Tax Savings Interest

Faith is not always enough to Save the Day: sometimes re-evaluating how we approach things is necessary.

 

There is a famous saying: if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Sounds logical doesn’t it?! However, when applied to our finances or business success that point of view can sometimes lead to complacency. That, as anyone knows, can spell out a slow and painful death of all we have worked hard to achieve.

 

People are so busy that they don’t take time to look around them and really notice what is happening to their financial health, life, money, retirement, assets, and taxes!

 

 Looking outside of our current list of advisors can sometimes yield unexpected results. In addition, if we begin to edge a little further out and explore some new ways of thinking or approaching an old subject something amazing can happen. We can find that what we needed was sitting here all along.

 

You want advisers that have a VESTED interested in your financial health and are in it to win it with a win / win playing field.

 

I have a long term friend of mine, whom I consider family, has elderly parents with failing health, the bills have been piling up, and their attorney has instructed them to keep their assets in their names, and let their children fight over the assets upon their death. Why do you think that is?? It is simply because the attorney will earn more money for himself by letting the assets go through probate upon their deaths, and then the heirs will be left with not only the pain of losing their parents, but the pain of paying the estate taxes, probate tax, and losing the things that they grew up with.

 

How to turn that corner is often the hardest step to make. It means acknowledging that what has worked so well in our wealth building journey for so long no longer has the horsepower to work. It means acknowledging that our financial education is a little rusty, and our long-held goal of financial independence is slowly slipping away,

 

In fact, financial freedom may have completely gone off the tracks. Avoidance of this fact is easy in the short term. Unfortunately in the long term, it will mean that our retirement has often been eaten up by shoring up our current situation or our hard won assets are now at risk.  Not such a pretty picture is it.

 

However, there is a point of view – a skill set – available to everyone who believes their family, business, retirement, assets, tax planning and every other aspect of their lives is worth protecting. It is when you recognize that you need help and that help can come in the form of an advisor or wealth building coach.  If you think of any successful sports person or team, wealthy person or business you know they have at least one top-notch coach they can depend upon.  You can have the same level of commitment as well.

 

Try looking around for the coach (and their approach) that will work best for you. Look at their references, past track record and important information that backs up all their claims. For instance, if they talk about saving money on taxes: just how much have they saved and can they prove it? How do they protect assets? What is their proposal for long term financial health for you and your family? Is it customized to YOU personally? Is it able to be implemented? Will your advisers be able to support it, and does the IRC and laws of the nation we live in support it?! All of these things are very important when choosing the right wealth building coach for you.

Small Business Tax Deductions - The year is coming to an end. Do you know where your deductions are? Whether you work from home, the car or the beach, you have a lot of small business deductions you have earned!

I’ve talked a lot about the tax benefits of having a small business to protect your assets and to reduce your taxes. If you’re new to the idea of starting your own business, we should talk. But first, as part of any wealth building strategy, I recommend you do a little homework.

Here’s some good foundational information that the U.S. Gov supplies about starting a business. Follow the link at the end for more info.

Business Expenses
 
Small Business Expenses and Tax Deductions
Guidance for the Self-Employed and Sole Proprietors

There are two basic tax concepts new business owners need to add to their vocabulary: business expenses and capital expenses.

Business expenses are the cost of conducting a trade or business. These expenses are common costs of doing business, and are usually tax deductible if your business is for profit. For example, costs of renting a storefront, business travel, and paying employees are all deductible business expenses.

Capital expenses are the costs of purchasing specific assets, such as property or equipment, that usually have a life of a year or more and increase the quality and quantity of products and services. For example, if you own a landscaping business and you purchase mowers and excavating equipment, these costs are capital expenses and do not qualify as deductible business expenses. However, you can recover the money you spent on capital expenses through depreciation, amortization, or depletion. These recovery methods allow you to deduct part of your cost each year. In this way, you are able to recover your capital expenses over time.

Figuring business expenses vs. capital expenses is not always clear cut. Consider taking advantage of free tax training opportunities offered by the IRS. If you have hired an accountant, you should also seek his or her advice regarding tax deductions.

The following information provides a brief overview of expenses that quality as tax deductions, with links to resources that provide clear guidance on deducting and capitalizing your expenses... For more: http://www.business.gov/finance/taxes/business-income/tax-deductions.html

Tax planning for doctors is all too often put at the end of the long list of to do's for fast-moving professionals. Part of any physician's wealth building strategy needs to include personal advisors, wealth coaches, and industry specific legal and financial experts. I believe it is very important to learn all you can about wealth building strategies but that doesn’t mean you have to know everything and do everything yourself.

Nobody becomes wealthy without a team effort. Athletes don’t get to the Olympics without a great coach, students don’t graduate from medical school without great professors, bosses can’t do their job without great assistants and people don’t become wealthy without a wealth team.

Raymond Aaron, founder of “The Monthly Mentor” once said, "If you don’t have an assistant, you are one."

