\"Cash.png\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always enjoyed making money more than having it. Having money is nice, but it\u2019s only a blip on my life contentment scale. I\u2019m no fan of poverty, but the difference between $40,000 per year and $400,000 isn\u2019t that much.<\/p>\n

Despite these simple tastes, I\u2019ve always been keenly interested in making money. Making money is fun and challenging. Running a business is both complex and simple at the same time, and the artists of making money need to know how to balance both. It requires a diverse set of skills, but also rewards people who can specialize carefully. To me, making money is one of the best games ever discovered.<\/p>\n

I can remember writing on a forum post for internet entrepreneurs, several years back. One person was complaining about the difficulties of living on a small income. I quipped that if he could afford a high-speed internet connection, he already had enough money and should just enjoy the process of making it. Pretty trite, I know, but the idea still sticks with me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve known many people who have become obsessed with one game or another. They read all the strategies, practice and go to incredible lengths to be good at this game. The game is fun, but when it ends, nothing more has been accomplished. Nobody is better off, now that they have mastered this game.<\/p>\n

Not true with the game of making money. When you make money, you\u2019re exchanging value you\u2019ve created for money. I use the words \u201cmaking\u201d money literally because that is what you are doing. Currency is just pieces of paper. They are a medium of exchanging value between two people. When you \u201cmake\u201d money, you might not be printing dollar bills, but you\u2019ve created the essence of what drives value around.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t Money-Making a Selfish, Evil, Greedy Pursuit?<\/h2>\n

It seems our cultural consciousness has made the connection between \u201cmaking\u201d money and stealing money. Rich people aren\u2019t generating value, they\u2019re just feeding off the hard work of people around them. The only way to get rich is to make somebody else poor. Virtuous people don\u2019t engage themselves in the dirty business of making money.<\/p>\n

I think this confusion arises because many people are motivated by having money, not making<\/em> it. They want to have money, so that means that they use whatever combination of cheating, stealing and creating that gets them the biggest payoff the fastest. That can be a dirty business, so I understand why some people have made some negative associations.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re actually creating money, the situation is completely different. Since you\u2019re creating value, you\u2019re adding back to the world. The game isn\u2019t zero sum. There are winners without losers in the game of making money.<\/p>\n

What About Open Source?<\/h2>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be more virtuous to create, and then distribute for free? Isn\u2019t making money, if not completely evil, at least a neutral activity?<\/p>\n

I believe in the power of free. Giving away free stuff isn\u2019t just humanitarian, it\u2019s a business strategy. Ninety percent of what I work on is free. Free content is the television advertisement of the 21st century. When distributions and production have almost no costs, free content is a great tactic in the game of making money.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t agree with complete selflessness. If you forgo any profits, you starve the very vehicle that creates value. Being without revenues means it\u2019s difficult (or impossible) to pay for the fixed costs associated with creation. Making money is a win-win situation. Win-lose situations of theft and cheating, along with lose-win situations of complete sacrifice are not ideal.<\/p>\n

I think open source initiatives are just the beginning of a new business strategy built on free.  It’s not breaking the idea of making money (which is, at the core, exchanging value) but simply giving it a new form.  It’s adding an expansion pack to the original game.<\/p>\n

Playing the Game<\/h2>\n

There are many ways you can play the game. If you have a job, you\u2019re already playing it. You\u2019re probably just running a particularly boring version of the game. Entrepreneurship, particularly online entrepreneurship, is another version of the game. It\u2019s more difficult, but the challenges are more interesting.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m an advocate for online entrepreneurship because it changes the way the game is played. Regular businesses require capital investments, employees, a fixed location and considerable risk before getting started. Online entrepreneurship can be done with one person, anywhere you have a laptop and for only a few dollars a month.<\/p>\n

The game isn\u2019t easy, but it\u2019s incredibly fun. Best of all, when you win, it isn\u2019t game over. The value you create trickles down to other people and you get to enjoy a little more luxury yourself. Even if having the money wasn\u2019t nearly as fun as making it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
