Wealth it all starts with a concept, the challenge is making the mind choose from the heart. I know this may seem funny at first but you will soon realize that your actually doing it. You see when you make choices they always come from the heart first, then the mind allows you to choose if this is a good or a negative action.

Choosing to get organized with your daily actions about your finances is a conscience decision that may make you uncomfortable in many ways. It’s new your finances aren’t the way they should be. You hide your bills and screen your calls to avoid those nasty credit collection calls.

This is when you know your life is out of control financially you made a conscious decision to let your accounting get away from you. You decided to swipe that credit card one more time. You made he choices that led you to your current outcome whether you know it or not.

You see your financial circumstances are purely a state of mind. What you have choose to do with your finances were purely your decision. So now that you understand this you have to choose to get organized. Choices like tracking your expenses, managing your paychecks, tackling all of your debts and eliminating the habit of poor financial management are all conscious choices you need to make in order to pull yourself out of an undesirable situation.

Organizing your finances can be a huge daunting task to undergo or a simple daily routine that you learn to implement into your television or play time. Something you need to do before you choose to go out and spend one more cent on something.

If your debts and credit cards are out of control you need to figure out which way is the best way to handle them. Do you consolidate your debts, work out a plan to eliminate them or do you seek out advice to perform a debt settlement? All of these choices are detrimental to your future.

Organization requires you to put a little thought into your spending habits, challenging you to choose if the money your spending is really necessary. Try this tip…carry a small notepad in your pocket or purse then every time you feel like whipping out cash or a credit card you write down what you are buying. If it’s not a top priority then you need to decide iif the money is being spent wisely or foolishly.

This is the best way to get your spending organized and under control. After you have implemented this practice you need to ensure you are budgeting always to ensure your money doesn’t run out before you run out of month. Also are you paying yourself first? Contributing your hard earned dollars to your future. Do you have a side savings account set up to carry you through slow times. This is also used to assist you in months where excessive bills or expenses suddenly arise. Embrace change for positive growth.

What’s the cost of financial failure? I had never given this a thought until I had experienced financial hardship in my own life. People never give reason or rhyme to why they have served themselves a bad deal. When financial crisis occurs you wouldn’t even begin to imagine the costs associated with the devastation.

For instance you have to determine what the financial failure is…A job loss, stock market crash, poor investment choices or no investment choices. What if indirect choices not even associated with finances directly affected you.

Let me try to clear this up a bit you see my choice was to start a business of my own, I worked hard and had my full time job at t he local telecommunications company. After suffering from lack of sleep and advancement in my business I made the choice to quit my day job, my security and financial stability.

This combined with poor well actually no financial management led me to financial devastation. I could deny all of this and base it on something else, yet I would still know the truth. When I made this choice I had no idea of the impact it would have on my life. I knew it would be tough, I just figured it would take me less time to achieve the level of success and wealth I wanted if I could dedicate all of my energy into my business.

It was just one month after I made this choice that my entire world was set upside down. My Mother passed away without warning, suddenly just two days after I had seen her. This rocked my world! My life spun out of control, I didn’t care anymore about anything. I blew over $100,000 of my inheritance on toys and trucks, instead of making the choice to pay my mortgage, my bills etc…

I know this sounds like a big “DUH YOU IDIOT” what were you thinking; and that my friends is my point. Most people don’t think about the choices they make about money. People and I mean almost 90% of the people in America are living in a facade, the truth is that that facade is has been blown wide open.

When local movie and television starts come together to speak out about financial awareness, you know there is a problem. When government spending has caused many a state especially here in CA. To point out their deficits to the tune of billions and billions of dollars you know there are serious neglects on many peoples parts.

Guess who gets to carry the burden of those choices you and I do. Not just our own choices but those choices of the people who we “elected into office”. By the way did you know that government officials don’t play by the rules you and I do. It’s quite obvious if you just read into it.

Regardless if you are in office or not, a Democrat or Republican or what ever other party you are associated with. Every official in politics sets two sets of rules. The one’s we must obied by and those rules they obied by. They are very different sets of rules. As I like to look at it as they are law makers and rule breakers.

Why shouldn’t they be subject to the same rules and regulations that we are? They’re exempt from the laws they put into place. So again what’s the cost of poor financial management. Let’s see your life and livelihood are at stake not to mention losses of housing, stability, family and friends. These are basic necessities that everyone needs.

What happens when you can’t find food or afford to eat, what happens when food shelters send you away empty handed or had out old breads and foods that have been in cans in the back of warehouses for what tastes like decades.

Loss of confidence and self esteem, embarrassment, humility and sense of purpose for life all demise. Depression and sadness rise up and beat you down. Financial insecurity that most people face is a sad and dangerous game to play. Because when the time comes to show your hand usually you loose.

If you have financial hardships you need to seek out the proper help and guidance from trusted professionals and resources. Possibly something as simple as an investment strategy, savings plans, debt settlement or mortgage modifications are all you need.

If your financial circumstances are more demanding then demanding and complex possibly a tax attorney/CPA are something you want to consider. Truly you want to have this type of support at your beck and call 24/7 and with your exclusive membership to Financial Destination Inc. You can have it all. Take the time to educate yourself with options, get involved with your life, join Financial Destination and receive First Class treatment like you have never experienced before.

