Having Personal Integrity Is The Surest Way To Get Rich

Posted on March 28, 2008 - Filed Under Success Tips Articles | Leave a Comment

Earl Nightingale once wrote, “If honesty did not exist, it would have to be invented, as it is the surest way of getting rich.” I agree with this because every truly successful person I’ve ever met had a very high level of personal integrity. Sure, I’ve met people who have made a lot of money using standards that were less than perfect, some even unethical, but ultimately these individuals always fell from grace.

Cash Reserves Are Critical In A Down Economy

Posted on March 20, 2008 - Filed Under Success Tips Articles | Leave a Comment

Pick up a newspaper or turn on the television news and you won’t be able to avoid stories about the sagging economy; homes being foreclosed, gas prices hitting record highs, savings at all time lows and mounting personal and governmental debts. During times like these people with cash reserves survive and often thrive while those without reserves get in serious financial troubles. When the economy is booming and everyone is making money, it’s easy to get lured into believing it will continue forever. That has happened to many people.

Many Factors Play Into Reaching Financial Independence

Posted on March 14, 2008 - Filed Under Success Tips Articles | Leave a Comment

We hear a lot of talk about financial independence, but how do you define the term. Financial independence for someone comfortable with a $3,000 per month standard of living is totally different from someone who wants a $30,000 per month standard of living. I define financial independence as the point where your assets are able to produce enough income to sustain your chosen standard of living without having to trade labor for earnings. With this in mind, achieving achieve financial independence must start by setting a goal for the kind of lifestyle you want to live.

Well, I finally made it! Yep! I never thought I’d see the day when I would draw Social Security, but here I am, just getting my first check at age 62. I know you’re probably looking at my picture and thinking, “No way a young man like that could be old enough to draw Social Security.” I’m thinking the same thing, especially since I’ve had no earned income for the last twelve years. It’s like found money.

New Real Estate Investor – Connecticut

Posted on March 2, 2008 - Filed Under Testimonials | Leave a Comment

I am a currently a 40-year-old network manager in Connecticut who plans to retire by age 55 (it’s still 12 years earlier than the Federal government believes I should) and live to age 120 (in better health, each year). For much of my life, I have been dissatisfied with what Robert Kiyosaki would call the “E” lifestyle of earned income. But only the birth of my first child, in October 2004, really brought it to a point that I could not stand idle any longer and felt that I had a limited time in which to do something about it. As Napoleon Hill or Gary Keller might say, I went from “I really want to do this” to “I need to do this!”