Tax Planning for Doctors - in 30 Seconds?
High net worth tax planning is not exclusive to doctors and it is not something you should do on your own.  Financial advice for doctors shouldn’t come from the 30-second money making tips on tonight’s nightly news. So, whether you are a doctor, dentist or any other professional too busy to slow down and plan, ask yourself, these three questions:

• Who is on my wealth team and how qualified are they?
• Who should I be removing from and/or adding to my wealth team?
• What can I do today to improve this team?
  • Have clear goals that they all understand
  • Have regularly scheduled communications with clear agendas
  • Make sure expectations of performance and measures are crystal clear

If you are fortunate enough to be generating significant income but realize that you are paying way too much in taxes maybe this is the time to enhance your financial team with a wealth coach and a team of advisors to help you find legitimate business tax write offs and new ways to keep more of your hard earned cash in your pocket.

And finally, here's a few words from one of my wealth coaching clients...

"I just wanted to shoot you off a quick note to say thank you for your guidance. Your coaching has opened my eyes to a world of opportunities. It's amazing that after being a CPA for over 25 years, I was not aware of so many the tax saving strategies. Your coaching has helped personally as well as with my business.

P.S. If tax planning techniques bore you or intimidate you and small business tax deductions just aren’t your thing, then maybe it’s time to expand your wealth team. Find out how our wealth coaching programs can make setting up a small business or maximizing a mature one much more profitable. I’ve saved my clients nearly 14 million dollars in tax dollars in recent years. Feel free to give me a call!

Traditional retirement planners don’t always like what I have to say but that’s what I’m here for… to get people to think a little deeper, a little harder before they make financial decisions. For example, I don’t put a lot of stock in the stock market.  It’s tied to a win-lose relationship and a lot of retirement strategies are built around this model. But hey, if it’s working for you then go for it but there are better ways to plan for retirement with built in safety and security features that will let you sleep nicely at night.

Unfortunately 98% of people in America at age 65 are far from financially self sustaining, able to live out rest of lives with what they have in their retirement accounts. My goal, is to switch that number and have 98% of us in full control of our estates, legacies and our destiny. I referenced the 401 k article in Time magazine recently and I’m still thinking a lot about it. Here’s the problem.

It wasn’t until the last few years that people started seeing that giving blind faith to financial advisors was not the best ideas in the world. Even if they appeared to be wildly successful, you know like… Prisoner # 2523 aka – Bernie Madoff.

Tax Planning Techniques - First, Dump Your 401(k)?
If you’re contributing to your 401(k) and the company is also providing some significant benefit like “matching,” then maybe it’s okay. If not, then you might want to get with your CPA, tax attorney or other trusted advisor and take a hard look at your retirement plan. The problem is often unnoticeable until the day you actually retire. If the stock market happens to be in the toilet around the start of your retirement, you’re screwed. You can’t go back, you can speed it up, you take what you get when you take it.

Here are two things to do to protect yourself from this retirement nightmare so many people have been going through lately.

1.    Evaluate your 401(k) right now. Get a hard-nosed assessment of what it’s worth, where it’s invested, and where it is guaranteed to be at your ideal retirement date.

2.    The problem with the first tip is that there is usually little “guarantee” in the typical 401(k) plan. So, tip number two is this. Look into insurance-backed products that allow you to insure or guarantee the stability of that retirement asset. This requires working with a knowledgeable and trusted life insurance agent that understands your goals.

Life Insurance as an Investment Tool
At this point many people think, “Oh, those agents are just in this for the commission!” Well we all need to get paid but the smart agent is the one who recognizes that when she helps you set up your own banking system (like we teach in our Infinite Wealth System workshops) YOU will have an INSURED retirement plan and she will have a long-term income stream because she is helping you retire rich!

If you want to know how to select the right agent or would like a referral, feel free to give me a call or drop me a note! And… do your homework and review that 401 k right away!

Asset protection solutions are more important for certain types of businesses and individuals than others.  We all understand the value of insuring our homes, cars and lives but when things are going well it’s easy to forget about protecting yourself from the absurdity of pocketbook predators.  Don't let this craziness scare you because there is a solution. It's called Asset Protection Solutions!

There have been crazy cases where judges found a landlord liable for the alleged damages of another tenant’s cigarette smoke. Ridiculous awards have been made to plaintiffs for a wide variety of things that nobody in their right mind would believe is fair! I won’t waste any more time on the absurd, we all see the stories in the news so let’s just get down to protecting ourselves, our businesses and our assets with proper asset protection solutions.

Who’s at Risk?
Well, with more attorneys in this country than any place on the planet, if you’re an American, you’re at risk. But, if you’re in one of the following categories, you’re at higher risk:

• Architects
• Contractors
• Developers
• Engineers
• Physicians
• Dentists
• Medical Professionals
• Corporate Officers
• Financial Advisors
• Legal Advisors
• Real Estate Brokers/Agents
• Landlords
• Landlords
• Landlords

Oh, did I mention, landlords? It’s kind of funny in a sick kind of way. You work your tail off to find and purchase your first investment property. It takes you five years to get to positive cash flow. You net a couple hundred bucks a month and voila! You look like you’re a rich landlord with a big asset so you’re easy to spot and easy to sue! Ahhh, the joys of being a landlord.

A few weeks ago I did a post about the importance of getting all real estate out of your personal name and into appropriate operating entities that separate you from your assets and also allow you to fly a little more under the radar. Remember, if you cannot be found, you cannot be sued. Of course, you only do this in straightforward legal ways but it is possible to protect yourself better with a lower profile.

One of the asset protection solutions we teach our students in Wealth Classes Coaching is using LLCs, C corps or other entity to reduce your liability. We help our students find the state most favorable to their specific entity and then we incorporate all of these tactics into a long-term wealth building strategy that keeps the pocketbook predators at bay.

