April Fools’ Day happened yesterday.
This day has been popular since medieval
times, where people play practical jokes
and hoaxes on each other. It is amazing
to see the creativity involved with the
jokes taking place. Did you hear about
the one where a teenager stuffed
doughnuts with mayonnaise and gave
them to his friends?

It is a good time to write this piece
since many things appear to be
different than what they actually are.
It’s the same with money — people look
like they are wealthier than they… Read More

The Freedom of Having a Billion Dollars

Last week, I talked about the Billion $ Bracket
Challenge that Warren Buffett was funding. Well,
Buffett is probably sleeping better at night since
he was relieved of paying out the billion to the
contestant who would have won if they picked
the perfect winning bracket for the NCAA 64
team basketball championship. My dream of
winning the money vanished when Dayton
upset Ohio State 60-59 the first day of the
tournament. A second day of upsets ended
everyone’s chances of winning it all.

Wouldn’t it feel great to win … Read More

The Investing Madness

March Madness is here.  Have you made your
64 college basketball team picks?

Warren Buffett is insuring the Billion $ Bracket Challenge
if you can pick the perfect winning bracket.  The good
news is it’s free to enter and you have nothing to lose.
The not-so-good news is that your chances of winning
are a quintillion to one.  I never knew there was such
a word, quintillion, which is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,
or 1 followed by 18 zeros.  Maybe someone will break
the odds.  I hope it is you.

Update:  A few weeks ago, I wrote a newsletter
regarding The Hidden Power that will Make You Rich.
The theme of the newsletter was visualizing.  In the
piece, I shared with you a success story from one
of my clients who used visualizing under my
guidance to advance his career. His focus was
on making a new cultural change within his company.

Each night, he set a clear picture of the changes
he wanted to see in his mind.  Within a very short
time period, his boss met with … Read More

Have you ever wondered what the truth
of money is about?  Here it is:

Being honest has always been
the key to making money in the world.

You will never hear this broadcasted
on the nightly news or printed in
your local paper.  We are constantly
bombarded with messages of how
the wealthy cut corners to stay
ahead and undermine the little guy.
This is the opposite of the truth.

This brings us to our fourth philosophy
of Money on Your Terms:

I do what is honorable with
my life … Read More

A good habit to get into on the road to building wealth.

Looking back on my success with money,
there is one important characteristic that
has worked for me over the years, and that
is having RESPECT for it.

How do you treat your money?  Are you
taking care of it, or do your behaviors
and actions make it disappear from
your life?

You will most likely not find this attribute
taught in books about building wealth.
Usually, you will find ideas on how to
get rich in real estate and the stock market,
or how to succeed in business.  The information… Read More

Why they call it currency and what it can do for you

Currency represents money.  Paper bills and coins
are currency.  There are trillions of dollars circulating
through the global monetary system.  The amount
of cash that the public holds varies seasonally, by
the day of the month, and even by the day of the
week.

For example, people demand a large amount of
cash for shopping and vacations during the
year-end holiday season.  People also typically
withdraw cash at ATMs over the weekend, so
there is more cash in circulation on Monday than
on Friday according to the Federal Reserve Bank… Read More

How do you feel about your life right now?  Do you feel powerful?
Do you actually like yourself?  Do you care about what others
think of you?

You are probably wondering what this has to do with money.
It actually has everything to do with money.  Let me explain.
Last week, I mentioned that I would go into detail about the
philosophies of Money on Your Terms so you could have
an in-depth view on how to apply them to your own life.

Did you watch the Super Bowl XLVIII?

If you did, you saw the Seattle Seahawks totally
dominate the Denver Broncos.  What you did not
see is what happened behind the scenes with
the Seahawks.

Pete Carroll, coach of the Seattle Seahawks,
used his Winforever philosophy and principles
to prepare and execute a winning game plan.
If you listened to Pete’s post-game interviews,
you can hear him mention some of his philosophies
like “It’s all about the ball” and “Finish”.

I was first exposed to his winning philosophy when
I met … Read More

During the month of January, I have been going over
the key habits and values that are important in wealth
creation.  I could give you all the tips and strategies on
money, but nothing will work until you implement these
behaviors into your life.  When it comes to having money,
it is 90% behavioral and 10% implementation.

So I would like to continue this week by highlighting
the capacity within you that can accelerate your
behaviors with money, thus enabling you to bring your
hopes and dreams into reality.
