Now that is a choice! Everybody wants to be a Busy Bee! Who on this earth wants to be a fly? We despise flies and admire bees. We help bees from the room and use Doom Flying Insect for flies! And most of us are bees. About 94% of us, in fact.
How many times have you heard the statement that only 6% of the population can afford to retire? Well, how many times have you heard that? Even SANLAM send my wife a letter stating that fact (obviously SANLAM believes my wife is a bee). We hear this statement more and more. At first it was only the network marketing fraternity that used this statistic in an effort to motivate people to join up. These days everybody, even the investment companies, use this figure freely.
So, it is very likely that you have heard this. But what have you done with this knowledge?
If you are a bee, you did more of the same, as SANLAM encouraged my wife to do. Apparently, if you put a swarm of bees into a bottle and turn the bottom towards the light, the bees will never stop flying towards the light. They will collide with the glass repeatedly, but will not learn and will not try anything new. They simply work harder in an effort to solve the problem. Will they ever get out in this manner? I leave that for you to decide … That is 94% of the population.
Flies, on the other hand, will fly towards the light, but if they bump the glass, they go in another direction and try again, and again, and again, until they eventually find the opening! Flies don’t work harder, they work smarter! And obviously they find a solution to the problem. That is 6% of the population that believe what the statistics say and find alternatives.
My aim is to bring you under The Blue Roof, to change you from a bee to a fly, form financial suicide to financial freedom. To make you an empowered and enlightened investor.
I am going to share with you from my experience as an investor, from my knowledge acquired by hours of joyfull study, from wisdom learned from numerous clients and people that I worked with. Over time I will show you why 94% of the population cannot even afford to dream about retirement and I will offer solutions to move you to the 6% group. Even if I don’t succeed in changing the statistics around, if I can make a difference in YOUR life, I will be very happy.