Effective asset protection solutions help to limit the ability of creditors to seize your assets or to even know where to find your assets. The typical attorney working for the plaintiff to attack your assets is going to do an asset search before she decides to take that person’s case. If there is nothing of value to be found, it’s harder for the predator to find a playmate!

If you want to learn more about asset protection solutions, give me a call for a no obligation phone consultation. Discover how my high net worth tax planning strategies and business tax write offs can put a little more cash in your pocket next year, call me for a free consultation. I sometimes joke about it but I really can spot significant tax savings opportunities for most people in a matter of minutes!

If your new to some of this wealth building talk and just want to get the basics, then you don't have to take some complicated tax planning course, just start right here with our free class called Wealth Principles Online.

This information does not constitute a complete description of all or any one aspect of financial planning. There is no offer to sell or buy any financial product in this video or on our website. Please consult with a qualified financial, legal and/or tax professional before investing or modifying any aspect of your taxes, assets or finances. This information is strictly educational.

Why doesn’t your CPA tell you about certain tax deductions? Maybe he's buried in paperwork. Maybe she would like to but doesn't want to take too many risks. Why don't CPAs tell you about those really unique tax deductions?

Some will some won’t! Most CPAs care about their clients and want to do a great job but the reality is, it’s your money and nobody is paying as close attention to your money as you are(or as close as you should be)! CPAs certainly will show you some tax deductions and make sure your tax returns are accurate. But they’ve got you and dozens or hundreds or thousands of other clients to think about at the same time.

The best way to get the most out of your CPA relationship is to be organized, detail oriented, and financially educated! I always say never count on any single financial advisor to know it all. At WealthClassesCoaching.com we believe it's important to create a wealth team.

And... you are the leader of that team. You are the one that needs to be challenging the thinking of your CPA. Ask why. Ask why not. Ask what if. Be careful here or you’ll spend a bunch of time getting an education from your CPA and a hefty bill at the end of the month. But put your CPA on the team. I believe “Teamwork makes the dream work!”

Help your CPA do a better job by learning everything you can about your money. It’s amazing how in just a couple hours a week how much you can learn and earn. Skip a few of those Seinfeld reruns or tonight’s episode of Dancing With the Stars and take our totally FREE home study course instead!

Challenge yourself to learn one new financial concept each week and in 52 weeks you have gained a ton of money making wealth building ideas!

Last Minute Tax Tips and a Free 8-Week Class to Boot!

The end of the year is closing fast and now is the time to get the tax deductions you deserve by knowing what information to share with your CPA. Here are a few year-end tax tips to consider right now.

Year-End Tax Solutions:
Read a few of these tax-saving, money making tips and I’ll give you a wonderful financial educational tool for absolutely free at the end of this post.

1.    If you might owe taxes…  review the list of potential deductions. Do you know what’s available? Diane Kennedy’s book, Tax Loopholes of the Rich has a great list.   Also, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service has a quick list of tax deductions for free that are often overlooked. Review these lists and look at where you spend money. Then bring this list to your CPA. I have a list of around 300 deductions that I use with my wealth coaching clients.

2.    Prepare for next year with a system… What is your wealth building strategy? What is your money management system? What is your process for building lifelong wealth? If you are shrugging your shoulders at these questions then you need a system. Our most popular workshop is called the Infinite Wealth System and it teaches you how to be your own banker, get paid like a banker and reduce risk like a banker. But first, you must start thinking like a banker. This workshop is quite powerful but don’t take my word for it, listen to some of the students.

3.    Create a Tax Advantaged Environment… What that means is that you should be doing everything legally available to maximize your tax advantages and minimize your tax liability. For example, There are four ways you can protect your income and your assets for a more joy filled retirement.

• Entity Structuring – set up an LLC, a C Corp, an S Corp or other legal business structure that will give you the greatest tax benefits and asset protection. You never want to hold real estate personally and LLCs are often great vehicles for protecting your investment and your family from legal hassles.

• Banking System – Utilize the proper life insurance products to establish a system of managing your cash flow and earning the interest on things you finance instead of paying interest to the bank or finance company.

• Self-Directed IRAs With Checkbook Control - A lot of peoples’ retirement accounts have taken a beating in the last year but there is a way to recover some and do better next year. Set up a checkbook controlled IRA and tie it into your banking system to maximize your earning power while reducing tax liability.

• Elite Family of Trusts – Trusts are powerful vehicles for creating long-term wealth and setting up a financial legacy.

4.    Tracking Software (Quicken, Quickbooks, etc.) There are many programs to choose from but the most important point I want to make is that if you don’t know where your money is going you won’t know where it went. Solid wealth building strategies require that you track your money well. If you’re not on a good financial management software program this is the ideal time to set it up so you can be ready for the new year and a fresh start.

Now… about that free gift. Sign up for our free eight week Wealth Building Secrets program that you can take from home. No cost, no obligation. Just 8 weeks of wealth building tips, money making ideas, tax saving strategies and new ways of thinking about wealth, money, and prosperity. There’s no obligation and you can start right now!

To continue a few more ideas from our Monday night’s Connector Coaching call, here are a few more thoughts on the best legal entities to consider. There’s a lot more to know about the tax advantages and asset protection features of each of these but this will give you an overview of the pros and cons of each legal entity (Check out yesterday's post for more).

