Lazy People Work too Hard!


Lazy People Work too hard!


“There are many lazy people who work hard. They continue to work hard because it is easier to keep working hard than to change.” – Rich Dad

Do you really care about your money? This is a question that will always be answered by many people with a “YES”. Just as parents care for their children, investors care about their money. To an investor every dollar in his/her wallets is viewed as an employee that works to reduce his/her physical labor. Most people place a blindfold over their eyes and hand their money over to a total stranger who works for a big corporation who has no idea what is the CEO telephone extension to the company he/she selects for you to invest in. That is why so few people do well as investors. They often let their money get abused, mistreated, and poorly paid. Educate yourself, so that you can treat your employees well, with respect, find them great places to work, protect them, make sure they are paid well, and always remember that our job is to hire money workers and make sure we do not have downsizing.

“Give your money to strangers and your money will work for the strangers – before your money will work for you.” – Rich Dad

In reality no CEO will hire a lot of people to help their competitor generate more money and then make no attempt to make any money until they go out of business. Yes, it is true that a financial advisor is your arch enemy if he/she asks you to park your money with their organization and you remain ignorant of financial literacy. Since when did our school system change? We don’t drop our children off at school for them to just stand outside and allow their classmates to learn while they stand in the window for 10 minutes and then go play. Lazy people use little tricks to make it look like they're actually accomplishing things. They love sitting on their success until it turns to mold. It is unfortunate that they allow there entire family to fall under the own disillusion. His/her path to success will always be capped. You need motivation and ambition to be part of the elite, and that is the greatness of our capitalist society; the cream rises to the top. In the end, determined and self-motivated people (not always, most of the time) get ahead of pretenders. It's the go-getters that make up 1% of the population and control the other 99%.

Sensitive pockets will leave you broke in the long run!


Sensitive pockets will leave you broke in the long run!

The faster your money moves, the higher your income and your returns will be. Financial Advisors are like street lights, you can find one every 15 feet. In an age where more and more people are becoming financially stupid and paying for their financial advisor to get an education on labor income (Hard working Middle Class Americans), One must stop and ask themselves? Is investing for the long run the only advise available today since my financial advisor does not have any of their own money tied up in this investment. If they did would they tell me to hold on to something we are both losing thousands of dollars in?

When driving a car, one would expect a vehicle to have a gas pedal, brakes, and a steering wheel to give the driver control. When investing in paper assets (remember you are buying a business not just the paper the name is printed on), the investor often gives up control over the investment and often turns control over to a complete stranger they hope knows more then themselves about investing. Yet more often than not they realize they gave their money to a bigger dummy than they are. I guess pointing a finger is better than accepting responsiblity for being a big idiot!
