The First Step to Financial Freedom

By Joel Wenger


If you've read my website and investing articles, you know that I love writing about making money with investing. And I love to help people understand that financial freedom isn't rocket science. Today, I want to share something a bit different with you...something that has been on my mind recently and that I think you need to hear.

Looking back on my experiences in the investing world, there is one concept that has made a huge impact on my results. Actually, it is one word...influence. Influence is the capability to change results based on wealth, talent, status, or respect. As investors, we are easy targets for people with status, talent, and wealth. And people combine those three traits in an attempt to gain our respect, and then influence our decisions.

Now imagine that you are the "influencer". You are affecting your quality of life based on your personal wealth, talent, and status. You are empowered to make investment decisions. Sounds good, right?

In order to be influential, you need to have the right information. That is your starting point. But collecting information, by itself, is not enough. You need to apply it in order to make things happen. I've been fortunate enough to use information I've found to influence my finances. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed watching my savings grow and having money left over at the end of each month.

And you know what? You are already capable of doing the very same thing! Your actions have a tremendous, life-changing influence on your personal and professional life. As proof, I've read many stories about regular people doing extraordinary things, all through the their ability to influence their surroundings.

I want to remind you of the power that you have to influence your life. Influence is not a new idea; in fact you already do it every single day. Children are influenced by your example and your coworkers are influenced by your attitude. So why not influence your personal finances and investments?

Go beyond thinking about investing, practice W.A.C.A.D.A.D. (Words Are Cheap, Deeds Are Dear), and exert some influence! You will never forget the first time you have money left over at the end of the month and don't know what to do with it.

Now that you know more about influence, I need you to help me do just that. My site has come a long way, but I am still just starting out. Consider clicking on the ads scattered around the site or sharing a link, in order to help me expand the influence of my safe investing message. Thank you for your support. It is because of people like you that I am able to have a site in the first place, and help those who are trying to help themselves.
