Archive for the 'Best Way to Invest Money' Category

So you’ve been wondering how to invest your money in this economy.  Trust me, I get it!  It’s bad enough having to invest in a down market, but it’s even worse having to be a beginner investing in this tough economy.  I listened carefully to Donna’s story.  She had so many useful questions.  But where was she to go for the answers?

Where should I invest?

How much should I invest?

When is the best way to invest money?

How much should I invest?

Let me give you my “Five Point Star Strategy” for Beginner Investing!

  • Invest only an amount you’re comfortable with
  • Invest only in something you have knowledge about and believe in
  • Invest only after you’ve paid your monthly bills and are up to date for the month
  • Invest with people you know and trust
  • Follow your gut instinct when investing.

Certainly if you are planning to play the game of money you can’t do it successfully without investing.  So, even if you are just a beginner investing in some market I suggest you begin to explore what is the best way to invest money for you.  You will only reap rich rewards if you get started even though you are just a beginner investor.

So, in talking with Donna this is what I suggested.  Never mind the fact that you are a getting started with little experience and you’re viewing yourself merely as a beginner investing in this bad economy.

Now is as good a time as any.

Furthermore it is probably the best time simply because the market is so low.

Think about itEverything is on saleThere’s really no better time than now.

And if you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the information that is out there consider this.  There are so many powerful beginner investing strategies that are safe and secure for anybody in your situation, you don’t have to feel all alone.  But whatever you do, GET STARTED.

If you never get started then you’ll never get finished.

If you use the “Five Point Star Strategy” I’ve suggested above you’ll be off to a great start.  Just consider the benefits.  By following this method you’ll be taking advantage of the system millions have used with success in the past.  It offers financial, emotional and personal security as well as avenues to securing the best way to invest money.

Now, let me also tell you that this is the same system used on my new and powerful blog located at My Well of Wealth. There I offer what I’ve called a My WOW 30–Day Challenge to create a plan to eliminate your debts and start building wealth.  In other words the “Five Point Star Strategy” REALLY DOES WORK!

Notice how it begins with you identifying what amount you’re comfortable with.  Don’t even think of investing if you’re not comfortable with the amount.  I know it may seem really trivial for me to mention this.

You’re probably wondering “Why is he going to spend all this time talking about this?”

Well, just so you know there are thousands who lose their shirt in while starting out as a beginner investing an amount they are not comfortable with.  THAT’S FOOLISH and I don’t want you to get all caught up in that trap.

Second I can’t stress enough the importance of only investing in something that you’re knowledgeable about and believe in.

  • Don’t mess around with stuff you don’t understand.
  • Don’t play with investments you don’t even believe in.
  • Don’t waste time with funds, projects or opportunities that do not appeal to you on an emotional level.

Now, some would agree to this and others would disagree.  Some schools of thought seem to suggest that the best way to invest money even as a beginner investing is to invest in something you are not emotionally tied to.  They further suggest that the fastest and most effective way to find that “something” is for you to search in areas of the market you know little about or have the least interest and belief in.

I think this is utter absolute nonsense and anybody who is just starting out as a beginner investing in the market would be downright FOOLISH to follow such a line of reasoning.

And no I’m not trying to be polite about telling you this.  I’m telling it like it is.  On my blog at My Well of Wealth I’m know to be a straight shooter and I’m going to shoot you straight here as well.

A real fast way to loose all your money is to invest in something you know little about and have no interest in or don’t believe in.  So what am I saying.  I’m strongly suggesting that you start looking for ways and means to invest or leverage your money that fall within what you are knowledgeable and familiar with.

This is sound and meaningful advice to whoever wants to still have their money especially in this market.

The primary advantage in doing this is that you are not going to be ignorant or irresponsible when viewing and understanding what is going on with your company or the investment.  You have some background knowledge that will really serve you and help you stay ahead of the market.  Furthermore, you will have greater peace of mind and personal solitude when you consider how you feel emotionally about your investment.

Now, what I mean when I say that “you should only invest after you’ve paid your monthly bills and you’re up-to-date for the month” is don’t play the fool with your creditors money.

So many people are messing around with money that is supposed to go to their creditor.  It is a mistake to take money that is owed to somebody else and invest it with the hope that it will make more money.

But this is a common mistake that many people use as a beginner investing strategy.  They take money from their expense account that is really earmarked for paying a bill and they invest it.

