Personally, what I want is a collection of wrist watches. Imagine an expensive array of wrist watches; theres one for every occasion, for every wardrobe, for every activity and for every da. That is what I long for, that is my dream.

But in order for this dream to be a reality, one thing is needed: money.

Now, money wont just walk into your life while you sit down your couch watching television. Money needs to be earned, it needs to be reaped. Yes, this means that you need to get off your ass once in a while, and maybe work a little. But acquiring money is not necessarily a hard thing.

The trick in making money easily is that you should know the trick in making money. It may sound confusing, but its pretty simple and rational when you think about it.

We need to be smart, and Im not talking about bookish, nerdy type of smart. We should be smart enough to know how to make use of the resources around us.

See what Im getting at? No?

Heres the thing, we arent innovators. We arent inventors. A lot of things were already invented and discovered by the other billions of people in the world, trying to find a unique thing to utilize in order to make money is near impossible.

So what do we do then? Simple: we make use of what is presently available. We take the things we can use around us for our gain.

That is the one secret of making money easily.

It sounds terrible and evil, but its not really a problem if the owner of the resource that you are using also gains from your plan. You get money, he gets money, were all happy.

Hey, if its already there in front of you, waiting to be used, sitting idly by, then why not? If you can find a way to better utilize that, then by all means. Everyone needs money, and Im sure the owner of the resource will be more than happy to give you what he has for an exchange.

Another word for this secret is leveraging.

In the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, Captain Jack Sparrow called Will Turner leverage. This is a perfect example of what Im trying to say. See, Jack Sparrow needed to get the Black Peal back from Barbossa, but he doesnt have the means to do that. Incidentally, Will Turners love interest got kidnapped by Barbossa, so Will needs to get her back. It just so happens that Barbossa needs Will Turner to save him from the curse and Jack Sparrow knew this.

So what does Jack Sparrow do? He gets Will Turner to go with him to Barbossas hideout to save Wills love interest. Because of that move, Jack now has something Barbossa wants, making it possible for him to strike a deal in order to get his ship back.

At the end of the day, Will rescues his love interest and Jack gets the Black Pearl.

See? Leverage.

Be smart and make use of the resources around you. Stop trying to be innovative when you can be practical. Look around you and observe. Try to figure out the best resource to take.

Even though this is the secret of making money easily, it doesnt necessarily mean that you will make money just as fast as you spend it. But this will surely give you more money to spend in the future.

Big companies use leveraging in order to get bigger and bigger.

A solid example of the success of leveraging is franchising. Franchising a business you own, selling rights and whatnot will make your income increase exponentially.

Companies such as Toyota, Nokia and Intel make use of their staff and workers as leverage.

The internet may be also used as leverage, because with it, you can reach out further and promote your product better.

Leveraging is needed, because without it, we might just as well waste more time sitting down on the couch watching television. At least thats more entertaining than trying in vain to come up with something brilliant.
