WEALTH BUILDING TIPS AND TRENDS

Do you love the idea of making big money in Real Estate ? Do you think anyone can build their fortune with Real Estate ? If you answered yes, then you had better read on ! Mistake #1 I have been to many Real Estate presentations from various promoters who claim anyone can make a fortune with Real Estate. They play on your emotions and get you excited about entering the big leagues and making the big dollars. Is it realistic to expect everyone that attends one of these presentations will become a real estate tycoon ? Not likely ! When it comes to any type of investing, keep your emotions at home. Investing in anything based on emotion can be a disaster, especially when it comes to Real Estate. If you find yourself really excited about an investment opportunity, put it down and walk away. Distance yourself from the excitement and take as much time as you need to calm down and get your head together. Investing is a business, not a marriage. Do not get excited, fall in love, or

Do you think lazy people deserve to become wealthy ? Do you think you must work hard all day every day to deserve wealth ? Truth is many of the wealthy make money by being lazy ! Pants On Fire Attitude If you are like me, you were brought up with the attitude that you must work hard every day to get ahead in life. You must work hard at school, get good marks, get a good job, etc. etc. This attitude persists today in what I call the Pants On Fire Attitude. You get a good paying job, or maybe two or three perhaps. You make lots of money, but you spend a lot of your time doing it. In fact many spend so much time making money, they leave little or no time for the important things in life. They leave no time for living. Why Lazy Is Considered Bad Our society has developed an attitude that being lazy is very bad for your health and your wealth. They mistakenly associate being lazy with having no ambition. Lazy people are always depressed or lack the drive to make something of

Do you think the wealthy look around to see what the world is doing around them ? Do you think they listen to what others have to say ?  Lastly, do you think they learn something from doing both of the above ? You better believe they do! Look You have probably noticed that I haven't written on this blog for the past several months. This was done on purpose because I wanted to have a look at what was going on around the world as well as much closer to home. What I noticed was that people kept reading my blog even though I wasn't posting any new material. Why do you think this was ? Well, my guess would be, because there is a lot of good information contained within these pages that needs to be shared. I looked around the world for opportunities and I looked within these pages for insight. Change is constant and we must occasionally stop and just have a look. Listen    Listening to what others have to say is also very important. By listening to others you start re

Do you truly believe that some day you will become wealthy ? Do you think anything can get done unless you truly believe  ? Truth is, your beliefs may some day become reality if you truly believe ! Why Believe Believing in yourself is the very first step to accomplishing whatever you want in life. If you do not believe that you will succeed at something, it is very likely you will never succeed. An old saying by Napolian Hill, the author of one of my favorite older books " Think and Grow Rich "  was " What The Mind Can Conceive and Believe it Can Achieve " If you believe you will live an average life and jut survive, guess what ? That is exactly the way you will live and you will likely achieve exactly what you truly believe. First Step I don't care how many financial planning and strategy books you read. I don't care how much financial knowledge you can learn. If you don't first truly believe that you will succeed, the rest of what you

Have you ever heard of a time share real estate investment ? Do you think the wealthy invest in time shares ? Truth is the wealthy stay as far away as possible from time share promoters ! What Is A Time Share Time share real estate investments are products that are sold to unwary individuals that want to vacation in style. Quite often these scams are promoted to vacationers and involve some pretty high pressure sales tactics.I have seen them try to sell these for as high as $25,000.00 .Beware ! Basically, when you purchase a time share, you buy a 1 week per year use of a condo unit. Along with this you are required to pay an annual maintenance fee which can be very high. Once you buy one of these, it will be virtually impossible to sell to someone else. This is because there are so many time share resales on the market and some for as little as $99.00 . There is absolutely no real value to most time share units. Listen But Never Sign It can actually be a very interest

Do you think your family would survive if you ate a child ? Do you think anyone would ever consider the thought ? An outrageous thought but many do eat their children in a way ! Defining Your Child Ok, now that I hopefully got your attention, let me explain what I define as a child. From a financial point of view a child is a component of your life's savings. Whew, I bet you're all relieved now except for the few cannibals in the crowd. Actually, I don't think even cannibals would eat their children. Who would be left to carry on their cannibalism ? All kidding aside, eating your financial children could kill your future family. At least it would kill your ability to have a comfortable retirement and possibly leave something to your biological children to help them in their future lives. The Really Wealthy Many of the really wealthy are really wealthy because they do not eat their children. Instead, they protect their children from all of life's dang
