I am only going to address legal ways to make money. I will not discuss either private or public organized crime. The private sector could involve jail time which is not attractive. In the public sector, we have too many people going to Congress as paupers and leaving as millionaires.
There are
five ways a business makes money.
1. With a special skill or talent.
If you are a medical doctor or surgeon,
people come to you. Some other special
skills might be; veterinarians, land surveyors, lobbyists, and in some cases
lawyers. Congratulations if you fall
into any of these groups.
2. Having money to invest.
Many of us have money invested in a
savings account, stocks, bonds, or a 401K, but it does not generate enough
income to live.
If you have enough money, you can invest
it wisely in a business and make money.
You may or may not want to be personally involved in the business. Both options are available
3. With employees.
If you have enough employees working for
you and those employees are efficient in their jobs, you should make money from
each employee’s efforts.
Employees may be skilled or unskilled,
but in either case you must be able to manage those employees. Employees are human and do not always do what
they should. Some people cannot manage
employees even with a good system.
4. Selling.
If you don’t have a lot of money and or
employees, you have to be able to sell.
A good sales system can help, but not everyone can sell.
I have had clients say, “I can sell if
it is something I believe in.” This is a
false premise. Handling rejection is a
big part of sales, and when you believe strongly in your product or service,
the rejection is even more devastating.
In reality, most businesses involve some
combination of 2, 3, & 4. Number 1
could still require the other 3.
Every business has to be marketed. A good web site or newspaper ad will not do it. I have seen people spend their money on a
great web site without a complete marketing plan to drive potential customers
to the site.

This is a duplicate of a posted comment the August 16 blog titled Democrat Party Gestapo. Would not want the blogger to miss it. Here’s a quote from the that blog:
