The Right to Be Rich

WHATEVER MAY BE SAID IN PRAISE OF POVERTY, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No one can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money, for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.

A person develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things. Therefore, the basis of all advancement must be the science of getting rich. The object of all life is development, and everything that lives have an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.

A person’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical involvement or in other words, his right to be rich.

I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way. To be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little. No one ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The purpose of nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life, and everyone should have all that can contribute to the power, elegance, beauty, and richness of life. To be content with less is sinful.

The person who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich, and no person who has not plenty of money can have all he wants. Life has advanced so far and Read the rest of this entry »

What Does It Mean to Be Average?

Five years ago, it was estimated that the average 50-year-old American had a net worth of zero. Consider what that means. It means that someone has worked for 25 or more years and has been able to accumulate nothing. Of course, that’s an average; so for everyone who has assets that exceed their debt, there is someone who owes more than they own. At 50 years of age, they have another 15 years or so to work. A lot has to change if they want to recover from where they are now. They have to reverse the effects of 25 years of work in just 15 more years of work.

Last year, a new study was done. It’s now estimated that an average 50-year-old American has a net worth of minus $7,000! It’s going the wrong way!

The conventional wisdom for the average person just doesn’t work anymore. If you aren’t average, or don’t want to get those average results (owing more than you own), then it means that you’re ready to learn the secrets of tax-advantaged wealth building that the rich know

Disadvantages of going solo

You can fail and lose your money as well as the money your friends or relatives may have invested in your business.

. You will be working alone, and time for family and friends may become difficult to find.

. Your income may be uncertain and sometimes it could fluctuate enormously as a result of factors that you cannot control.

. You will face the unrelenting pressure of having to make decisions and solve problems for which there are no clear solutions.

. You will still have a boss—in fact, you will have many bosses, including customers, suppliers, government agencies and perhaps your bank manager.

. You may eventually hate your business in the same way other people hate their job.

The prospect of going solo should not be regarded as an escape route from some other aspect of your life. It is important to consider the pros and cons carefully until you feel confident that you are genuinely committed to creating a successful business.

Ten percent of the self-made millionaires in America are men or women who have joined large corporations, or companies that became large, and worked for these companies for many years. They usually worked hard, were promoted and paid increasingly well, earned stock options, bonuses and profit sharing, and as a result of holding onto that money, became millionaires and multi-millionaires.

The Seattle area is famous for having so many —Microsoft millionaires,“ people who went to work for Microsoft in the 1970‘s and 1980‘s, sometimes as secretaries and programmers, received stock options, and became wealthy when they exercised them. Many senior executives receive bonuses and profit-sharing worth many millions in a single year. Working for a large company that grows, pays well and shares its profits is a major source of wealth in America.

Many executives have stayed with those corporations for many years, have risen to positions of seniority, are paid extremely well, are given stock options, profit sharing and bonuses, and as a result of holding on to the money, they became millionaires.

Directv do some revolution with the cheaper monthly fee, we can receive every updated news and others good programs. This revolution should be doing by most of television company because the competition has running tight and the public become selective customer. If they don’t want to close the company, they have to follow the market rule and demand. Every improvement service will help public to choose the favorite program and can absorb the advertising to join into the program. This is a benefit of service result from provider because actually nothing is free in television program.
