A Paycheck is Never Enough

30 Dec

A Paycheck is Never Enough

Money doesn’t fix your problems.
Money isn’t an answer, its merely a means to trading up toward your goals and dreams being realized. These seem like mixed concepts but bear with me.

A paycheck is not winning.
If you work for money you are losing. Hardcore. Unless you are in the top, let’s say 10% of the income bracket in our fine country you are precariously close to failure. If you are in the bottom 40% you may be already in what I call ‘failure to launch.’
It works like this: when you work for money you are losing. A large majority of folks on this continent are working for peanuts. I’m not here to argue for higher wages. What I am arguing for is that you expect more for your efforts. That doesn’t mean you storm corporate. It means you get to a higher plain. Demand more of yourself. I work hard at my day job. Real hard. And I play by the rules and do as I’m told. And in doing so I’ve earned trust and a little latitude. I’ve also been given more income. Great perk right lol. However I know this job can never be my everything. I want more. I need it. So I’ve had my own business in one shape or form since 2007. I’ve picked up new skills, joined mlm’s, worked with kids through NCLB, sold life insurance and become a licensed bouncer. All of these ventures except one made me money. Some still do actually. Also in doing my job I’ve learned great skills and been privy to great training that has made bouncing/security easier and made my resume for that line of work vastly grander.
Now all of that comes from the mindset that a paycheck is never enough.
We can’t simply work for money day in and day out and then die. Simple. Factual.
What’s your story?
What’s your motive?
Inspire people. Inspire yourself.
For you not to be more than a paycheck player is selfish. Expect more.
Live for more. Do more. Make the dollars you make work for you. Make your free time expansion time.
You need more than a paycheck.
You are more than a job.
Be everything you were made to be. Go beyond the money. Live the dream that is you-specific. Its that simple. Okay, you say Tony you jerk life isn’t that simple.
Fine you win. Enjoy that defeat.
Wow. Cuts deep right?
Its a mindset. Let yours be that there is a WAY- and You will Find it.
When you live and work for more than a paycheck you will be successful. You will be happy. Love your job? Already happy?
Fine. No problem.
One question- couldn’t you be more even in that thing you love?
I’ve found that the harder I work and apply myself at work and at my office- the greater success I’ve had. The more people I’ve helped. And the more abundance I’ve found. Aka my paycheck isn’t everything, and doesn’t have to be.

MAKE THE POOR RICH?

19 Nov

For today’s article I found myself motivated by an excerpt from the net:

In the words of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio

“The way to turn our economy around is not by making rich people poorer; it’s by making poor people richer.”
(Read more: http://bit.ly/RP1V65)

Now this I found very intriguing.  In this time of peoples unrepressed loathing of the 1% and the Occupy Wall Street movement there seems to be an every growing desire to rob the rich.  Now I know many people are going to ream me for this but I just can’t get with taking from those who built their fortunes.

The rich pay a vast majority of the taxes. 

The rich give the most to charities and non-profits globally (see buffet and gates).

If we are to simply take what they make, what incentive is there to keep making money and giving it as well?

In my humble opinion it is high time we find a way to incentivize people’s efforts to be rich.  Not everyone will make it, not everyone wants to- but wouldn’t the world be better if we all strived for greater gains?  Imagine if Michael Jordan only wanted single digit stats?  If Ali didn’t want to be the greatest? And what if Steve Jobs didn’t insist on perfection?  I think we would have lost as well.  Add Leonardo da Vinci to that mix to my friends and imagine what profound loss we as a species would have.  And it is in this vain that I exhort you to do as Rubio suggests.

Every economy in the world benefits when there are more wealthy folks or even those with healthy bank balances.  So let’s see how you would get there.

*Mind your Business.  Yup- not what your mom said, what Tony says.  Simply put make your own money.  Don’t be a wage slave forever.  If you don’t agree why not simply start a part time business from home?  Extra money in your spare time or a business that sets you free from having a boss is ideal.  The average millionaire was middle to lower class.  It doesn’t always take vast sums of cash to make more cash.  Bloomberg wasn’t born a billionaire but will die one.  He set lofty goals for himself and let his ambition move him beyond simple things.  Id dare say all his dreams have been actualized.  Doesn’t that sound great?  What separates us from him? Nothing. 

