The Investment That Never Crashes
People who inherit money, win the lottery or accidentally become wealthy certainly enjoy their money. But they also get obsessed about keeping their money. Once the money is gone, it's gone. The stress can be deadly. Fortunately, you don't need this type of stress.
You might think your most valuable asset is your home, business, possessions or savings, but they are not. Unlike many people, you can lose everything you own and still prosper. You own a golden goose.
Conditions of Success
"The conditions of success are few and easily stated.
"The ability to hold a job depends, in the main, upon ability.
"One's intelligence is directly related to his ability. There is no such thing as being too smart. But there is such a thing as being too stupid." -- L. Ron Hubbard from the book The Problems of Work
Your ability to hold a job, to produce a valuable product or service, is your greatest asset. Your personal skill is your golden goose.
Because of your skills, the stock market can crash and burn. All your assets can be lost or stolen. You can even wake up broke in a strange city and you'll still be fine. All you do is start producing.
Thanks to Aesop's fable about the golden goose, you would never think of cutting open a goose if it started to lay golden eggs. You would take special care of that goose. You would get it the best goose feed, the most comfortable goose nests and the nicest goose ponds that money could buy.
Because your skills and abilities are your greatest asset, investing in your future is easy.
The Best Investment in the World
Professional investors are constantly searching for investments with three qualities:
1. The investment must be safe and secure.
2. It must produce extraordinary growth and income.
3. Opportunities to buy the investment must be everywhere.
Your best investment fits all three qualities.
1. No one can ruin your skills and abilities. Some idiot might try to kill your goose with criticism, attacks or back stabbing. Yet once you bounce back, your skills start to produce again. They cannot disappear.
2. The potential income from your golden goose is astonishing. For example, consider your education costs as an investment. Without your education, how much money would you earn per year?
For example, a dentist spends $90,000 on education and then earns $180,000 per year. He or she earns twice the education cost every year. How many stocks can do that?
As another example, say you learn a new sales technique. You pay $5,000 for the classes and travel costs. You come back to your business and increase your sales by just $1,000 per month. Your $12,000 annual return is 240%. Compare that to real estate investments!
You might complain that you only got one good idea from a $199 management seminar. But if that one idea improves your bottom line by just $33 per month, your yearly return is 50%. And it pays off year after year for the rest of your life. You only need a small improvement to get an excellent long-term return.
3. Skill-enhancement opportunities are all around you. Professional investors spend most of their time looking for golden geese. They are happy if just 60% of their investments make money.
You can add a specialty, improve a current skill or learn a new technique. You can improve your people skills, computer skills, finance control skills, staff management skills and so on. Seminars, books, consulting programs and more are everywhere. Because you get some improvement from each opportunity, you have lots of upside potential with no real risk.
The safest, most profitable investment decision you'll ever make is to invest in you.
