Eliminate fear of having no money

Eliminate desire to work for money
Forget about needing a paycheck
Dont control by fear and desire, and instead aware of these emotions and think
about it

What is missing from their education is not how to make money, but how to manage
money

The rich focus on their asset columns, while everyone else focuses on their income
statements.

Assest
� Businesses that do not require my presence I own them, but they are managed or
run by other people. If I have to work there, it�s not a business. It becomes my
job.
� Stocks
� Bonds
� Income-generating real estate
� Notes (IOUs)
� Royalties from intellectual property such as music, scripts,
and patents
� Anything else that has value, produces income or appreciates, and has a ready
market

Find ways to play around with tax

Keep your day job, be a great hardworking employee, but keep building that asset
column.

Financial IQ
- accounting (understand financial statement, see strength and weakness of a
company)
- investing
- understand market (supply and demand)
- law (tax)

The ability to sell and market is the most important specialized skill

So for most people, the reason they don�t win financially is because the pain of
losing money is far greater than the joy of being rich.
There is a big difference between hating losing and being afraid to lose.

Finding a good manager is more important to me than the real estate. A great
property manager often hears of great deals before real estate agents do, which
makes them even more valuable.

Every time I have been arrogant, I have lost money. Because when I�m arrogant, I
truly believe that what I don�t know is not important,�

Steps
1. Have a strong reason to continue
2. Invest in mind and knowledge, keep mind open, dont be arrogant
3. Find friend that you can learn from and alike mind
- brave to separate yourselve from crowd, if everyone know, then sure everyone
rich
4. Focus on management skill more than product, service, etc
- cash flow
- people
- personal time
5. Pay yourselve first, always set aside an amount for invest
- Although I pay my bills last, I set it up to have only small unimportant bills
that are due.
- Don�t get into large debt positions that you have to pay for. Keep your
expenses low.
- don't use saving to pay bill, savings is only to invest, when no money to pay
bill, think how to make more money
6. Getting something for nothing
- invest in something, then get something for free
- invest in real estate, rent it, tenant pay loan, you get properties for free
- a stock speculate to rise, put money in, the stock rise, withdraw the initial
invested money out, then the stock is generating money now, is an asset
- always look for asset we get once we get the money back
7. Luxury
- poor people focus on borrowing money to get the things we want instead of
focusing on creating money.
8. Find a role model and learn/mimick/copy them
- read about them, understand how they think

�Am I building a pipeline or hauling buckets?�

�Am I working hard, or am I working smart?�

Three main asset class

- real estate
- paper asset
- business

---------------------------
Mind

The biggest challenge you have is to challenge your own self-doubt

and your laziness.

�If you find yourself arguing with a good idea, you may
want to stop arguing.�
Find your "Why" to get rich, if it is strong enough, then eventually you will find
your ways to become rich

** Must be prepare to fail before begin anything **

- must have a backup plan if fail

Saying something is risky may also be saying, �I�m just too lazy to study the
subject.�

Begin to see yourself in a world or reality where you will never ever need a
paycheck or job again.

Have a correct mindset - eliminate negative words

Have money work for you, dont work for money/paycheck

Set your priorities correct, you may have to sacrifice a bit of comfort to be rich
1. rich
2. comfort
3. security

Dont worrry too much, instead solve those problems, most of the time things that we
worry might never happen

History does repeat itself. Yet people want to believe that this time, things will
be different.

It is ok to compare a bit, but the real objective of this process is for you to
become a better and more educated investor

Dont afraid of mistake, get through it positively and start again, pick up the
lesson from the mistake
-----------------------
Plan

Investing means different to everyone

- everyone has it own preferences and like
- type of investment (bond, real estate, gold)
- procedure (dat rade, buy and hold, trade)
- everyone is different, so it cause confusion
* So we have to be open minded, to receive different view

Investment product = investment vehicle

- take you from one place to another finacially
- might be slow (bond) or fast (equity)

Trading != Investing
- Investing is a plan that lay out every procedure and destinations
- Trading is just a technique or a part of the plan(investing)
- trading is like buy and sell stock

Dont get too attached to a single investment product, be open

Establish a simple plan and strategy that works, and keep doing it
- investing is not full of excitement, it is mechanical and simple plan

Mechanical plan out perform experience, intutive, common sense decision

A simple plan is always better than a complex one

�The path to achieving investment success is to study long-term results and find a
strategy or group of strategies that make sense. Then stay on the path.� He also
states, �We must look at how well strategies, not stocks, perform.�

Don't predict/speculate the market, instead prepare for whatever thing that might
happen

True investor is prepared for whatever happens. A non-investor tries to predict

what and
when things will happen.

