Small Business Tax Deductions - Get Your Share Before the Year End

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
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:

Year End Tax Tips - That's Tax Tips not Tax Tricks!

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
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!

Plan for Retirement While Planning to be Here

Saturday, October 10, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
Does your plan for retirement include you being there, fit and fine? I got a lot of feedback from my students yesterday on a few of my simple wealth building, health building tips so I thought I would add a few more.

If you want to see your retirement planning efforts pay off then you've got to take care of yourself in the meantime! We always talk about estate planning, establishing asset protection strategies and creating wealth in a tax-advantaged environment but we don't always talk a lot about our health!

You need to be strong and healthy to enjoy the fruits of your financial labor! Here are a few more health tips/wealth tips that we all need to be practicing by the time the retirement planning process ends and the retirement living begins!

Breathe to Achieve!
Too many of us live on caffeine while operating on high stress and low energy but the truth is, you’ll achieve more when your stress level is low and your energy is high. By learning to calm your nerves with focused breathing throughout the day you’ll have more energy, a lot more fun, and maybe make a lot more mun!

•    Let go of stress before a meeting starts by asking everyone to take just a minute or two to close their eyes, relax, and concentrate on relaxed breathing. Do the same thing for yourself when you are alone and about to start the next project.

•    "Slow down and breathe"
is not a metaphor. Actually slowing down and taking a few extra deep breaths every hour refreshes the mind and re-energizes the body.

•    Be aware of your breathing throughout the day and actually focus your breathing on "inhaling all that is good" and "exhaling all that is not."

Manage the Snack Attack
Snarf down some donuts and coffee and you’ll be flying high for an hour or two but unless you get another sugar fix soon, you’ll hit the wall hard! Having balanced energy throughout the day assures higher productivity, more pleasant communications, and a lot less stress! Here are some snacking tips to keep your energy up and the stress levels down:

•    A great snack in between meals
is a combination of raw or dry roasted nuts (for protein) and some fresh fruit (for healthy carbohydrates and natural sugars). It might be an apple, walnuts and light cottage cheese or non-fat low-sugar yogurt.

•    Avoid so called energy bars on the market that boost energy with massive sugars, artery clogging fats, and excessive carbohydrates. Avoid snack bars that use sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols are a major reason many people cannot stomach most energy bars on the market today.

•    Make sure your snacks are tasty and enjoyable. Keep healthy snack options convenient and available at all times so you make healthy choices. Carry only snacks that include a balance of high quality proteins, healthy fats, and energy enhancing carbohydrates. The best snacks are natural. Fruits, nuts, and veggies!

Start Your Stress Reduction Action Plan Now!
There is no time like the present to implement a plan for change! If you are planning your retirement and haven't included your health maintenance strategy, this might be a good day to start!

Wealth without health is not that much fun!

Have a prosperous day!

Wealth Building Strategy Requires a Health Building Strategy

Friday, October 9, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
Any wealth building strategy should include a health building strategy. So here are a couple of wealth building tips based on health building tips.

Stress can take the health out of wealth real fast unless you learn how to manage it. Stress is linked to major diseases like cancer, heart failure, even arthritis! Now don’t go getting all stressed out over these nasty stats, there are some simple solutions you can do today to reduce your stress levels while you make your millions.

Stop pulling your hair out and read a little more.
The best anti-aging program is a stress release program. And, since you're working so hard at creating your wealth building strategy I know you're going to want to be around a long time to spend all the money!

Here are three effective ways to lower your stress levels today!

Practice the 3-D’s!

The three D’s are: Do it, Dump it, or Delegate it. It’s not rocket science but it can be a lifesaver! Look at everything on your to-do list today with your 3-D glasses on!
  • Do it – if you run across something that can be done in two minutes or less, just do it now and get it off your list. One less thing to stress about
  • Dump it – Get brutal with the junk mail, email, and mindless tasks that waste time and energy. Get protective of your time and focus your energy to the most important tasks of your job or your personal life. Dump the stress that comes with doing things you really don’t want to or need to be doing.
  • Delegate it- Leverage your time by letting others do what you’re not good at or committed to. Ask for help, develop support systems, but don’t do it alone! Share the love, the work, and the stress! If it's not an activity that is creating you money then you should't be doing it.

