What's Your Score?

Credit scoring is a system creditors use to help determine whether to give you credit. It also may be used to help decide the terms you are offered or the rate you will pay for the loan.

Information about you and your credit experiences, like your bill-paying history, the number and type of accounts you have, whether you pay your bills by the date they’re due, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts, is collected from your credit report. Using a statistical program, creditors compare this information to the loan repayment history of consumers with similar profiles. For example, a credit scoring system awards points for each factor that helps predict who is most likely to repay a debt. A total number of points — a credit score — helps predict how creditworthy you are: how likely it is that you will repay a loan and make the payments when they’re due.

Some insurance companies also use credit report information, along with other factors, to help predict your likelihood of filing an insurance claim and the amount of the claim. They may consider this information when they decide whether to grant you insurance and the amount of the premium they charge. The credit scores insurance companies use sometimes are called “insurance scores” or “credit-based insurance scores.”

Your credit report is a key part of many credit scoring systems. That’s why it is critical to make sure your credit report is accurate. Federal law gives you the right to get a free copy of your credit reports from each of the three national credit reporting companies once every 12 months.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) also gives you the right to get your credit score from the national credit reporting companies. They are allowed to charge a reasonable fee for the score. When you buy your score, you often get information on how you can improve it.

Everything Has Its Price

Although being rich does have its price, I want to address the price one pays by choosing the path society tells you to take. The path that keeps people just poor enough just to have the illusion of security. The path that takes you through (maybe) college and to find a job. The path that a vast majority of people take.

And the reason the vast majority of people are miserable and poor.

What price does choosing this path cost? I would have to say; your freedom mostly. Freedom to live the life you want. The life of your dreams. As children we all had our dreams of what we wanted to be when we grew up. But somewhere along the line we were subtly convinced that life didn't matter any longer. What mattered was the false security of our parents and what society tell you. Our dreams have died.

So why on earth would you actually choose a path of slavery to a job that you hate and a life that falls short of your dreams? Why would you choose a path of constant struggle and worry? Why have you demonized money simply because you have none? Shouldn't you more be demonizing your educational choices that didn't teach you about how to use money as a tool. A tool that, once learned, will break those financial chains that bind you to your boss that treats you like shit. You all have them dont lie. Every person I know that has a job and a boss does nothing but piss and moan about them.

Why would you want to have such misery in your life?

Im addressing this article to myself just as much as to the reader. I too need to adjust my perception about things in my life - money included - because I KNOW I want more in life than I have. So do you my dear reader. I hope this churned up some feelings within your gut. That proves that you're alive and there is still hope for folks like us.

Its time to change our perceptions about things. Things that REALLY matter to us. To ignore the distractions and truly focus on what we want our lives to be like. Dare to dream the dreams of our youth once again. What do you really want? Remove all limiting beliefs and just dream about what you want, who you want to be and how you really want to live. It ALL has a price, just as the choices you have made until now have.

EVERYTHING has a price. Figure out what you want and what price it comes with. Then just figure out how to pay that price.

Pay Attention to The Inner Creatives

There comes a time in a persons life when they have an epiphany where they realize that everything is going to work itself out fine in line with the direction you have in your mind. A feeling of self confidence and clarity that is almost overwhelming starts to overtake you. You start to get excited like you haven't been in years.

That's where I'm at now. The voices in my head seem to be in tune with one another to the point where I have that "but of course" revelation. It's so simple why didn't I see it before. It's these types of things that make me believe that we put things together when we sleep. Our brains are going 24/7 and we might access the solutions to once perplexing issues if we just become aware.

2015 is going to be awesome. The last couple of years have been life changing and it seems that things are going in a positive direction. I will spend the next couple of weeks reflecting on things accomplished and planning my wants, needs and desires to be attained in the coming year. This ones gonna be epic!

Listening to your gut feelings or your instincts can help you achieve any outcome desired in life. All you got to do is PAY ATTENTION!

I hope to get to know you dear reader. As you get to know me. Please share this with others in your life who you think might enjoy this blog. In 2015 I am taking it to a new level and would appreciate any feedback.

We Have Been Duped

Robert Kiyosaki and his infamous book Rich Dad, Poor Dad lays out the reality of how we are being taught wrong concerning money. We are taught from birth to be slaves to money and society is the jailer. We need to start thinking outside the box that the world has kept us in.

I am quite offended on how we are trained to be obedient little workers bee's and conform with the status quo. To go with the flow. Everyone I know that works a job they hate complains about never having enough money. They get behind on their bills. They are devastated if an unexpected expense comes up. Why? What is it that separates the haves and the have nots?

Why do we live like we do? Ultimately it all boils down to being a choice so why do we choose to not live the life of our dreams?

Crazy right?

I Am A Rock - I Am An Island

Entrepreneurs are a breed of their own. 

While many people fantasize about breaking free from their 9-to-5 to be their own boss, few people actually follow through. This is because the entrepreneurial lifestyle might look great from the outside, but is filled with speedbumps, challenges, and plenty of stress.

The entrepreneurs who are successful on this rocky road, however, share a few traits in common. Thinking like an entrepreneur means leaving the beaten path and going off in new directions. It means leaving behind the fear of the unknown, because from now on, the unknown is where you’ll reside.

The entrepreneurial life isn’t for everyone. While you might dream about saying goodbye to your boss for good, the stresses of starting your own company solo might be worth a little annoyance to keep your day job.

A worker bee can kick back and relax, but entrepreneurs have to keep their eyes on the future at all times. Like a shark, they can never stop swimming or they’ll die.

I would like to build a network of entrepreneurs, whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned vet - CONTACT ME NOW!

Change Your Environment – Change Your Financial Future.

Don’t Speak The Language Of Poverty

How many hours do we spend in school learning financial wisdom?

Zero!

So where do you learn your financial habits?

From other adults, mainly your parents. If your parents spent foolishly, their actions taught you to spend foolishly. If your parents spent wisely, you would gravitate towards wisdom in finances.Did you grow up with the language of poverty that sounds like “we can’t afford it,” or “we don’t have the money” or “that’s for rich people, not us.” ?

All those statements are victimized, poverty statements. Change your language.

Eliminate Unhealthy Financial Traditions
Unhealthy traditions pass from one generation to the next. If you are serious about breaking yours, you can succeed. How?

• Make a decision: Do you like where you are financially? Are you tired of the pressure of debt? If so, decide today to do whatever it takes to achieve financial independence.
• Learn some new skills to replace the poor skills you learned from those around you.
• Repetition is the mother of skill. Through repetition you learned poor financial skills; through repetition you will learn great financial skills. Beware who you learn from. You should learn from someone who has a lot of money – not just someone who looks the part. Most people are far from reaching their goal of financial independence.

Understand The Power Of Repetition
We learned how to walk, talk and eat by watching those around us. Everything we know how to do, we learned – or were at least were influenced by those around us. Have you ever said, “I will never be like…” or swore to do things differently from your parents, only to find yourself saying and doing those exact things? History repeats itself! Decisions made without establishing new skills will lead to failure of the decisions becoming a reality.

A Solid Financial Foundation Starts Early Your children are always listening and watching, whether you realize it or not. Groom them for success instead of unintentionally grooming them for failure. Their success will come from you. When they learn while young, success becomes a part of their very fiber instead of hoping they will succeed they will be groomed to succeed!

Help someone else succeed, and you change your financial future.


Remember - You ARE what you think about.

I am looking to put together a community of like minded folks that still dare to dream and have the entrepreneurial heart of a lion. Contact me for details