So, don’t make this mistake.  Leave money that is ear-marked for paying a bill to pay that bill and then invest the money that is left over.

All this works providing you really take on this additional distinction.  Invest with people you know and trust.

Submit every investment offer to the ACID TEST of Do I know, trust or like this company or these people?

Now I’m simply suggesting that you get to know the people or the opportunity you’re investing with.  Don’t get caught putting your money somewhere you’re totally ignorant about.

Take some time and get to know the company.  Get to know the product or service.  Get to know the people who own or operate the company.

Ultimately I suggest that as a beginner investing in any market it is wise to follow your gut instinct when investing.

That’s right!

Don’t get caught or trapped in an investment that you feel uneasy about when getting into it.  You may be a beginner investing in this market but you don’t have to be uncomfortable or unsafe.  If you really want to find the best way to invest money in this stagnant  economy start by being at peace with wise and safe investment strategies.

I’ve launched the My Well of Wealth website to offer any beginner investing in today’s market an opportunity to get started right.  Start out by first creating a plan during the My WOW 30–Day Challenge to eliminate your debts and start building wealth.  The next My WOW 30–Day Challenge starts on April 15.  You will be able to get started fresh as a beginner investing with powerful strategies and on a solid platform after taking this challenge.  I look forward to seeing you there.

1936642_blogWell that’s a great question and though my answer just might shock you completely I’m just glad that you asked.  Trust me when I tell you I’m not sitting here trying to shock you by being a cocky or rude. So don’t take it the wrong way when I tell you that according to the My Well of WealthInvesting for Dummies” philosophy, the best way to invest money is to stop resisting the act of investing.

It was about two years ago that I had a really nice chat with Lawrence and his wife Susan.  They were doing well but were concerned about whether or not they should invest their money in a house or the stock market.  I promised them like I’m promising you that you that if they would buy wisely using a series of conservative comparables they would definitely be safe.

So, here are three solid principles that form sort of the underpinnings of safe investing. I’m really not even suppose to share these concepts here with my blogging audience because I’ve really stolen them off of the My Well of Wealth 30–Day Challenge.  At this brand new site you will find a wealth of innovative information for the creative investor. The number one offer right now being featured is the My WOW 30–Day Challenge to create a plan eliminate your debts and start building wealth.  That’s really the best way to invest money.  Invest it only after you’ve created and established a powerful plan for the future of that money.

Here are those three solid principles I was starting to tell you about:

  • Make sure you’re not investing your entire nest egg.  Ensure that you are also putting aside at least one tenth of your income every month to pay yourself.  This will serve two primary functions for you.
    • First of all you will find that investing into your savings account is probably going to be one of the most powerful principles I teach in my program.  You must pay yourself so that you can start tapping into what that means to never have to think the thought again that says “I don’t have any money.”  You will always have money and as you’re watching you will feel an increase in your own personal value as well.
  • Do not set out to force your money to make unreasonable or outrageous performances of growth and increase.  Do not fall for the trap that would have you play with your finances as if you were playing at a slot machine in a casino.  If you really want to gamble with your hard earned cash then go and buy a lottery ticket.
  • Invest in solid hard core assets that are actually tangible.  Yes that still includes the housing market.

So with all that in mind let me finish telling about Lawrence and Susan.  They were scared to invest money in a property.  They said what many others were saying, “The market is too high – it’s just too high.”

I showed them how they could still win if they were to get a property at the right price in the right community that is growing and has shown itself to grow even in previous recessions, and finally if they were to buy an income-producing property.

Frankly after hearing their story I realized how much and how strong the need for greater financial investment literacy is today. Right now it seems like most people are really stuck with uncertainty surrounding this question. But I promise you if you knew where to go to get the guidance and the counsel you would not hesitate. You won’t rush either but you would invest wisely. That’s why I put together this brand new site called My Well of Wealth in the first place.  This is a site that takes a head on, no holds barred approach at dealing with you and your various money issues. Yes, I do address all your money issues for you.   It is a site that offers you a real opportunity to get the financial investing muscle you really want to build.  You will get a chance to really confront and bust up whatever it is that is stopping you in your life.

But still they complained that the market is simply too high.  I said okay you’re right.  The market is too high. Now, while I’m a great believer in the fact that every market is a great market to invest in providing you confront the truth about the property, the opportunity and the market. In a high market you must find a great property at a very low interest rate and in an extremely desirable price.

