Wealth Creation In The 21st Century

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

Times have changed, an obvious statement you might say.

We are at a time in man’s history that is like no other. We are at a time that brings all a level playing field. We are in the information age and it is just in its infancy. Never has there been a time in which it was easier (or should I say simpler) to create real and lasting wealth.

Not since the Great Depression have so many millionaires been made (Yes, the time of the depression made the most millionaires in history) and the number of millionaires is growing at a staggering rate every day. The good news is it is not too late to learn the skills required to create wealth in the 21st Century.

The days of working in a factory or in manual labour jobs are coming to an end, and for those lucky enough to have a head start on the rest of the crowd, you are indeed in a fortunate position. No longer is being born into wealth the only way to get ahead, and with the right resources, you will surely be able to create the life that you truly deserve.

So how does one create wealth in the 21st Century you may ask. Some of the strategies have not changed, but the access to the information of these strategies allows anyone to grasp investing like the wealthy have been doing for hundreds of years. The practice of the rich keeping the strategies to themselves is over, and there are people who are willing to show anyone who will listen how to take control of their financial future and get what they want out of life.

In this age we are able to be shown amazing wealth creation strategies in the share market, and property investing methods that are so simple a teenager can do them. The information is out there, you just have to be ready to receive it.

Of course the biggest change going on today, is the Internet. This is now being described as the Real Estate of the future. Every day more and more millionaires and billionairs are being made through the Internet. If we are to survive and flourish in the future, it is imperitive that you grasp hold of the way to do business on the Internet. If you are new to business, learn as much as you can and get online. If you are alreadt in business offline, bring it online.

In order to achieve anything successful in life, you must invest in yourself, and you must invest in your future. Go and do a course and continually improve yourself. Go and find a mentor, and model yourself on them. Whatever you do, you must take action and do something. Do not just sit there in your mind numbing job and think that you can hang out till your 65, as those days are going fast.

As far as I know we only live once and time is running out for us. Learn the skills necessary to be able to rely on yourself so you can have a great future, in every way possible. Learn the skills that allow you to quit that job which you hate and get out there and live. Don’t get to 80 years of age and look back on your life with regret.

You know you owe it to yourself, and if you have a family, then you owe it to them as well.

Your Wealth Creation Arsenal: The 7 Reasons Why Real Estate Is Your Essential Tool

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Real estate (both residential and commercial property) is perhaps the best way for the average person to generate wealth. There are many reasons why real estate is such a brilliant way to fast-track your wealth plan and why it’s so popular with those who want to become wealthy or are already wealthy. The key ones are:

1. Income and capital gain
2. Financial leverage
3. Low volatility
4. Below-market purchases
5. Add value
6. Ability to extract cash that is tax-deferred
7. Simple

Let’s look at each of these advantages.

Income and capital gain:
Real estate offers investors the ability to gain on both income and price appreciation. Income comes in the form of rentals and investors’ benefit from rental increases over times, which are usually in line with inflation or wage growth. This means that those who hold properties over the long term can experience significant increases in the income their properties produce, while mortgage payments remain constant.

Investors also benefit from the capital growth in the value of their properties over time, while their mortgage either stays the same (interest only) or reduces (repayment mortgage). This is usually a slow, constant growth rate that reflects increasing demand due to inflation and population growth. One of the wonderful things about capital growth is that it’s unrealized income and as such you don’t pay tax on it until you realize it…i.e. sell your property.

Financial leverage:

Financial Leverage, also known as gearing, allows you to control assets far beyond and much earlier than by using your own money. Real estate is quite unique in that those with money, namely banks, are more than willing to lend you their money for property investment. Turn on the TV, open up a magazine or walk down a main street, and you’ll see ad after ad for financial institutions offering to loan you money for a home loan. When compared to all other asset classes, property stands alone. Why? Because banks consider property a low-risk asset.

The key benefit of gearing is that for every dollar you invest you control more assets…assets that are paying an income and growing in capital value.

Let’s say you’ve managed to save $15,000 and you wanted to compare stocks and property as two investment alternatives to see how they stacked up. Well, for stocks your $15,000 would buy $15,000 worth of stocks as gearing is both difficult and fairly risky. For real estate however, it’s quite simple to get 85% leverage on residential property, which would allow you to purchase a property worth $100,000.