Limited Partnerships – In this legal structure the partners cannot be actively involved in the management of the business. It’s important to be realistic with this. If you’re the kind of person that has to have your voice heard and you can’t avoid getting involved, this structure is not for you. Limited means limited.

If you do get involved you can lose your status as a limited partner and that opens a whole different set of issues and defeats the original intent. All income coming into limited partnerships flows through to the members, the partnership does not pay taxes.

Family limited partnerships where members are family members have some unique tax advantages.  Family limited partnerships can be used to pass tangible assets that wouldn’t normally be found in a business such as jewelry, art, heirlooms, etc. to the next generation. In limited partnerships it’s a good idea to have separate CPAs, bookkeepers and administrative functions. Downside – these can be tough to sell and costly to set up.

S Corps or Subchapter S – This is a standard corporation that has elected a special tax status with the IRS. The basic information requirements are the same as a C corporation wherein formation documents must be filed with the state agencies and necessary filing fees paid, of course. The S corp is different from the C corp in that it does not suffer double taxation like the C corp. With an S corp the profits and losses pass through to the shareholders and must be reported on their individual tax returns.

S corps also have unlimited life extending beyond the illness or the death of its owners. Stock can be sold, business expenses may still be deductible, and ownership is relatively easy to transfer. Downside – The number of owners must be fewer than 100, they cannot be non-resident aliens and all income tax obligations flow through to the individual owners.

This is just some of the material we covered in my last coaching call. Learn how you can participate in an ongoing wealth building program. Connector Coaching Program 

Limited Liability Companies or LLCs.  An LLC is a cross between a limited partnership and a corporation. You can have more than one owner. You file a 1055 tax form to do your return. From asset protection standpoint an LLC has many tax benefits. With single member LLCs you can add an S election that allows you to run it as an S corporation to get some additional advantages. An LLC limits your legal liability. Like a C corp you are only personally responsible when there is gross negligence or fraud involved. So, don’t do anything stupid and your LLC will protect you and your assets just fine!

You can have as many members as you want and you can have foreign investors. This is great when you are trying to come up with additional capital and you need flexibility in how you have structured the business. Income and losses flow to members so there is no double taxation. Great for holding real estate.

You don’t have to have formal meeting minutes like a C corporation. An LLC may protect assets better than any other structure. If you do get sued, you usually cannot lose stock to new members taking over because the current members decide who gets stock. If creditors put a lien on your interest in an effort to get paid, they may be liable for a tax on that debt. Bad for creditors, good for the LLC.

Rules vary by state so check your local laws although most states allow LLCs. Downside – Some states require LLCs to terminate at 30 years or at the death of a member but there are ways around that when structured properly.

Corporations  or C corps. A lot of accountants underestimate the tax advantages of C corporations. One big advantage of a C corp is you can control the income and you can pick the fiscal year end. Most other entities are based on the calendar. If you have a huge income influx, you can make adjustments to offset tax liabilities. You can also do what is called upstreaming income – legally shift income from your LLC to your C corp. The C corp is great to use as a financial planning tool.

Bottom line - You have time with c corps, lots of deductions and you can take advantage of many fringe benefits with minimal restrictions. The downside- lots of paperwork and double tax. You are going to be taxed on the income you draw and on the income created by the corporation.

C corp requires planning but if you are expecting higher income a C corp could be good. Use an attorney to set this up.  Again, these are just general and condensed points to consider when setting up your new business or looking for legal and safe ways to building financial freedom. Always use professional financial, legal, and tax advisors.

Learn more about our wealth building programs. Whether you make $1,000 a month or $100,000 a month, we have a financial education program you can use to start building lifelong wealth. Visit my coaching site at www.WealthClassesCoaching.com or just call me!

To create wealth you must understand some fundamental wealth principles. Here is one aspect of our wealth coaching programs, learning how to think, act, and profit like a banker. So let's get inside the bankers head and see what you can learn about your views of making extra money, building lifelong wealth and creating total financial freedom.

Bankers Think Safety First
A banker is charged with the responsibility of running his bank at a profit. He is trained to think safety first.  Bankers follow a strict set of rules that have proven effective for hundreds of years. Anytime those rules are broken, banks get into trouble and bankers lose their jobs. We can see that in recent bank failures around the world. The Bankers’ Rule Number One is: Do not take risk.

As bankers bent this rule and started buying and selling over-valued mortgages, assuming the value of real estate would always appreciate, they got caught with their pants down! Collateral is an asset that the bank holds title to until a loan is paid back.

Banks have always been good at collateralizing everything they can but recently, when the value of the real estate collateral they were holding became less than the obligations of the loan, things began to fall apart. The market declined, the domino effect kicked in and bank after bank toppled because they broke their number one rule – Do not take risk! Apply this to your thinking as you prepare your plan for retirement.

Bankers Make Money When Money Flows
The banker’s job is to manage the money flowing in and out of the bank. Not the bank’s money but the customer’s money. A good banker is involved in his community, good friends with important people, and always there when you need a safe place to put your money or to get a reasonable rate on a personal or business loan. He’s great at PR for the bank, giving away coffee cups, calendars, and other things that show his support for his community. He is constantly looking for ways to find savers and borrowers.

