Once a person becomes enlightened, it will be much easier to make money
Intelligence and ignorance may coexist in a person.
A person may be highly educated and knowledgeable, but he may also be ignorant when it comes to making money. Because in this regard, he is not yet enlightened.
When people’s minds are chaotic, no matter how hard they try, they can only struggle at the bottom.
Once you become enlightened and your thinking becomes smooth, it will be easy to make money.

When Nanny worked as a salesperson in a luxury store, her main job was to help customers try on clothes.
She focused all her attention on her guests. Constantly trying to figure out their financial resources and preferences, running back and forth with clothes, helping them match and adjust them, just to do their best to facilitate the order.
At the end of the day, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and my energy was exhausted. When I got home, I fell asleep.
The same work was repeated the next day, and the cycle continued.
Until one day, she accidentally saw her figure carrying someone else’s shoes in the fitting mirror and was stunned for a moment.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar self, she suddenly realized that this was not the life she wanted.
She absolutely cannot spend her whole life doing this kind of hard, humble, and devoid-of-growth work.
It was this moment of awakening that brought about earth-shaking changes in her life.
She resigned decisively and moved from clothing sales to the marketing department of a company, responsible for brand planning and event promotion.
Analyzing past experiences, she found that she was good at dealing with people.
Working in the marketing department will undoubtedly quickly enhance her abilities in this area and allow her to grow.
After two years of hard work, she changed careers again and moved to a leading company in the tourism industry.
She reviewed her past and felt that she had accumulated rich strategic experience and communication skills and needed to use her skills on a larger platform.
After entering the travel business, she began handling the company’s relationships with various external media.
Start with the most basic email writing every day to practice your logic and writing skills.
Later, he was responsible for the cooperation between departments and exercised his coordination and organizational skills.
During this period, I learned the company’s business model and system operations, took over important business resources, and accumulated a large number of contacts.
In the end, she resigned and founded her own company. She had her own career and her status doubled.
In her speech at the business school, she mentioned that the secret to making money is actually getting started.
The enlightenment lasts only a moment, but the impact lasts a lifetime.
When you realize that you cannot earn hard money without growth at the expense of yourself, you will actively select and do things that truly grow and make sense.
Behind money, there is always value.
How valuable you are, how much benefit you can reap.

Leo resigned from JD.com and joined Baidu at the age of 25.
At that time, competition in the company was fierce, and he was therefore impetuous.
Yesterday I was learning big data, and today I am thinking about cloud computing, I am busy every day, but there is no obvious result.
If this continues, there is no guarantee that it will not be eliminated.
Until the architect said to him:
“If you spend five years studying databases, can you become an expert in this field?
You are only 25 years old now, and you will be 30 years old in five years.
Many people in the company have accomplished nothing at the age of 30 and are worried about being eliminated. But you are already an expert in this field at that time. “
After hearing these words, Leo suddenly understood:
If you learn everything, you will learn nothing. There is no point in making yourself mediocre.
Only by spending all your time, focusing on one corner, and becoming an expert in a certain field can you establish your own threshold.
From then on, while others worked overtime crazily and got involved, Leo only did his part.
He spends all his time outside of work studying databases.
A year later, while his original colleague was still standing still, he restructured the data layer in the company and reduced the system load by 40%.
Three years later, he was able to easily handle performance optimization that others could not accomplish, and successfully grew into the backbone of Baidu’s internal database, with his salary and year-end bonus increasing every year.
Later, he resigned and returned to his hometown in Xi’an. At Huawei, which no one else could squeeze into, he easily got an offer and his treatment was even better than before.
Buffett proposed the concept of “moat” :
An enterprise needs to establish a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate in order to continuously make profits. It’s like a moat outside a castle. The deeper the moat, the harder it is for the enemy to defeat you.
In fact, people are the same.
The deeper your moat is and the higher your professional barriers are, the harder it will be for others to compete with you, and you will make money that others cannot.
One fresh trick, eaten all over the world.
When you develop a skill that no one else can surpass, making money will come naturally.

Once a person becomes enlightened, life will be like having an enlightened mind and it will be easier to achieve success.
It’s like suddenly opening up the two channels of Ren and Du, clearing levels fighting monsters all the way, and becoming the best among the crowd.
As an ordinary person, how to open up the Ren and Du channels?
Simply put, there are three points:
1. Experience many things and meet many people
There is a saying that goes well: “No words in this world can make you enlightened. What can really make you enlightened can only be an experience. And that sentence is just a match lit in the gunpowder warehouse.”
The same goes for people who want to gain enlightenment.
Learn more, watch more, and communicate more with experts.
In the process of meeting people, encountering problems, and acquiring knowledge, there may be a certain point or sentence that can wake you up.
Just like Leo, after listening to the words of his predecessor , he decided to attack it and become an expert in the database field;
His blood boiled and he was determined to start a great company.
All wisdom is realized in the dust.
Only by seeing more of the world and more people can we have more inspiration to make money and have more opportunities to make money.
2. Thinking about “changing dimensions”
If a person wants to gain enlightenment, he cannot do without “thinking in another dimension”.
Everyone faces various problems and troubles. Facing a problem, changing the dimension and angle may produce unexpected results.
The same goes for making money.
Some people open a restaurant near a national highway. No matter how rich the dishes they serve, few cars stop to visit.
But when he built a toilet next to the hotel, more and more drivers passing by stopped, and the restaurant became more and more popular.
Learn to think in different dimensions, break away from the original framework, and analyze problems in an all-round and multi-angle manner, and it will be much easier to find out the secrets.
3. Continuous review
The gap between people does not come from age, or even from experience, but from the ability to summarize, reflect, and sublimate experience.
A person’s enlightenment is inseparable from his review of life and his understanding of life.
Starting today, review your own experiences in time, clarify your thoughts, and discover the underlying laws.
Only with continuous reflection and summary of life can we not deviate from the road of making money.
“Once a person is enlightened, making money is as easy as drinking water. But all epiphanies seem to be instantaneous, but they are the result of the accumulation of quantitative changes.”
Experience more, think more, review more.
If you continue to do things that have growth and threshold and continue to improve yourself, you will not be far away from wealth.
