It’s actually a story- a carrot, egg, and coffee beans put into a pot with water then was boiled for 15 minutes. Are you going to be a carrot that was hard but once put in the boiling water or in an environment you come out soft or an egg that was soft at first then when you come out from an environment you’ve become hard or are you going to change the environment, be a coffee that can change what’s going around you?

Clason. The principles taught in the Richest Man in Babylon are easy ways to think about how to manage money, debt, relationship, how to look at a long game, and if you look at a long game how to follow a recipe. Here’s a thing, if you follow a recipe don’t get greedy and stupid, just do things that are reasonable. Don’t try to get rich quick, if you’re making 10% 15% or 20% on an investment that’s great! Celebrate! Don’t think you have to double and triple every year.

When it comes to creating contextual; relevant content for your target demographic is going to take you far above what you could possibly imagine when it comes to competing with your competitors. That could be several mediums like writing, video, podcast, etc. This is why knowing your target demographic is so important because if your target demographic is not listening to your podcast then don't put it on your podcast. If they're not reading articles don't put it in your articles. Creating contextual marketing to your target demographic that is relevant to them is important. The purest definition of content marketing is answering the questions of your target demographic or audience has about your industry, services, or products.Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?
