I'm looking for inspiration for some creative thinking regarding money.
I'm self employed and I also do ebay and amazon but I know that I can stretch myself to do a bit more but I come to a mental block, creativitywise.
I have read a few books that suggest the way to start money flowing toward you rather than away is to become more generous, the idea being a mixture of 'what goes around comes around' and karma, 'you get back what you give out' and the idea of being generous gives you a positive feeling that gees you up and helps you function better.
I've taken all this on board and I do feel better, I've given to charity shops, it was mainly things that I'd been trying to sell and not getting the prices I wanted and it is really liberating to know that they can make some money out of them and they aren't cluttering up my head any more, so that has helped me be a bit more positive.
The question is is there anything else I can do to get me thinking more creatively, working harder and earning more money? are there any more books, CDs, or techniques that anyone can recommend?
