Show Notes

1. Take responsibility
2. Do what you like
3. Do what you’re good at
4. Do what you are profitable at
5. Do what you can control
6. Do what’s right for you, stop conforming and being a lemming
7. Don’t let propaganda and fake main-stream media news think for you, think for yourself
8. Embrace creativity and those who are willing to take a chance.
9. Stop thinking small regardless of how large or small you live. Thinking is limitless and one year’s experience for 50 years is not the same as 50 years of experience packed into five to ten years
10. Stop wasting time following others.
11. Destroy the FOMO in your life.
12. Engage physically with strength, endurance, and flexibility training, with natural nutrition and hydration, and everything in moderation.
13. Power up your emotional wealth by knowing when to react, how to react, and having patience.
14. Fire up your intellectual wealth with a breadth of knowledge, depth of knowledge, and old fashion common sense.
15. Focus on partners, associates, and business acquaintances for improved financial wealth.
16. Then there are those who you call friends. Friends and business do not mix well.
17. It is easy to say buy low and sell high, but most buy high and sell low.
18. The same goofy views take place when you want professionals to be your friend; it does not work.
19. Professionals know and understand you, but they do not cross the line.
20. Professionals remain true fiduciaries, regardless of the situation.

We believe in and abide by true fiduciary-based principles, and do what we do, day in and day out.

No Easy Money

Making, spending, saving, investing, this money stuff isn’t easy. No kidding. We know it, understand it, and get it. The bottom line is this, if you are not financially independent, then you need to do one or a combination of three things: make more, spend less, adjust your expectations, Even though it’s easy for us, it’s not for 95% of the U.S. population. For every 100,000 Americans, there are approximately 295 medical doctors, 40 lawyers nationwide (788 in DC, 90 in New York, and 64 in Maryland), 203 CPAs, 400 accountants, 63 financial analysts, and 15 investment advisor representatives. We are a true fiduciary-based investment advisor and that makes us a very rare breed. If you are a bit confused as to what an investment advisor is, don’t worry, you’re at the right place. We’ll make sure you know what a true-fiduciary based investment advisor is and is not.
