What can you expect from this blog? It depends what you are looking.
If you are middle class America who either went to school, got good grades or listened to everything that you were taught, and now working hard to pay the bills, wondering to yourself, “how, when, can I ever obtain the wealth that I once thought was possible?”, then you have found your huckleberry.
Right here, on this blog, you’ll get to join me (an average American) through the journey to wealth. Together, with me, you’ll learn and apply the lessons of the wealthy.
No, I am not a financial planner. I don’t come from wealth. I’m just an individual that got fed up with all the talk about the “American Dream” being DEAD. I got tired of listening to what I call the “doom-n-gloom” messages that are “shoved down” the throats of Middle America.
I got frustrated because in my daily economic life, as a marketing consultant I’ve consulted, studied, seen or rubbed elbows with, used to be, Middle Americans that are now millionaires or multi-millionaires.
My marketing expertise has helped my clients to overcome business pitfalls and more importantly, profit even through this so called economic down spiral.
So I asked myself two questions:
1. What specific strategies have my clients used to multiply their money?”
2. Can I share these with the millions of Middle Americans who inspire to become rich?
Overwhelmed with a burning desire to solve why riches have eluded millions of us, I grilled mentors, began building relationships with people at or pursing the status of becoming “rich” and scoured books, seminars and any other information that I could find on the subject.
What I found was any Middle American can obtain wealth if they are willing to master what I call “10 Crucial Disciplines to Build Riches”. The mastery of these ten disciplines has become the pinnacle of my financial philosophy. They are as follows:
1. Debt Management
2. Credit Management
3. Financial Literacy
4. Generation of Own Cash flow
5. Tax Planning Strategies
6. Investment Strategies
7. Charitable Giving Strategies
8. Estate Planning Strategies
9. Risk Management
10. 4th Quarter Strategies
Each of these 10 disciplines will be the focus of most articles that I post. On the surface, if you had to categorize this blog, it would be under personal finance. But that would be just what’s on the surface.
The intent of my impact has more to do with how we change behaviors about ourselves, opportunities, money and success than with traditional personal finance techniques.
I don’t like personal finance term because it doesn’t embody the nature of what folks like us are out to accomplish. After reading, digesting and consuming the actual “nectar” of this blog, you’ll begin to understand why personal finance sucks. (Read more at this post: Why Personal Finance Sucks).
