One of the most prevalent misconceptions concerning money, relates to its importance. For example, how many times have you heard people say in conversation, “Money isn’t everything.” or “Money isn’t important.” or “I don’t care about money.” Well, the people who say these things might not care about money, but I’ll bet their car dealer cares about it; their grocer does; and so does the person who holds their mortgage. 

In truth, there can be no denial of the fact that money is important to any person living in a civilized society. Therefore, to argue that it is not as important as this or that, is absurd. For nothing can take the place of money in the arena in which it is used!

Now that I have affirmed the importance of money, let me backtrack to add this one word of caution— always remember, money is a servant; you are the master. Be very careful not to reverse that equation, because many people of high intelligence have already done so, to their great detriment.

Unfortunately, many of these poor souls loved money and used people, which violated one of the most basic laws governing true financial success. You should always love people and use money, rather than the reverse! 

Another myth many people like to accept about money is that it only comes as a result of “luck” or “good fortune.” For instance, whenever people gather to talk about someone they know who has been financially successful, there is always someone among them who will say, “Harry was just lucky,” or “Harry was just in the right place at the right time.” 

But I want to assure you in no uncertain terms, that although “luck” obviously plays some part in financial success, it is never sufficient in and of itself.

Money is an effect and it must always be earned. Believe me, there are no free rides in this life and the only people who are making money the easy way either work in the mint or are on their way to jail, if they have not already arrived there.

Therefore, always bear in mind that while “good fortune” is a factor in financial success, it must always be coupled with effort and hard work!