Assuming that both stocks and property increase in value by 5% per year and the income from your property covers all your interest costs and running expenses (which it should if you’ve positively geared), how do they compare?

Both stocks and property have produced the same return on the invested capital. i.e. 5%. However, this does not represent the return that you receive on the cash you’ve invested. The return on your cash using stocks is still 5% as there is no gearing, but your return on your real estate is actually 33%. This is why a direct comparison of returns between stocks and real estate is totally pointless. You need to take into account the effects of gearing. Financial leverage is one of the key reasons why using property is so powerful since you can use OPM to multiply and fast-track your wealth plan.

Low volatility:

Volatility is generally considered the normal measure of risk. The wealthy do not agree entirely with this assessment of risk, but for the purposes of this analysis well stick with this version of risk (for the wealth creation view of risk visit the Risk category). If you were to compare the market index like the Dow, S&P, FTSE, All Ords, etc against property indexes over similar periods, property is far less volatile. But this hides the real truth…Firstly, what is the likelihood that an individual stock or property will follow their respective indexes? In the case of stocks, who knows! The average return of a market doesn’t tell you anything about a particular stock’s movement. Some individual stocks go up, while others go down. Compare this with property. If average prices of property have risen 5% over a year, it’s pretty likely that an individual property will move fairly close to this average.

Secondly, prices in stocks can move every second the market is open. Again, compared to property, the prices tend to change far more gradually and consistently over time.

Below-market purchases:

Real estate is an incredible wealth building tool because it can be purchased below its market value. It’s just not possible to buy below market value when you deal in bonds, stocks or commodities. There’s just one market price.However, with real estate there will always be desperate sellers willing to sell their properties below market value. Why? The most popular reasons are:

* Need to sell quickly due to divorce or financial strain
* Tired and frustrated of the sales process
* Don’t want the hassle involved in dealing with real estate agents and showing lots of people through their home
* Prior sale falling through
* Selling privately and lack of knowledge of their property’s true value.

Add value:

Too many people walk into a property and are turned off by superficial problems. However, all often the problems are quite superficial and can be easily fixed resulting in enormous value and profit. You can visit your local paint shop and repaint the place or put in new carpet or wood flooring, replace the bathroom or kitchen, put in new lights and switches, clean and mow the yard, or any number of other things that will add far more value than the cost of the improvement. Property is quite unique in this regard. With stocks, mutual funds, commodities or bonds, it simply isn’t possible to add any value to your purchase.

Ability to extract cash that is tax-deferred:

When a property increases in price, it’s quite simple to re-mortgage the property and extract cash out of it to buy more assets to build your wealth. You don’t pay tax on the money you’ve released because it’s a loan (not income) and the interest on the loan is tax-deductible as long as it’s spent on buying assets.

It’s a common misconception that this is tax-free income. It’s not tax-free but, rather, tax-deferred until you sell the property. If you don’t sell, there’s no tax to pay.

Releasing cash tax deferred is one of the most effective ways to build wealth quickly and efficiently. Thousands can turn into hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands into millions in a very short space of time. For example, if property were to double every 5 years and you had $15,000 in cash, then with 85% loan to value loans you could turn it into nearly $7 million in equity on a $45 million portfolio after just 15 years.

Simple:

Assessing and buying real estate isn’t complex. We all know what makes a good residential property and what looks in need of some attention. Of course, things like structural surveys, etc. are for experts, but that’s just a matter of hiring a surveyor. Local agents can give you the low down on what’s in demand and what’s not. Anyone can tell if a property is desirable to live in and as they say “practice makes perfect.” With practice you’ll begin to find not only the best properties to rent but also the ones that are being offered below market value.

Hopefully you’ll agree that these 7 reasons make property one of, if not the, best method for the average person to generate enormous wealth

No 1 Rule of Wealth Creation

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

The number one rule of wealth creation must be “Pay Yourself First”.

What do I mean by that, simply whatever you earn per month you take out a minimum of 10% and put it into your savings account or your investment account; you live and pay your bills with what you have left. You PAY YOURSELF FIRST

I know, I know, I can hear you say “How can I do that, it’s taking me all my time to keep my head above water as it is”.

Well what you must do is sit down and have an honest look at what you are spending your money on.