*SAVE, SAVE, SAVE.

Can’t find the time to build an empire?  Just not sure that’s what you want?  That’s not a problem.  Its fine actually.  Simply save and live below your means.  Start out trying to put aside 5% every month.  After the bite of this begins to fade up shift to 7%.  After that 10%.  Your goal should be to stash 20% of your take home every month from now to eternity.  Even after you reach your targeted amounts and goals- save more.  In retirement as well, save more.  The greater your capital cushion the easier you will weather the financial storms and the less stress you will feel.  When you hit a financial curve you will pause and then continue your forward motion.  Imagine not worrying about money, because you have an excess.

Your economic future is in your hands.  Therefore why would you not craft the most amazing, dynamic, wealthy personal economy you can?

Small Goals Lead to Big Dreams

22 Sep

Small Goals Lead to Big Dreams

In life a lot of game plans are pure horse pucket. You they are doo doo.
Get the drift?
You have to make your own plan. Your won time frame. Your own goals. And your own dreams. And a list of small goals will literally lead to Big Dreams materializing in your world.

-Small Dreams.
This is a big mistake. Always dream big. Want a car. Cool but a Fiat is nothing. Look for a Ferrari. Aim for two. There is a code of success and you may choose to ignore the code. A dream book is the key step in the code. Visualize big and you will be a BIG success. If your dreams are nothing- SO ARE YOU!!!

-Big dreams.
Big Dreams are the only things that breed success. They are the vehicle to the life you always wanted. When you want something big enough you will find a way. Nat Turner, Frederick Douglass wanted bigger than their lives offered them. Ghandi and Mandela wanted more than was set as their portion. And they all found ways. They gave and gave until their BIG. DREAM became realities. What we want we must fight for. We must see the big things. When we only see small problems and small wants we get nowhere. We may get something- but it ends up a big NOTHING. Is that what you want? Nope. Dream books help us materialize what we want to get. Where we want to go. They are a physical approach to seeing our truth. Because folks, you can say you’re all about the greater good but everyone has wants. And there is nothing wrong with wanting things. So Embrace IT!
Be who you are, ask for what you want! Get. what you deserve.

-Small Goals.
Small goals are the only method. If big dreams are the vehicle, then Small Goals are the fuel. To get everywhere I’ve gotten I use small goals. For example, these articles are done in small steps.
I get a concept. Work it out.
I get my outline worked out and redo it.
Then I write the article.
After that I edit it.
Lastly its posted and word is spread across
the internet to let people know my thoughts. You see these small goals pay off over the course of a day in simple, small units. And I love it.
Reaching my goal of a million dollars earned not by a job is the same.
I came up with a concept.
I work the concept.
I share it.
I create vast growth.
I repeat process.
I reap rewards.
In anything you do make it small goals to big dreams.
Want to bench 315 lbs on the flat bench? Start small and add 5 pounds every 3 weeks. Over the course of a year you will see massive gains.
Want to be Trump, Jobs, or Gates?
Same rule.
They started with an idea.
Then fleshed it out.
Then went steps farther to make it all real.

What do you want? What do you need? What will you dream?
Small goals are the key once you answer these questions.

SAVE NOTHING!!!!

21 Sep

SAVE NOTHING!!!!

NO MORE SAVINGS ACCOUNTS!!!
Savings accounts are killing your dreams. Your fancy IRA and 414k are slaving you out! Stop saving your money.
Okay. Wait up folks. Let me get into all this.
There’s a lot you need to know and I only got a few of the pieces. Let’s get it in my friends.

Ok, go ahead and save.
Save something but you shouldn’t be betting it will save you. A lot of people work like dogs and sock away that glorious 20%. Great plan. I applaud you. However I don’t agree. At this stage of my life I’ve committed to paying down my debts. I need financial freedom now. And before the economy tanked this was my thought. I knew I’d make up for lost time with the extra dollars, but couldn’t do both. So saving money is a last goal not a first. I say save something. Get up to a grand and stop. Suze Orman says save 6 months- for me that’s 18,200 bucks. Sorry Suz, but before the economy took a crap in my wallet you had a different plan for me. Ill skip you and a few others.

