Learn

Any kind of growth, personal development or change in perspective requires a very fundamental skill: learning. And the curiosity, failure and adaptability that can come out of the learning process are fundamental to understanding how to manage your finances more effectively.

Compound

If you want to make money, invest your money in places that capitalize on the compounding effect. This could mean opening a special bank account or investing in companies with a diverse product set. Allow one thing to lead to another and appreciate the fact that there are infinite possibilities. 

Innovate

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you just want the resources to make your family more financially independent. Whatever it is, the types of companies you invest in can make all the difference.

Leverage

Investments act as the fulcrum in finance. When we invest our hard-earned money in these things we hope that they become more valuable in the future, faster. 

However, sometimes a dollar invested equals a dollar out and this becomes self-limiting. What if we grabbed a financial lever and applied Archimedes’ philosophy? 

Risk

The biggest risk to losing your money isn’t your job status, the markets or even your spending habits. And, investing in companies that know how to leverage risk can be tremendously beneficial to your portfolio. Mitigating and managing your own risk while leveraging the risk others take on can benefit you tremendously.
