Making Money

A country is not wealthy – only individuals are.

In some countries individuals can create and accumulate wealth easier and quicker than in other countries. These days it is also possible to earn money in other faster growing countries even though you do not live there. This book is about identifying and capitalising on opportunities to increase you net worth exponentially.

How does one create wealth? – Simply by producing goods and services that others value. There are however a few concepts that will help you accelerate the process, a few skills that if you use them you will greatly improve your ability to earn more.

Wealth creation is function of the relationship between income (I), expenditure (E) and savings (S) multiplied by the time (T) over which you have managed the relationship. This is compounded by the rate of return of your savings. All the books that one reads gives the advice that one should start with ones plan as early as possible…But if you are turning 62 in December 2011 and have not followed their advice, what do you do.

This book is a record of how it is done. As the Chinese adage goes “ The best time to have planted a tree is 40 years ago, the second best time is now”

I stood up and planted a tree.

In doing this I realised “Planting a tree is a project.” One cannot just plant a tree – there are a number of actions that need to be taken in a certain order to execute the project successfully – like “obtaining the tree”, “selecting a location”, “digging the hole” “preparing the hole – water and fertilizer” and so on.

Making money is also a project. One needs to also take a number of actions to complete the project successfully.

Rock Hard Hire (RHH)

Rock Hard Hire (RHH) started in 1997 as a small business at the owners' home, with only three compactors, a concrete mixer and a lot of spares, seeing that the machines were all second hand. Three years later it became clear that the business should move to a premise. Many people thought that this little business wouldn't last three months, but was surprised by not only the survival of the company, but also the growth. Five years later, the company expanded by adding a wide variety of tools, and of course, the only legal locksmith in the TEKS area, with the widest range of keys available.
Last year, the so-called transponder keys, that could not be cut, were also included in our range, because of the TRS-5000 that was added to our already wide range of key cutting machines.

Making money with Google Ads.

Not ready to give up my day job.



It took me about three years to get this!

I am now (February 2016) sitting on R 44 000!). Not too shabby for not too much effort.