Your job won’t save you.
This part corresponds to the last one. Your job won’t provide the income you need. If you aren’t a top level CEO with that golden parachute forget it. Move on. Now you don’t have to quit but reassign your drive.

Make money. Create cash flow.
This is the only way I think we can thrive and not just survive. A friend and I have committed to buying a small amounts of .999 pure silver to hold wealth and barter if necessary. Now yes, I know this is savings. However its not fiat currency in the bank. Its not devalued dollars and I can trade it in this economy and in the event of an economic collapse- global or local.
Now this may not fit with the part of the article I started but wait- as my silver appreciates I make money. As I buy volumes cheap now I will beat the rise I see coming. And as I cash in ounces over time I will have a consistent cash flow. See how that works? Disagree with my concept fine but I have a way that is fluid and set to the constraints I designed. I have a plan. I’m in control. And a savings account wouldn’t do this for me. Look at the interest rates from ’06 to ’12 and tell me what you think.

Let residual income save you.
This is the way most people hate. Or even outright malign and avoid. Residual income simply means money coming in the future from past efforts. That’s it. You don’t need an mlm but why not try one? Tax breaks, fiscal education, what do you lose? Its a good way to learn at the very least. If not what do you think dividends in mega-conglomerates are? Get it. Continuous income is a key strategy. Why do banks charge interest? Car loans, mortgages, school loans. These are residuals for a bank. Create your own my friends.

You can’t reach your full potential wit a safety net.
This might be the key to my article. The heart of existence too.
When we aim for safety first we lose first. Life is a quick trip some say. I’m in my thirties and I let fear get me a lot when I was young, heights, rock climbing- no more. Last time I hit a theme park I got on every ride and got the cam picks to prove it. I screamed like a little kid but loved it in the end. And in life there is a saying: go for broke. If you do nothing but play it safe nothing will change. There is no growth. There is no dream. There is no hope.
Now I refuse to be safe. I use the club in my car and have alarms in my apartment and a go bag. But I don’t wait for safety in finance. I don’t wait for safety in my blog or my ventures. I reach for the stars. I commit funds and worry later. I’m not foolish but prudent. And here’s why: I’m used to making safe and or smart decisions and so when I take risks they are calculated. And that is smart. I share my world in this blog. I share my mind and heart with anyone willing. And I follow the financial strategies most shun.
And for me that works. I take a lot of fiscal risks. And yes I’ve lost money. I bought fools stocks too. The learning I gained was priceless. The courage I found- more so. This is my life and I won’t follow talking heads. I’m moving forward with no qualms.
I will be rich. By my hand, my choices, and with no safety net. Sorry to my fiscally prudent fellows- I won’t save to fight fear when success trumps all.

#thriveorsurvive.

Playing it safe is the cousin of fear when its true rationale eludes us. -CEO, Change In Advance.

REACH FOR THE TOP

21 Sep

SPEND your way to SUCCESS. (no, seriously)

30 Jun

SPEND your way to SUCCESS.

I know, I know. Suze Orman will lynch me and Robert Kiyosaki will probably argue this though I bet he concurs. Sorry though folks. Tony only had a poor dad. And I’ve seen how spending helps growth and success levels.

-Private school.
In my youth my parents wanted me and my sister in private schools. And no we weren’t snobs or high falootin’ either. What we were (are) was well educated. My sister could read proficiently at age four. And I was a poor reader until after the first grade but after that I gained acceptance to a gifted program. I say this not to brag but to speak on the efforts others put into us. At middle school age we both began private school educations having tested highly and procuring funding through scholarships and what have you. However there was a balance to be paid and my parents met the need and met it well. We were never threatened with removal et al due to lack of funding. You see my parents knew that spending their last pennies to secure a solid education for their children was a way to spend it all and win back richly. Many people will argue the merit of charter schools, advanced programs and what have you- but I know that we benefited vastly from a private school environment and education. From this I learned that what is worth having is worth paying for. Things gotten at too low a price aren’t worth much. Now Barter Kings will disagree and many thrifty buyers as well. Heck I love a good sale! However something require cash.
The other part to this lesson is that I will spend money on training and courses to further my knowledge. I love to buy books that teach me new and exciting materials in my quest for wealth and personal growth. I also have paid for courses and even a simple conversation with a mentor. The right knowledge from the right mouth can be the difference between success and failure. Buy what you need people. We don’t buy cheap shoes right? We don’t buy cheap toilet paper right? How much more important then are the dollars we spend to feed our minds and cleanse our souls? Lead by learning people.

