you have to have disposal income to start investing. If you are in debt, you need to pay off the debt first or you will never be out of debt. Paying off a house is a debate that many have. If you have car/credit card debt, pay those off first. Then, The simplest way to invest is to go to Vanguard/Fidelity, pick your Brokerage house and set up a  account and start to buy an index mutual fund that contains the total US stock market and a fund that contains the total international stock market. you are now diversified and own every stock. the aveage, basic investor will never pick the correct stock to make them money. Just buy index funds since they are the cheapest funds to own. If the Dow goes up 10%, your fund goes up 10%. .001% of the money managers can consistently beat the market and you will never have access to those people. Then if you get more education and understand the mutual funds, you can move in ETFs, which are mutual funds that trade like stocks. Most of these are cheaper than mutual funds. Do some research and look at the expense ratio of what these funds charge to hold. That is your single most important factor. A mutual fund with a 1% expense will eat 20% of your profit if the fund earns 5%. ETFs and some Index mutual funds have an expense ratio of less than .15%, some lower than .10% because they are not actively managed. Go to Vanguard.com and learn about the mutual funds and ETFs.

Local businesses are struggling. Many have websites, but aren’t getting any results from them. Others don’t have websites at all. You can help by learning search engine optimization, how to set up an email list, and more, and then implementing these for local businesses.

It seems like there are as many definitions of financial planning as there are advisors. A complete financial plan starts with a full listing of your goals and values, identifies your priorities, reviews your current expenditures, reviews alternatives, develops appropriate strategies and solutions, takes the needed actions, and maintains a constant review of everything. But, that is beyond the scope here. Now, before Warren Buffett was a top earner, he learned how to be an Olympic class saver, saving the equivalent of $70,000 in today’s money while paying the tuition and expenses of college. So, let’s just talk about the most basic aspect of a financial plan… how to start a home budget.
Watch other people’s kids along with your own. There’s a good chance your friends who work outside of their homes would be thrilled to have an experienced parent watch their children while they are at the office. It can be manageable if your friend in need has only one or two kids. Plus, the new playmates will help keep your children occupied for a few hours. Pay varies widely based on where you live and the ages and number of kids you’ll be watching, but babysitters and nannies typically can make up to $10 an hour in small cities and much more – even double that hourly rate – in larger cities.
Over the past year from these 1 million visitors, I’ve made about $200,000 through the website, but not entirely on the website. Meaning, I have made a lot more money through connections that I’ve made through the website, then on the website through banner ads, affiliate ads, and sponsored content.
There is a better way. And it starts with your signature. Your signature can be worth millions if you use it correctly. Use it poorly and you will end up like the lottery winners who are broke 3 years after having millions in their hands.
All sales solutions solve a problem and with any challenge comes emotion. If you solve a problem as a salesperson but don’t understand the emotion, you’ll probably lose the deal. The feelings and emotions attached to the problem drive the outcome more than the problem itself.
When I was in college, I let some of the bad financial advice I was getting seep over into my personal life. For example, I helped my college girlfriend open a credit card, which she used to rack up her own credit card debt. Yikes.
I recently stopped contributing to my 401k. My company does not match it and my investment options were limited. Instead I now take what I was saving and put it in index funds and ETFs. Uncle Sam takes more now, but my returns will be bigger in the long run. Plus I have control over what I invest in. Non-matched 401ks are nothing more than a savings account at the mercy of someone else running it. Growth opportunities and disciplined saving doing it myself far outweigh any tax advantages of my 401k over the life my saving.

Thank you very much for your comment Alexis. You are right, those videos with only voice over PowerPoint presentations are extremely poor. I understand, it is much easier, cheaper, and also safer to produce. First, they don’t need to rent luxury villas, privates jets, Ferraris, etc. Second, they don’t need to hire actors. And third, if the guy in the video (only the voice) says that he is a super-duper success story John Smith but never show you any photo of himself, how on Earth can you prove he is a genuine person. Most probably he is not.
Being open to learn makes you more attractive to millionaires. I love learning and reading. I am constantly reading about the past millionaires, CEO’s of high end companies that I admire. I highly recommend doing the research and reading one book a month or even more if you can.
When you look back at Google, Larry Page introduced Google Books when he bought a scanner and hooked it up in his office. He began scanning pages, timed it, ran numbers and realized it would be possible to bring book’s online.
As I teased in this post earlier today, my ‘How To Make Millions’ DVD is 70% off here (remember all the $ from the sale of this DVD goes to charity) for just a few more days during it’s pre-sale…I previously posted this video preview of some of the other great millionaire traders featured on this DVD, but I thought I’d show you some awesome clips from a section I just finished today regarding risk/reward and trade planning…45 minutes out of right now 35+ hours of content, this section focusing on risk/reward…oh baby, this is going to be a GREAT study guide…I hope you enjoy and learn:
Part of staying disciplined is to remain vigilant about monitoring your progress and making sure you are still on track. If life events knock you off your plan for even a few months, the long-term effects could have much more of an impact than you realize. By taking the 35-year, $500-per-month example and simply removing a single year from the calculation, the total drops from $1.03 million to about $950,000. Missing a month here and a month there can quickly add up to a lost year or two over time. Checking progress regularly is critical.
While this won’t get you rich by any measure, you can sell products online using sites like Craigslist, Alibaba, eBay and even the Amazon Marketplace. In fact, these are some of the top online destinations where you’ll be able to easily reach the masses. Instead of building your own ecommerce shop, selling products on these marketplaces, can be an instant boon for you.
It doesn’t have to be a specific business. There are many business ideas; search a need for a particular business in your surrounding area, do the SWOT analysis to see if it will work, then do an initiation. Being well-known will come once you’ve become established and achieved success.
This happened to me. There were lunchtime whinging sessions, random phone calls, emails – you name it. In one of the calls with my colleagues, things turned sour. I immediately hung up from the call. I then got SMS’s saying “Did you drop off the phone?”
