Download or read book 101 INVESTMENT and MONEY USE TIPS to AVOID LOSING Or WASTING YOUR MONEY c written by Barry P. Siegel and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tips that I present in this book derive from my personal experience over 40 years. As time has passed, it is incredible to me how many ways have been concocted to scam people of their money. Some of these scams are even government sanctioned, but nonetheless, the effect is the same: you can lose your money.Money is very easy to lose, but extremely hard to replace. Thus, these tips inform you of what not to do, of what to watch out for to mitigate loss or to prevent loss, of what you can do to enhance your wealth and financial freedom, and of what you can do to enjoy the money you have. To have money but not to know how to enjoy the comforts that money can provide only to end up with nothing even if you have money is no better than being wasteful with money to end up with having nothing. In some cases, I placed similar tips in sequence, and in other cases I purposely placed related tips in different places within this work. I did this in order to make you recall prior tips and to refer back to any prior tips in order to force you to refresh your memory!I suggest that you make your own index of those tips that are most relevant to you or highlight those tips so that you may refer to them later. If you note those tips that you consider most significant to you, you will reinforce a concept if you become uncertain about a matter. Additionally, if you suspect that you may face a situation for which you want to have an immediate reference, noting a tip or tips may aid your confidence when you confront an upcoming financial matter. Finally, this work is not all inclusive. I felt that too many tips become too cumbersome to remember and too difficult to locate. As you may have your own financial tips, I advocate that you should annotate them upon any blank pages in this book or upon a separate piece of paper that you can attach to this book for your personal information. I am confident, however, that I have furnished to you enough financial tips to help you act confidently to create for you a better financial future and greater success in financial dealings. Good luck!
Download or read book 101 Common Money Mistakes to Avoid written by Usiere Uko and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Money doesn't come with a user's manual. It is not a favourite topic at the dinner table. Many parents do not take time out to teach their children about money. Their parents did not teach them; hence many parents do not really have the skills to pass on to their children. Everybody is left to learn on the job. This makes us prone to avoidable money mistakes. History keeps repeating itself. We may be more educated and earn more than our parents but we end up making the same money mistakes. If we do not make a conscious effort to learn about money and acquire basic money management skills, we end up making the same mistakes they made.This handbook is inspired by a write up a friend sent me through social media. It contained 14 common money mistakes people make. There was a lot missing, so I set out to add to the list, till it grew past hundred. There are still more out there, but getting a handle of the few contained in this handbook can save you from financial pressure induced premature grey hair and sleepless nights.I have experienced financial pressure first hand and it is not a good place to be. It affects everything around you, including your health, concentration at work and relationship with family members. Most of the financial pressures we experience are self-inflicted. It simply arises from biting more than we can chew. By avoiding these money mistakes, you get to do more with less. It frees you to focus on what matters most - save and invest before spending. It empowers you to work with a budget towards achieving your financial goal. This is not a call to becoming a cheapskate by squirreling money away like Silas Manner; live poor and die rich. Far from it; it is about being smarter in handling money when you don't have much so that you escape the rat race cycle - earning to spend and living from paycheque to paycheque. Avoiding these mistakes helps you achieve your savings and investment goals, and better manage common risks we encounter in the world of business and investment.The chapters are arranged alphabetically and in sections for ease of reference. You don't need to go through this handbook sequentially from Chapter 1 to the end. You can start from sections that are more relevant to you. Again, you don't need to master all in one go. You may read several chapters but take it one lesson at a time. Some chapters may not be applicable to you immediately. Learning about it puts you in good stead when you eventually encounter those situations. This handbook also serves as a useful reference material as you navigate the world of money.

Download or read book The Simple Path to Wealth written by Jl Collins and published by Jl Collins LLC. This book was released on 2021-08-16 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the dark, bewildering, trap-infested jungle of misinformation and opaque riddles that is the world of investment, JL Collins is the fatherly wizard on the side of the path, offering a simple map, warm words of encouragement and the tools to forge your way through with confidence. You'll never find a wiser advisor with a bigger heart." -- Malachi Rempen: Filmmaker, cartoonist, author and self-described ruffian This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things-mostly about money and investing-she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical. "But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run. Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms. Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The simple approach I created for her and present now to you, is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other. Together we'll explore: Debt: Why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it. The importance of having F-you Money. How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth. Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works. What the stock market really is and how it really works. Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it. How to invest in a raging bull, or bear, market. Specific investments to implement these strategies. The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your age. How your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose it. How to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA and Roth accounts. TRFs (Target Retirement Funds), HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition. Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all. Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey. Why I don't recommend dollar cost averaging. What financial independence looks like and how to have your money support you. What the 4% rule is and how to use it to safely spend your wealth. The truth behind Social Security. A Case Study on how this all can be implemented in real life. Enjoy the read, and the journey!

Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Wouldn't it be great if someone could really explain to us-in plain and simple English-the basics we must know about investing in order to insure our financial freedom? At last, here's good news. Jargon-free and written for all investors-experienced, beginner, and everyone in between-The Investment Answer distills the process into just five decisions-five straightforward choices that can lead to safe and sound ways to manage your money.

Specifically: Should I invest on my own or seek help from an investment professional? How should I allocate my investments among stocks, bonds, and cash? Which specific asset classes within these broad categories should I include in my portfolio? Should I take an actively managed approach to investing, or follow a passive alternative? When should I sell assets and when should I buy more? In a world of fast-talking traders who believe that they can game the system and a market characterized by instability, this extraordinary and timely book offers guidance every investor should have.