-Buckminster gave it all away.
Buckminster Fuller gave all his money away. Every month he had a zero at the end and never wanted or lacked for the rest of his days. Now this is a philanthropic form but the method is the same none the less. He spent to help and gave to others without ceasing. This strategy kept the Infinite Power on his side and put his karma over the top. You see I’ve noticed a trend- when you give you get. Even in the Bible the only time God tells you to test him is with tithing. No concept besides giving can bear such fruit and release such power.
This form of spending is guaranteed to bless you.

-Spending can be your drive.
I noticed an odd trend after I got married. I started to want more my wife and I. I worked two jobs while taking college classes- my day job with kids and afterwards tutoring through a separate program. I also did extra hours escorting at risk youth from my job to and from school. Over time our debts shrank and we were able to replace an old car with a new one. Every year for five years I met the pay upgrades and procured summer work when I didn’t get it from my job. I found ways to buy everything on sale. By having a hunger for more we literally rose to a higher
standard of living. I will say though that this can be perverted and in keeping up with the jones’ you will go broke. So be smart and know the difference between motivation and greed.

Quick recap:
-Lead by learning.
-Some things, like education (and toilet paper) are worth the money. So don’t cut corners.
-Give until you can’t. And you will always get.
-Wanting more can fuel your abilities.

LOVE YOU or HATE ME

17 Jun

Love you or hate me.
So I’m going to keep it brief and reiterate some previous concepts – sort of.
What are you looking for?
Are you trashing the boss at water cooler, but you keep doing the overtime?
You talk about being the king, but won’t fight for the kingdom?
Great! Nice! Been there. Done that.
Truth be told I’m barely free from my self-imposed slavery.
And without further ado:

-What are you looking for?
Do you really want to be your own boss or just like to say it because, hey its the American Dream? No problem if its not for you. Many people don’t know what they want and that’s fine. However, don’t lie to yourself. Honesty is not overrated. And when you lie to yourself you kill your dreams, your esteem, and your ability to conquer the world around you.
If you like being a worker or a ceo or manager at someone else’s company that’s just fine. There is a position for everyone in the world. Someone has to change tires. Someone has to cook. And there is honor in an honest days work. So tell yourself the truth everyday and make the best of everyday.

-Do you simply talk the talk or do you walk it too? This is a big one. A lot of weekend warriors and armchair investors will hate me now- you’re phonies. Sorry its true. Let me explain. A lot of people do what they can with what they have. And that’s fine. You’re making do congrats. I don’t applaud you. Its one thing to save money and make a project to bond with your son and teach him the family craft. Its another to pretend to be your own man to have some nifty stories to tell and puff up your chest with. Sorry its true. You pour over the wall street journal daily and every now and then you make a “savvy” investment. Cool. After the buy and sell commissions, the other miscellaneous fees, oh and those pesky taxes you MUST pay- you made zilch. Thanks jack but what you don’t see is that what you do with your ten hours pretending is nothing. And the reason is:
IT’S NOT YOUR PRIORITY.
Point. Blank. Period. Right now your priority is your JOB. You get up on time. Arrive on time. Call out seldom, and speak the corporate jargon. You tow the line. And you do it well. And there in lies your failure.
When you don’t live, breath, eat and sleep your dreams you have already lost.
When your job is #1 because it pays the bills you have become a slave.
You pay the bills.
You make it happen.
You are the one being your best. You simply are putting your effort in the wrong basket.

-How do we fix this?
Stop living for a paycheck and start working for YOUR DREAM. Get your mind wrapped around the fact that if you don’t build your dreams now you will build THEIRS FOREVER. What do you really want. Will you love you and hate me for telling you the TRUTH? Or will you commit to getting your life on track here and now. Let’s build the momentum that guarantees success. Tap into my knowledge.
Tap into THE Infinite.
Tap into your fears.
Use your fears to move you to the life you need. Your fears can sink you or build you up. Timing is everything and It, is time.