When the economy is in turmoil and there is little reassurance that stable ground is hard to find. You’re looking to find a place to lay your hard earned principle down and grow; you want to know that when you make a purchase your value didn’t decrease and liquidate to nothing. Your future is a stake in a high stakes game of survival. It’s a dog eat dog world, best man wins type of situation.

Your fighting the battle between good and evil when it comes your financial affairs. Just like the Roman Empire came to an end with extensive amounts of bloodshed, violence and torture. Warriors went head to head with their opponents. Now you need to put on the same fierce ready for battle attitude and get ready to fight.

Your entire future is at a point where the wrong move will cost you the battle and possibly the war. You can’t afford to make a wrong move. This is where careful strategy, planning, using the time tested arts of war on your investments will not only prepare you for battle; you’ll have the upper hand every step of the way.

Now choosing your battles are a wise method for gaining the upper hand in any situation. You need to in this case size up your own ability in the areas of risk tolerance, emotional stability, willingness to hang in there when the going seems rough. This is where due diligence, preparedness and facts all come into play. You calculate your risk before you ever place a soldier into the battle field.

Next you surround and corner your opponent on all sides knowing there next moves before they do. You also have every obstacle covered due to you cunning. This is where your preparation comes in handy. First your exit strategy, when this event takes place when do you jump in and when do you jump out?

Having an exit strategy before you head into battle also has your future mapped out; you know why you are going into battle you need to know what and when you’re going to get out. Never jump in without an exit strategy. Here is where you factor in your loss risk, inflation, costs of living, tax benefits, liquid access and next playing field options.

You also need to ensure your soldier are strong, conditioned and well trained to endure extended battle; they must have the ability to resist market fluctuation and volatility. The daily bloodshed can wipe out many warriors in a single event if your unprepared. You can never know every single move your opponent will make. You will however be prepared for an ambush, ready to make the necessary adjustments as needed.

Spreading out your warriors is also a very important aspect to a successful strategy, diversifying and hedging are two common ways to reduce the risk. The most common hedge is in the real estate market where you can earn multiple streams of income off of a single asset.

These streams help to produce an influx of new warriors into the playing field which in return aid in the overall conquest of financial freedom. You’ll gain both appreciation and cash-flow although sometimes these can be a break even or negative situation they still aid in your over all financial picture.

A second way to hedge against your enemies commonly known as loss, taxation, market volatility and corporate dissolution or bankruptcy is to recruit a secondary army or multiple cash accounts spread across several sectors in the market place. ETFs and mutual funds are common here. These aren’t your foot soldiers here. They are your chariots, your knights on horse back all converging together in hundreds or even thousands of battles all across the war zone.

Together they fight off the constant rise in living costs due to inflation, food, fuel and taxes. They are the driving force after your foot soldiers have mapped out the terrain and taken surveys of the land topography. Your eye’s and ears in the battle field. They get in, get out and provide the ability to win the war before it’s ever fought.

Then you have the big guns, the Trojan horses and catapults, your long term plans, your future capital. Your retirement, your estate plans and your beneficiaries are all counting on the proper execution of this battle plan. Here is where you need the giants to come in and wipe out your enemy quickly while trampling onto victory without hesitation.

Crushing blow after crushing blow you defeat your enemies growing infinitely stronger as you continue to battle. Collectively your forces are unstoppable even with some inadvertent crushing blows received from an opponent you will be able to withstand them without losing momentum. You need a proven method for winning wars. Just as military history is an essential read for running a business; it’s equally important that you knwo it for your own business of personal financial responsibility.

You owe it to your self to make a stand and stay off the defeated list. In todays economic chaos you can’t afford to sit back and watch your life’s savings become depleted or lose your home in the wave of foreclosure mayhem, mortgage meltdown and credit crunches. Not only that stocks are falling like rocks to all time record lows, employers are cutting back or going out of business almost daily.

Giants who have stood tall through early depressions and recession are crumbling like the Roman Empire did so many years ago. Disappearing into history to never be heard from again. When giants fall you know your safety is uncertain unless you make the changes necessary to protect your self now. Get ready to fight, train with the experts who will guide you in the proper battle techniques and strategies that you will embrace with new found respect and honor. Let’s get ready for war.

Holiday cheer is all around us and winter is in the air, we feel the chill of the season and the happiness of the time of the year. No matter where we go it’s hard to hide from the fact that it’s almost Christmas time. With mistletoe and lit up trees all around, the presence of stocking hung with care we keep our spirits bright all through the day and night. While we all spend the days with family and friends the thought of financial and personal safety are hidden way deep within.

We seem to have a sort of blindness to things that can be bad and detrimental to us all. With the rising threat of criminal activity on the rise here are some things you need to keep in mind. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America and around the world; a new identity is stolen every 3 seconds. That’s 20 identities per minute and 240 an hour. If you think you’re safe from these crimes think again.

