Just Because You Are Doing More Doesn't Mean You are Getting A lot Done - Denzel Washington
Lately I have been personally watching you tube videos that are of inspiration and motivation. With a goal in mind to look at things through a different scope and to manifest positive thinking daily.
I found this above quote from Denzel on a you
tube mini clip and found some of his speeches to be very positive and moving.
You readers should consider to the same and
especially current entrepreneurs as many are in this entrepreneur game alone.
We need to thrive off of good things as often times entrepreneurs do not hear
of good feedback. Or get the tap on the shoulder like an employee would from
their boss or supervisor.
Many business owners do not get praise much so now we need to look at other avenues to keep the dream and mindset alive.
Keeping things lite and positive is very important to seeing you through peaks and valleys. Try to visualize success, joy and good things and tell the negative ones to go away. As this will help build your life up and your business. As Brett Wilson once said in a speech try and stay the course, and try not get too high or too low and stay even and keep going forward.

What's Trending? Businesses With Cash Flow & Hard Assets/Safe Haven's With the recent turmoil in stocks correcting and swinging around like a yo yo in a kids playground. Individuals & smart money investors are seeking out hard assets/ small businesses & franchises with cash flow. I receive hundreds a calls a month from buyers looking for cash flow and focused on hard assets. This sounds like a solid simple plan of attack and is working for a select group of smart money investors. Safe haven demand is at the highest level in a very long time. No one knows what will happen tomorrow or next month with the market or economy so why not take control your own future this way. If you are looking to diversify away from financial instruments and be in the drivers seat of your hard earned work. Why not start a side hustle? Or partner up to buy a franchise business in a great location? Or add onto your existing business portfolio and purchase another business. This I am seeing a demand in calls & especially over the past 6 months. I am a big fan of physical bullion gold and silver and have invested a great deal in this space over the past 5 years and returns are there. Here is a chart of Gold 5 year and one year as of MSN money app in USD funds. Gold Per Ounce 3405 USD +81.80 (+2.46%) Today USD PAST YEAR • AS OF MAY 6, 10:05 A.M. EDT +1,073.20 (+46.04%) USD PAST 5 YEARS • AS OF MAY 6, 10:06 A.M. EDT +1,659.10 (+94.98%) USD While the S +P index YTD to date is seeing a loss YTD YTD • AS OF MAY 6, 10:06 A.M. EDT -282.47 (-4.80%) 33.40 Silver Per Ounce +0.90 (+2.76%) Today USD PAST YEAR • AS OF MAY 6, 10:01 A.M. EDT +5.99 (+21.89%) USD YTD • AS OF MAY 6, 10:02 A.M. EDT +4.12 (+14.08%) This type of hard physical asset is yours only and holds no counter party risk. It is recommended to have safe storage in higher amounts & can always be sold and turned into a fiat currency anytime you wish. It's a flight for safety and a safe haven, and is working as world fiat dollars de-value with inflation chewing away slowly at it. One suggestion is to not do what everyone else does. In fact you may want to look at the opposite first. Then do your own due diligence. While I do not give out financial advice you are welcome to speak with your advisor who most likely will not talk about gold or silver or investing into a small business and will push there financials instruments so they can obtain a fee from there bank. So it is important to talk to many others in different fields. Try not to trust one source to park your cash or plan your retirement. It's just too risky to let it all ride on whim of a financial instrument and hope it keeps going up. As there is nothing better than controlling your own destiny in life. Master your own destiny is the way to go and work for it and build it they will come.