Procrastinate, it helps.

16 Jun

Procrastinate it helps.
No seriously. Waste more time. Sounds nuts? Let’s examine that for a second. Do you still pay bills and balance your check book at the dinner table? With paper pencil and the proverbial checkbook? Are you still using stamps? So every month you waste time, about two hours being the well trained quasi accountant. Its 2012 people. Most banks have free auto pay. This let’s you preset or arrange your bill payments as your income is received. So you save time. You same money on stamps. You save money on overdraft fees and late payments. Sounds like a win win because it is. Time is now returned to you and cash flow.
Going to the gym five times a week? Working on that hard earned, super cut physique? Congrats. And you’re losing if you spend two to three hours daily doing so. Your body needs focused precise methodical steps. It doesn’t need long hours. After you pass a certain time threshold your body enters what I like to call the cortisol arena and you essentially help yourself create fat and or keep it. (More info on this? See wiki. You know you wiki). So to recap you work so hard to be Adonis you become the cow. Nice. Wouldn’t properly ordered and executed workouts that systematically build on your earlier efforts work better? Of course. So let’s leave the old school and hit books. You can do more in seventy minutes than you can in two hours. Breakout the stop watch and check the net. Or simply pay a trainer for five sessions. Learn the routine the right way because time is money.
Enjoying that history channel? CNN, you’re so informed. MMA. You’re the tough guy, I concede. Diy- nice! You’re building a Gazebo! And in the twenty hours you spend watching these shows could make you better. If you spent those twenty hours working at Kmart you could use those funds to make a dent in your school loans. Lowered debt and saved interest payments means you are debt free faster and breathing easy. Or maybe you take that meager check and apply it to the mortgage to be applied to the principal. Now you have dented your debt burden using the same strategy that is employed against you simply in reverse. One hundred dollars a month will take five to eight years off your mortgage. FACT. Ready for that retirement sooner now I bet. So don’t watch the diy guy who built his business. Mind yours. That basement apartment idea he shows, cool. But in this economy it goes to the kids who are the recession victims as they will have student loans and low to no employment. Don’t watch him build dream homes. Build your dream life. Cutting these simple steps out means you have upwards of forty hours a month to get your business off the ground. Work. And then build a future with no bosses. No meager forced ERISA 401ks. Build a dream that you own. That is your way. That feeds minds or whole towns. Only step left is to commit. Are you with me?

Liftport.com is amazing!

Liftport.com is amazing.

While not functional, the concept is amazing.  An elevator to space!
From their Empire Avenue profile:

Biography

LiftPort Group is in V2.0.

I started working on the Space Elevator in 2001, as part of a NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts team. In 2003, I created LiftPort to pursue – commercially – the development of an Elevator to Space. In 2007, when the ecomony melted down, our company failed. This year, we are reforming and rebuilding – join us in this adventure!

Some people are surprised when I talk about building a for-profit company around this project. But the reasoning is quite sound – we don’t yet know if an Elevator can be built.

BUT – the technology development in the process of learning – is very valuable: robotics, nanotech, communications. So this is our plan, to commercially develop the components, and along the way discover techniques and eventually build an Elevator to the Sky!

Wanna learn more? Follow me @mlaine or email laine (at) LiftPort (.) com”
So why am I enthralled by this?  Simple
This company is trying to pass the status quo.
First they are trying to get where no one is going before anyone gets there.  this is a valuable business lesson.  Most people want the money and the freedom but that is where the dream ends.  They forget the work.  The planning.  And the rest is smoke and mirrors.  Maybe they get the Cadillac, and the house but they are usually over-leveraged. See people will buy their today’s with their tomorrows.  And the plan is faulty.  this company is playing their hand well.  By being first you get a tremendous advantage.  You not only set a precedent but you reap the rewards and profits.  You never want to be last to the party. 
Second they are not only trailblazing but they are looking where no one will.  By attempting the impossible they have created lucrative patents and copyrights.  these ancillary benefits weren’t there until they aimed for the impossible. Whats amazing is that profit can now be derived where none was even imagined.
Are you doing this in your ventures?
Are you literally aiming for the stars or just talking a good game?
