Make Money
It does not matter which part of the world you live in. It seems everyone is looking for a way to make money and I find that living in Malaysia gives new meaning to the phrase make money. Malaysia like many of its Asian counterparts has its own share of beggars and fly by night characters selling counterfeit goods or smuggled cigarettes, but some have discovered novel ways in which to make money.
For example, one extreme and dangerous practice is stealing copper wire from electricity cables and a number of people have been killed whilst removing wire from electricity substations.
Part of the reason for those types of extreme cases, the average wage for workers is very low especially when companies employ Indonesian and Filipino workers, however these are the ones who generally find additional ways to make money. An example being bar staff, who will go out and buy items such as peanuts and lighters from the local market and then sell them at a profit in their workplace. It is unfortunate, because in the G8 countries, typically that is not something you would find in countries like Canada or the United States.
I have watched people break up concrete pipes in order to recover and sell the metal reinforcing. Like, I mentioned already, living in parts of the world like Malaysia is not always easy. Other local people will capture small fish from reefs to sell to make money from who have home aquariums.
Many streets and markets have people with sewing machines always ready to repair and alter clothes. Shoe repairers are always ready to put on new soles or repair sandals and sports shoes with a spot of sewing. Life can be especially hard in developing countries, but its a positive step that people are wanting to be their own boss.
Ad hoc restaurants /food stores abound with housewives setting up simple stalls outside their houses to sell home made food or products from their garden in order to make money. It may not be a 4 star restaurant, but the food can be very good.
Malaysia has a bad reputation in some counties for bribery and corruption which can even involve the police, but this still tends to be the way business is conducted as even officials are looking for additional ways to make money.
The stock market used to be a place to make money and many naive people over borrowed in the past when the market was rising and ended up in debt. Yes, there are many problems in developing countries like Malaysia, but people want financial freedom, just like people in Canada and the United States. Owning your own business, no matter where you live is something people from around the globe want to do.
If we all strive for honest, ethical business practices, the internet
will become a safe place to conduct our business. Take a look at this
new
type of business model that strives to achieve these ethical business
practices for a
-at-home-business/">legitimate work at home business. Some months
ago I became part of this business. If you are ready to roll up your
sleeves and work with a team committed to pool their talents to build a
“real” business with “real” business people and would like to find out
more about the
business-opportunity/">best home business opportunity on the
Internet, in a way that you probably have never heard of before, then I
suggest you go to the link at the end of this paragraph. The business
is based on the acquisition of customers, not on recruiting
distributors, as you would be aware, customers are the mainstay of any
business and a business cannot survive for very long without customers.
Most
of us have struggled to find something that works and we have all
probably come across opportunities that show promise only to be
disappointed after a short period of time. There is nothing else out
there like this business, not that I have seen anyway.
