Independent Investor

Confidence is key.  The ability to claw your way out of the rut you are in.  We've all been there so don't think you are the only one.  Sometimes it even requires a life-changing radical impasse where you take a stand and say that enough, I've got to change the natural direction of my life and demonstrate the confidence to take control of your financial future.  This podcast will conclude season 3.  An inspired look at what motivates people to invest, what the attributes of a good investor are and a call to action to begin the deliberation on what is going to work for YOU, not someone else, not your neighbor or family member, but YOU!  Enjoy the content and consider subscribing to the Independent Investor Channel and visit my website at http://www.indpendentinvestorgroup.com or https://www.independentinvestorchannel.com

In decades of investing I've been able to water down the "big ugly" investing opportunity to defining a few key terms for yourself.  If you are willing to put a good faith effort into getting yourself going in investing, I'd invite you to listen to this podcast in it's entirety because for a certain few, it may have the power to change your life.  

The "Profile" defines the "style" of investing you wish to deploy.  Don't worry if you don't think you know anything; you don't!  Knowing everything isn't a pre-requisite to success in stock market investing and you probably know more than you think and it may be just what you need to get off on the right foot; that and a little help from I2!  

The "Path" or "strategy" aligns certain simple rule for you to follow, grow to love and over time will not deviate from.  

The "Product" or "stock" will be the final of the "P's" that I'll discuss in this podcast and it'll truly help you align the proper order of operations in entering into the mindset necessary to truly succeed at stock market investing!  

What an investor needs to know isn't necessarily what they think they know to succeed in investing.  Where we find our information through the sources we trust may also be suspect.  Do you find yourself comparing yourself to others?  Is investing any different?  Are you willing to re-align your priorities in life to sacrifice and give yourself the best chance of success in investing?  Can you name a few basic principles of investing and why they are important?  Do you feel like you have the level of desire necessary to succeed in investing?  Finally, do you think investing is easier in today's era or is it more difficult?  

This podcast will aim to address each of the aforementioned and put you in the driver's seat towards your own personal wealth building strategy.  Give it a shot...what really do you have to lose?  I hold myself to a fairly high standard in that I think if someone truly hears my message and needs a little inspiration aimed at empowering one investor at a time, you'll leave inspired, motivated and forever changed... 

A passionate introspective on how to live your life.  Don't apologize for your life.  It's ok to be vulnerable.  It's ok to care. It's ok to NOT be perfect,  it's not ok to pursue riches when the very pursuance of said ends requires you to give up on what is truly important in this life! Relationships, intimate relationships, spiritual health and well-being, dietary health, exercise, family, professional and financial freedom. The areas of focus don't allow us to just focus on one and fail to even spend one single second on the others.  Furthermore, all these know-it alls telling all to live should take a sniff of their own asses and realize it smells just as bad or even worse than the very people they are trying to influence.  Don't quit your day job.  Don't apologize for your life.  Make it the best you can and while many are getting caught up in the hype train, you'll be working on your mind, your companionship and your destiny!

Dirty money or the root of all evil.  Why is it that everyone out there is so convinced that they have all the answers for you but you seem to have no answers of your own?  Misconceptions about money often stem from what we hear and what we're influenced by.  It typically leads us to a place drastically far from the truth, especially in investing.  Our influences tell us that we can't make it or we don't make enough money or that if you don't have a specific number that somehow that's not enough either.  The older I get the more I realize that if the "idea" of "thought" didn't originate from me than it's probably not for me.  The water is muddy and it's that way for a reason.  The only one worth trusting as far as the advice you take in this life is YOU.  Everyone wants to follow and or trust that someone else won't let them down or won't lead them astray.  The truth is when it comes to redemption time and you are the one atoning for your life, what are you going to remember?  Did you follow or lead most of the time.  We will be influenced in this life as we are all creatures of habit and have a basic desire for human interaction and acceptance.  I'm just not of the mindset that this primitive behavior needs to play into the categories of personal spending discipline and or your financial program nor the relationship journey you chose to pursue.  It should be personal and validated by you and if anyone ever asks you to explain why you do it or why you did it a certain way, you won't hesitate in being prepared to explain just that.

What's your view of the stock market?  What's your definition of investing?  Does investing consume or compliment your life?  Do you focus on yourself or others most of the time?  Do you think the social media experience is positive or negative or both?  Name five ways to become a better person, better father, healthier, more mentally sound...

This podcast will provide an intimate look at social media, investing, influences and what it could potentially mean for you over time.  Investing is investing but what does that mean?  Is speculation investing?  Should I be speculating first or investing first?  What does it mean to be successful in this life?  Is it pursuing a number 100K?  250K? 1M?  When will the pursuit of that end be enough?  Are you willing to pursue that end at the cost of other potentially more fulfilling aspects of life...
