There are only 4 strategies for creating financial wealth in your life. They are broken down below:
Model 1 – This is where you exchange time for money. In Model 1 you work for an hour and get paid for an hour’s work which is how most jobs and most businesses operate. The problem with this strategy is that your constraints are time saturation; where you just can’t physically work anymore. This is the worst form of earning money but unfortunately 96% of the population are engaged solely in Model 1 strategies that offer them no leverage.
Model 2 – Here, you exchange your savings for the potential of creating more money. You save your hard earned, after tax income and after squirreling it away over the months and years you have enough of a nest egg to invest it shares or stocks, syndicated funds, mutual funds to earn you a return. This generally is a low involvement, lower return, passive income opportunity that requires very little knowledge, skill or expertise. Approximately only 3% of the population engage in Model 2, and again there is little or no leverage applicable to boost their returns.
Model 3 – Is where the strategist uses other people’s money for passive investing. This is a truly leveraged investment strategy that enables the investor to borrow money from a bank or other lender to buy investment property, shares etc. These are fixed, tangible assets which provide the opportunity for you to earn more money than you are paying out in interest to borrow it. Approximately 0.5% of the population utilise this truly leveraged model to generate significantly more wealth than they could without leverage. This model can be accessed by a large portion of the population as the start-up capital required is often relatively modest as the majority of funds are borrowed, and the tools and strategies you need to operate in this area are available to you through our teachings.
Model 4 – Operates on the basis that you create a network of people to generate money for you. This is a leveraged business model that uses an operating strategy to generate wealth without your personal involvement. Systematised franchise models that employ numerous staff to operate the business on the owner’s behalf is a good example of this model that accounts for the other 0.5% income generation models engaged in by the population. This model usually requires significant capital to buy into, or significant knowledge to operate and establish.