But here’s the question I want you to ponder. Now that the market has come down, do you think there is a safe way to invest money? Sure their is! And that safe way is Real Estate. Do you think Lawrence and Susan are investing even though everything is on sale at 50% off? No! How about you? Are you investing in this economy? Are you living in fear of losing your money?

Here at the My Well of Wealth Website you will get a chance to really learn about what is going on in your financial life.  You will finally be able to confront your debts and start building wealth via an easy workable plan that will totally transform your finances when you fully engage in the process. And furthermore you’ll get chance to discover the best way to invest money for you. Becoming aware of your power to make wise choices when it comes to investing will leave you with a new found power and freedom. Visit the My Well of Wealth site right now.

One of the first things you need to do is to sign up for the My WOW 30–Day Challenge. The first Challenge actually just got started but it’s not too late for you to join. Go ahead and get registered today.

Let me tell you about Sally.  She and her husband were certain they knew the best way to invest money.  They would find the best stock market broker and follow exactly all his instructions. In fact, they said I’m going to pay him to give me the best investment advice.  And so off there they went investing in the stock market. Well, that was two years ago, so you can imagine given the state of the economy right now, what happened to their investments and what happened to their belief that the stock market was the best way to invest money? And as you know everybody has been searching for the best way to leverage their money

Then there was Janet, she felt the stock market was not good at all.  The best way to invest money was in real estate, so off she went buying all these properties for nothing down, getting easy and quick financing and well, that was two years ago, and so we all know what happened to the real estate market two years ago, and what has happened to her belief that real estate was the best way to invest money. You see, no matter what you invest in, realizing that investments that are not sure and not secure are no investments at all and recognizing how to identify those type of investments will always keep you safe, and so what is the best way to invest money, invest when you, yourself, have the knowledge. Don’t depend on somebody else’s wisdom. Depend on your personal knowledge and refuse to invest in opportunities that require you to get involved in something you know nothing or little about, and that’s the best way to invest. Well, that’s not all, there’s much more than that. After you felt the pain of losing all your money, the question now becomes what’s the best way to invest? Maybe I should stay out of the market all together.  Well that’s clearly not the best way to invest.  If you want to know how to invest, the best way to invest after losing money is to acquire the knowledge you need in whatever specific and particular area you want to invest in. Then beyond acquiring knowledge, there’s something more.  You must have a desire not to make quick money but to make slow and sure money, gradual certain gains will grow much faster than quick. That’s why I put together my well of wealth — a brand new, dynamic, exciting, and information-rich website designed to help you the investor, who’s struggling to build your own financial nest egg.  This website helps you find the best way to invest. Let me give you a tip: The very, very, very best way to invest is invest in yourself and then you’ll bring a better person to the marketplace. You’ll bring a better you to your business, you’ll bring a better you to your workplace, and to your family and to your home.  You’ll have more strength and energy, more vigor, more vitality; and the second best way to invest is to invest where you have the knowledge. That means you have to start acquiring knowledge. That’s why My Well Of Wealth is so exciting for so many investors.  I’m offering a 30-day challenge that starts in March 15th, just six days away, an opportunity for you to take the 30-day challenge to eliminate debt and start building wealth, because one of the best ways for you to invest is to invest in the elimination of your debt. Can you imagine how life would be for you if you owed nobody anything? That’s the best way to invest: When nobody has a claim on your property, on your finances, nobody is looking at your money and saying that’s mine — that’s an incredible way to invest. I invite you to take the My Well Of Wealth 30-Day Challenge.  Don’t delay, don’t second-guess.  Take the 30-day challenge, sign up for it today, to eliminate debt and start building wealth.

Thousands of investors who thought they knew the “Best Way to Invest Money” have been loosing their shirt in this down economy.

But, for now I’ve listed them here for your benefit:

  1. Gold comes gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put by not less than one-tenth of his earnings to create an estate for his future and that of his family.
  2. Gold labors diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds for it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
  3. Gold clings to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.
  4. Gold slips away from the man who invests it in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.
  5. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who follows the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.

So…. here’s the shocking truth.

If you haven’t followed the Five Laws of Gold then you need to in order to secure your investment and utilize the best way to invest money in this economy or any other economy for that matter.