Put a basic profit and loss sheet together and at this stage it does not need to be complicated. Very few people do this.

The budget plan poor people work to, works like this.

Go out and earn as much money as you can, pay the bills, spend the rest, because that is how much it costs to live. This plan and way of working will only keep you working hand to mouth and keep you on the treadmill until you die.

So pick up the pen and paper and let’s have a look.

On the left-hand side of the paper write down your monthly income. That is everything that is coming into the household, your salary, your spouse’s salary and any other form of income.

I don’t want to hear “I don’t know it varies every month” Work a monthly average out or work to your basic rate.

On the right-hand side of the paper write down everything that you are paying out per month, make a full list.

I don’t want to hear “I don’t know some things we pay for quarterly” work out how much you are paying a year and divide it by twelve. O.K. To be solvent your left hand total should be higher than your right hand total.

If you’re right hand total is higher than your left hand total subtract the left hand from the right hand total and this will show you how much you are running in to debt each month.

For some this little exercise is an eye opener of how our spending can get out of control and slip through the net if not kept a check on. But let’s go back to this paying your self first.

Wealth can only be created by not consuming, so we need to stop spending and create the habit of saving. Therefore you need to look at your right hand column to see where you can stop consuming.

To be successful at this you must have an honest desire to create your own wealth and the determination and discipline to change your lifestyle so it’s imperative you know what you want and why you are doing this.

Be honest with yourself, where can you cut back?

On a £20,000 per annum net income you will need to be paying yourself £2,000 per year. That is £166.67 per month.

Where is that going to come from? So let’s look at some of the most common areas of our uncontrolled consumerism.

If you spend £5 a day on cigarettes (only poor people smoke) that’s £35 a week, or £140 a month.

If you drink on average of two pints of beer a day at an average cost of £2.60 a pint this is £36.40 a week or £145.60 a month.

Two bottles of wine a week could cost on average £12 a week or £48 a month.

Have an honest look at fuel consumption for your vehicle, could you not use it so much, could you walk more, this would keep you healthier, could you make a deal with someone to share the costs of running too and from work.

Have a look at the food bill, can you cut costs or get better value for your money by not buying conveniences, sweets and junk food.

Take a look at your utilities; switch off the lights and electronic equipment when on standby, cut back on water and gas usage.

Nowadays you won’t be looked at as being a miser or skinflint but a global friendly eco warrior.

What I am saying here and I think you will agree, with a little bit of thought and effort you can change your habits and lifestyle in small ways to find that 10% you need to start the ball rolling.

Take an honest look at the No 1 Rule of Wealth Creation “Pay Yourself First” and you will soon see how to turn these small gains into massive wealth creation.

Wealth Creation Traps: The Appearance Of Money

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

A number of common traps keep the middle-class from maximizing their money-making potentials and succeeding in wealth creation. Among the most common wealth creation trap of the middle class is the “appearance of money”.

What Is the Appearance Of Money?

The appearance of money, as might already have been guessed, is simply the need to buy and to have so that one looks like he or she (or they) have money. It grows out of the need to keep up with the neighbors, to be accepted, to live the way and have the things that they feel society says they should.

It is easy for the middle class to have the appearance of having money. Easy credit, bank loans, mortgages, car and automobile loans, all are designed to give the middle class the appearance they need; and to indebt the middle class to the banking institutions in the meanwhile. By playing on the psychology of the middle class, the banks create an everlasting cash flow for themselves. A cash flow that, although the middle class willing subjects themselves to, is at the expense of the middle class, at the expense of the middle class’s financial success.

As long as the focus of life is on appearing wealthy, the focus is not appropriately placed on making money. But the only real way to be wealthy is to make money, create wealth, and achieve lasting financial success.

Don’t The Wealthy Present The Appearance Of Money, Too?

It is a fallacy myth, that the rich struggle to keep up and appear wealthy. The wealthy present the appearance of money because they actually have money. It is not an appearance, it is their reality!

The reason that the wealthy have money is because they have properly placed their priorities. The wealthy shun status and focus on the real goal, financial freedom, and work to achieve it. Once they have, the wealthy are able to buy what they want and live the life they want to because they have the financial backing to do so.

