Who of you out there think that you are going to get by in retirement? Who of you are planning to retire on a decent enough income to be able to live the life you truly desire?

Well let me give you some interesting statistics……….

  1. 96% of the population will be dead or dead broke at age 65.
  2. 3% will retire financially independent.
  3. 1% will retire wealthy.

I am on the Gold Coast of Australia attending a 21st Century Academy wealth creation seminar. We have just had an incredible two days just for women. Women statistically make better investors than men as we do not get emotionally attached or let our ego’s in the way of our investing. So we are being taught simple strategies that we can take away and apply to get on with our journey to wealth creation.

Here are a few more statistics…………

  1. 47% of women in their 50’s are single.
  2. 50% of marriages end in divorce.
  3. In the 1st year after divorce, a woman’s standard of living drops an average of 73%.
  4. 7 outof 10 women will live in poverty at some time.

It’s amazing that we still believe in our education system. It was designed in the 19th century so is now out of date. What do we learn at school? Work hard, get good grades and then find a job and trade your time for money. The harder you study, the better the grades, the better your job.

Well I am on a mission to learn how to create wealth and become financially free. The first secret I learned is that it is 80% mindset and 20% work. So long as your head is in the right frame of mind, you will attract and create the wealth that you need and desire.

Just one more statistic for you…did you know that if all the wealth in the world right now was divided equally amongst every body, we would all be millionaires. So if you do not have your 3 million dollars you are being ripped off.

Who of you have heard of the “Baby Boomers?” These are people born after the second world war from around 1946 up until 1961 or there abouts. Generally speaking, this group of people are the ones who have started all the trends over the last 50-60 years.

Well in around six years time, a lot of those baby boomers will have reached retirement age. Once this happens, they will want to draw out their Superannuation Funds or 401K as it is called in America. This is money put away while you work to live off when you come out of the workforce.

Once this happens, it will have a profound effect on the way we live. For example, these funds are mostly invested in the stock market. As there will be a vast majority of retirees all at once, there will be a lot of funds drawn out of the stock market at one time. The repercussions of this will leave us with a devastating ripple effect.

The Dow Jones is a group of stocks on the US stock exchange that govern the way we live. If there is a decline in share prices, then unemployment will rise. Inflation will rise. Interest rates will go up. Do you get the drift? If we are not in a position to take care of ourselves no one else will.

This is why it is important to start taking action now so we can be prepared for when this happens. And when it does, it will not be short term. You need to have a substantial portfolio of investments to see you through for perhaps ten years as this is how long it will take to repair itself if we are lucky.

I needed to pass this information on as I want you to be prepared for it too. If you need a place to start then look up this link at Dynamic Wealth Education and you will have access to the same information as me. See for yourself how simple the strategies are and order the free DVD.

I will be here for the next four days in seminars so will impart to you some more of what I learn in that time.

To Your Success!

Big Day Out!

Hi Team

Well today I did take some time out from working at my PC to spend some time with my family and some friends.  We spent the day at a seaside suburb called St Kilda where on every Sunday they hold a craft market with many wonderful stalls to investigate.  There are many colorful characters in and around this area so it makes for a very interesting day out!

The kids were also looking forward to having a ride on the Carousel (or Merry-Go-Round as they call it) as there happens to be the  one and only permanent amusement park right there by the sea.  I have posted some photo’s for your viewing pleasure in my photo gallery. 

When you follow the link above to St Kilda, you will learn more about this little metropolitan town by the seaside.

So I will get back to work tomorrow giving you some info on how to get traffic to your lead capture page.  You will find mine at http://www.greatbiz4home.com/leadcap.htm 

To Your Success!

There’s Got To Be A Better Way!

Saturday

How is it that some people are able to earn incredible incomes and have the time to enjoy the fruits of their labour, while others struggle just to make ends meet and then find they don’t have time to do what they really want to do?  The answer is actually quite simple. The type of lifestyle you have is determined not only by the amount of income you earn, but also the type of income you earn. Now we realise that sounds very basic… but think about it.

Although there are many ways to earn income, there are really only 2 types of income.  There’s TEMPORARY INCOME where you do the work one time and get paid one time. And then there’s RECURRING INCOME where you can do the work once, and get paid for that work over and over again - thus creating an ongoing CASH FLOW.

So what kind of income do you earn? TEMPORARY or RECURRING? …Not sure?

Ask yourself  these questions…

  • If you’re an employee, aside from allotted vacation or  sick days, if  you don’t go to work, do you still get paid?
  • If you’re a professional, like a doctor, lawyer or  accountant, if you don’t see your patients or clients,  will they still pay you for your services?
  • If you’re in sales, perhaps real estate, cars or retail, if  you don’t show up to work, will your customers still pay you a commission?
  • If you own a small business, does it do as well when you’re not there as it does when you are?

If you answered NO to any of those questions, then you earn TEMPORARY INCOME.  Temporary income is income that is strictly dependent on the amount of hours you put in. And since there is always a limit to the amount of hours you can or are willing to work, there will always be a limit to the amount of income you can earn. The reality is that you can never really accumulate wealth and enjoy true lifestyle by exchanging time for money.  There simply are not enough hours in the day!

Our business system is designed to help you make the transition from TEMPORARY income to RECURRING income WITHOUT giving up your day job …You can accumulate wealth, and have the quality time to enjoy your success.

To the Top!
