What did your parents tell you to do? What advice have you received from them that you've bought into? Your mom and dad were your first mentors. You looked up to them because you thought they knew what they were doing. They taught you that things are scarce, that you must concentrate your energies to save, that you've got to buy a home and not rent, and that you must go to college, right? So, you inherit their mistakes. Your mama is operating with some old ideas. You don't save money, you use money. You're sold an idea on college because it used to be the path to the middle class. Your parents taught you ideas that you can't have, that you need to retreat, and that strangers are dangerous.

Learn from their mistakes and learn from your own successes. Instead of what your parents told you, here's what's been successful for me:

1) Invest in yourself first. This will allow you to increase your income. 2) Invest in business second. Wealth is all about creating more and more income, not saving. 3) Invest in other investments that produce income. At some point you need passive income that works for you while you sleep.

How do you go to the next level? Whether you want to go from 25K to 50K, or go from 200K to 400K, it's not about working harder. There are people that work less hard than you do who make 100X what you make. You're not going to save your way to prosperity; you have to make the decision to make more money. You must learn to hate where you're at in life. Stop hating on others and start hating on yourself so that you keep improving yourself! You need to take time out of the equation. You're going to make 50K this year and next year, but what could you do today to take time out of the equation and make that second 50K that you're going to make next year anyway, and make it this year? Don't abandon your first flow of income. Too many people look for the next big thing and forget about what is already making them money. Always get better at the first thing you do: earning income. Think creatively to earn money. Remember that there is a direct relationship between time and money—they are connected. What do they have in common? If you want more money, you really want more time. Speed is the new big. You need to either go half as far or twice as fast. If you could have more of time or money, which of them would you choose? Time is money. Time is distance / speed, so if you want to get rich you have to do more with your time!

Stocks, franchises, REITs, bonds, IRA's, 401K's—these are all places where people make investments with their dollars. To invest means to expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit or material result by putting it into financial schemes, shares, or property, or by using it to develop a commercial venture. You have to write a check, and the goal is not to break even like so many businesses do.

Money desires attention and money follows attention. You will not get wealthy by mistake. If you want an investment to go up, have control in it. Be next to it, don't ignore it. Or have a partnership with someone who is more invested in it than you are. If you have distance and time between you and your money, you don't have an investment you have a gamble. Unless if you're rich, you should have drips every month that remind you what you're making from your investment.

The truth is, Bank of America will not lend you money to buy stock in Bank of America, because they know it's a bad investment. Go to https://cardonecapital.com/ to learn more about what I consider the best investment you can make today.
