Revealed! Why Paper Assets Might Not Be Your Best Bet For Building Wealth.

Revealed! Why Paper Assets Might Not Be Your Best Bet For Building Wealth.

The financial plan sold to most of us by our parents and the authority figures in our lives involves going to school, getting a good job, saving 10% of our paychecks, and ultimately investing our savings in the stock market. Then one day, say 45 years from now, we would retire rich. Unfortunately, as laudable as this plan may seem, its ability to deliver the expected wealth and financial freedom is very pitiable and unreliable. First, it’s important to note that paper assets (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other traditional investments) are not great wealth-building vehicles. This is because of the mathematical limitations to their growth. Consequently, paper assets are better used as a parking place to preserve and grow the purchasing power of wealth that has been made through real estate and business ownership. To fully understand the power and the importance of this insight that I’m sharing with you, pick up your phone and call a stock broker or financial planner and tell him or her of your desire to achieve financial freedom, and that you need their help to achieve this. Also, let him or her know that you are presently finding it difficult to eat and pay your bills. After this revelation, watch his attitude and disposition towards you. It will take God for him to pick up your calls again. This is because stock brokers and financial advisers are in the business of helping you manage the wealth you already created. And are not in the business of helping you build wealth in the first place. One truth you must embrace is that rich...

Your knowledge is all you need to generate income through this avenue. And the good news is we are all knowledgeable in something; something that others are ignorant or less knowledgeable of. And it is our privilege to teach these things to these other people for a fee. Knowledge monetization is one of the most lucrative business models with great potential to create financial freedom there is. It is a business model that offers you the opportunity to productize the knowledge between your two ears. Yes, your knowledge can be turned into an information product that would generate a good income for you. You might want to ask what an information product is. What Is an information product?
