Most of us depend on our jobs to pay the bills. I know that sounds like a “duh” statement, but let’s just get it out there. We depend on our jobs to put money in our pocket. If the job disappears, so does the money. I call that type of earning (the kind of earning that I depended on for many years) “One-Time Cash”. 
A lot of times, we need motivation to act. I mentioned in a previous post that we all need a “reason why” that motivated us. That can be something positive that we want to move towards or it can be something negative we want to move away from. Today, I wanted to share with you what scared me into taking action. 
As you might know, over the years I have produced a variety of programs to help folks make money with real estate. Each program focuses on a different method, and I have heard so many success stories from those who have purchased them. From time to time, people ask me to explain a little about my programs – what the principles and methods behind each one are and how each program can be used to make money. So I thought that I would take a minute today and give a brief overview of some of my most popular programs. 
Some of my recent posts here about methods for stock investing have gotten a lot of attention, and I’m glad. But have you ever wondered how to evaluate whether or not a stock is really worth your time and money? How can you set limits in case a stock drops in value and how can you recognize a good deal? Here’s some great info about setting limits and determining risks for investing in stocks, from investopedia.com:
When you are planning for retirement, you have to try and take advantage of all the tax strategies out there. One of the newest tools is a ROTH IRA account. Much like a traditional IRA, a ROTH IRA lets you contribute over the years. But the difference is that you contribute after tax dollars, which means you don’t pay any taxes when you make withdrawals in the future. While I don’t think that ROTH IRAs are a one-size-fits-all solution for retirement planning, I don’t see anything wrong with their being PART of your plan. And if you can avoid paying taxes on future withdrawals, then that means you will have a better idea of how much buying power you are really setting aside. 
While most of us tend to focus on local, smaller businesses and investments, but we recognize the fact that we don’t live in a vacuum. What happens on one side of the country affects those living on the opposite coast. Laws passed in Washington D.C. can change the way we do business. That’s why Forevercashers do well to pay attention to economic indicators. “Economic indicators” are numbers used by experts to track the health and performance of the economy. They may be seen in the form of a country’s GDP, a new job report, or even national debt.
Being a leader – whether we are talking about in your company, community, or any other group setting – requires a very specific skillet. But leadership skills are not genetic. Like anything else, they have to be learned. On microsoft.com, I came across some great advice for being a leader. Here was a point that really hit home: 
Jim Cramer is the host of CNBC’s hit show “Mad Money”. I like his spirited delivery, but also I like that the guy knows what he’s talking about. He talks honestly about his own mistakes and learning process, and he shares his in-depth and professional analysis with his audience. Jim has a list of rules for investing, and there was one that I particularly liked: “Know what you own”. Thestreet.com told the story behind Jim’s rule this way: 

Once you have invested in a business, your goal should be to manage it properly. Ideally, you should have a trustworthy manager taking care of the day to day stuff, letting you focus on streamlining the process. In a recent podcast posted to their website, NPR’s...
