will be perfect for whatever you are writing about.  Wow!  It will add class and consistency to your blog or website like you never dreamed.  It will make illustration quick and easy.

Want to know how to make big money selling little things?  The best way to get started is to sell lots of little things.    If your path to success has been slower than you’d like, it could be that your way is clogged. The little things get in your way, slow you down. If you are like most Americans you have more little things than you need, yet they are too good to throw away. You can turn those little things into big money and make your life better at the same time.

Once you’ve learned to buy at the lower prices and sell for the higher prices, you no longer need to store all that stuff that is holding you back.

Don’t store it; sell it!

You don’t need it. If you’ve been saving it because you might need it, then sell it now at a good price and buy it later when you do need it at a lower price. This way you can let the money grow instead of letting the dust collect. If you don’t need it right this minute…you don’t need it at all. Sell it.

If you can’t sell it, you don’t need it.

Have you noticed that some of the stuff you save for the day you need it seems too old to use when you finally do need it? Sell it. If you can’t sell it, throw it out! Sometimes the best way to know something is worthless is to put it on the garage sale table at mark down prices. If no one wants it; you don’t need it either. Sell it or trash it!Garage Sale

Things have only so much value.

They may be family heirlooms, but if you can’t remember which side of the family or which relative goes with the item, sell it! Protect the genuine heirlooms but sell the rest. You need the money and the space.

Don’t Hoard it.

If you’ve been saving it because it will be worth something some day, half the people in your world probably saved it as well. Sell it! If there is no market now, you probably won’t live long enough for the rest of the world to toss theirs. Move it out.

Use it!

In the garage, under the kitchen sink, and tucked away in all sorts of place, stuff hides–lots of little bottles, cans, and boxes. Some are too ugly to sale. Use it up. You’ll find a lot of it dried out or out of date. Use it or lose it.

Ebay

Do an advanced search for completed Ebay auctions of the item you have. If the money is good, list it on Ebay. Some people make a living selling stuff on ebay. You’ll be amazed, but you have to do the searches to know what is likely to sell there from what is not. Remember the cost of shipping might make Ebay the wrong market. If there are many unsold auctions of this item, don’t waste your listing fee.

Craigslist

For larger items, too bulky or heavy for efficient shipping, Craigslist is the perfect place to sell. The nice thing about Craigslist is the price—free for most things. While you are poking around on Craigslist you’ll be getting to know a good source for all those things you used to keep. Wait until you need them, go to Craigslist, drive a hard bargain, buy what you need, use it, and then resell for a potential profit. Most people won’t bother driving a hard bargain.

Free website

Get yourself a free website and put photos of all your junk. Put an ad on Craigslist to sell it cheap and refer your prospects to your website photos. If you can’t sell it, trade it for best offer. Some people love the excitement of the trade, and you can exchange an item that is almost worthless for an item that is actually worth something to you.

You can box up several related items and sell the whole box on Craigslist for a package price. One trick that works well for me is to list an item or group at a good price and then re-list it after a day or two as reduced in price. Keep reducing the price until it is free. Be careful giving away free stuff on Craigslist. A lot of bad people use a free offer as an excuse to rummage around your house to steal stuff. If they get caught they just claim they were responding to the ad. Be very careful, but cash in on the little things you don’t need.

Tools

Some people love tools. I have special tools that I bought years ago that are still in the package they came from. Keep the tools you actually use; sell the ones you don’t. All those tools that you might need someday can be sold for a better price than you’ll have to pay if and when you do need them.

If you save them, they may become obsolete before you use them. There is no longer a reason to keep tools around. Sell them. Tools sell quickly.

Garage sale

After you have tried to sell your merchandise through Ebay, Craigslist, and your website, you’ll have lots of junk left over. Save some bigger ticket items as special attractions and hold a garage sale or yard sale. Mark the prices down lower and lower. Have a free table for those things that nobody wants. Finally you’ll have tested your stuff. Some of it will convert to money. Some of it has been ready for the waste bin for ages, and now you know. You’ve done well!

Develop your negotiation skills.

If you don’t yet feel you’ve developed the skills to buy low and sell high, use some of the money you make selling the little things to buy more little things. Learn to negotiate a better deal when buying and selling the little things.  That skill set will transfer when you are buying and selling the bigger things.

It won’t take long; you’ll be amazed how fast you learn and how exciting the whole process is. There is a reason why the super rich continue making deals long past the point of their need. Once you’ve accumulated millions or billions of dollars, you’ll still want to make a good deal, because it is fun!
