Dan Schwabel interviews Robert Kiyosaki: Be Humble and keep Learning!

Social Media has even caused the Guru’s to be humble and start learning again. In fact Robert Kiyosaki states that he spends about $200,000.00 a month managing his social media presence. He mentions how crucial it is to keep learning. The fastest learners and the most humble seem to always win.

Focus on Children’s Rights: UNICEF Launches Film Festival and Photography Exhibit

Focus on children’s rights: UNICEF launches photo exhibit and film festival

NEW YORK, USA., 4 November 2009 – As part of the run-up to 20 November, the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman yesterday introduced a photo exhibit and opened a documentary film festival with a special screening at UNICEF headquarters in New York.

When children’s rights are violated with abuse and neglect we are obligated as a society to come together and fight for them.  UNICEF’s launch of the exhibit in this article represents just that.   A  force that will make reversible  impact on the tragedy occurring worldwide.  The BIGGER the problem the BIGGER the force needed to be impactful.  Children’s rights are as worthy of a cause to fight  for as  any cancer or social diversity project.  I am proud of UNICEF and encourage those that are not completely aware of the child-trafficking epidemic world-wide and  in this country;  to stand up and do their part whatever that may be;  to stop such acts against children and our future.

Top 5 Real Estate Tips

There are a lot of myths about property investing.  In this article I will give you the top 5 real estate tips that you will need when investing.  Many of these real estate tips will be contrary to what you have thought and that’s why I am offering them to you.  I hope they help to enlighten you in your future ventures.

Real Estate Tips #1

You don’t have to be a seasoned businessperson to invest.  Having business experience can be a big plus in this game but it’s no requirement.  Many blue collar people fool themselves into thinking they can’t become investors simply because they aren’t business people.  The truth is that the confidence you need to win in real estate should come from solid business deals that you make.  A great deal is all the confidence and business savy you need to convince a loan officer or mortgage broker.

Real Estate Tips #2

Knowing a lot about real estate is not exactly a requirement to start becoming a investor.  That may sound like a pretty contradictory thing to say but let me explain.  Everyone starts in the same place.  The idea that you must be an expert to start investing is false.  You need to just get up one day and start.  The only way to become a true expert is through experience.

Real Estate Tips #3

Knowing someone in this business can be very benificial.  It is by no means a requirement for success but it can help out.  It’s more about setting and meeting goals, assembling your own team, and just doing things that will get you around to meeting contacts.  People will come and go and some may stick around, but knowing people can help a lot.

Real Estate Tips #4

Starting big can be a lot more helpful then starting small.  I here people in the media, so called “experts, try to give advice on investing, and one of the more common pieces I hear pertaining to all investing is that starting small is the safest way to invest.  Well, it may be the safest most risk free method but it’s also the least rewarding by far.  If there isn’t risk involved, then there is not going to be much reward.  Ever here the old phrase “No pain, No game”?  Well, it’s true.  Do yourself a favor and don’t be afraid to go for the big deals.  What really matters is that the deal makes sense and will work, not the size.

Real Estate Tips #5

Probably the best tip I can give you here today is that you don’t have to be rich to invest in properties.  This is a huge myth.  Most people say things like this to themselves as an excuse not to get out there and make something of themselves.  This is not like saving for your first home.  This is a business.  You are going to be making revenue and that revenue is going to be paying off mortgages that you will get to pay for your investments.  Don’t worry about money.  Your going to be borrowing everything anyways.

Alright, maybe I should have called some of these myths, but I think the best tips are the ones that debunk the lies you here about investing.  Remember to keep your wits and don’t let “common knowledge” guide you.  Often times “common knowledge” is bad advice.  If you want a fantastic guide on real estate investing and tips for anyone, go to my website called Blue Collar Real Estate.

Money Smart Mom

Money Smart Mom is the name of this budgeting Super Star Mom’s website.  Love the envelope idea mentioned by the anchor on CNBC while interviewing her.  Putting cash into envelops and only spending the amount allowed within the envelope is a great way to stay on budget.  Try it!