The bank's owner has made it very clear to its banker that he must always manage the bank in a way that shifts risk. In other words, don’t make investments and always use other people’s money, not the bank’s money.

This is likely one of the reasons people are cynical about the banker’s implied philosophy of “You can’t borrow the money unless you can prove you don’t need it.” While not exactly true, it is an indicator that people recognize how good bankers are at shifting risk away from the bank and back to the borrower. How can you "shift risk" the next time you invest?

This philosophy is related to another that has stood the test of time: “The last one in, first one out.” Let’s say you have a growing construction business and you need a new truck. Your banker is happy to take your application for a loan but it comes with a few strings attached.

First, the banker needs a down payment, just to show your good faith, of course. Second, he’ll hold onto the title until you make your final payment. Third, you must prove that you have insurance on this vehicle, which you must pay for but it really protects the bank.  And fourth, you must agree to all of the terms spelled out or your banker has the right to take the vehicle back at any time. Notice how the banker controls the entire agreement and minimizes his risk in all directions?

Wealth Training by the Truckload
In essence, the banker owns your truck. Here’s the last one in, first one out philosophy. The banker’s money came in last, after you first put up the $5,000 down payment; which is of course, money your banker will lend out and earn interest on many times over in the coming year. Your banker was last to give the auto dealer you are buying the truck from the rest of the money needed to purchase the truck. The banker will also be the first one out if things go wrong. If you don’t make your payments, he holds the title and will be first in line to come and take the truck back if his money is at risk.

Now we don’t mean to sound cynical about your friendly banker here, we’re just pointing out how totally committed he is to following his rules, doing what has worked for the bank owners for generations. When the banking system is used and the rules are followed, the banker brings in a nice profit to the bank owner. And of course, when everybody fulfills their part of the banker/borrower relationship, everyone gets what they need. You get your truck, the banker keeps the cash flowing, and the bank owner gets his profit.

Wealth Principles and Banker's Rules
The banker’s success depends on you making all of your payments in a timely manner. This cash flow gives the bank a predictable stream of income that can be loaned out over and over and over again. You pay 6% interest to borrow the money and the bank makes 6% interest, not just you but on many others who will borrow from your down payment and monthly payments coming in for years to come.

What if you were the banker? What if you could recapture some of that interest going out to the bankers and put it in your pocket instead of his? This process called “recapturing” is a critical part of designing your own banking system.

Here are some of the important lessons from the banker’s point of view.

1.    Successful Bankers don’t risk their money
2.    Successful Bankers don’t break the rules
3.    Successful Bankers don’t invest
4.    Successful Banker maintain control
5.    Successful bankers profit from cash flow
6.    Successful Bankers are the last ones in and the first ones out
7.    Successful Bankers maintain control
8.    Did we mention successful Bankers maintain control?

How much control do you have on your finances? Want to learn more? Join us in one of our many wealth coaching programs and start building financial freedom by learning how to think, act, and profit like a banker!

Have a prosperous day!

There’s a financial guru on TV who is quick to yell at people about their financial decisions. I heard her recently say that if you have an extra $5,000 in cash to invest that you should "Play it safe! Put it into the bond market." This is a perfect example of allowing the tail to wag the dog. If you see investing as a separate and stand alone system, without integrating other critical wealth building systems, you are about to lose $34,500.

Why? Because a typical American family making $100,000 a year pays out over one third of their income in interest payments to a variety of lenders! The financial advisor that focuses on your $5,000 (and of course, her commission to invest it) is missing the opportunity to recapture the $34,500 going down the drain in interest payments.

Never forget the synergy of the other wealth building systems:

1. Financing System
2. Debt Management System
3. Tax Management System
4. Investing System

Wealth Building Tips
With a properly structured financing system, the $5,000 you worked hard to save can be used to recapture part or all of the $34,500 flying out the window to hungry lenders. The financial advisor says, “Invest in bonds. They are low risk and will return 2.78% this year and they’re guaranteed!”  Whoop-tee-doo! There is a better way.

#1 Wealth Coach
On the other hand, with you, as the proud owner of your own banking system calling the shots, you could keep, 30, 50, 80% or more of that $34,500. That’s more like 15, 20, or $30,000 back in your pocket. But how do you set up your own banking system? That's one of the things we teach in our ongoing wealth coaching programs. Wealth Classes is all about educating its clients to create their own wealth. Whether I am considered the number one wealth coach or just another face in the crowd, YOU are the one that needs to take action.

We've recently updated our entire coaching program to make it easier for almost anyone to participate. In addition to learning how to set up your own banking system, our students also learn:

- How to plan and structure year-end – AND new year’s – financials
- How to create and structure profitable joint-ventures
- How to make contracts safe, easy and workable
- How to perform due-diligence the right way
- How to define and implement real-life goals
- How to maximize tax-savings – over and over again
- How to develop and work with Teams, Coaches and Mentors

If it's time to start building financial freedom then start with our entry level wealth coaching program called the Connector Coaching Program. I personally facilitate the weekly calls and we always have high powered, wealthy and wise speakers on every call. We have a lot of fun and everyone learns a ton.

Call me or to learn more!

As the economy evolves, our wealth building and tax saving strategies evolve. That's why I would like to introduce you to some of my millionaire friends. I have formed a team of like minded, very smart, high integrity people who are willing to share their insights on wealth building with my students.