Have a prosperous day!

Wealth Building Tips with Jim Britt on our Connector Call

Tuesday, October 6, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
Here are a few more wealth building tips from my Connector Coaching call with Jim Britt!

“How may I help you?”

Jim agreed with me that to build wealth in today’s economy, it’s a good idea to have a job to keep some form of revenue coming in while you look for ways to start your own business or leverage your money in tax advantaged ways.  Here are a few more highlights I've paraphrased from that Connector Coaching call interview with the very wealthy and very kind Jim Britt!
  • When starting your business, don’t start desperate. Desperate people push investors away
  • If the business plan says something about catching up on the pickup payments nobody will (nor should they) invest
  • Opportunity stays far away from desperation
  • Start your business to focus on giving others value not on all the money you are going to make. See things from the eyes of your customers. You’ll sleep better and you’ll ultimately make more money. If you focus on value, the money comes to you
  • Network marketing is a way to start a business with little or no overhead. For around $500 there are tons of great businesses you can start. Choose a solid company with good people and a product that is leading the market. Something that is hot and cutting edge is best. Look for a category creator.
  • Jim made hundreds of thousands from numerous network marketing companies and still gets residual checks many years later without much effort
  • Most powerful thing you can do in business… build a network. Keep track of people, offer to help people. Be a resource to people and genuinely try to help others. That’s how you build a network of resources, allies, and friends. Your network is not just for raising money. Always be asking… “How may I help you?”
  • Be responsible. Take responsibility for your life. The good, the bad, the ugly. Then do something about it. Don’t dwell on the past, just learn from it and move forward.
Finally, I asked Jim what he believed was the reason for Jim Britt’s success. He said it was this… “I always try to be the best I can be, notice I did not say to be the BEST but to be the best I can be. Not better than others, just better than I was the last time.”

Have a prosperous day.

How to Turn $5,000 into $34,500

Wednesday, September 2, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
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.

Are you an Active or Passive Investor? Are you Sure?

Friday, August 21, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
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.

Financial Freedom & Health Care

Thursday, August 20, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
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.

Have a prosperous day.

Millionaire Jeff Black Shares his Insight

Thursday, August 13, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
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:

Where do you Learn About Wealth Building?

Wednesday, August 12, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
I love wealth coaching. I truly enjoy helping people on their path to building total financial freedom. Yet, although I am very passionate about the power of our wealth coaching process, I recognize there are many ways to build lifelong wealth. For example, Money magazine, www.CNNMoney.com had a great article recently about the 7 New Rules of Financial Security. The article was good and probably helpful to many readers.

Entrepreneur Magazine had some great articles on marketing tactics, the impact of the stimulus plan, how Firewire Surfboards has reshaped an industry, and a few tips on whether or not to expand your franchise from one location to many. All good stuff but… pretty broad.

One of the things I believe is very important to building financial wealth is creating a team of people around you that can help you create wealth within your specific and unique situation.

Look for a combination of people that are able to:
  • Support You -  in getting solid information and giving feedback
  • Provide You - money making ideas (earlier than magazines do :-) )
  • Share With You Practical Experience – creative and practical financial tactics that are being used by real people that you know and trust
  • Guide You – with their specialized training, experience, and expertise– words to the wise from a variety of financial experts that can give advice and guidance without trying to sell you something you don’t need
Some other ways to get the financial education tools and resources you need are online investment classes, financial webinars, financial teleclasses, wealth classes, and one on one wealth coaches. It doesn’t matter which wealth building strategy you choose, the fact is the only one that will work is the one you will stick with!

