In the current economy, what do you think is more crucial for getting ahead? Is it having cash to launch your idea or career, or is it all about being clever and resourceful? With social media playing a huge role nowadays, the possibilities are honestly endless.
Sure, there are still some things that need money, but it's way less than it used to be. A bunch of jobs are popping up online, and tons of people can connect with you and offer help if they vibe with your work. So for me, even though having cash sure makes things smoother, being resourceful can definitely lead to greater wealth. Do you agree?
Cash or Creativity?

If you are starting off with money, let's say inherited funds, and then you have the discipline, skills, creativity, resourcefulness, etc, there is a high chance you'd do much better that someone who has all of these skills but has zero $ in their account.
That said, the two of them are very important, but if we hypothetically say they are mutually exclusive, then it is better to have all these skills, because with it you can create wealth, but if you have money, but no discipline and all that is needed to keep and grow it, you'd lose it all sooner rather than later; that is why some people go broke soon after winning the lottery or a life changing money while gambling.

It depends on your situation, I started earning online without any money and I favoured me, its pure procrastination if you have to wait for money to come first before you start anything.
Even if what you want to learn needs money to function it won't hurt to keep learning same thing every day, like someone used to tell me, if you keep reading what you have read many times before you will get clearer understanding.
Here is my final answer, you need both money and the skill but if you don't have money it is not the end, you can still find your way around making money in various ways, I survived on airdrops alone in the past years.
I will prefer money over resourcesfulness, creativity because money will make me richer than any other resources in the world. With money you can create as many companies you want to employee thousands of people in the companies to be generating income that will make you richer, and when you have money you can create jobs that will make the economy to grow locally and globally, yes anything is possible in this life when you believe it's possible, before start pursuing the career or creativity because you have developed positive mindset towards your dream and it will definitely going to help in the future.

maybe skill is what u need more than both?
if u have money u can apply the skill ur good at better by starting a business based on it
but even if u don't have money u can find more jobs easily i.e. if ur good at what u do.
I partially agree because your emphasis is on resourcesfulness alone, but the truth is that, even as resourceful as a person can become, money is needed to execute and establish or built ideas into reality, I don't want to depend on people's help, I don't want to go online begging to attention and support on what I do or plan to do, I want to be resourceful myself, have the money and built my ideas into reality, when I can advertise to the world through physical and online ads what I've built and I believe by then, patronage and even gaining partnerships will be easier.
Big men, and I mean men with money looking for where to invest it don't invest on whitepapers, it's only in crypto that people invest in whitepapers alone, out there, prospective investors want to see what you want to build and how far you have gone with it, your ratings and ability to gain partnerships will depend on how far you've built your idea on your own and to do this, money is needed, being resourceful can also mean having money to run whatever project you want to run.
Money.
People who votes resourcefulness haven't experienced to live in poor condition, where you can only eat junk food or not healthy food and you're forced to work during primary or middle school in order to help your family to survive.
You lack of nutrition when you're young and you can't focus on school because you need to work.
If you have money in the first place, you don't have to use your time just to make you survive and you can completely focus on your career.
With money, your creativity will easily become profitable. There are very talented people who don't have the financial resources to promote their skills to make it prosperous. Creative content needs money to promote it so that many viewers or subscribers can be attracted.
If a talented social media business person doesn't have money to boost his activities, he would have to work hard and be patient until his business grows gradually to become profitable. Some of the content that is doing well on the internet is not the best, but they are highly promoted.

