All about investment

By Neil Frey

Getting an income tax refund back this year? Take some advise from one of my financial advisor acquaintances; use you tax refund to start that business venture. Sounds like commons sense right? I would say yes to that as well, but you'd be surprised how many people just spend their tax return on something that will only put them farther in debt.

Isn't one of our goals in life is to make sound decisions so that we can be financially independent? Isn't it our dream to not have to work for someone, to be able to wake up in the morning and YOU make the decisions of what is going to happen that day? Shouldn't our financial decisions reflect our dreams and goals? I say yes to all the statements above.

I have a very savvy entrepreneurial friend of mine who has one of those minds that is constantly thinking of ways to make life easier and more lucrative. When he has a good idea, or something to say, I usually listen to him. More times than not, his thoughts or ideas have come to fruition and have made him an extremely wealthy man. I have known this gentleman for almost ten years now. I knew him when he actually had a job that he had to work Monday thru Friday. Over the years, I watched him make decisions that seemed pretty risky at the time, only for him to come out on top with a big smile on his face. A few years ago, he did something that I thought was completely crazy; started a home based business as a multi level marketer. I have heard so many negative things about organizations like this, but after seeing his business grow; I had to eat crow.

About a year ago, I joined his organization called Carbon Copy Pro. Then I was just called Carbon Copy. You may or may not have heard of the organization. After a few short months, and with the help of my friend, I began making lots of money. I began to find friends that had the talent and know how to become successful in an organization like this. I became friends with a great financial advisor and have been friends with him ever since. In the past few years, we would meet for lunch and talk about how each was doing. He gives me tid-bits of insider information, and in turn, I buy his lunch. It's a fair trade in my opinion. Just a few weeks ago, was the most recent time we met for lunch. He was impressed with how well I was doing with my marketing campaigns. I told him that more people should try this, and even got him to think it over for himself. Once I told him what Carbon Copy Pro was all about, he told me that it was a sure winner. "With as little as it cost to get started, I'm surprised more people don't use their tax refund to start this business venture." He said. I couldn't agree more.

I'm not trying to sell you on anything, and I'm sorry that this sounds like a marketing pitch, but I, along with a few of my friends have been very successful with this. There is no better time than the present to get started. Don't waste your money on something that won't give you anything in return. Make your money work for you, not the other way around.
