Should you start investing during the pandemic? 

Tatiana and I get asked this question a lot. If you have an emergency fund and you have set long-term financial goals for your future, now is a great time to start investing your money. The sooner that you start investing, the sooner you can achieve financial freedom. It's that simple.

If you've been thinking for a while that you want to grow your savings but you don't know how to go about doing it, you'll want to listen to Tatiana. Here is a sneak peek of some of the questions that I asked her in our interview together. Let's dive in!

Can you share how you got started with investing?

I had money set aside from my business that was not doing anything for me. In short, I wanted to make my money work for me because I know that's how you accumulate massive wealth. You want to use the money that you earn to make more money.

Before I started investing it was important to me that I studied the habits of the wealthiest people in the world. The common denominator amongst all of them was that they were investors. I read as many investing books as I could and watched YouTube videos on investing. Doing so helped me learn the basic principles of investing.

The more I learned, the more I realized that there was so much more to learn!

This reality made me feel even more intimidated. However, I quickly snapped out of this thinking trap and reminded myself that time is money. When I got started I understood that investing would be a life-long journey of learning.

I opened up a brokerage account and sent a lump sum of money there. From that point, I had to decide how I was going to invest that money. As a younger person, I know that I can make riskier decisions with my investments because I have time on my side.

I decided to start investing in index funds. With index funds, I was able to invest in a whole fund of companies and diversify my money. One of the first investments that I made was in the Vanguard S&P 500 (VOO). I like this index fund because it is comprised of the top 500 companies in the U.S.

The money that I invest into this index fund is spread out amongst all 500 companies. This is a smart way of mitigating your risk. I also decided to invest in individual stocks, like Shopify and Tesla.

In terms of the investments that you've made over the last few years, what were some of the best ones?

The S&P 500 was a great investment to make. I make good dividends from that. However, the dividend-paying stocks are my favorite. This is truly passive income.

Every month I'm making thousands of dollars in passive income.

The money that I make from those dividends is set up on a drip so that I'm reinvesting back into those stocks. This ensures that my money continues to grow. In my investment portfolio, my highest returns have been from Tesla and Shopify. That's because I invested a lot of money into those stocks when we experienced the stock market crash back in March.

What is your investing strategy?

I used to check the markets daily but I've been slacking as of late because the markets are so high. For now, I am holding onto cash. I'm expecting that the market is going to drop at some point because a lot of companies are overvalued.

What are some companies that you invest in?

I invest in Amazon. Not only did I get to benefit from building a business on Amazon, but I also get to take part in their growth by investing in the company itself. Netflix, Google, and Alibaba have also been great investments.

I like to invest in banks, especially Canadian banks, as they pay out dividends, as well as waste management companies. If there is an economic collapse, I know that these kinds of companies will be stable, long-term.

What are your thoughts about cryptocurrency and investing in Bitcoin?

I started investing in cryptocurrencies back in 2018. Recently there has been a surge in the price of Bitcoin. This is why I've been investing more money into growth ETFs, like the Purpose Bitcoin ETF (BTCC-U.TO). Also, I recently started investing in Coinbase.

I don't invest a huge percentage of my portfolio in Bitcoin.

This is money that I am okay with losing. However, I also know that investing in Bitcoin could make me a fortune. Either way. I'm comfortable with the risk.

This is how Tatiana James built a multi-million dollar stock investment portfolio!

If you want to learn more about Tatiana and her work, I encourage you to subscribe to her YouTube channel and follow her on Instagram.

Everyone that we know who is now an avid investor says that they wish they started investing sooner.

Regardless of how much money you have to invest, the key to making money with investing is to adopt a long-term strategy. In the words of the billionaire investor Warren Buffett, “If you aren't thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don't even think about owning it for 10 minutes.”

Rudy Mawer is a world-renown celebrity trainer.

When people need results, they come to Rudy. He has consulted for the US Navy Deep Sea Divers, NBA Athletes, Hollywood Celebs, MLB Baseball, WWE Wrestlers, Gold Medalists, and Pro Bodybuilders.