Building financial wealth never happens one person at a time. I always say, "Teamwork makes the dream work!"  I'm very excited about some of the changes we've recently made to our wealth coaching programs. Now you will have more opportunities to interact with highly successful people to hear their "secrets of success."

Every week we bring in money experts, millionaires, and business experts for you to listen to and learn from in the comfort of your own home. You'll be able to ask questions, solve problems and find ways to capitalize on financial opportunities when you join one of our coaching programs.

Kiplinger's Personal Finance or Wealth Coaching
Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine had a great article in it recently about how to repair, rebuild and retire. It emphasized the importance of acting today, no more delay, regardless of your age. It very nicely broke down some basic action steps for various age groups who are planning for retirement. Good stuff. Get the mag, read it.

They also gave some great advice on various ways to maximize your life insurance benefits, how to start your own charity, how to find better money-market funds, and of course, a great article titled "6 Ways to Fend off Debt Collectors.

I encourage you to read magazines and books, listen to Cd's and watch financial education videos. Yes, do it every day! But the missing element in most of the financial media content out there is the team.

For less than the cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks each day, Wealth Classes Coaching can show you how to put together a wealth building team that will teach you, challenge you, and support you to do more than just read and listen. But! You don't have to give up Starbucks to start creating wealth! We teach you how to build wealth with what you already have.

Here is some of what you'll learn in our wealth coaching program:

    * Eliminate debt FOREVER
    * Make your assets practically bullet-proof
    * Plan for yours – and your loved ones – long-term wealth
    * How to raise OPM
    * Find and master your sales skills
    * Profit from family members (legally & morally….!)
    * Plan for retirement (or the next phase….)

This 52 week program is not for everyone. If you are happy with your income, your security, your retirement plan and you have all the money you need then good for yo. If you want to go beyond reading, listening, and talking about wealth and just want to start making extra money and enjoying life, then commit (either with me or anyone!) to learning more and taking wealth building action steps!

Have a prosperous day!

P.S. Total financial freedom doesn't have to be hard but it does take a little effort. But we've made it a lot easier with weekly classes, one on one wealth coaching and all kinds of audios, videos, and books to help you create your wealth building action plan. Have a question? Call me!

The Infinite Banking System puts you in total control of your wealth. When it’s all set up and running properly, you decide what money comes in and what money goes out. You set the interest rates and terms you want to pay to borrow money, just like a banker does. You decide how much interest you will charge others when you lend money and of course, the terms under which they will pay you back.

If your plan for retirement has been modified by our economic situation, maybe it's time to learn how to create a recession-proof wealth building strategy.

Plan for Retirement - Systematically
Again, there is no reason to compromise your lifestyle. We understand that it has been hammered into you since you started working that you must be saving for and planning for retirement. Of course, we all want to enjoy a retirement free of financial stress but why wait for retirement? This is the time to start building lifelong wealth.

To create truly massive wealth, there are four major systems you will eventually want to master. Here they are.

1.    The Financing System. This is the core of wealth creation but it does not stand alone. The Financing System is how you currently use your credit cards, loans, and leases. This is how you manage all of the money coming in and going out. It is the process of transferring funds, documenting transactions, forecasting the future, and monitoring changes.

This is the system, the technology, and awareness of the flow of funds through your life. The Infinite Banking System is a key element of the financing system that we teach in our wealth classes.

2.    The Debt Management System. This is the math, the timing, and the best use of your funds to reduce, minimize, and eliminate debt in the most sensible, manageable and realistic manner. A solid debt reduction process must be a part of any wealth building program. Of course, in our wealth training we don't want you to wait for anything. Eliminating debt and building wealth both begin immediately.

3.    The Tax Management System – This is the process of leveraging your knowledge of legal tax benefits into the lowest tax category possible. A properly structured tax management system allows the power of compounding interest to work for you. There is no lifestyle change required to maximize your tax benefits. Saving tax money is not an event it's a journey.

4.    Investing System – This is an optional yet complimentary system to the first three systems. Investing does not have to be risky or require too much work when you know where to start and what to avoid. Many people invest in traditional ways such as stocks, trading, real estate, etc.

When a systematic system of investing is combined with a systematic financing system, the synergistic results can improve your wealth creation momentum dramatically. There are tons of online investment classes and dozens of magazines that offer great advice on how to make money yet few of them provide a system that you can set up to run on autopilot.

How many people do you know that have “Investments” that they talk about yet they still never seem to have enough month left at the end of their paycheck? If you have invested in real estate, the stock market or any asset with an opportunity to appreciate then you are on the right track. What we teach you is that by combining any of the four major systems above, your wealth grows exponentially.

Savvy Investors Still need Systems
If you already have your own successful approach to investing, that’s great. Adding just one more thing, that you are about to learn to your investment system will greatly enhance your returns. If you have income coming in from your job, rental properties, investments, or other sources, we want that revenue to flow through your debt management system and into your financing system. We believe in the synergy of the systems. They work best when they are working together.

Top Financial Advisors
If you already work with a top financial advisor or manage your investments on your own, it doesn't matter to the team at Wealth Classes Coaching. Our goal is to help you eliminate distractions, delays, and excuses that keep you from creating massive wealth by automating as many of these systems as possible.