Loral Langemeier, Bill Bartmann, Joe Vitale, Dr. John Demartini

My friend Lance Hood of www.TheGreatestLivingSuccessCoaches.com has done a marvelous job of bringing together some amazing talent for his wealth building course called The Greatest Living Success Coaches. I will be one of his featured speakers, speaking to a very large audience of his in a teleclass later this week. I am honored to be in the presence of fellow presenters such as Loral Langemeier, Bill Bartmann, Joe Vitale, Dr. John Demartini, Alex Mandossian, Les Brown, and many others. It’s important to keep in mind that when it comes to financial success we truly are a reflection of the company we keep.

Wealth Building Tips
I challenge you to take one or two action steps toward establishing a wealth plan – TODAY! Reading financial magazines, taking wealth classes, signing up for one of our wealth coaching programs are all great ideas but figure out what works for you and get started.

We offer free classes, one on one coaching, financial webinars and the works. If you are at a higher level of investing and business building and would like to learn more about our “think-tank” mastermind styled approach to building wealth, ask about our Legacy Wealth Group.

This is the day. Let’s get started!

Have a prosperous day.

Speakers Announced for Greatest Living Success Coaches Teleclass

Speakers Announced for Greatest Living Success Coaches Teleclass

Wealth coach Gabby Huguenin a bit of a “Shock Jock” in the financial planning world, prepares to ruffle a few entrepreneurial feathers in major wealth-building teleclass.

San Jose, CA (August 7, 2009) www.WealthBuildingDNA.com  “We’re at a very critical juncture in this economy,” says Gabby Huguenin, wealth coach, tax expert, and CEO of Wealth Classes Coaching, LLC. “If American entrepreneurs don’t start taking responsibility for their financial situation by learning the fundamentals, we will continue to have high business startup failure rates.”

Huguenin is known for her direct style of telling it like it is as she speaks to business owners of large and small scale. Huguenin is a big believer in maximizing tax benefits by properly utilizing entity structuring to help create a tax advantaged environment. Huguenin will be one of the featured speakers in the upcoming event “The Greatest Living Success Coaches” month long teleclass series.

According to Gabby Huguenin, children are no longer just bundles of joy and love when you start your own business. They are legitimate tax deductions and possible employees that can save any business owner a ton of money. In a recent Podcast on her blog www.WealthBuildingDNA.com, Huguenin explained how easy it is to save $5,700 in the 2009 tax year by putting those kids to work.

Her company Wealth Classes Coaching teaches small business owners as well as individuals, how to leverage life insurance assets into tax savings tools. “Too many people think of life insurance as a necessary evil but the reality is, certain types of dividend-paying life insurance policies can be very effective at legally reducing tax liability when properly structured,” says Huguenin.

Five Top Mistakes That Made Phil a Millionaire - Wealth Building Tips You can Use!

Saturday, July 25, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin

We all make Mistakes, but...

The difference is, Phillip Brothers, President & CEO of Pacific West Vending, LLC and AdzSpin, LLC Learned from them. In fact, he learned so much he became a millionaire in the process.

How many mistakes do you make over and over and over? If it’s over and over and over, they don’t sound like mistakes, they sound like torture!

During a recent wealth coaching call I did in our weekly Connector Program, I interviewed the millionaire Phillip Brothers about his success in business and what it takes to achieve financial freedom.

Make Millions of Dollars or Millions of Mistakes
Here are the Top Five Mistakes Phillip made and learned from to achieve success. Put yourself in Phillip’s shoes. Whether you are starting a business, investing in real estate, or just trying to be a better money manager in your family, making mistakes in the process of building lifelong wealth is a good thing…

AS LONG AS WE LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES
AND DON’T REPEAT THEM!

Phillip’s Top Five Mistakes That Helped Make Him a Millionaire

5. Going Solo  -  In the past, I tried to do everything on my own. Doesn’t work that well! Now I recognize the power of the team. Creating wealth and opportunity is always better (and more fun) with a team.

4. Raising Money – In the past, I failed to raise enough money and in my enthusiasm got a little too far down the road and ran short on cash. Today, my rule is raise twice as much money as you think you need!

