Money is like water.
One of the key things to understand when learning about money is why it flows. Money is never stagnant. Stagnant money has no value. Currency must be transacted! And like water, money must flow.
So, how does water flow?
The cycle of precipitation.
A cloud comes. It rains. The water falls to the ground. It moves on and below the surface with gravity. It either joins or creates a stream. The stream moves that water downhill to a river, lake, sea or ocean. The water then evaporates back up to create a cloud.
Water is always moving.
Money is too.
People think that money is in these large stagnant pools, hidden in people’s bank accounts. That’s not true! Money is constantly moving. All the time.
If you can find a way to get between it and stand in the right place at the right time, then you will get wet.
If you follow the footprints of money, they will lead you down a path. Along that path money will have been dropped from its pockets, ready for the taking. All you have to do is follow it. Be willing to walk the unseen path.
Nobody but central banks make money, but we do have the ability to take it from one another through mutual agreements and transactions.
So, if you stand in the rain, you will get wet!
