Reducing my working hours down..................

One of my aims this year was too reduce my hours that i need to work to about 2 hours a day then by mid year reduce it finally down to about 60 minutes,well its certainly is looking like this will be achieved on time.

The whole aim was re-organise and rather than work for money let money work for me,this in turn allows me that very rare commodity that we all strife for fredom to do what ever we like.Its not a easy task dont get me wrong but if you want it enough you will fullfil it.

My way of thinking is that while i am totally healthy andthis very short time that we are on this planet,if you have goals then anything can be achieved,but only you can do this.

Its a lovely sunny and crisp morning here so i feel its time for taking the dog out for his walk and enjoy the sun as its going too rain tomorrrow.

It just gets better...............

Well its the end of February and what a couple of stunning months its been,and the reason is the power of Compound Interest !!! it is without doubt one of the most powerful ways and possibly one of the easiest ways of creating wealth.

Of course its all about the rate of compounding and the time duration as well,but the longer you leave it the better,the best way to look at it would be like viewing a giant ski slope but in reverse,it starts out at 1st almost looking like its level but then over time the ski slope just starts going up and then the real excitement starts when you start seeing your investment going skywards.

Why do people who call themselves investors jusat save money in normal bank accounts and other savings accounts is beyond me,the returns they receive are paltry at best,remember its not about working for your money but letting the money work for you.

I will be doing some regular updates over the coming weeks,2014 has started out in over drive and can only get better.

One quick update in before Christmas..................

Its been a bit busy this last week as we fine tune the last of our current investment before the year end.

Our investment portfolio is diversifying so too reduce the risk of having all our eggs in one basket,so if anything did happen to any specific individual investment although no one likes to loose any money but at least you can carry on.

Looking forward to 2014 is going to be a very 'exciting' year as we have put in a few investment that should show us some pretty amazing returns,i wont go into these specific investments at the moment but rest assured the returns are going to be very pleasing for us and way above inflation.

As 2013 comes too a close........................

Well we are nearing the end of the year and what a up and down one it has been,well after we reached 50 odd websites at our peak,we decided too change direction and closed all the websites over the last 9 months,it was a shame to see so much work that we had put into these sites go but the returns on the investments in the site made it just not viable any longer.

I will say that over the last 5-6 we made some very good returns but it was good fun and a tremendous learning curve about online sales.

So we have been investing in property and land and widening our peer to peer lending which means that we are getting the same or higher returns as the websites but without any personal involvement or stress.

What is our investment strategy for 2014 well our plans are exactly the same basically as we are ending 2013 but just more so,if i was to be honest we started out wanting to grow ultra fast like the hare in the famous 'Hare and Tortoise' story but we have ended up like the Tortoise,will we succeed by going down the slower route ?? my answer is certainly yes.

I am not sure if we will be able to post again on the blog before Christmas,but if we dont i would like to wish you all a 'Merry Christmas' and a really 'Happy New Year'

New Womans clothing website...............

Just launched a brand new Womans Clothing and Accessories this is still being worked on as i am typing this but the potential we hope could be very good,the theory behind our way of thinking is clothing and beauty will always be in demand in good times and bad.

Woman always seem to find the money to look good as they feel it makes them feel good in side.

Once the website is finished then the hard work begins in promoting it,this is a ongoing job as if you stop when you get to the top in the search engine ranking then you can fall back very quickly if you stop.

Wish us luck on our new Venture.

Stamp investment update..........

Well we have bought a total of 6 high grade stamps today and these will be added to our stamp portfolio during the week,its a funny thing really when you look at these small pieces of paper that look just like scrap pieces of paper and you wonder how come they are worth so much.But its what they are and how scare they are that you are paying for. The condition of the stamps that you invest in is the all important key to how much they will rise in years to come and also trying to see what markets will be the next hot niche,about 6 years ago it was suggested that i invest in quality chinese stamps this i did and due to the massive wealth that has come to that area in recent years the returns on your stamp investments has just gone through the roof but another thing is when to exit that market and take profits as although they can rise the art is getting out before a down turn or they start to go off the boil. I still have most of my original portfolio as the price on most of them is still rising but over the last few years i have been approached with a few offers for certain stamps that i just could not refuse,its all about supply and demand and the demand for high grade stamps is still very strong.

Stamps and possibly a small wine investment.

Well this week we are looking at buying some high grade investment quality stamps and possibly but not sure about buying some wine the wine option is still something we need some advice on as we are not sure about this. Over the last 6 years we have been investing in a portfolio of stamps rather than a tradional pension scheme,this has been seen as a very wise investment as the same amount of money in a pension would be either worth the same as 6 years ago or infact may have fallen but the stamp portfolio has risen much much more than the rate of inflation and much better than sitting in a high rate deposit account. We are not talking about stamp collecting like when we are kids but high quality stamps.

This is a typical stamp that we would look at investing in with a buying price of £6250 which is not cheap but will for sure rise in value.
