Building Your Business: How to Create a Rock-Solid Business Plan. Earning money is key to navigating your financial life.
Once you have a source of personal income, you spend your money on the basics: food and shelter.
In addition, as you become more entrenched in your career, profession, and job, you may have more opportunities to earn more income through advancement, developing a higher skill set, or other income opportunities you create for yourself.
Suppose you have funds left over from taking care of the basics with this additional disposable income. Therefore, you start to think about a newer vehicle, a bigger home, personal toys, and travel; the list becomes endless.
Is investing on your list?
Fun Purchases, Fun Money
When you have some extra money, I recommend turning part of your hard-earned cash into Fun Money; don’t break your bank.
Think “Investing” as one of your priority items and look at investments that help you earn actual returns; in other words, not the stock market volatility, where stocks go up and down. Of course, I am not asking you not to invest in the stock market. But, above all, ensure that any stocks you purchase have a dividend component.
In addition, having a dividend-paying stock gives you some protection. If the stock value dips below what you paid for it, you get a monthly or quarterly dividend that could offset the price you paid to the current price.

Below is a one-minute audio clip to give you a sample of the entire podcast show. In addition to discussing a business plan, we discuss the whole spectrum of purchasing your first investment real estate property on the podcast.
Build a Business Plan for You
Having had a corporate management position for much of my career, I was heavily involved in business planning.
Part of the business planning process involved a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, which we worked through several times a year.
What’s Good for the Goose, Is Good for the Gander?
When you are involved in corporate planning and management, what you are asked to do for your employer helps propel them to higher sales and profits.
The corporate foundation you help set and sustain through your employment with an organization brings your employer prosperity.
Why would you not implement the same planning for your own financial life?
Please take the time on Thursday to read my blog post and listen to my guest podcast as I write and discuss your financial health plan.
