Mind Your Own Business!

The concept of minding your own business means that while you are grinding away at your day job you need to be investing in your future and minding your own business. Pretty soon you’ll be able to walk away from that day job and mind your own business full time.
The best way to do this is through the acquisition of real estate.
Let’s take a quick look at where you are losing all your money-taxes. Taxes have been around since 1913 in the U.S. (earlier in England). While the original intention was to only tax the wealthiest of the population, obviously that’s trickled down to the masses, including those in poverty.
Now, keep in mind the more money you make the more taxes you pay. The wealthy know a way of getting around this - form a corporation. Corporations offer tax benefits and protect you from lawsuits. To learn more about this talk with one of my business coaches or your attorney/ solicitor.
We’ve all heard the golden rule of: Pay Yourself First.
But, many of us don’t do it. Until you learn and put this rule into effect, you won’t have any chance of getting out of the rat race. What this rule does is force you to come up with more income to pay your expenses.
There are some key areas of finance you should learn about, taking classes is one of the best ways to do this. Here are the basics you should learn:
Accounting
It pays to know how to read financial statements. When acquiring businesses or assets you need to quickly see the financial standing of the company you are acquiring.
Many grown adults do not know how to balance a balance sheet. In the long term, this knowledge will pay off for you and your business.
Investment Strategy
This skill will sharpen with experience. Talk to investors and observe how they play the game.
Market Behaviour
Know the laws of Supply and Demand. No business owner can do without understanding these basic principles of the market. Bill Gates saw what people needed. Open your eyes to opportunities. Look at what sells and who buys.
Law
Do everything you can to grow your business within legal boundaries. Know your corporate, state and accounting laws.
Once you know these areas of finances you can make them work for you. The rich practically invent money. You have to know where to find a great deal. Let’s continue with real estate. Look for houses in trouble or find the court in your area that handles foreclosed, police impound or other real estate situations. You can either renovate and sell or rent for residual income.
So, essentially there are two main types of investors:
- Those who buy pre-packaged investments
- Those who create their own investments
You know which are the most successful. In order to be one of those people you need to know what to look for and how to respond.
You must:
- Find a good deal other people have missed.
- Raise the capital needed for the transaction.
- Put together a svelte team to execute the plan.
There is risk involved in every acquisition. The goal is not to avoid the risk, but to respond to the risk with confidence and a steady hand.

I’m doing research for my next book based on my ability to perform a 45 minute business makeover. The framework is the fact I can find any small or medium size business a minimum of €10,000 in less than 45 minutes... without spending a cent on advertising or marketing. I plan to charge €2,000 for this service, and back that up with a written guarantee of a 10 X Return on Investment for the businesses that apply and that I hand pick.
My book will detail the process I use to find each business that money, and I plan to use the book to launch my marketing program worldwide. I'm looking for more specific case studies across industries to establish the credibility and legitimacy of the program.
If you would permit me to find you €10,000 in 45 minutes I won't charge you a cent to do it. All I do ask is you give me written permission to use your results as a case study in my book, and if you like the results I get for you, perhaps provide me with a testimonial as well.
If this is something you would consider helping me with then please email me at [email protected] and we can set up a time to speak.