The real difference between those who succeed in wealth creation and those who fail is based in a very large part in the goals set in the beginning.

- The middle class (referring to those unable to move beyond a work-for-pay lifestyle) focus on getting and having things.

- The wealthy focus on having money so that they can have things.

As Jamie McIntyre if the 21st Century Academy says, “Many people get caught up in appearing to be wealthy, instead of becoming wealthy.” It is an unfortunate truth, but not one that is without hope of changing.

Just as appearing to be wealthy is a mindset a psychology, so, too, is being wealthy. The choice can just as easily be made to really be wealthy as it can be to look wealthy. Making that choice, and re-prioritizing, is one of the first critical steps towards wealth creation and towards really financing the life of the wealthy.

The Kept Secret of Wealth Creation

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

     It’s fascinating how the word wealth has different meaning to different people. For lots of people, wealth represent greed and exploitation while for very few people it is a power to create a meaningful life and a comfortable living. The interesting thing about people with the wrong concept of wealth is that this same wealth is what they spent their lives pursuing. Lets us define the meaning of the word wealth. The word wealth simply means abundance. This world was created with abundance of all things that man will forever need. The key to wealth creation is finding a way to connect to the bountifulness of all things that already is

    One major hindrance to wealth creation is the mind set of scarcity. The world is created with bountiful supply of all things but unfortunately somewhere along the line, majority of people have come to believe that there are not enough to go round. And to some people their hold back to enjoying wealth is that they don’t think they are entitle to abundance and that having ‘excess’ is a bad thing. Life is abundant in every way. The belief that there is scarcity is what creates the experience of scarcity for so many people. The secret of creating wealth is to realize that what you want is already available to you.  

    People are looking everywhere for the master key to creating wealth but sadly they are looking in the wrong places. The real resources are within you. The wealth you can see first within you through your mind, you will never experience no matter what you do. Wealth is not something you get but something you connect to. Listen to me, right now everything you need is already available to you. All you will ever need and beyond is already around you. All that is require of you is to change your wrong belief system about wealth and start creating wealth.

    When you change your mindset from the belief of scarcity to abundance, you start connecting to prosperity and possibilities that are around you all the time. The discovery of the fact that the real resources are resident on your inside makes the outside resources to start showing up. William James, the eminent philosopher and psychologist, once observed that “The greatest discovery of our age has been that we, by changing the inner aspects of our thinking, can change the outer aspects of our lives.”   See you at the top

The Keys To Wealth Creation

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

We are only on this earth for a short time and wealth creation can seem a real mystery. A lot of people apparently have no problem becoming wealthy but others struggle to make sense of how to get on their feet, let alone experience financial abundance.

No matter how discouraged you currently are about your financial situation, you too can become wealthy if you are willing to learn the keys to wealth creation.

The first step to wealth creation is to actually get some perspective. If you are reading this article on your own computer, you are really already wealthy. Compared to most of the world’s population, a warm comfortable home, plenty of good food and the benefits of a first world society are signs of great wealth.

Unfortunately, most of us take these things for granted and do not recognize them as wealth. Understandably, when we struggle to support ourselves from week to week we can feel poor. Certainly, when we are under financial stress it is hard to feel wealthy.

However, wealth is a state of mind. Our focus predicts the outcomes in our lives so we need to control the way we think if we want to become wealthy. For example, if you are always thinking about bills you’ll find it difficult to pay them. If you wallow in how bad your life is, you can become entrenched in poverty.

The way you think about wealth will determine whether or not you have any. It starts in your mind. The answer to poverty is abundance, so focus on all the abundance in your life right now. You will have to be disciplined to ignore mounting bills or insufficient income and focus on all the things you have to be grateful for.

With the right mindset, your world will suddenly present a host of new opportunities to choose from. All you have to do is open up to the possibilities and appreciate everything that is in your life already. Begin to pay attention to the good and you will see more good appearing in your life.

Wealth begins in the mind. You will find that your thoughts and emotions are the powerful creators of your life experiences. If you want to experience prosperity, take charge of your mind. Ask yourself better questions. Look positively at your current circumstances to find the seeds of future abundance.

Sometimes you cannot think prosperous thoughts until you get rid of unhelpful beliefs about wealth. Pay attention to the things you say to yourself about money and begin to turn negative statements around. Once you think prosperous thoughts and speak prosperous words you will be in a better position to become wealthy. Be patient with yourself and make one change at a time.

