Introduction
For many people, the subject of finance is scary stuff. Mention investments, stocks, shares, or bonds and they run for the hills. It doesn’t have to be that way. Everyone has the power to take their finances into their own hands and gain greater control over their lives. With this book, I aim to help you do just that.
This book is a no-nonsense, easy-to-follow guide for everyone who has ever been afraid of finance. In it you’ll find the tools to help you grow your money and increase your peace of mind, and you’ll find the confidence to achieve the things you’ve always dreamed of.
With a little research and commitment, everyone can make their money work harder for them. You don’t need special skills or particular talents to become rich. You just need to follow some simple rules for success—rules you’ll discover in this book. And with the right attitude, you’ll discover how to grow your money easily.
How to use this book
In this book, you will learn about the different types of investment—from paper assets to Real Estate, as well as how to assess and manage risk, set achievable goals, and even start your own business. We’ll meet some successful people and examine the decisions they made that helped them achieve success—including the skills they developed, which sectors they invested in, and how they approached the opportunities and problems that came their way.
Two of the most vital lessons you will learn are how to approach life with a positive attitude and how to develop the skills to handle whatever challenges come your way with confidence and ease. This is what Part 1 is all about. We’ll discover the key to a successful mindset and how to change the negative beliefs that hold you back from achieving your goals.
In Part 2, we’ll introduce you to some basic concepts behind investing, including risk, multiple streams of income, and the difference between speculation and investment.
Part 3 covers everything from different types of assets (which give you income) to the liabilities (costs) that come with these assets. We’ll introduce you to the stock market and some of the financial advisors that can help or hinder you along the way.
Part 4 delves into some of the theories the experts use—and why they don’t always deliver. Financial professionals love to try and predict the market—to determine which companies will grow; which will decline; and what products, projects, or firms will be “the next big thing.” Once you understand the theories, you can judge for yourself whether they’re any good.
Part 5 is a practical guide to investing. It’s for everyone, whether you’re young or old, wealthy or not. Everyone can benefit from allocating their money properly and starting a program of regular savings. You don’t have to be rich to get rich.
You’ll learn about starting your own business in Part 6. It’s a wonderfully rewarding way to earn income and leaves you free to be your own boss. When it comes to starting your own business, there are pitfalls to avoid and skills to learn, which is where we step in with some helpful hints to get you started off on the right foot.
Finally, at the end of the book, we’ll point you in the direction of financial papers, books, magazines, and websites that can give you the information you need to make the most informed choice about your investments.
And finally…
It is possible for everyone to grow their money successfully. With the right information and the right mindset, you can lead a better life, make better decisions, and reap the rewards of your investment. It’s a lot of fun, too! This book gives you the tools to help you move forward confidently and powerfully, achieve your goals, and kill your fear of finance once and for all.
We hope you enjoy the journey!