No one is safe from this. Your identity has several vulnerability points that can be penetrated, your medical records, your DMV records, your credit and social security as well. These are just 3 of the 5 points related to your identity. The most vulnerable point this Holiday Season is your financial identity and here are a few tips to help keep you protected from those who lurk to steal your information and benefit by destroying you in the process.

First and foremost you need to practice safe online shopping. Remember to never give out your personal information to an unsolicited email, only shop at trusted and known online stores and websites that you trust. Make sure that the checkout area is secure by locating the closed and locked padlock on your web browser’s window frame. This will help to ensure that your identity is safe from identity thieves.

All in all online shopping is more secure that going out to your favorite diner or restaurant. Simply due to the fact that there is no margin for human error; you see when you dine out or hand your credit card to a human who runs the transaction manually there is a possibility for the handler to copy your information and start charging away causing you to incur unauthorized charges. When you are online this risk is practically eliminated by secure encryption and light speed processing of the transaction with no human involved.

Secondly you need to remove unnecessary items from your wallet. While you are out on the town purchasing every item on your list you need to leave all of the unnecessary items at home. Lost checkbooks, wallets and credit cards account for 33% of all identity fraud. Only take the minimum with you the single card or checkbook that you will be using. This way amongst all of the confusion and chaos your other valuable items are safe at home.

You need to also have excellent record keeping; as soon as your statements arrive review them. With the ability to review statements online you have the upper hand. Your detailed organization and keen accounting skills will be a third defense of protection. You’ll need to keep your original receipts together for reconciling them against your statements. If you detect any discrepancies you’ll need to contact your bank or creditor immediately.

The most important step of course is having protection for your identity. You can watch, learn and become an identity specialist for your own protection, but who really has time to spend every second of every day performing these activities. In a matter of minutes your life can change without notice; will you be watching while your life becomes impacted? Having fraud monitoring alerts in place is an essential way to keep abreast of your circumstances while you grab a hold of life and get every piece of fulfillment that you can.

You need eyes watching over you while you’re away at work or play and while you’re off having fun while you are away. When you’re in that store this Holiday Season remember that others will be watching waiting and ready to pounce when the timing is right. Be alert now and always through your days protect your self from becoming a victim. Be smart use the tools and technology for your own advantage and defense. Shop smart, protect yourself and relax with ease; while everyone else scurries about carelessly meandering through the shopping malls and retailers unwillingly leaving their entire future wide open.

When it comes to investing many individuals are leaving more money on the table then compared to the profits that they can realize. Loyalty is the simple practice of being true to your self and to your needs. Just like with a friendship you cannot go out and do bad deeds to those you hold near to your heart.

When it comes to your investments yo need to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away, and know when to run. You never count your money when your sitting at the table, there will be time for counting when the dealings done.

A little nostalgia for those who remember the gambler. Getting back to the issues at hand your loyalty to your investments directly reflects your overall success with your investments. Too many times people are influenced by the latest and greatest trends on the late night evening news or a friends recommendation without ever doing their own due diligence.

Speaking of the gambler are you risking your future profits by gambling on the next big thing? Part of your loyalty to successful investing is stick to your guns and knowing that you have put your investments to the litmus paper test.

Making sure that your choices are financially sound, safe and profitable. Leaving a minimal risk for loss. Land banking is one of the most loyal investments to it’s investors due to the fact that land is less susceptible to market and economic fluctuations.

We have seen the effects of emotions, unloyalness, investor jitters along with many other influences that are non human in some cases. Company performance and profitability along with decisions based for growth or repositioning has a direct effect on your stock picks dividends. The same goes for mutual funds, bonds and all the other intangible asset classes of investments.

Way to many factors come into play. Even in traditional real estate investing has it’s pitfalls when you place simple human emotion into the mix. The amount of rehabbing done, the types of appliances, fixtures, carpet, paint and so on.

When you design your rentals for your lifestyle you typically lose. You usually don’t recover the costs for beautifying your rental units. Again this is why human emotion has to be removed from the equation, staying loyal to your analytical research findings is the surest way to successful investing.

This is why your loyalty has to be true to not only your financial advisor or individual investments it must be true to your hearts desire. You have to know what you want going in and how long your willing to stay, as well as the most important question how will you ever get out.

Exiting too early or too late can be just as huge of a devastation as impulsive investing without the proper knowledge. Also building your portfolio with only one type of investments is a sure way to leave that all mighty dollar on the table. You need a mixture of real estate, liquid investments, and some alternative sources to enhance your portfolio.

Precious metal, semi-precious stones, debt instruments, real estate, stocks, bonds and mutual funds are the typical investment classes. We are also given choices of bank savings accounts, cd’s, money market accounts, IRA’s and various other platforms to choose from.

When it all boils down at the end of the day you have to be able to live with your decisions and sleep well at night. These are the traits of being loyal to your investments and true to your own needs. If you can stick to one course of action and follow your game plan you are sure to win.

Dropping your guard, straying away from your own morals and ethics even for a moment is a sign of not being loyal. You have to stick with your decisions and stick to your guns. Now get busy reacquainting your self with your portfolio investments. Then get intimate with them.

No one else but you knows where your loyalties lye. Bank on the fact that you can land on your target with some guidance, understanding and patience.