Once you have put your mind into the right gear to become wealthy, the next step is to deliberately look for opportunities to become prosperous and successful. Remember, we get what we focus on. Simply by focusing on opportunities, we will find them showing up in our lives.

Then we have to take action. Wealth doesn’t magically appear. We have to take the right action to create it. So, as well as discovering wealth creation opportunities, you need to take action to turn them into reality.

Perhaps your local community can benefit from a product or service you can sell. Alternatively, online opportunities for wealth creation abound. Whether you can sell your services online or market products, there is a vast potential to create wealth on the internet. Begin to focus on the possibilities.

Be proactive and be willing to continually make adjustments in your life to improve your financial position. Do you waste a lot of time in front of the television? How about reading up on internet marketing instead? Perhaps you could invest in your education instead of being the passive beneficiary of somebody else’s creativity while your watching “the box.”

This article doesn’t have all the answers. It is meant to be a gentle push in the right direction. If you use these ideas to start you on your journey to wealth, you will be well on your way to a more prosperous life.

Spiritual teachers say that the teacher appears when the student is ready. By being willing to change and looking for the answers all around you, you are showing that you are ready. You will find that people and opportunities will begin to appear in your life that will move you towards a more successful and abundant future.

The Best Criteria In Wealth Creation

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

While there are numerous business opportunities around, only a certain fraction of individuals finally make it. This is due to lack of appropriate wealth creation strategies in place. For you to be successful in money-making business, you need to have your mind on the objectives. This means that in the first place you need to have clear objectives if you wish to become wealthy. Setting up a strong foundation of your ventures is very important as you can not build a house with out a sound foundation.

The first step in the creation of wealth is to find an opportunity that is viable. The opportunity you chose whether it is in business or self-employment should allow you to make use of your skills and experience. Passion is also an important aspect of the whole thing as this will act as a drive for you.

Apart from the normal employment, there are also other ways to make money online through the internet. All that you will do is to choose an opportunity that you are comfortable with. It will not be a good idea to practice web design when you have no knowledge of HTML or establish a law firm when you can’t stand wearing a suit.

Once you have established your own wealth generating scheme, you will need to consider how you will invest your income. Putting all your money in a bank as savings can be a dumbest thing you would do. Although saving your money would make you feel wealthy and secure, using your income in an investment is very important. Look for a good investment that will add the value to your money. You can as well put your money in your business so as to supplement it. For instance, if you are selling out online products such as software and e-books, don’t just be comfortable, complement with solid products and services using the earning you are getting from the business. This is a very vital key to make money.

Another thing which is equally as important among wealth secrets is discipline. For you to achieve wealth you will need a great deal your discipline. When we talk of discipline, it encompasses various aspects, but most relevant being financial discipline. While you will need to acquire the basic wants using your income, it would not be wise to spend all your earnings in luxury; leaving nothing for savings nor for investments. Wealth creation requires discipline in spending. If you don’t have budgeting traits, you can consider taking an online course on financial management so as to be on the right path to wealth creation.

A successful marketer, Patrick Adams with 20 years of experience has introduced a website http://www.KeyOfWealth.com, where Wealth systems provide an effective key to set-up your perfect future. With the current economic problems that the world is facing, you need wealth creation strategies to improve your income.

Real Estate Investing Can Be The Key In Wealth Creation

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

More certain than ever most investors realize the easiest and most accessible plan for fulfilling financial goals and dreams is in real estate investing. In fact, real estate investing is the simplest and most available way to build a true wealth creation system. What do I mean by “a true wealth creation system”? In wealth creation following a system is a simple, repeatable process that produces long-term passive income in order to provide you with all of the money and time you want and need in life. True wealth is not having an abundance of money. True wealth is controlling a system that produces a constant flow of abundant money. It’s often said that the key to wealth isn’t cash – its cash flow. In other words, the key to wealth is controlling a system that produces a constant and consistent supply of money. The key to acquiring wealth really lies in acquiring assets that produce wealth.

