Words of Wisdom From Loral Langemeier

In the words of Loral Langemeier :

If you believe that either of the presidential candidates is going to substantially change your financial future I’m here to tell you that they won’t.

Unless you are very rich or very poor it doesn’t make much of a financial difference who wins because the middle class will pay either way.

But the good news is that YOU are the one that can control the financial security for you and your family. YOU have to take control and stop waiting for the economy to turn around before you start your life again.

If you don’t know who Loral is, it’s worth finding out. She has a no-nonsense way of reaching the truth about creating prosperity. It’s partly esoteric but it’s mostly practical. Of course, in reality, they are really the same when you get right down to it. 

But the point she makes is so important. For most of us, creating our future isn’t dependent on politics. It may be affected by taxes and policies but mostly only at the margins. If you are making a limited income with few options, the policies may make a large impact as a percentage of your income. But if you break out of the income and asset level that you are at, the policies will have a smaller impact on your finances. That’s what this is all about. It’s about changing the way you think and live your life.

Are you stepping over dollars to pick up dimes? How would a change in your thinking affect your future income? How would changing your understanding and getting new skills propel you into another whole level of living?

Let me give you a for instance. If you are working in retail, food, and beverage or a large company, all that you can do is slowly move to higher levels of income while living under the uncertainty of not having control over decisions the company makes about pay, benefits or job security. However, if you were to enter into a profession where you could actually have your own business, it gives you the opportunity to grow to multiples of income rather than just your salary. If you have your own business, you can conceivably grow it to have multiple locations with multiple employees. That will have a substantial impact on your income.

Of course, not everyone has the drive or desire to have their own business or to grow it into something that’s bigger than their individual practice. Some people prefer to concentrate on becoming an expert at what they do and charging super high-end prices. That works as well although your income is always tied to work that you do directly. Still, a very good choice if you enjoy doing the work.

But the most important part is this. Waiting for an election or some other external event is only delaying getting started on the path to your prosperity. Every day that you put it off is another day of not moving closer to your goals. And the reality is that the longer you wait, the harder it is to get started and the less time (and energy) you will have to fulfill your dreams. So it’s up to you. Get started as soon as possible and see how much better life is when you are proactive instead of reactive to the political and economic environment.