Money is not worth more than asset

Asset > money

Use insurance to secure investment

--------------------------------------

Need a plan, to be fiancially comfortable and secure *

Financial plan
- find financial advisor

Realistic goal

Assemble your financial team (not every is needed)

1. Financial planner
2. Banker
3. Accountant
4. Lawyer
5. Broker
6. Bookkeeper
7. Insurance agent
8. Successful mentor

Make a plan to achieve BASIC financial security

Make a plan to achieve fiancial comfortable (what you want, some luxury)
Make a plan to achieve rich
- all three plan is needed
- to achieve secure, you need plan 1 (secure)
- to achieve comfort, you need plan 1 (secure) and 2 (confort)
- to achieve rich, need all three
- by doing so you will understand yourselve more, you will know to how much you
will feel ocmfortable and not spending too much and being too save
- the difference between these 3 plan is time, the time you need to invest in the
plan to research etc..
- before go into rich plan, first have to achieve and make sure secure and comfort
plan at track first
- then only proceed to rich plan
- secure and comfort plan should be simple, mechanic (such as place in a fund which
managed by a manager)

--------------------------------------
How

Learn to read financial statement - fundamental analysis

- current price is not as important as that
- learn relationship between balance sheet and income sheet
- relationshio between two balance sheet (your liability(mortage) is bank's asset)

--------------------------------------

** Cash Flow **

* Leverage *

Leverage can be in different form

- cash for borrowing money from bank, money borrowed used for invest
- leverage can be good or bad with you, use wisely
- good debt vs bad debt
- leverage using good debt
- good debt will generate cash flow to you, put money into your pocket

Three paths to great wealth, which are:

� Increasing business skills
� Increasing money-management skills
� Increasing investments

Convert earned income into portfolio income or passive income as efficiently as

possible

** risk and reward ratio

- when reward is big enough to cover your risk
- decrease your risk to success
- loser's strategy is to expect winnning every time
- dont afraid to fail, plan that without consider failing is not a good plan
- return of investment (get the initial capital back) is more important than return
on investment

3 type of income
- ordinary (paycheck, commission, highest taxed)
- portfolio (bond, mutual fond, retirement plan, 2nd highest taxed)
- passive (real estate)

Change your reality

- avoid negative word(I can't afford this, i tried that before and it wont works,
it is impossible)
- almost expand your reality and capacity
- open minded with great skills to turn impossible to possible

Rich people design their plan to be ready for an opportunity that is not here yet.
That is why it is important to be in the present, in sync with the times, and
gazing into the future.

Must be prepared for the opportunities of the future. If you are not, you will
invest in the investments of the past, and investments of the past often have no
future.

�Your profit is made when you buy, not when you sell.� *****
Every property we bought had to have a positive cash flow on the day we bought it,
and it had to have a
positive cash flow even in a bad economy. (means can rent the house and can cover
the mortage)

We were investors when we were willing to buy and hold the properties for their
cash flow.
We were traders when we knew our entry as well as our exit strategy.
An investor buys to hold. A trader buys to sell.
An investor usually wants cash flow from the asset.
The trader wants to realize a capital gain from buying low and selling high.
- know the difference of both and learn how to be both

Determine money velocity by determine the duration it need to double our investment
- 72 / interest rate per annum = duration it took to double

Ratio of 10 investment
- 2 to be great
- 2 to lost money
- other 6 not going anywhere (can sell it to put money on other deal)

90/10 rules, 10% of people own 90% of stocks worldwide, richest person in the world
- if you want to be in the 10%, do exactly opposite of what most others are doing

To be come sophisticated investor

- Experience
- Education
- Excessive cash

Security aim to help to secure your money, and not definitely is an asset
- security can lose money as well, then it will be a liability

Sophisticated investor know

1. Good debt and bad debt
2. Good losses and bad losses
3. Good expenses and bad expenses
4. Tax payments versus tax incentives
5. Corporations you work for versus corporations you own How to build a business,
how to fix a business, and how to take a business public
6. The advantages and disadvantages of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, businesses,
real estate, and insurance products as well as the different legal structures and
when to use which product

Most average investors know only of:

1. Bad debt, which is why they try and pay it off
2. Bad losses, which is why they think losing money is bad
3. Bad expenses, which is why they hate paying bills
4. Taxes they pay, which is why they say that taxes are unfair
5. Job security and climbing the corporate ladder instead of owning the ladder
6. Investing from the outside, and buying shares of a company rather than selling
shares of a company they own
7. Investing only in mutual funds, or picking only blue chip stocks

A good businessman is more rare than a good idea