The key in wealth creation system is three essential, non-negotiable elements. In order for a financial system to create true wealth it must include a step-by-step plan to acquire capital, or more simply put – cash. It must also include the development of solid and healthy financial habits. Finally, a wealth creation system must include an easy-to-follow plan to acquire income-producing assets, or again more simply put – cash flow.

Let’s illustrate how investing in real estate can function as your personal wealth creation system. Quick Cash investing, where a regular house is purchased at a wholesale price and then resold at a retail price is the way that hundreds of beginning investors have made big money and gotten themselves started on the path to wealth creation. Quick Cash has given them the influx of money they needed in order to clear up old debt and other financial issues.

After getting their hands on capital through Quick Cash investing and developing healthy money habits, many investors have gone on to purchase Cash Flow real estate. Cash Flow investing is when a property is acquired for wholesale terms and then remarketed using a wrap strategy. The spread (the difference between the underlying mortgage payment and the payment your occupants pay you to live in the house) provides you with a steady stream of passive income, which ultimately results in true wealth. Real Estate investors have used Cash Flow real estate properties to develop a healthy passive income that they don’t have to work for to receive. This simple strategy – using Quick Cash real estate investing to acquire capital, using that capital to clear up debt and establish healthy financial practices, and finally using that capital to purchase cash flow producing real estate assets – is a strategy that you truly can use to build your own wealth creation system.

Don’t wait. Get educated about the techniques and strategies that you can use to become an active and successful real estate investor, and start building a successful in wealth creation system for you today!

Eyes On The Right Wealth Creation Prize

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Successful wealth creating depends on a balance between mindset and financial strategy. Understanding and accepting this determines the success of an individual’s efforts at wealth creation; to determine whether you have the right mindset to succeed and create wealth, take this simple test, devised by Jamie McIntyre of the 21st Century Academy:

- Suppose you were given a choice between being given $1 million dollars, and being given a wealth creation education. Which would you choose?

It seems fairly obvious that the majority of people would instantly choose the $1 million in cold, hard cash. And that majority would also think that all their financial problems were solved. Really, you could do a lot with a cool, easy million.

Would A Million Dollars Really Solve Your Financial Problems?

Honestly, you could do a lot with a million dollars. If you knew what to do with it to make that million last a lifetime. But really, how long does a million dollars last these days? How many years would it take you to spend a million dollars, assuming no investments and no change to your current lifestyle, if you were given a million dollars cash free and clear? How much of that million would go right to paying off your debt? How much would you be left with?

Even if you took that million dollars and did nothing but pay the bills you have, you’d be out of money in a matter of years; long before the end of your life. Chances are you’d even find yourself worse off in the end than you are today.

Sound unrealistic? Consider this

- A study of Australian lottery winners showed that of those who win a million dollars, most are worse off in a period of three to seven years.

Why? Because they have nothing but a lifetime of financial reaction to guide them. They have no money skills, and no mindset to guide their efforts at spending and investing, no commitment to financial success!

Now, given a wealth creation education, people are far more likely to succeed. Had that million dollars been paired with the knowledge and mindset to succeed financially, that money could have been invested and turned into more money, money virtually out of thin air!

The point of this exercise is to show that the solution to financial struggle is not money in and of itself. The solution to financial struggle is an effective financial education, a wealth creation education.

What Is A Wealth Creation Education

A wealth creation education consists of two parts.

1. Lessons in developing the mindset for financial success

2. Lessons in financial strategy, how to make money work to make more money

Together, these two parts make up 100% of the whole necessary to achieve financial freedom for life.

To go back to the original exercise, let’s suppose that this education were chosen over the million dollars. What then?

In that instance (assuming a true commitment to wealth creation), the outcome is far different. Even starting with seemingly nothing, the individual learns to create wealth by utilizing the various money systems and financial strategies of the world. In three to seven years, the wealth creation student is retired (or working only because he or she wants to). In three to seven years, when the lottery winner is struggling more than ever financially, the wealth creation student is letting his/her money work for him, rather than the forcing himself to work for more and more money.

The Wealth Creation Prize

Faced with these realities, it becomes obvious that the real wealth creation prize is the wealth creation education. With a wealth creation education, the possibilities are limitless, and wealth continues to build.

Money comes and goes, as the wealth creation student understands; where one income stream ends, another can surely begin; and while a million dollars can only get you so far, a million and a wealth creation education can take you on for life.
