I'M REINCARNATED

I was dead. The illuminati killed me and I died. Seriously, it was around fall 2010 right after I sold my 1st cleaning business and my 1st barbershop went out of business. I started spending more time around my childhood friends, my business protege and very close friend went back to jail, and I was broke as a joke with a daughter in the womb. I hated the world and I wanted to blame the world for my failed business ventures. That's when I found the illuminati videos on YouTube. I spent all of my free time focusing on the illuminati, nwo, and any other conspiracies that I could find and they killed me. I was dead for a whole year. I went to work, had a beer for lunch, went back to work, and had more beer after that.

Fast forward to summer, 2011. I started to realize that this couldn't be life. I knew that I was interested in finding the meaning of life, but I would never have any time actually study it with a job, a wife, and kids to tend to. I needed to figure out how to make my money work for me. So, in looking for ways to make that happen, I was reintroduced to Rich Dad Poor Dad. That book, in conjunction with my new well-paying job, and a small family, rehabilitated my mindset.

Now, fast forward to today in fall 2014. I've graduated from Rich Dad Poor Dad to Think and Grow Rich (thanks to my brother Michael who's incarcerated), from Think and Grow Rich to The Secret (Law of Attraction), and from the secret to positive thinking and Earl Nightingale's Strangest Secret Ever. It's amazing because now that I live by these new principles, I'm suddenly excited about life again. I used to have this feeling back in 08/09 before I started my first business and Gina and I lived in our 1st place. I remember talking her to death in bed every night about how I hated going to sleep because it was so much to be done.

That was a man who was alive. That man is now reincarnated. I am up right now because I'm too excited to go to sleep. I posted something motivational on YouTube and Instagram, I sent out some business emails, I planned my day for tomorrow, and now I'm up because I'm too excited to go to sleep (hence why I'm updating a blog that I haven't written on for a while, and I don't even believe anyone will read)! So with it being 11:30pm on a Sunday night, a job to get up for at 5:45am, a building to clean directly after, followed by an investment club meeting, and ending with 2 kids chasing me around the house, and I still don't want to sleep, I think it's safe to say that I'm back. Not only back, but I am reincarnated.

Inexpensive Investment Ideas



If you're like me, you're always trying to come up with ways to come-up (make more money without performing any real physical labor). So, I decided I can share a couple of ideas that I came up with. Some of these are ideas I use, used, or plan to use; while others, I don't care to do myself but are still good. Each idea that I present will take some research and effort to be successful.

1.) Rental Properties - if you have decent credit and a couple grand to invest, there no excuse for not hopping on a rental property.

2.) Commercial Cleaning Franchise - Any franchise could probably work, but I say commercial cleaning franchises in particular because that's how I started. You'll see plenty of blogs and things online about how cleaning franchises are ripoffs, but I know personally they are legitimate businesses.

3.) Stocks - This is a very broad topic. You could get paid dividends quarterly, re-invest dividends, or try to play the buy and sell game.

4.) Blogs/Youtube/Websites etc. - With websites and blogs you can earn money renting ad space but the most common way to make money is the companies like Adsense that pay you when someone clicks an add on your site. Youtube has a similar incentive and also has a program that pays you for video views.

5.) Flipping Cars - Simply put, you can buy a decent car at a low price from an auction or private seller, fix it up, and try and sell the car for two or three times as much as you paid for it.

6.) Vending Machines - Get a membership at a wholesale club (i.e. BJ's, Sam's Club), rack up on snacks and drinks, and collect the money. A friend of mine brings in about $500 a month off of one vending machine, so imagine having five of them.

7.) Ice Cream Truck - Same idea as the vending machine. A good idea would be to park at a factory or other heavy employed place during their lunches and breaks to earn more money.

8.) Flea Market Retail - Again, same idea but, assumably with bigger products like clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.

9.) Paper Route Business Owner - You could get multiple big paper routes and sub-contract them out. To ensure that your sub-contractors aren't slacking, you could randomly check behind them and call your customers to follow up on the service.

10.) MLMs - Finally, Multi-level Marketing (or MLM) companies could work for you. Some people call them scams, some people say they aren't, I say it's only one way to really find out. I know one guy did it, he said he liked it, but he isn't doing it anymore so... I'm thinking he just doesn't want to admit it's a waste because he tried to get me to join before, but you never know.

Wind Energy May Be The Future

Sauer Energy Inc. is a developing company that investors may want to take a good long look at. They are the leader of the new wind energy era, they are only about two years old, and their stock is rising fast. I'm sold on it so far, but research it for yourself here.
