Simple Asset Allocation, Wealth-Building Strategies - Build Wealth Quickly

By Frank Miller


The internet offers two things a possibility of wealth and a possibility of victimization. In our quest to obtain the freedom we want to enjoy. The freedom to live our lives as old blues eyes use to say "My Way" is a road filled with obstacles and detours. It is an undeniable fact that more people lose money in striving to reach instant wealth. This does not pertain to only the internet it pertains to all the ways people build their business.

Wealth building starts with financial planning and financial planning begins with goal setting. Without a solid focus and a list of goals, you will never be able to accomplish what you'd like. The first step to wealth building is to come up with a list of goals and set priorities for each goal. You'll still be able to reach your most important goals if something unexpected happens. Goals should be very specific and quantified in numbers if possible.

To help you get started, a basic overview of the paper assets investment landscape goes like this: There are 2 types of investments; ownership investments in which you own part of the asset (a stock is a good example) and loan investments in which you lend money to someone and they pay you interest (a bond is a good example). In many cases, you are looking for growth investments and those are ownership-type investments. (Bonds rarely provide a way to make you wealthy. Rather, they are a way to protect your wealth once you have it). Warren Buffett is a great example of someone who created massive wealth through investing in paper assets.

Real estate is another great way to build wealth. With real estate, you typically buy a property and then make money through selling it eventually for a much higher value than its purchase price and/or becoming a landlord and letting the property. One of the advantages of real estate investing is using the principle of leverage (i.e. a mortgage) to buy an asset that you otherwise couldn't afford. Leverage isn't commonly available in paper assets investing (although you can buy on margin but this can be risky if you don't know what you're doing!).

The success of many businesses is created through longevity. That is an undeniable fact. Any company to be on the top rung of the ladder has brought itself there through persistence and planning. Success is not luck. You have heard over and over again, build a business that is the road to wealth and independence. Let me mention something here. There are those who have made a living at victimizing you and then telling you, the failure is you not the business. The truth is that your failure may be part of it, the other most likely is the lack of support or the "lies' you are being fed. Most of these guru's in marketing did not make their fortunes overnight. It took some time and a lot of thought, into their campaigns and promotions. Most of them are based on how they can take advantage of you. More on this later. Wealth building is a process, it starts with you. You can start on a shoe string or have enough financing to get a large leap into the business you have chosen. The other part of the wealth building process is the management of income that is earned by your efforts. This revenue should do 2 things, one is for paying your basic business expenses and the other is for building the wealth portion of your life. This is inclusive of obtaining income producing long term equity assets such as real estate, oil leases other business investments. There are two other considerations, your current lifestyle and the overall marketing and business strategies.

Once you have a goal, created a plan, and disciplined to execute the plan, the strategies and the techniques you learned from wealth building seminars or real estate investment seminars would take the course of your wealth building further. You can learn what to avoid and what to try out. You'll exchange the ideas with the people who are on the same journey, and share the frustration and your joy with those who've achieved their goals.
