When you think about it, a lot of the big things we invest serious money in don’t give us a good return on our investment.
For example - cars.
Of course we need them in our modern world but as soon as we buy a car its immediately worth less and it continues to depreciate every day.
Then it starts to cost us money so we get rid and buy another
one - the process repeats itself…
The same goes for most of the consumables we buy.
“Normal” savings and investments hopefully grow - very slowly over time - but can be wiped out overnight when the economy takes one of its regular dips.
(And there’s another one on its way)
Property is probably the biggest thing any of us will ever invest in and usually over a very long period will increase in value.
Again that’s down to circumstances we
have no control over.
And TIMING - More on that in a minute….
When I think about this, the best investments I have ever made have been in self education.
Yes
school and college gave me a good general education that helped me get jobs and earn a living
But the biggest payoffs have come from highly targeted education I’ve paid for myself and property:
Guitar lessons, correspondence courses in sound engineering and teaching English, books on
Photography, self development, and music theory……
Most recently its been the investments I made in learning digital marketing and all the related skill sets that are relevant in todays fast changing world.
Now when I invest in business equipment, tools and resources, its from
an informed place - so they pay for themselves many times over.
The right sort of education (Up to date education that’s suited to the times) NEVER depreciates.
Now the TIMING part…
I nervously bought my first property - a little 1 bed flat in Glasgow - when I was 29. I stayed there for 13 years during which time I met my partner and she moved in.
She has a flair for design so we made some nice improvements over the years and sold it when it got too small for
us and all our stuff.
The TIMING was perfect.
We made a huge profit on it because the market was crazy at the time - just before the 2008 recession
Of course this meant that our next property cost more but we did the same thing - improved it hugely over the next 8 years.
When we sold that 2 years ago we made a profit again - about one fifth of profit we made on the first one as property prices had dived along with the economy.
But that profit was added to the original much bigger profit from the first one which came back to us and which we reinvested into our current property - which again we have vastly improved.
So this is an ongoing process which has served us well and will continue to do so.
But it’s taken over 20 years.
When I invested in my education with SFM and DEA it was with a long term mindset.
Again - as I mentioned in yesterday’s video - TIMING was key to this.
I got in when the company was new and when they were incentivising business partners who moved quickly.
As they are doing again now - for the last TIME.
It’s still to my mind the best investment a person who wants to profit from these amazing times could make
But right now and until September that investment
will:
A. Cost considerably less
B. Offer considerably higher payback
As another example - because I
got the TIMING right I have made more profit from this investment in under 4 years than I made in 20 years on properties.
And I know that it will continue to do so for the rest of my days.
I’ve seen enough in the last 4
years to confidently predict that the education and partnership opportunities offered by SFM and DEA will be the best investment you ever make.
But make up your own mind now when the TIMING is perfect - with a no risk, completely transparent
