Financial Freedom For Doctors

Why choose network marketing as a route to financial freedom?

2009-03-17T23:48:28+00:00

I am going to divert topics for a moment, from property and the stockmarket to another area close to my heart....

Why choose network marketing as a route to financial freedom?

Robert Kiyosaki's book about networkmarketing, The Business School for
people who like Helping ,has been invaluable to me. Also Your First
Year in Network Marketing by Mark & Rene Yarnell.

My focus is currently on using network marketing to reach financial
freedom, then giving me the time freedom to get on with creating my
other 3 web businesses. In fact I am finding that I love the NWM just
as much as my own creations!

So why am I choosing NWM?

Like most of you, I want a flexible business with tax breaks and
travel opportunities (amazing opps there!). I am going to Utah in
August & have had opportunities to go to Calgary & Sydney...

I have loved my journey with the Moneygym & am amazed that I am still
surrounded by people who just do not get it, not having read Rich Dad
Poor Dad etc (Moneygymers excluded). This gives me an opportunity to
help people to "see it" and help them to take the steps they need to to reach financial
freedom.

I love helping people to see how they can take real steps to help
their own health and wellbeing, rather than what I do in general
practice all day, measuring & giving medicines, diagnosing (that's
fun) but with no time to discuss what matters. With USANA I have that -
everyone taking these is improving their health, often with tangible
benefits.

NWM has systems set up. I love systems as a route to financial freedom
& becoming more hands off things. That is what attracts me to the
internet as well of course.

NWM gives me guaranteed product quality (depending on the company of
course) - far better than I could possibly have if I was creating
supplements myself - I couldn't even go there.

The team work is fabulous - for those that go into it intending to be
a part of the team. I have people I can ring or skype several times
per day if I wish, and I speak to them several times a week.

The training is unparallelled. There are 4 weekly online training sessions for 2 hrs on Mondays, availble in 3 time zones. I am giving the product training talk to new
associates next Monday evening for example, telling them all about the
products we have. So I am teaching.

I am facing my fears daily, and that lets me grow. My fears of selling
& promoting (although I do that about statins etc every day...), my
fears of presenting on & off line...

Property Investing helping the Homeless

2009-03-11T23:34:21+00:00

My buddies at The Moneygym have organised a great property day on 21st march, to help us all to keep up with the changing face of property investment while supporting the homeless. They are hoping to donate £4500 (the total ticket sales) to The Big Issue.

My Wealth and business Coach, Judith Morgan, is an accountant (ex-) with a mission - to help as many people as possible find financial freedom by breaking out of tradditional and now out of date methods of living/ investing. I love her to bits!

The methods they are discussing on 21st are varied, including Rent to Own, Homes under th Hammer expert Martin Roberts, and investing in the Caribbean with Harlequin.

Owner - Occupiers - a changing trend in property ownership

2009-02-23T17:20:08+00:00

The current climate of renting versus owning property is in a huge state of flux at present.

Savills have sent out a great assessment of the current reduction in owner-occupation levels. Do contact them if you would like to be Emailed a PDF copy of the report.

This is great for buy to let property investors, as it will mean increased people wishing to rent. however, at the same time there will be more properties on the rental market.

Their key findings are:

	Although most households are still owner-occupiers, the number of them has actually been falling in recent years. They were 71% of all households in 2003 but 68% in 2008.
	The main reason behind this move away from owner-occupation was an increase in private sector renting at the expense of owner occupiers buying with a mortgage. They expect the rates of owner-occupation will continue to fall before stabilising at lower levels within the decade.
	Only 37% of all households are buying with a mortgage which means that 46% of owner occupied households own outright, with no mortgage. Owner-occupation is increasingly dominated by those with equity in their property rather than borrowing.
	The private rented sector has been expanding at an unprecedented rate since 1988, growing by an average annual rate of 3% per annum. By 2008, 14% of all English homes were privately rented (compared with 7% in 1989).

The property sector is ever changing, as with all investment sectors, but over time it will recover. Getting into property remains a high priority for me, and now is a perfect time to invest. Just waiting for my equity to be released to invest in another!

More news soon!

Creative Visualisation - What will YOU do when you have the money?

2008-12-31T00:02:07+00:00

One of the streams of income that I am developing for my financial future is in Network Marketing.

I will be posting on this aspect more over the coming months (when time allows), but for now here is a great idea.....

One of my upline at USANA Health Sciences had a great idea.

She sent round an Email asking us to take part in a competition - "All
you have to do is e-mail me with a list of 25 things you will do when
you reach a pin level of your choice
eg When I reach the level of Gold Director I will:
Give up my day job
Take the family skiiing
Buy a new car
etc"

Now a Gold director is when you are earning approximately £710 per
week in commissions and bonuses, with profit added on top. Eminently
achievable. So I thought this was a great piece of creative
visualisation.

