When you work, you are supplying something of value which could be your time, talent or products. In exchange for your efforts, your employer or customers are willing to pay you money.

This Little Investor Went to the Market

Investing, , , , , , , , , ,

There are several things to consider if you are thinking about investing. Where do you go to purchase an investment? What are all the available options? How do you know which is the right one? When is the best time to buy or sell an investment? Whom should you trust to give you advice? Why should you even invest your money at all?

It can be initially difficult to find answers to these questions. After all, you can’t just walk into an investment superstore, browse through the aisles, read the labels on the different products, ask the store attendant some questions, select the right option and pay for it at the checkout counter.

If investing was as easy as shopping, we would probably all be very wealthy!

Positive affirmation really works and I am grateful for these words of hope!” – Reader

Since the start of 2009, we have been focusing on the importance of having a positive outlook despite the negative economic forecasts. Some may argue that positivity can’t change reality, and that the global financial crisis will present serious challenges no matter what we say or believe.

Making a determined effort to concentrate on what you want to achieve in your life, instead of dwelling on your fears, is more than an exercise of faith. When you worry constantly about your problems, you are creating a spirit of despair, which is a negative force that prevents you from seeing a way out of your trouble.