3. The Smartest Guy on the Team is me – Not so smart. Always find people that are smarter then you. Find people to fill in your gaps, your weaknesses. And if you choose the wrong people, do both of you a favor and let them go. The business won’t achieve its potential without the right people.

2. Shotgun Weddings – Just like getting married, a business is a long-term commitment. The shotgun approach to business seldom works out well. Do the planning before you start. The more detailed the better. That detailed road map will come in handy when you find yourself in the blur of business growth and/or chaos and you’re not sure which way to go. Your plan is your compass. Don’t leave home without it.

1. Forgot to sell Something – Never ever forget that nothing happens until a sale is made. It doesn’t matter what your business is, you must be selling all the time. Get caught up in the wrong things and forget you have a responsibility to generate new business and you’re history. Don’t leave  the big job of selling up to someone else when you launch your business. 

Bonus Blunder!

Put Pain on the Brain - Here's one more mistake that's so easy to make.  Make sure your product is solving a true pain point for your customer. If you can’t identify the pain point, you can’t sell your product. Take care of the pain and you take care of your customer.

That was a great call and thank you Phillip Brothers for joining us!

Have a prosperous day!

Financial Freedom from $5,000? A Wealth Building Tip You Can Use Today

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
There is a story that’s been told of the first European sailors to approach a small little tropical island where the natives had inhabited the island for hundreds of years, unexposed to the changes in other parts of the world. The sailors came across the blue waters on the wide open horizon where their presence must have been so obvious.


You would think that the massive wooden ships with their tall masts and billowing sails must have been so easy to see that it should have caused quite a stirring among the island’s natives. Yet, the islanders had never been exposed to anything like this before. They had never seen a large sailing ship or any vessel of this size in their lives.

Amazingly, the islanders honestly could not see the ships sitting on the horizon. The visual produced by something so new, so unusual, had no frame of reference and for that reason, the islanders did not see what you might have thought was so obvious. 

Wealth Building Guide
So now, I ask you this. As we show you financial tools, techniques, systems and concepts that are so new, so far from your frame of reference that you might not believe them to be possible, will you please remember the islanders. What we are going to show you is real. It is possible. And it can greatly enhance your life, if and only if, you are willing to see it! The Infinite Wealth System is built in part on your understanding of basic banking principles. Making extra money is nice, creating wealth is wonderful. Let's talk about building lifelong wealth.

Beware Financial Advisors - TV Style
There’s a financial guru on TV who is quite quick to tell people that if you have an extra $5,000 in cash to invest, that you should 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 the other 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 sometimes, her commission to invest it) is missing the opportunity to recapture the $34,500 going down the drain in interest payments.  Please make note of the wealth building term called - Recapture. You'll need to understand it well to begin building financial freedom.

Focus on $5,000 or $34,500
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're low risk and will return 2.78% this year and they’re guaranteed!”  Whoop-tee-doo! 

On the other hand, with you, as the proud owner of your own banking system calling the shots, you could possibly keep, 30, 50, 80% or more of that $34,500. That’s more like $9,000, $17,000, or $24,000 back in your pocket instead of $5-6,000. But, like the natives on the island, you might not even be able see this yet. Are you still thinking about the $5,000 to invest or the $34,500 you should simply keep?

Financial Webinars & Wealth Seminar California Style
To shift you're thinking from investing to wealth creation you will have to begin a wealth training program to undo your old ways of thinking. Check my blog again soon and we'll talk more about the banking concepts the wealthy use in building lifelong wealth.

To learn more, join us this Friday as we begin our first ever online Infinite Wealth System workshop.

Have a prosperous day!

Hire Your Children - Cheap Labor or Wealth Building Strategy?

Saturday, July 18, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
Can you see that future business man or women in your child's eyes? There are plenty of legitimate ways to bring your children into your wealth building strategy and give them a great business learning opportunity at the same time. With all of the wealth training and wealth coaching that I do one of the commonly overlooked tax savings tactics is to employ your children for the benefit of your family and your business.

