The Penny Priciple

You may think you have stumbled upon some weird new age philosophy. I assure you this is not the case. It is simply the idle observation of a person struggling to make money.

Have you ever noticed the lonely penny tossed carelessly aside? The value is considered so minute as to lead people to simply throwing money away. So insignificant is the penny that no one considers that it could actually lead them to wealth!

I began to ponder the penny and it's contribution after my son diligently gathered the discarded pennies from all around our house. It was not long until he had actually saved some money. Altogether I think it was around twenty dollars, not a lot you might think. However when you consider all he did for this money was gather a little hear and there you can say he in effect found twenty dollars! For some people that is a few hours of work.

So I began to look at this tiny representation of money in a different light. Sometimes we can find our wealth in the same way. A little here and a little there. Do not shoot for the million dollar win, look instead for all the "free" money to be had, like the penny.

I currently do two jobs that I really like, I write online and I work merchandising a few hours every week. I also do a few affiliate programs and of course adsense. These are all my "pennies". Each one by itself would not pay me much, but together they are leading me to larger and larger paydays. Just last week I earned nearly $400.00. I worked outside my home for less than 20 hours in a week, the rest was what I earned online from a couple of sources! Not bad I think I will follow my pennies and see where they take me.
