Do wealthy people do things differently than those that are not wealthy? What one thing do nearly all of them have in common?

Is it something that can be learned? If so, would you like to learn how to do it if you could?

Well, I will give you a hint on the first question, heck, I will just plain give it to you.

If you look at Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Richard Branson, Gene Simmons, Donald Trump, and Andrew Anderson, they all own their own business and point in fact, they all own several of them.

With owning their own businesses being the common denominator with the vast majority of the wealthiest people in the world, why is it when we talk about investing that we don’t immediately talk about the one vehicle more people use to become wealthy than any other first?

Think about it. Ask most people about investing and the first thing that comes to mind is stocks, mutual funds, or perhaps real estate. The later falls into the owning your own business category but the others definitely do not. (more…)

Well, what a group of names that is and what does it have to do with Investing? Quite a bit actually, and for those of you that do watch TV, you would undoubtedly recognize this cast of characters from “Celebrity Apprentice”.

my favorite of the bunch Gene Simmons got knocked out early because he chose to stick to his ethics rather than agreeing with some execs of Kodak and not acquiescing with Donald Trump’s not so subtle hints about bringing back in Nely Galán with him so Donald could fire her. (more…)