If you have to keep changing your approach, creating new tactics and re-inventing your strategies, then you don’t have a system. And if you don’t have a system, you don’t have control. And if you don’t have control, well, then somebody else does.

And there is only one person on the entire planet that cares as much about your financial well being as you do and that is… YOU!

Have a prosperous day!

P.S. If you're working with a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan, Smith Barney, or any other big name firm, good for you. We don't replace your financial advisors we simply teach you how to leverage your knowledge and relationships to build great wealth in efficient, safe, and sensible ways.

Until someone actually proved the world was not flat, you would have been considered totally crazy to think otherwise. Until someone proved that turning hot water into steam could run powerful steam engines and change the world of transportation you would have been considered a lunatic to think that a person could travel from city to city in minutes or hours instead of days or weeks.

And…until someone proved that you, yes you, can set up your own banking system and make money 24/7 with lower risk and consistent returns, just like a banker does, you would say this is just foolishness. But building financial freedom often requires a new way of thinking.

Tax Savings & Wealth Building Ideas
What once seemed impossible is now completely plausible, only if, you can make a paradigm shift, or a significant change in your point of view. If there is any area of resistance to the concept of wealth building it is usually in the the area of judgment.  To make extra money, generate new revenue streams, and build lifelong wealth, I ask you to suspend your judgments of things you know little about... like banking.

#1 Wealth Coach
To become your #1 wealth coach and a trusted adviser I must ask you to withhold your negative, “Yeahbut” thoughts until you learn how the Infinite Banking System works. I ask you to consider that the world may no longer be flat and that anyone can learn how to think, act and profit, like a banker!

If the hair on the back of your neck is standing up because of this radical thinking, that’s just fine by us. Resistance is natural and sometimes the most difficult thing to change on this earth is our… mind. We’ve been teaching thousands of people how to think, act, and profit like a banker for some time now and the first thing our students expect is that they are about to hear a laundry list of things they can no longer do or spend money on. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Wealth Classes Coaching Doesn't Require a Lifestyle Change
Our approach to building wealth is not like going on a weight loss diet. We’re not going to put you on a restrictive menu and tell you to stop doing this or stop buying that. In fact we’re not going to suggest you do anything different with your lifestyle. Building wealth comes from utilizing what you already have in more efficient and effective ways.

In our detailed wealth building  courses, you are going to hear some things you’ve never heard before AND… there are a few other things you will NOT hear that you may be expecting. Such as:

1.    Cut up your credit cards and pay cash
2.    Buy term life insurance and diligently invest the difference
3.    Pay down the mortgage on your house as quickly as you can
4.    Maximize your 401k and retire rich
5.    Take time to find the lowest interest rates on loans
6.    Remember, you must take higher risks to get higher returns

The reason you won’t hear any of those comments is because those strategies, though well intentioned, do not create wealth. It might make you feel good to pay cash for a new purchase, you’ll feel good knowing your mortgage is paid off, and you may feel a little emboldened after you negotiated another point off of that new car loan but these are all just emotional reactions to unemotional topics.

Tax Savings and More
I'm in the process of writing a book on reducing taxes and building wealth but everything I know about cutting taxes and building financial freedom is built on a foundation of systems, process, and strategy. Some of the steps you take in our wealth training coaching may or may not make you feel good but we’ve done the math, we’ve done the research, and we know that they work. You might feel good seeing your 401k or your home equity grow but can you use those assets? Can you leverage the value of your 401k into even more wealth? Can the equity in your home do you any good unless you borrow against it or sell your home?

So, I challenge you for today, suspend your old thinking and put some new information into your brain. The world is no longer flat and it is possible that you can learn to think, act, and profit like a banker.

P.S. Whether it's an online investment class, a wealth seminar California style or just a quick phone call, we have a wide variety of wealth training programs to fit any lifestyle and any budget.

An ACTIVE investor is someone that jumps out of bed every morning, excited about making multi-million dollar deals. She has no problems signing her name to a multi-million loan, risking the bank, and doing whatever it takes to make deals happen.

A PASSIVE investor on the other hand is someone that wants to enjoy life. He wants to travel the world and explore. She wants to be wealthy so that he or she can be sitting on a beach in Hawaii and totally enjoying her life.

Rich as Donald Trump
A PASSIVE investor may not care to be as rich as Donald Trump but she wants to be wealthy enough not to have to worry about bills or dealing with a boss or a job or a daily commute to the office. Sounds pretty clear, right? Maybe.

It might seem like a difficult thing to decide whether you want to be ACTIVE or PASSIVE. We found many people almost “brainwashed” into being ACTIVE when subconsciously they want to be PASSIVE investors. We all see the infomercials and other marketing gurus and we feel compelled to go in that direction. But many people simply do not know all the requirements of being an active investor.

Real Estate Investing - Easy Money?
Jumping into real estate investing and becoming a landlord to a handful of tenants doesn't sound that tough but it is very far from PASSIVE investing. On the other hand, PASSIVE investing, when done properly, still requires some effort. The effort to explore, analyze, and dissect the business or investment opportunity requires time, energy, and yes, even money before the fruits of PASSIVE investing come to fruition. There is always some investment required for a return.

Deciding whether or not you want to be an ACTIVE or PASSIVE investor should not take place in a vacuum. You don't finish reading my little blog post here and decide one way or another. Due diligence is required on yourself! Learning how you like to invest, what you like to do with your time and where your passion lies will help you make the right decision for ACTIVE or PASSIVE approaches to investing.

