Diversify

Re: Diversification of Income
Over the years, I have mentored hundreds of people in financial principles, and taught thousands of others about financial foundations, personal success principles, economics, precious metals, and how our economy operates.
During that time I have found that all people generally fall into one of several groups.
The first group, usually around 3% of the population, are the financial elite. These people are financially empowered, control their money versus being controlled by their money, and have a large number of options available when it comes to things financial.
The second group, usually around 12% of the population, has not quite gotten to the point of total financial independence, but are on their way. Sometimes all these people are lacking is a vehicle, or the capital necessary to create a means of becoming a “3%’er”.
Lastly, we have the 85%. This group makes up the vast majority of people. We find that the 85% group is what we call ‘Financially Dis-empowered”. Typical of this group are high debt, little or no assets, no savings, un-diversified, and usually dependent on a single means of income.
The single income part is what we will be focusing on here.
You see, to me, aside from have a strong financial foundation in precious metals, one should also take a good look at their revenue sources.
We can look at our income sources like a table. If our table has only one leg, how stable is it? What if our table has two legs? Obviously, if a table has three or more legs, it is much more stable.
If you were to lose your primary source of income today, due to illness, injury, layoff, economic factors that cause a business to fail, or other things outside of your control, would you be able to meet your financial obligations through cashflow without selling off assets?
For most people, the answer is they would be able to last about three weeks before facing total financial chaos. If you can last longer than that, then you are far better off than the majority.
I have heard many definitions of wealth over the years, but by far my favorite comes from one of my mentors, and the definition is this: “Wealth is, how many months you can survive if all of your means of income stopped today”. In my own case, at the time I heard this and after measuring by that standard, it was a serious wake-up call.
So a true financial foundation is this: If you have a foundation (preferably in precious metals that have been proven to retain buying power over time versus cash or stock that is subject to short term market trends) that you can last on for several years if all sources of income stopped, then you are doing great.
On top of that, add to your foundation walls that are essentially multiple streams of income, so that if one of your income streams fail or slow down due to market conditions you are still able to live securely.
Some may think at this point ‘but I barely have time and energy to work a job, let alone create all these incomes streams you are talking about!’. To that I say, what one man can do, another man can do. I have done it, and so have many others. You simply need to learn how.
My colleagues in the bullion business have spent a great deal of time and capital setting up a global distribution system for a private line of 999.9 pure Swiss gold, and made it available to anyone who wants to market it.