Money and resourcefulness are two important requirements to create wealth and be rich, a person needs both because ideas alone cannot make you rich, you need to invest your time and money at some stage. If I must put one over the other I will choose resourcefulness over money because if you have money without being resourceful you might misuse the money but your resourcefulness stays with you even without money. When you are resourceful without firstly putting money forward, after establishing your resources maybe through your skills, ideas or work experience, money can then come in to execute your goals. Your resourcefulness is a means to an end which is your goal, money comes along when it's needed to execute projects.
Of course reason includes everything, career, economy, business and so on, we all understand money does not go according to plan if our reason cannot manage the money, Many rich people inherited their money run out without any directed, they will waste.
But unlike those who have long reason, they know what money is used for and vice versa they don't have money but they have expertise and reason Of course they will develop efforts to produce a better economy and become rich, that is the difference in reason and money.
Many great companies and platforms are born out of creativity and funded with the resourcefulness of the individuals or team. Creativity is everything when you set up a business, the life of the business depends on its creativity and the market they are fulfilling.
Money that will fund the platform born on creativity can be funded through bank loans and creating a corporation and selling shares.
So if you want to be rich be creative on what kind of business you are going to launch and if the idea and creativity is great, investors will fund it, so money will come to this idea and creativity.
Its always needed money in any type of business if you want to succeed. You are being resourceful because your dont money to accomplish things but sooner or later once your career is already improving you will use your money to kickstart your career and just combine it to being resourceful.
But having an initial money to kickstart your career or business is an advantage since you can already skip to the part that you will need to resourceful and just focus on your career.
Anyone who's had both, or have had one and the other at different times, knows it's money that's the one you need more. Arguably, with enough money, you wouldn't need resourcefulness -- just pay for the services of those who do, I suppose. Too many rich people prove this over and over.
Call me a downer but hard work and diligence can pay off eventually, but you'd still need a bit more in the bank to wait it out. For every guy who tells you he made it from scratch, are several hundred who're still trying to make it from scratch. *cough cough shitcoins
Now luck (right place right time with a bit of either money or resource) is a different thing. And support from people around you. I know a lot of successful people will deny this, but a few admit it.
Money is first important thing in life and everyone is trying to use their resource to earn more money in life . When there was no internet there were less jobs in the World but after the discovery of Internet we saw new jobs in the market and millions of jobs are created to deal the internet and use of internet because banks are using Internet and Workers are needed to handle to the computer which is running by internet and there and many website which are providing many services and any person can sell his skill at good price and person can negotiate.Resourcefulness is best for the country and overall World because all people want to be successful in life and they need job if they are from poor family or middle class family.

Very interesting topic with no doubt due to recent development and internet bring many changes around us but if someone still want to have success and good life money is more important if you have no money then surely results are not going to achieve easily.
Even here I also want to mention due to technology development and internet now many things changed but still for having better results and success, money is always important. Without money your progress is going to be slow, and you are not able to have results on time. For anything if anyone want to go first he needed good skills then money this will make perfect combination without both no success or having just one thing is also not giving good success this can take too much time which is always not favourable.
Money alone without the sense of being creative and resourceful will only go into waste. One should learn how to maximize any opportunity that will make your money grow, by developing your own talent or skills that will attract bigger earning opportunities.
Although money is a crucial factor for our daily survival, and its the ultimate goal why everyone is working hard and enduring hardship and sacrifices, but whats the worth of money if you dont even know how to grow or create another opportunity to make more money.

Resourcefulness comes in handy more when there is money to fund the idea and creativity behind it. Money is actually the bigger drive here and without it everything becomes very hard to achieve with all the best skills put together. The internet has really become a place where opportunity thrives and you get to showcase what you have or to sell to earn more patronage, but it is not as easy as we put it.
Despite the internet giving that avenue, youll get to a stage where funding can only push you through further to achieve that riches unless luck finds you. Money is important and without money, your skills and idea will take time to be actualised. And when you have money only without the skills, it is better you put it into someone thats skilled and resourceful rather than wanting to use that as an edge to get richer. Money without proper plan can easily be depleted.

It depends, when you say money to kick start do you mean that it will then exclude creativity and resourcefulness? And if I take creativity and resourcefulness would that mean I won't have the money to kick start?
For some reason people always feel that you will be the enemy of you choose money, a footballer who has the chance to go to a club for money would be seen as a fake person.
In this case even the most creative entrepreneur would be nothing without money that's why many of them seek investors. But we huge sum of money you can be able to buy other people's creativity. Elon musk is a determined person but many of his creation he got people paid to create them.
It really depends what sort of money you're starting with at the beginning, if someone gave me a million dollars tomorrow I could probably invest it wisely enough to give me a pretty safe 5% return per year which is enough to live on in most of the US. Resourcefulness is great but even the most resourceful can struggle in a cutthroat or high population environment controlled by a class system. It is a lot easier to make money when you have money basically, but you need to have that prior knowledge or put a lot of effort into learning more. You don't need to create you own business necessarily, there are so many good businesses out there already and you can just buy a sliver of them by buying shares.
Sometimes giving money to people to start up what they intend don't really encourage them to do better and step up, so then I'll like to say it's preferably good to go on with what's best for one. It cound be money or resourcefulness pending how profitable and results oriented it can be. likes of me give me the resource and creative mind and I'll sure make the money from it.
