Investors mastermind group - hang out with likeminded peopleWhere do get help when you are not the expert. Even experienced investors like hanging out in a group and are joining an investors mastermind group.

Fed up with losing money in the stock market? If you are keen to be a self-directed investor then you need somewhere to start but keep in mind the old saying if you don’t know where you are going you will never get there.

A chat to a certified financial planner should be a starting point. Your investing strategy will depend on many factors including your age, you income, yours expenses and your goals. It is only when you have your end in sight that you can begin to find an investing strategy to suit you.

Lack the expertise to do the research yourself? Joining a mastermind investing group could be a solution.  If you have been getting investing advice from the local barber or the newspaper chances are it’s either fifth hand information or it is now far too late to buy those shares as the price have shot up so the shares are now considered too expensive to buy.

Jim Rohn is a motivational speaker and author. Jim says that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. Are the people you are listening to successful in their own right? Have they made money in the stock market and do they have a growing stock portfolio?

By joining an investors mastermind group you are:-

·        Accelerating your chances of success – you are getting advice from active investors who know what they are talking about.

·        Making personal connections and building your network – there is always ways to grow your connections that can help you now and in the future.

·        Getting feedback from the group of diversified members – the group members have a vested interest in every member of the group doing well.

·        Suggestions and research – it is a big world out there and there are many companies listed on the stock exchange. Research plays a key part in selecting stocks to purchase. Investigating reasons for stocks falling can be critical in finding a stock at bargain prices.

Even experienced investors like hanging out in a group. There is always something to learn. Where better than to join a mastermind group where you can hangout with likeminded people and share your knowledge. The Bottom Feeders investor mastermind group is putting some fun back into investing.

Are you serious about what you want to do? If you are then you need to seek out those that have the same interest and spend time with them. Ann Babiarz, together with her investing partner has set up the Bottom Feeders Mastermind Investor group and newsletter. It is a paid group and this group believes in putting some fun back in investing.  If you are fed up with losing money in the stock market then find out more about this investors mastermind group.

Tips for investing success starts with creating a road map for your life.

Would you like to know how to Ensure your Investing Success. To get tips for investing success listen to Ann Babiarz, an investor, a coach and author of the book, ‘Up’.

Up

Believe it or not it starts by creating a road map for your life. Life is a journey and when we go on a journey we need a plan. Ann explains why an investing strategy needs to be congruent with your life and values.

Ann Babiarz and top personal development guru, Bob Proctor, tell us we need to have a vision for our lives.  By doing so and writing our goals down, we are nearly guaranteed success.  Bob Proctor reported that a study of alumni, ten years out of Harvard University, revealed some very interesting information on goals.

It seems amazing that 83% had no goals. They had absolutely no targets they were working toward.  This would appear a bit like spinning your wheels.

You don’t know where you are going so you spin and just go around in circles. 14% had specific goals. They didn’t write them down yet they were earning three times the income of the 83%. However, the most startling figures came from the group measuring a mere 3%.  This sector had specific goals, clearly written to read and review, and this sector was earning 10 times the income of the 83% who had no goals written or otherwise.

Groups and Goals:

  1. No Goals                  83%
  2. Specific Goal           14%                 Earning 3 x Income Group 1  
  3. Written Goals           3%                 Earning 10 x Income of Group 1

If we give ourselves a target then we will reach it. Our minds are marvellous instruments. They are working for us but our minds need some direction. If you were told there was a way to guarantee that you could earn more than 10 times what you are currently earning, don’t you think you would give it a shot? To be a successful investor you have to do the same.

Find the way to suit you, make it into a plan that suits you. It would make sense to do whatever you could to give yourself the best chance to succeed. Listen to the episode and get some great tips for investing success.

Putting the “I” in Time Management

March 5, 2017 By Ann E. Nelson Leave a Comment

Putting the "I" in time managmentTime management is an abhorrent phrase to me. No one manages time. It runs along smartly with or without our cooperation.  No one manages time using time. In this sense, there is a biological clock that ticks within us all. Each of us has a different setting of which we are unaware. Nonetheless, we all are aware that in the earth plane of existence, time is a limited and perhaps precious commodity for each and every one of us.

Time is one of the three things that each of us may offer to the world. Whether we proffer our offerings to our employer, our spouse, our children, our school or our hobball we may give is :-

  1. Time;
  2. Talent and;
  3. Treasures

Of the three, time is arguably the dearest. 

Treasures can be inherited, received or earned. We may use our treasures on a number of things — from mundane items such as food, shelter, and clothing — to investments we view as legacies to our issue. Treasures lost may be replaced, and treasure can be decreased, increased or otherwise sought.

Talents include those things to which we seem to have a natural affinity and those to which we learn as a skill. Within reason, and our own limitations, we may add to our talents, hone them further, and even brush them up if we feel through lack of use that rust has accumulated.

Time is different. We speak of spending time much as we might spend or other treasures. But once spent, time cannot be re-earned. Once done, we cannot retrieve this day, this hour or this moment ever again. Yet, although we put forth much effort to acquire new or polish old talents, and can carefully manage our portfolios, do we view time in the same light?

Last weekend, my granddaughter Shaylynn had a sleepover at my house. As my husband chauffeured the three of us home — I rode in the back seat next to Shaylynn per her request — my husband noticed my usual habit of checking my smart phone for e-mails, texts and social media notifications that are pushed to my home screen. He jokingly told my four-year-old granddaughter that she should admonish me for looking at my phone, and that instead I should be paying attention to her. Sure enough, throughout the rest of her visit, every time I picked up my phone, she waggled a finger at me and told her grandma to pay attention to her.

This got me thinking about my time usage. That four-year-old voice was the voice of wisdom. There was nothing on my phone that was urgent or an emergency. But my little granddaughter would never be sitting next to me in the backseat of the car on that particular day again. Yet the preciousness of the moment was one I was prepared to ignore.

How we use our time is most often driven by our core values. What foundational beliefs do we have, ones that are truly ours and not imposed by some outside institution, family members, or peer group, and how do those beliefs impact our daily lives? If we find that we use our time in a manner most congruent with our foundational beliefs, we will find our days on earth to be more satisfactory. If on the other hand, we multitask inappropriately, ignore moments we shouldn’t, or our time goes towards activities that are anathema to those philosophies which make up our core, we risk cognitive dissonance. Our minds are thinking and our bodies are acting in a manner that is inconsistent with who we truly are.

When you examine how you use time, you’ll find that much of it is your choice. This is an area where you can set goals around how you use time. Making your expression of this precious resource a clear reflection of who you really are — putting the “I” back into your time usage — can be a key element in relieving much dissatisfaction with daily life.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates
