I grew up near two lakes. One across the street for my dad’s house and the other down the street from my mom’s. I learned about throwing stones early in life. The most powerful lesson I learned was the ripples that they created. Now that I’m older I still throw stones it just might mean more.
As a kid I use to throw the pebbles first. One at a time. They make a small splash and kind of leave a ripple but you can barely see that. Then I’d get some bigger stones. I would never throw them as far because I wanted that big splash near by or maybe I wasn’t strong enough to throw them very far. Then you would get more waves than ripples. After a while I would get a bit board and take a handful of all shapes and sizes and just throw them all. This would leave splashes everyway and ripples all over the place. I did, however, notice that as these ripples collided they would either cancel each other out or make bigger waves.
Then I learned to skip stones. It was amazing. You’d get a bit of a splash but even more ripples and the stone would just keep going. It would go so fast that you couldn’t count the skips. You’d be left counting the ripples each skip left behind. 1,2,3,4,5….
Today, I bet you are throwing a lot of stones. Your stones are money. You throw them into the lake of financial products and services out there. Some are going to leave a little splash. Some are going to be big enough to get you wet. They are all going to leave ripples. The money you spend leaves a different size ripple than the money you save. How do those ripples interact? Are you making waves?
Nobody wants to be left soaking wet, out of stones with no ripples in the water. What do you want out of your money stones? You want to learn to skip the stones. You want to get multiple uses out of one stone. Multiple splashes. Multiple ripples. Did you know that was possible?
There are very few poeple out there that can teach you to skip a money stone. Hopefully this blog will get you started, teach you a few techniques. You’ll have questions, so ask (evolutionofwealth@rocketmail.com). Do you want to learn?
