Simon’s Notes

One of the most important things to take into consideration when you’re on the path to money making success, is your own organizational skills. Being organized is a discipline that is not always easy to master, for some of us, like me, we never really understand how its done. But the outcome for neglecting this simple fact can vary from mild annoyance to complete disaster, usually it tends to complete disaster.

If you that you are one of those people that never know what time it is, never know how much money you have (or don’t have), and you’re always running to your mom for clean underwear, here’s a few pointers that you should pin up on your bathroom mirror.

Buy a watch.
Make it a point to exercise and shower every day, you’ll be amazed at what this can do for you. Even a half hour walk in the morning will do wonders.
Make a schedule for you days, weeks, month, and your life in general.
Try your best to follow that schedule.
Make a budget. If you don’t know how, don’t worry, do a google search. Its not that hard.
Don’t impulse buy. If you’re an impulse buyer by nature, make it a goal never to buy anything until you have slept on it for one night at least.
Sit down and write some goals for your life.
Organize your goals and try to develop a strategy for attaining them.
Sleep for at least 8-9 hours a day. If you don’t want to do it at night, do it during the day.

If you start following even some of these guidelines you’ll notice a difference. And whether you’re making money online or on the streets won’t matter anymore, because you’ll find it much easier to cope with the needed responsibilities.

For the longest time, when I heard the word ‘inventor,’ it reminded me of the black and white movie ‘Thomas Edison’ that I used to watch as a kid. Until the day my parents became close friends with an inventor, that whole scene seemed like a thing of the past, or something to complicated to even dream about (since all the easy stuff has already been done). But all of a sudden, I began to find inventors everywhere, and they weren’t particularly sophisticated or complicated either, a few aren’t even qualified to do what they are doing, they just have a dream, a lot of drive, and they’re a little nuts.

If you have a little creativity in you, then I’d say that inventing is definitely a money maker. Of course, like most other things, it comes with a lot of failure and hard work. Thomas Edison tried thousands of materials before he found one that worked, when asked why he continued despite his failures, he replied ‘I haven’t failed, I simply found 10,000 things that didn’t work’.

For me, the thing that simplified the whole ‘invention’ mystery was when I realised that inventing something is just like painting a picture, doing some graphic design, programing, designing a website, or writing a book. Sure its difficult, but it can be done.

One thing I always wanted to invent was a new board game (maybe I still will). I love playing board games myself, my favorites being monopoly and risk. A board game wouldn’t be too hard I think. Maybe something similar to monopoly but with less chance. Once you design it, you could make one yourself and try it out with your friends. The next step would obviously be getting it printed and marketing it, but I think that’s the easy part. I would take it to my local printers and find out from them where I could get it done. Get a few hundred, or thousand, copies made and then offer it to stores. Don’t forget to talk to a lawyer about any legal matters such as copyrights and all that, you don’t want someone else reaping the benefits of your hard work.

Other than board games, there is tons of stuff, just play around at home. You could do some fun toys for kids, but be creative. You might even come up with something useful like a light switch that reads your mind or something. I like the toys and games though.

Here’s some cool ones:

Have fun.