Great Kids - Great Tax Deductions
In 2009 you can pay your child under 18 years of age up to $5700 which could be considered non-taxable income to you.  Hey, you were already going to give them the money anyway so why not pay them in a tax advantaged environment to keep a little more of that hard earned money in your pocket.

When structured properly, there are significant benefits to hiring your children through your company.

• Deduct what you pay them and turn it into nontaxable dollars
• Give them solid work experience
• Teach them respect for the money and how to manage it
• Teach children financial responsibility
• Teach the concept of building financial freedom early in life
• Once they qualify as employees they may receive additional benefits (which is more money you can deduct)

Here are some other benefits that can help you in building lifelong wealth:

•  Employee Gifts -You can give an employee $75 per year as a gift from the company whether it is for their birthday, Christmas or just to show them how much you appreciate the job they are doing. Children love these and it makes them work even harder. I mean who doesn't love a gift?
•  Snacks and Refreshments – Your employees need drinks and snacks to keep up their high levels of energy to get the work you need done. If your kids are employees this means them too! 
•  Supper Money – The IRS says that if your employees have to work later then usual on an occasional basis, your company can buy them dinner as an incentive to work those extra hours.
•  Travel – Now that they work for your company and you go on a business trip but want to take them, the company can pay for their travel too as long as you have some duties they need to help you with while on the trip.
•  Achievement Award – Need a way to write off those game stations that seem to need constant upgrading? Well the IRS lets your company give an Achievement award in the form of a tangible piece of property worth up to $400 per year for general achievements such as employee of the year, greatest team player etc… just one more incentive to keep those kids working harder.

Wealth Building Tips With a Family Twist
As with any tax saving plan or wealth building strategy, every individual is unique. Some of the ideas above may be perfect for you, some may not. The point is, when you know what to look for there are ample opportunities to reduce your tax liability and get more out of your business. The benefits of reducing your taxes are great but the benefits of seeing your children grow up with a clear sense of business and financial responsibility, is, oh, shall we use that great ad campaign motto again... PRICELESS!

Let me emphasize - every tax scenario is unique so the ideas I post here are just eye-openers! They may not work for everyone but everyone should know that these are legitimate ways to save on your taxes. There is no cost or obligation for you to call me and just chat about the various ways we can help you build wealth.

Learn more about creating a legacy of wealth in our upcoming online workshop - The Infinite Wealth System. Actually, you should bring your kids to the call!  It starts July 24th and you can participate from the comfort of your home!

Have a prosperous day!

Stop Buying Like a Poor Man

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by Gabby Huguenin
What the Wealthy Buy
Wealthy people buy things that build long-term wealth. Wealthy people buy assets, the types of things that go up in value and have the potential to generate income.

What the Poor Buy
Poor people think total financial freedom comes from winning the lottery or inheriting their rich uncle’s fortune. Poor people buy expenses, things that go down in value and never have the potential to generate income.

Wealth Building Tips
Stop buying without thinking. Rich people collect assets while poor people collect bills. Which will you collect today? Is financial education an asset or an expense?

UBS, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Suze Orman
There are plenty of companies out there like Morgan Stanley Smith Barney,  Merrill Lynch, UBS, Wachovia Securities and many others who offer products and services through some of the top financial advisors in the field. Yet, very few of these organizations provide anything close to the type of financial and wealth coaching we’ve built our reputation on.

Invest in Yourself

Wealth Classes is committed to showing you to take care of yourself and your finances. We don’t want you to become dependent on us we want you to learn from us and create your own economy.

So, check out Smith Barney, Suze Orman, UBS and all the rest but invest in YOURSELF first.  Then wealth building becomes a whole lot easier. Investing in your own financial knowledge is an asset nobody can take from you and will always appreciate in value.

Special Announcement Coming Soon!
Stay tuned for a very special announcement about an amazing wealth building program we will unveil shortly!

Have a prosperous day!