My answer was:

When I reach the level of Gold Director I will:

Build up my Financial Freedom for Doctors business including property
investment
Take the kids to America on a ranch holliday near the Rockies
Be able to take a holiday abroad every year – see the world!
Set up even better support for my USANA team, with my blog postings on
supplements going out to preferred customers and associates alike
Re-landscape my garden
Clutter clear in my house – calm, free thinking at last!
Spend more quality time with my kids and be able to read them a bed-
time story even more often
Join the local health spa/ golf course for regular spa treatments &
swimming
Ride a cross country course (my life dream…)
Walk the dog twice a day for an hour – heaven!
Buy my properties in the US
Have enough bonuses for membership of my Naturally Healthy Pet website
to make it a no-brainer!
Publish my E-book series
Reduce my hours in general practice
Employ a regular gardener to keep the garden looking wonderful
Invest in the stock market for continuing growth
Invest in sales, marketing & PR for my internet businesses
Give £100,000 to charity – worldwide
Sponsor a child in a developing country
Go to the Philippines & start a business there
Appear on Oprah
Help thousands of pets worldwide to a healthier life
Inspire hundreds of diabetics and those with insulin resistance to
lose weight & stay healthy through the carbohydrate resetting
programme
Help hundreds of people to find financial and health freedom through
USANA
Do one of those big rides for charity – Mongolia perhaps….

Oh, do I really have to stop there!

Go on then, you guys - have a go! It's great fun!

Post a comment with your big ideas for financial freedom....

NHS Superannuation Scheme

2008-11-26T13:21:20+00:00

Hi there,

Life gets increasingly busy, doesn't it - I am sure you understand why as a GP I have not had as much time as I wished to post on my Financial Freedom blog!

Here is a note I had a while ago about our superannuation scheme - I personally had difficulty working out what benefits I would have as a part-time GP who may or may not be working in the NHS when I reach retirement age...

In April (2008) the ill-health retirement benefits available from the NHS Pension Scheme changed. They are now known as Tier 1 and Tier 2.

I am sure we have all had the information leaflet, but for those who haven't, here it is:

Wishing you all financial and time freedom soon!

Want to Earn Profits from Your Next Investment? Buy Repossessed Properties

2008-10-15T07:33:55+01:00

When it comes to property investment, repossessed properties are a great way to reaping substantial benefits especially when bought below market value. Here are some ways you can find repossessed properties to convert into property investments.

Have you been waiting for the right time to buy your next investment property? If so, there is no better time than to do it now. The reason? The number of repossessed properties put up for sale under the hammer is rising even higher than anticipated due to financial instability. As repossessions escalate, there will be more below market value properties available for your picking.

Why buy repossessed properties?

Lenders continue to shift repossessed properties and keep selling them at low prices so they can recover their funds as quickly as possible. Property investors will continuously be able to bag significant bargains which they can add to their portfolio.

Repossessions are normally preferred because they allow investors to earn a profit by purchasing them at low prices and reselling them at a higher price that matches current market values. As a sophisticated property investor, you know that this is the secret to a good investment. And when you purchase from distressed sellers who want a quick sale, you will even earn higher returns.

Where to find repossessed properties

There are a number of ways of finding repossessed properties. The most common are through:

* Advertisements. Check advertisements provided by estate agents. Some lenders transact through asset management firms who usually choose local estate agents to sell their properties for them. These adverts are typically placed in local property papers.

* Property auctions. One of the most popular alternatives for finding repossessed properties, property auctions offer hundreds to thousands of homes sold at prices lower than their true market value. Since lenders have a legal obligation towards their borrowers not to undersell their properties, they turn repossessed properties over to auction houses.

Buying below market value from distressed sellers

A distressed seller is a homeowner anxious to sell his house quickly - even at a price below the property's true market value. You may ask yourself why anyone would even dream of selling his property below market value. The reason is that these sellers may be:

* Embroiled in a situation where they need to sell their property quickly. Such situations may include a divorce, relocation, family and/or inheritance issues, death, or job matters.

* Frustrated because their properties have been sitting on the market for some time - some as long as four months - with no imminent sign of a sale; or,

* Engaged in other important pursuits and do not want to be bothered with property maintenance.

Property investors who have become successful in their line of business understand that the key to their achievement is to find bargain properties especially from distressed sellers. If you want to buy a property, rent it out and earn additional income, be sure to buy cheap - which is possible through repossessed properties.

