Warren Buffett Quotes

"A public-opinion poll is no substitute for thought."
 "I always knew I was going to be rich. I don’t think I ever doubted it for a minute. "
"I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over."
"I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years."
 "If a business does well, the stock eventually follows."
"If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians."
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently."




Professionalism

Pay attention to the things you do and say. Even when just writing a short email to some one try to use proper grammar. Your first impression of someone is very important. If you get an email from someone throwing you a pitch for their investment and they use bad grammar and spell every other word wrong you would probably question their legitimacy and question their intelligence. So just be aware of what stuff you put out there because it can always come back at you and might hurt you in future business deals. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to write me.

Sales

An important skill to learn if you are going to be successful is sales and marketing. Even if you don't think you have a product to sell you really do.. Yourself. Its always to good to get out there and make yourself known among the community. You need to make a name for yourself so people will trust and believe in your products or whatever it is you are trying to do. You can't just yell "look at me!" though you would sound obnoxious. You have to find people who would actually be interested in what you would offer and advertise it to them. Be it a lunch meeting or what have you. It is always best to be open  honest and well prepared when presenting an idea to your future clients because then you will make a good name for yourself and have people that will now trust you and help you with your future plans and ideas. If your product is of value, you price it fair, and have the right buyers it should essentially sell itself. If a particular item is hard to sell you are probably going to find out that that item is not with selling at all. Once again thanks for following if you have any questions or comments feel free to ask.

Thanks, Ben

Goals

An important part of being successful is actually making goals. I'm sure you have heard this many times but it actually does work. You just have to make sure that you realize every milestone you make and congratulate yourself when you hit the goal. You need to set up what you want out of your life. Think about something you really want and set up realistic goals to reach it. Write down a list of short, medium, and long term goals. Each night before bed or when you wake up make a list of 5-10 that you want and or need to accomplish that day. Then track your progress. You need to write down everything you accomplished in that day and check it off the list for your short term goals and start working toward your medium term goals. Make this a strict list so you can always be accountable to it. If you do all this and stick to it you will accomplish what you set out to do and will be very proud of yourself for what you have done. Give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for following me let me know what you think about my blog and message me if you have any questions or want me to hit on a specific topic you are struggling with

Assets vs. Liabilities

One of the main reasons people are struggling financially today is that they don’t really understand the difference between assets and liabilities and they are calling their liabilities assets. Assets are investments that put money into your hands monthly. Liabilities take money out of your hands monthly. Therefore your house and your car are not assets. Many people believe they are assets and that's how they get in trouble. Do not confuse the two

Cash Flow

Cash flow is very important and a simple topic. You need more money coming in than going out. So you would think the more money you make the richer you will be. But most of the time that's not all the way true. Doctors make a lot of money but usually they have bigger houses nicer cars and more money on credit cards meaning they have more money going out than they do going in. Plus they pay higher taxes. You want to keep the money you are taxed on as low as possible to make a living. You also need to build your assets. Meaning more monthly cash flow. You acquire assets in many ways and just depends on what you want to buy. But a main asset would be apartments or a house. The monthly income from those assets will buy you the nicer things you want in your life. You should only buy major purchases like a house or a car if you have the monthly cash flow from an asset to pay for it all. 

Learning

What I have done starting off is first payed off all my debt. Then I looked at all the avenues of investing to pick which one or few I am going to stick to. I think you are better off focusing on a few avenues rather than investing in a ton of different ones. The more you learn about a specific topic the better advantage you will have on others who aren't as experienced in it. I would advise to learn as much as you can before putting a lot of money into something. But on the job experience I believe is the best way to learn. Just go out there with the knowledge you have and money you would be willing to lose and then learn from your mistakes and also successes. An alternative way I have found to learn about investing and personal finance is a game called "CashFlow" Here is the link. CashFlow. It shows you how the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. Thank you for following I hope I can help all of you to be more successful in all ways of life. If you have any questions or topics you want me to hit on just message me and let me know.

Thanks, Ben

You can't just save your money

Many people providing financial advice will tell you to “save your money” to get ahead. While this might have been true in the past, changes made in 1971 made this no longer true. The phrase, “Savers are Losers” might sound radical, but in today’s economy, does it really make sense to save your money?

First and Foremost

First if you haven't already I would advise you to read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. This book has helped me out tremendously. You need to view money in a different way and focus on building assets and limiting your liabilities. Get rid of all your debt first then look at new opportunities to invest.
