There are several reasons why I couldn't earn income, but I'll tell you one important thing.

There was a time when I hit rock bottom financially.
There was a period when I really couldn't earn anything at all.

Even though I should have been able to earn normally until then, I couldn't.
Everything I tried backfired.

The more I struggled to earn, the more I found myself unable to earn.
I wondered why I had been able to generate money until recently, but now things weren't going well.
Only my impatience grew.

At that time, I took a break to change the flow of things.
Forgetting everything, I slowly gazed at the sea and thought deeply about my business and work.
What would sell, what kind of ideas and what kind of process should I use to sell?
Once I calmed down, I tried to organize my ideas and roadmap.

Then, I was able to return to my usual self, earning money again.

Here, I realized why I had become unable to earn.
It was also the moment I gained a hint as to why people can earn and why they cannot.

At that time, I was pushed by 'impatience' and couldn't see what customers wanted.
Furthermore, I even lost clarity on what I was trying to sell.

In other words, it's about 'peace of mind' and 'calmly assessing what is necessary'.

If you can't see the start or the goal, you won't be able to reach anywhere.
Your ideas, imagination, creativity, all of it was sealed away by 'impatience'.
As a result, I kept trying things that seemed to make money, leading to a continuous string of failures.

Because there's no room to spare, you lose your calm judgment.
Because you lose your calm judgment, you become even less able to earn money.
That's how such a terrible vicious cycle was born.

A situation where no matter what you do, you can't earn money.
It's a state where you've lost sight of both the start and the goal, blindly reaching out.

When people are impatient, they try to earn money, even if it means ignoring their true self.

If you don't have peace of mind, you can't organize your current situation and end up doing various things aimlessly.
In the end, that won't lead to money.

First, you must clarify 'what you are trying to sell to whom'.
After that, you have to execute, and if it's wrong, correct it and try again, and keep repeating that.

But impatience and lack of composure strip away all that thought.
And you fall into an unprofitable way of thinking, trying to do everything.

Everything stems from peace of mind.

Forget about what's in front of you for a moment and look at new businesses and jobs with a clear eye.
If you don't have time to think about the future without any noise, you'll end up just looking for ways to earn money for now.
Impatience and the desire for immediate self-realization entangle your judgment, making you forget to think carefully.

It was only after losing many things along with money that I finally understood a lot.

When people are in a hurry, they try to do anything to earn money.
This is the state where you earn the least.

First, you must forcibly put yourself in a mentally free state.
For once, forget everything and clear your mind.
Then, try to organize what you want to sell to whom, and how you will sell it.

There's no need to jump on someone else's seemingly lucrative offer.
There's no need to step into a gray area.

By the way, this might be a slight digression, but the content of the work also changes.

People who are truly earning money can proudly say, "I do this kind of work."
They can proudly explain that their work is something to be proud of.
It's cool, admired, and contributes to society.

People who are half-heartedly trying to "earn money" cannot do this.

They quickly get caught up in information like earning with a smartphone or readily available information, and they fail.
They do as they're told without knowing what they want to sell to whom or how to sell it, and they fail.

That's because they are on the exploited side and are not executing the mechanisms or logic of the earning side.
Any good story taught by someone is just "a tool given to you for exploitation."

I tell people that if they truly want to earn money, they should do work they can be proud of, work that can openly contribute to society.
Developing those abilities firmly within yourself is important for survival.

In fact, if you can calmly state what you sell to whom and for what purpose, you can sell anything.
People are automatically drawn to those who can be proud of their work, so money naturally comes in.
Ultimately, you reach for immediate, quick money-making methods and end up taking a detour.

Besides, if you're going to earn money anyway, wouldn't you want to do it in a way that makes others admire you?

You want to work proudly, doing something you can be proud of and that contributes to society, don't you?
Wouldn't you want to be excited, doing a job that gathers praise and earns respect?

For example, do you want to build a brand by gathering wads of cash in both hands and buying someone's heart with money?
I don't want to do things that generally make people in society go 'ugh'.
You'll make many enemies, and it's troublesome.

It's better to be able to confidently hand over your business card, saying 'I'm doing work that benefits this world,' isn't it?
I want to do work I can be proud of and achieve the self-realization I aspire to.

Isn't that the honest truth for most people as well?

Deep down, everyone wants to live stylishly, cutely, and beautifully.
But if you don't have the leeway, you can't afford to think about such things, so you cling to anything to try and earn money.
If possible, you want a path where you don't engage in dubious things or deceive people.

Then, you gradually lose your composure and destroy the cycle for earning money yourself.
To begin with, one of the big reasons is not being able to properly draw a roadmap for earning money when you've lost your leeway.

If you intend to change your life this year.
For a moment, calm down and try to be firmly aware of how you should sell.