Parmdeep Vadesha is a property investment expert and founder of the largest community of property entrepreneurs on the web who buy below market value properties from distressed homeowners facing repossession, divorce and bankruptcy. He writes a monthly newsletter for over 70,000 property investors worldwide - http://www.Property-System.com

2013: 25% Rise in House Prices

2008-08-02T15:45:29+01:00

2008 is the year of opportunity.

To those who are thinking of when to start planning to become financially free, here is another very interesting article that I would love to share with you.

Alison

The National Housing Federation has forecast that house prices in England & Wales will rise by 25% by 2013.

The federation states that while there will be a slight reduction in 2008 of 4.4% and a smaller reduction of 2.1% that house prices will quickly recover and will be rising by 9% in 2012 and 2013.

It states that one of the reasons for the growth bounce-back is that there is a great demand for housing and this demand has not diminished but in fact will grow. The demand will be partly prompted by the cutback of new houses on the market as house builder’s mothball and delay projects during the current housing uncertainty. People are also living longer and the high rate of divorce continues to prompt demand for even more housing as couples split up and need two homes instead of one.

The Federation predicts that the cost of an average home in England by 2013 will be £274,700.

Therefore investors need to consider 2008 as the window of opportunity to buy property as cheaply as possible. There are still a large number of motivated sellers but as soon as the market starts to recover then these sellers will be more tempted to wait or increase their prices. It is probably that the current buyer's market will only last for another 12 months so investors should consider buying now rather than paying higher prices in future years.

Forex Trading Guide

2008-07-22T05:23:56+01:00

Hi there, I found this excellent guide to Forex trading on the net, and enclose it for your perusal…

Ian Wright writes:

Like many people I am sure you are interested to know more about Forex trading. To put it bluntly Forex trading can be either one the best ways to make or lose LOTS of money. Only those who take the Forex market seriously will be able to make money with it in the long term.

The Forex trading market is beyond a doubt the worlds largest market where all exchanges happen instantaneously. Thus, trades are a key challenge for even the most knowledgeable Forex bankers and traders. They have to learn and consider many factors before performing even a single trade.

At first when currencies began to be traded openly, only large banks were allowed to perform trades. These days, due to the advent of internet trading and margin accounts almost anybody can begin Forex trading. This in turn, has added to the liquidity of the Forex market, and has resulted in a huge increase in the number of individuals who are now active in the market.

So, does this mean it is easy to earn money through Forex trading? To answer this we must consider a few things.

Some data by Forex brokers seems to suggest that 90 percent of traders end up of losing their capital, 5 percent of traders have been able to break even and only 5 percent of them attain steady beneficial results. Thus, it seems that trading successfully is no simple task.

However, if you can learn to be among the 5 percent who make consistent money you can do extremely well by using Forex trading. To help you in this end I have listed five key ways to improve your odds dramatically of making money in the Forex market.

1. Education

Successful traders are knowledgeable about the Forex market. They have chosen to educate themselves about every single vital detail of Forex trading. The best traders know that every trade that they perform is an opportunity to learn something new.

2. Forex Trading System

All of the profitable traders have a Forex trading system or strategy. Furthermore, they have the will power to stick strictly to that system, because the best traders know that by sticking with their system they stand a far greater chance of earning money.

3. Price Behavior

Knowledgeable and successful traders also include price behavior in their systems. They have learned that prices can change quickly and suddenly but are prepared to deal with those situations when they arrive.

4. Trading Psychology

First-rate traders are aware of psychological issues that affect the choices of other traders make when Forex trading. They know that people do not always act rationally, and as a result this can alter the expected outcome of a trade. This can help them both when deciding to enter into a trade or when to exit.

5. Money Management

This is far and away the most important factor that will determine whether or not you become a successful trader. Averting the hazard of financial ruin is the main concern of all top traders. This means both adequately funding your trading account (only with money you can afford to live without of course) and never entering into trades that can potentially wipe out all of your assets. Better to start trading small and always use stop-loss orders to guarantee that your first trades are not also your last.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of everything you need to know but it outlines some of the areas you need to consider before making even that first trade. Now you know that it is not easy to earn money in the Forex market, however it is achievable.

However, success does not happen overnight and anyone promising you that it can is trying to sell you snake oil. It is an ongoing processes not something you pick up in a weekend. Trading success depends on the trader, and how hard you are willing to work to achieve your Forex trading goals.

Also, remember to try to have some fun. The clearest sign that Forex trading is not for you is if you find the prospect of learning about how the Forex market works boring or dull. If this is the case you wont stick with it long enough to make money and you will be among the 90 percent who fail. Just remember these three important things: be disciplined in your trading habits, manage your money wisely and enjoy the experience of Forex trading.
