Look around at all the folks with nice houses, late
model cars in nice neighborhoods. Things are O.K., right?
On the 'surface' they sure 'seem' to
be anyway.
Look further, read the papers, check the statistics:
-
Foreclosures are at all time highs,
-
Bank debt and credit card debt loads are higher per capita
than they ever have been,
-
Free time for personal or family endeavors is all but gone
as mom & pop both work, work, work just to keep up...
-
Savings and investment rates are declining rapidly, or are
non-existent for many,
-
40% of the population in the U.S. can't even qualify for
a bank account due to credit problems,
-
Corporations are laying off by the tens of thousands due
to economic conditions, or are moving to cheaper labor offshore.
-
The U.S. Housing and Urban Development Dept. says that 80%
of all foreclosures could be prevented if the household had
an extra $200 in income!
You understand the point.... Financial security is
not easy to come by and things won't be changing for the better
anytime soon! We are quickly becoming a bi-polar world of
the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' as the comfortable middle class
is fast disappearing. Your neighbor might 'look' successful,
but saddled with high debt, an uncertain job/future, and high levels
of stress.....is he really?
How long would your lifestyle last if you lost your job tomorrow
? How has your investment and retirement fund done this past
year, with your one-dimensional, single national market approach?
You have a choice...continue on the treadmill that
you are running, and become a victim of world events, or
Take the bull by the horns, take charge of your life, and create
a plan for success and prosperity.
Large corporations are not only surviving, but thriving
by taking advantage of the competitive international marketplace.
If they can do it, why not you?
There are some simple elements required for you to have FREEDOM,
SECURITY, and INDEPENDENCE.

A Diversified Financial Portfolio:
This is essential to truly have financial independence.
Diversification is the key. Nothing does well all of
the time. Risk is everywhere. You can't avoid
it. Proper diversification is a hedge to compensate
against risk. In order to diversify, you must have 'means'
and a substantial portfolio to be able to spread around in
different vehicles. If you don't have this, you need
to build one ! The Venture Resource Group can help you
with this.

You Must Own Your Own Business
with Diversified Income Streams: Let's face
it, unless you are a highly paid corporate executive, entertainer
or sports figure, you are unlikely to get ahead working for
someone else. Even if you are well paid, how do you
feel about your own level of long term security ? Being
the master of your own business income is essential, but this
alone is not enough. Many business owners are slaves
to their business and that business may be tied 100% to a
local market or a narrow market niche. If that market
niche or local market turns or dries up, so does the business
and the investment !! You need a mobile business that
can be run anywhere, in any market worldwide, with multiple
profit centers. If one profit center dries up, you have
a better chance of making up for it with the other profit
centers. Again, diversification is key !

You Must Be Debt Free !
See #2 above.

You Must Have an Effective Tax
Management Strategy: John D. Rockefeller
had an interesting attitude. To paraphrase: "I'll
pay 10% of what I make, whether I owe it or not !"
There are a couple of important points here, 1) He knew
how to structure his personal and business affairs so that
he was not eaten alive by the taxman (you can bet, he often
did not even owe the 10% he paid!) 2) He knew
enough about business to be able to pay what he felt good
about. Your wealth will accumulate exponentially faster
when your tax bite is less. Learn how to pay what you
owe....AND NO MORE ! The WWS will help you with this.

You Must Have an Asset Protection
Plan for Estate Planning and Solid Business Management:
We live in a predatory world. With lawsuits now the
easy ticket to riches for unscrupulous plaintiffs and attorneys,
with increasing zeal among tax collectors, bureaucrats and
the courts in asset forfeiture cases, protecting what you
have is just as important as making it in the first place!!
To avoid being one of the 'have-nots' and move more
confidently into the 'haves' category, the above outline is essential
in your planning.
Let the Venture Resource Group Partnership, help you
with this.