I met up with Bill and Donna who were successful in their careers but looking for ways to survive the current economic crisis.  They both had just one question for me.  It’s probably a question you’re asking too? “What is the best way to invest money in this economy”? I know there is a recession or a depression going on right now depending on who you talk to. But… inquiring minds still want to know the best way to invest money so it will grow while it remains safe and secure. I know you must feel frustrated right now and uncertain about where you should put your hard-earned cash so it will be safe.  You may even be having trouble sleeping at night because you are worried about what the markets are going to do next. So, I’m really glad you’re asking this question. So, let me start by saying if you are one of the many people who are investing wildly and madly in everything and anything with the hopes and prayers that something will work then “STOP RIGHT NOW”. So many people are just throwing money up against the wall and hoping something would stick. But, trust me when I say, this is not the time to be playing those kind of dangerous wild cards. Just because the market is down and everything from widgets to real estate is on sale doesn’t mean that you just walk around throwing your hard earned money at everything. I told Bill and Donna what I’m about ready to tell you.  The best way to invest in this economy or any other economy is to invest in yourself. Invest in:

  • Discovering how to get rid of your debts and start building wealth
  • Improved fitness or health and wellness
  • Better relationships and greater peace of mind
  • Personal character development
  • Acquiring more knowledge or wisdom
  • Learning a new skill or a new language

Okay, so I see you’ve raised your eyebrows and in your mind you’re casting a doubtful glance at yourself.  I know you’re thinking, “How is all that gonna make me money?”. Well, just like my own Mother told me, let me tell you.  She used to say, “Silver and gold may vanish away but a good education will never decay”. Jim Rohn, America’s Leading Business Philosopher says it another way.  “Work harder on yourselves than you do on your job”.  He is well known for saying “Don’t look for less challenges, look for more wisdom”.  “Don’t pray for less problems pray for more skills”.  “Don’t wish for life to become easier, wish that you can become better”. And if you would work harder on yourself than you do on your job then you can bring a better person to the market place. So indeed one of the first and foremost powerful ways to invest money in these difficult economic times may seem quite unlikely.  But I’m telling you I know that it works. The reason it works is that whenever you take the time out to become better then you bring a better “YOU” to the marketplace. Now, you are able to operate with greater ease and a heightened productivity.  You will know how to literally grind obstacles to powder and challenge anything that stands in the way of you achieving your highest goals. But you must be willing to work on “YOU”. So, why do so few people ever take the time out to work on themselves? Well, I don’t know!  I really just don’t know! And it’s not my job to figure out the  answer to that. My job is to tell you with compelling conviction that you will go farther in pursuit of your goals if you will take some time out to do just that.  Work harder on yourself than you do on your job in these hard economic times. A down economy is the best time to do that because what you invest in yourself will always retain its value.  The reduction of debt, increased knowledge, greater skills, accumulated wisdom and the better health you build will serve you reliably well for years to come. You will find that the money, time and energy spent in working on yourself will never be wasted.  Years from now you will still be reaping rich dividends and rewards from what you’ve accomplished in your own personal journey of development. That is why I’ve built this brand new blog to support you in your desire to become better.  Here on the “My WOW” or “My Well of Wealth” Blog, you will soon begin to discover a vast quantity of extraordinary, life transforming information. The intention of this blog is to help you specifically in the areas of money.  My goal is to enhance your ability to save it, make it and invest it.  In these difficult economic times you can’t be no slouch with your finances. You must become bullet proof in the way you operate your financial systems and become totally unmessable with.  Build the kind of life where nobody has a claim on your finances.  And you can quickly discover various ways of doing that by participating in the programs offered by “My Well of Wealth”. In fact, you’re just in time for the first powerful program that I’ll be offering.  I call it the My WOW 30–Day Challenge to create a plan to eliminate your debts and start building wealth. I have worked night and day to put this program together and I promise you it will be amazing.  It starts in March 15, 2009. You can sign up today and make sure you get a position in the challenge since there are a limited number who can take the My WOW 30 Day Challenge.

Isn’t that what you want? So, if you don’t believe the best way to invest money in this economy is to invest in your self then you can leave this page right now and don’t bother coming back. But, if you are sold on the power of investing in “YOU” then go ahead and sign up for the My WOW 30–Day Challenge. It’s free to sign up and you’ll be all ready to start on March 15, 2009.

Invest in paying off your debts, improving your health, enhancing your relationships, broadening your horizons and increasing your knowledge of your business.