You - As an Investment Tool
One of the tools we use to help our clients decide their investment style is a personality profile. I can't go into too much detail here but each and every one of us has strengths, weaknesses, and very predictable tendencies we use to solve problems, make decisions, and organize our life. Once you are clear about how those unconscious or conscious actions occur, you can more easily identify which approach to business or investing is most likely to work for you.

Wealth Training - One Phone Call Away
Whether you are planning for retirement, just looking to capitalize on tax savings interest or searching for total financial freedom, you might enjoy joining our Connector Program. It's an entry level wealth coaching program that teaches you the fundamentals of finance, investing, and all aspects of creating wealth.

So, before you decide to become a PASSIVE or an ACTIVE investor, give me a call or drop me a note!

Have a prosperous day.

Earlier this year I posted blog about a few of the financial principles that I thought were so important. After seeing the chaos in the public meetings about our health care system and the politics of that whole process, it reminded me that all of us need to do a better job of taking care of ourselves with diet, nutrition, and exercise so we can minimize time in the health care system, andddddddddddddd…

Building Financial Wealth/Health
We need to do the same thing with our financial well being. We can talk about planning for retirement, tax strategies, passive income tactics and the like but most wealth creation begins in that gray matter between your ears. So here's a quick review.

Give yourself a wealth building checkup on these three critical wealth-health principles to see how you are doing.

1. Financial Attitude: Our Financial Attitude is that wealth building is a mindset – Make the decision right now to be wealthy. Then build your education, your self-talk, your team, and your financial systems around you to support that decision. All of us are looking for those killer making extra money ideas but they are all meaningless without the right financial attitude.

2. Financial Aptitude: Your earning power is in direct proportion to your learning power. And… the speed and ease at which you learn, your Financial Aptitude, is in direct proportion to your financial attitude.

Surround yourself with people of ability, knowledge, and integrity to learn from and grow with. No one gets wealthy alone. You don’t have time to make all the mistakes by yourself. Learn from others.

Whether you are developing a plan for retirement, trying to figure out how tax savings will effect your lifestyle, or just searching for more of those wealth building tips, start hanging out with people that are doing it not just talking about it.

3. Financial Gratitude: Financial greatness comes with financial gratefulness. Embracing Financial Gratitude means you appreciate what you have, what you earn, and that you are willing to give back by helping those who have helped you and those who just need help. Wealth Classes is always offering wealth building programs, many at no charge.

My friend and highly successful entrepreneur Jeff Black has given me some real pearls of wisdom over the years. Since the age of 16 he has been providing his business expertise to world class companies AND he has started a many multi-million dollar companies of his own. He helped launch Alta Vista, Hotels.com, Resorts.com and many others. His ideas are worth listening to!

I was reviewing some of my notes from one of his appearances on our wealth coaching call we do every Monday night called the Connector Program and I thought I would share some of his insight with you.

If you are interested in creating lifelong wealth, starting a business or just creating more of what you want in life, here are a few of the golden nuggets I pulled from my interview with millionaire entrepreneur, Jeff Black:

Jeff Black says (and I paraphrase a bit for space)
Most people have a great idea and if they followed it through it would probably be worth a million dollars in their pocket!

• The average person doesn’t follow through but the people who do, succeed.
• Once you get good at making money you have to get good at protecting it.
• You must give back. Sit on an advisory board, give referrals, and do for others what has been done for you.
• Build a team around you that are skilled and that you like working with.
• It’s got to be fun or why do it.
• Pick the best people and compensate them really well.
• When building a business – make sure everyone has some skin in the game so everyone is invested.
• Having lawyers is necessary. Hire the best.
• Success is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration.

Here is a little more of Jeff Black talking about his experience with our Infinite Wealth System workshop in this quick video interview we did with him earlier this year. He gives his point of view about whether or not it's a good idea to start a business during a recession:

The Arabs have an ancient proverb that affirms:

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a fool, shun him

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is a student, teach him

He who knows, and knows not that he knows is asleep, wake him

He who knows and knows that he knows is wise, follow him

This proverb fits well with our belief system at Wealth Classes Coaching. We believe that it is good to have help from financial planners, CPAs, brokers, bankers, etc. but we believe it is even more important that you learn about the world of finances. Nobody will ever care as much about your money as you will. You cannot delegate that attitude.

Find out more about our wealth coaching and wealth classes. In the meantime, here's a lesson!

If savings is just delayed spending here is what I have done with my money:
I look at money as a circle and it goes round and round to make up a sum total of 100%. If you take 100% and divide it out into the following categories I think you may be happier over the long run:

1.    10% to giving
2.    10% to emergency fund
3.    10% to fun fund
4.    10% to long term investments and with in that
a.    3.33% to high risk high reward
b.    6.67% to low risk secure safe investments
5.    10% to debt elimination
6.    50% to monthly living expenses such as mortgage etc.

Rules change and in order to get the maximum benefit you must continually educate yourself on what is changing and how to maximize change to your advantage.

Believe it or not...

1.    You can invest your way out of debt
2.    You can take advantage of the tax laws in the USA
3.    You can take advantage of tax free growth environments
4.    You can take advantage of coaching and mentoring environments that keep you informed on how to manage your money

Have a prosperous day!
