How to Turn Ideas IntoMoney Part 1

Ideas are Capital

How can you turn an intangible idea to tangible wealth?How can you move an idea from the invisible realm tothe physical? If you can understand this process, nothing shall be impossible to you.

People often tell me they have ideas but no capital.However every idea is capital in its right. If you have agood idea, you already have capital because every goodidea comes packaged with the means to turn it into atangible form. In my nancial misery some I prayed,God, since you can do all things, please give me money.I beg, give me money. After praying the foolish prayersfor several weeks, He spoke to my heart, Son, do notpray for money. Pray for ideas. Ideas are more powerfulthan money. One good idea can feed your family for alifetime. So I stopped praying for money and startedpraying for ideas.

Become Rich through IdeasIf you read the biographies of the wealthiest men andwomen in history and in our time, they all became richthrough an idea. Their money followed their idea, notthe other way around. The founders of Google arebillionaires and Google was just an idea that kept getting better. Bill Gates is the richest man in the world becausehe had an idea. He dreamt about putting personalcomputer in every home. Today, billions of people useMicrosoft products and every time we type a sentence inMicrosoft Word, Bill Gates makes a million dollars. Stopbegging for money! Start hunting for powerful ideas

Everything Starts as an IdeaEvery thing around you started as an invisibleidea in someones mind. The chair you sit on, thebuilding you live in, the television you watch wereintangible ideas that became physical.How did that chair go from the carpenters mindto your sitting room? How did the house go fromthe mind of the architect to its location? It is thesame process you can use to convert your ideas to

physical money.

The Invisible WaterLet me give one more illustration. The water youdrink and bathe with is a product of two invisibleelements called hydrogen and oxygen. Youcannot see oxygen and hydrogen atoms. On theirown they remain gases but when they cometogether in a certain way, they become physicalwater that you can see, feel, touch and drink. If

your invisible ideas are like oxygen and hydrogen,what can you do to manifest it into physicalwealth? Let us consider the seven steps formanifesting your intangible ideas.
