Wealth Creation Strategies - Developing The Mindset Of A Wealth Creator

Wealth Creation Strategies - Developing The Mindset Of A Wealth Creator

Wealth creation strategies: Reaching the parallax of wealth creation is like reaching the top of a difficult mountain.

However with innovative methods and a shift in mindset, the once challenging trek to the top becomes a fair trip with paved roads, an overnight lodge, and some barbeque.

Equipping ourselves with the right wealth creation techniques will make tall orders turn into childish hurdles.

However, people mistake that creating wealth is a trivial matter. People wrongly assume that a few wise investments and a lot of hard work will make them wealthy. People thereby tend to underestimate the journey of creating wealth.

Wealth Creation Strategies

Wealth creation is not a random exercise. Using the analogy of a plant, we do not expect a beautiful plant to bloom as soon as you start throwing the seeds in your garden.

Mutual Funds - What Are Mutual Funds?

Mutual Funds - What Are Mutual Funds?

Mutual funds are very popular. In fact, they are the one of the most popular investments on the market today. What does that mean in numbers? There are over 10,000 different funds with over $17 trillion in investments!!

Total U.S. retirement assets were $17.0 trillion as of September 30, 2011, down 7.5 percent from the record high of $18.4 trillion in assets recorded as of June 30, 2011. The decline in retirement assets was driven in part by the drop in corporate equity values—for example, the S&P 500 index fell by 13.9 percent in the third quarter.

Account balances fell by less than stock indexes because of asset diversification and ongoing net inflows from retirement plan contributions. Retirement savings accounted for 36 percent of all household financial assets in the United States at the end of the third quarter of 2011.

Why are they so popular? For some, it is because of their great returns. Others like funds because they are easy to buy and sell. Still others like them because they are diversified and less risky.

A mutual fund raises money from investors to invest in stocks, bonds, and other securities. It is a package made up of several individual investments. When those investments gain or lose value, you gain or lose as well.

The unique visual theme park, aptly named Parc du Futuroscope, spans over 130 acres of land devoted to entertaining, and inadvertently educating, the millions of tourists that visit each year.

Built five miles north to the city of Poitiers, in France, Futuroscope was opened to public in 1987 and the park celebrated 20 years of its existence in 2007. With new exciting attractions added to the park’s already impressive range of visual themes, tourists are bound to have an enjoyable day when they visit.

Being a French theme park, most of the attractions are in French but those unable to understand the language are catered through infrared translation headsets which are provided for free if you leave your ID at the desk as a guarantee.

There are, however, some attractions that can only be enjoyed in French; one is The Forest of Dreams, which, in fact, is a laser show so being in French only is not a problem, as dreams are understandable in all languages alike.

The attractions use visual and audio affects to make you a part of the scene; the powerful hydraulic jacks used in The Race for Atlantis take you through the lost city at a high speed and you are sucked into the experience with the dome shaped screen around you, producing a 3D world that is made even more believable with the use of liquid crystal glasses that give the feel of an enchanting underwater setting.
