Financial Independence Secrets
If you want to win the lottery, you first must buy a ticket.

This simple rule is no more simple than the rules for guaranteeing that you achieve financial independence; that is, if financial independence is important to you. My dad instilled in me that I should rely on no one -- certainly not the government -- if I wanted to live in my old age as well as I had lived when I was working.... Read personal finance article



Financial Freedom
If you have read some of my past articles, you are familiar with my definition of financial freedom. It is freedom to focus on what is truly important to you and your family without trading time for a wage. It is enabled by a portfolio of income producing assets managed by you. In other words, your rental properties or eBay business pays the bills. It is not retirement or jet-setting around the wo... Read personal finance article



Wire Money - Caution Tips
Quite a few years ago I was a bartender in a small town on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My girlfriend (who is my wife now) went to Dover for a NASCAR race. While I was working in the bar all alone she phoned me asking me to wire her some money as soon as possible.

I didn't see how that would be possible because I working alone and by the time I finished work all the banks would have been closed. Of course, I tried to explain that to my girlfriend but she told me that I badly needed to wire her some money because if I didn't she wouldn't be able to make it home.

It wouldn't have happened like that if she hadn't forgotten her credit cards and ATM card. She noticed she had not taken them when she tried to buy some food at a store while travelling. She had some cash but not enough for the whole trip. Thus, my girlfriend desperately needed money. What made the things so worse was the fact that she couldn't find her friends either.

I wouldn't be surprised if this happened now but back then I was stunned that she could have forgotten her credit cards and bank card as well. When we finished talking on the phone the bar was full of people wanting to have a drink. And of course, on top of everything this was a Saturday evening.

Things were getting worse because even if the next bartender came earlier I couldn't leave her alone with so many customers. I didn't really see how I could leave my post to wire money to my girlfriend. She had no other choice but to wait until I finished work. I got really lucky because we were friends with some of the regular customers and one very nice guy offered to wire money to my girlfriend instead of me.

I was relieved that I had found a way out of this complicated situation. However, even though this man seemed very kind, he was quite thick and little slow. I thought that such a task would be quite confusing to him. But it is not like I had any other options, so I gave him the cash and hoped everything will be fine and he will manage to wire money to my girlfriend in time.

A few hours passed and I thought everything was okay but it wasn't. My girlfriend called in a panic. She said there was no money. I assured him that money was sent because I had the receipt. When he checked again, I carefully examined the receipt and I saw that the recipient was the person I sent to wire the money, instead of the sender.

I wished I didn't have to tell either of them about this but I had no other choice. I carefully explained what had happened to our friend. He immediately went out again to correct his mistake. That time he wired the money double-checking who is sending and who is receiving it. Of course, everything was fine in the end. These things can happen to anyone.

How to Think and Grow Rich

Some old books are just ...old. They are full of dusty, irrelevant ideas and written in an antiquated writing style that offers no appeal for the modern reader.

But some old books are just as alive today as when they were hot off the press. They are full of still-fresh ideas that are still useful and practical to the modern reader.

Napolean Hill's 1937 classic Think And Grow Rich is such a book. It is packed with still-timely principles on success and wealth.

Hill's insights began when he was a 25 year old business journalist assigned to interview the world's richest man at the time, Andrew Carnagie.

Carnagie introduced Hill to his philosophy of how an average man could become wealthy and successful. Just as importantly, he introduced hill to some of the richest and most successful people in the world. Based on Carnagie's introductions, Hill interviewed Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, F.W. Woolworth, and Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Howard Taft.

As a result of 20 years of study, Hill formulated 13 Steps to Riches. He was on of the first people to stress the importance of written goals and the power of belief.

Among the insights this classic can still offer us today are:

How to set goals that compel you to keep driving and persisting toward it until you succeed.

How to use visualization to make your goal real in your mind before you make it real in life.

How to develop self confidence through visualization.

How to build a network of people who help each other successfully reach their individual goals. (Hill calls this a "Master Mind Alliance.")

How to unleash the power of your creative imagination to create the ideas you need to make your dreams come true.

The planning secrets that take your goal from a dream to a successful reality.

How to use the power of decision to develop complete mastery over procrastination. It is said that Napolean Hill made more millionaires than any other human being. While that claim can never be proven, it is probably true that no single book has launched millionaire careers and ventures than Think And Grow Rich.

If you have never read Think And Grow Rich, you are in for a wonderful experience. If it's been a long time, pick it up again. It still has the power to help our dreams come true.
