Are You Doing
Business With Monopoly Money?
©2005 by Kalinda Rose Stevenson
During the depths of the Great Depression,
the Monopoly® game appeared in the marketplace. For many
American children, Monopoly is the first introduction to
using money for business decisions. Monopoly teaches players
to buy and sell property, collect and pay rents. The game is
fun, especially for the winners. My question is, Are the
lessons you learned playing Monopoly killing your capacity
to make real money in your business?
Monopoly teaches at least three money myths that can keep
you struggling with money in your business.
Monopoly Money Myth One is that the amount of money
available is limited. The game begins with a fixed amount of
money. The game ends with the same amount of money. The only
difference between the beginning and the end of the game is
that the money, which was evenly distributed at the
beginning of the game, is now concentrated in the hands of
the winner. The critical point is that no one MAKES money in
Monopoly. Monopoly is a zero sum game
Compare the zero sum Monopoly game to what
happens to money in business. In business, you create a
product or offer a service that actually MAKES more money.
This is how it works. You create a product. The product
costs you money to produce, market, and sell. If you sell
the product for more than your costs, you make a profit.
This profit is money that did not exist when you started the
game.

In other words, you actually create
money. You have not only added money to your bottom
line, you have added more money to the money supply.
This is the critical money difference between Monopoly
and business. Profitable businesses make money. No one
makes money in Monopoly.
Monopoly Myth One teaches players that money is a
commodity in limited supply. Monopoly cannot teach the
fundamental truth that the amount of available money is
potentially unlimited because money is created in
transactions. The more transactions occur, the more
money is created.
Monopoly Money Myth Two teaches that the
game can have only one money winner. (The game is called
Monopoly for a reason.)
As a model for doing business, Monopoly teaches that
making profits in business means taking money away from
other businesses, to end up with the biggest piece of
the existing money supply. This business model is still
very much with us when we see businesses act like sharks
at a feeding frenzy. In fact, some businesses do win by
following the Monopoly money model.

When business owners understand the real truth that the
supply of available money is potentially unlimited because
money is created in transactions, it takes away the need to
be sharks fighting over a fixed amount of money. Instead,
enlightened business owners can create mutually beneficial
joint venture relationships with other businesses. Joint
ventures allow each business to increase profits and
increase the amount of money available.
The liberating money truth is that you can make more
money by cooperation with other businesses than you will by
attempting to take money out of the pockets of your
competitors.
Monopoly Money Myth Three is that making money means hurting
other people. In Monopoly, the only way to get more money is
to take it from other people, leaving them with less money
than they had when they started. The game is over for them
when they run out of money.
Making money at the expense of others is obviously not a
problem for Enron-type businesses that care only about
making profits without regard for how much they hurt other
people. Monopoly originated in the Depression, when vast
numbers of people endured real poverty while a minority of
fat cats lived in luxury. The Monopoly game reflects the
realities of that economic era.

In my own coaching experience, I have encountered many
people who believe deep down that making money means hurting
other people. And since they consider themselves good,
honest people, they are deeply conflicted about doing
business. They want to make more money but they don’t want
to hurt other people in the process.
If you are struggling with money in your business, ask
yourself if these three Monopoly Money Myths lie at the root
of your problems. As a game, Monopoly can be fun. As a model
for doing business, Monopoly Money Myths will keep you stuck
in a Depression-era mindset of haves and have-nots because
it teaches that money is a commodity in limited supply.
You can play a much more liberating money game in business
than Monopoly can ever teach you. What happens to business
when you stop playing with Monopoly money? You will discover
that money is unlimited because money is created by
transactions, cooperation is more profitable than cutthroat
competition, and you can make money while serving the best
interests of other people. Best of all, you are much more
likely to win the money game.