Here is a sneak peek of my interview with Rudy Mawer where we talk about how he went from being a personal trainer to a multi-millionaire entrepreneur by 26 years old.

Do you mind sharing with people how you became a successful online entrepreneur?

I started as a personal trainer. It's fair to say that I had a big passion for my industry and what I taught. I really wanted to help more people. Obviously, my entrepreneurial brain wanted to make more money and create a life of freedom. Over time, I became very good at my craft and offered a great service.

I got a Masters Degree in Exercise Science and worked with celebrities, gold medalists and elite athletes. However, I still wasn't having the impact or making the money I wanted. I knew that unless I got a Ph.D. I couldn't make that happen.

There were people in my niche that were making millions of dollars but they were all models. They didn't have my educational background. I realized that they were successful because they had great marketing teams, so I knew that's what I needed to create. Five years prior to all of this, I was doing Facebook ads when I was running nightclubs.

Luckily, I was familiar with how the process worked.

I started going to events and took a lot of courses in marketing. Grad school was done and I was single, so all of my time was invested in growing my business. I was working 18 hours per day. In two years, I scaled to making millions of dollars with the help of Facebook ads. I was selling fitness products, fitness coaching, and supplements. Today, that business is on pause. My primary focus is on my marketing agency where we help people fast track their success.

How did you learn how to do Facebook ads?

You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don't apply it, it's pointless. The reason that I was successful is that I went all in. The key point was that every day I was applying knowledge to my own stuff. This is why we get better results as an agency. I am unique in that I've built a multi-million dollar business myself before teaching others. However, I'm also still applying it to my own businesses every single day.

What is your mindset for success?

When it comes to business, mindset is everything. Life will knock you down. It's inevitable. However, the people that remain successful are those that keep going, no matter what. My Mom was a professional athlete so I spent my entire life at the Olympic games. I was constantly surrounded by success. Hence, from an early age, it was ingrained in me that I could achieve whatever I wanted in life.

My Mom won a gold medal at 50 years of age.

She trained every day and was committed. Everything that I've achieved in my life has been done without any outside investment. However, my parents gave me the mindset that I have today. More importantly, I'm not scared of failure. You learn your biggest mistakes and develop the most as a person when you fail.

What are the best strategies for increasing traffic and sales?

Business is very simple. You need a great product that converts, a great offer, and then you need people to see it. If you have those two things in place, you can build a million dollar business. Most people don't have any of those in place. They may have a subpar offer, no copy or no funnel.

You can have a great product, but if nobody sees it, then you will never make money. Obviously, Facebook ads are the best way. It has unique delivery capabilities in terms of how many people it can reach and how you can target people.

More importantly, it doesn't cost a lot to start.

The cool thing about Facebook is that you can pay $10 dollars per day in Facebook ads and get started reaching more people. With old fashioned media, you would have to pay $1000 to be in a magazine, wait for two months for it to be published and then hope you make sales. However, nowadays you can track everything.

What are the marketing opportunities that Instagram provides?

One advantage that I have is that I'm running ads. My Instagram grows faster than ever now because I have a product that converts and I can run traffic to grow it. I grew my Facebook page to 900,000 followers in two years. I didn't do any traffic to grow the page.

Rather, I grew it because I was spending $20,000 per day on Facebook ads for my product.

I would get 5,000 likes some days from my ads because people were engaging and buying my programs. With Instagram, I get a lot of that as well because I run a lot of ads. In two hours, I'll get 200 followers just from people looking at my ads. I teach people how to grow their Instagram channels. It's still an organic platform where you can make money without ads.

Within a year or two, that will be gone, which is why you've got to make the most of it. If you want to grow your Instagram organically, be consistent. I also teach about the importance of having the right content. You can't post random stuff. You have to be strategic.

How can people find out more about you?

I would follow me on my Instagram where I provide a lot of free content as well as my Facebook page. My marketing agency is called ROI Machines. On my website, you will find a lot of great courses, some of which include 10 Weeks To 1000 Sales and Messenger Bot Mastery.

Are you ready to take your online business to the next level?

In today's digital age, if you aren't leveraging social media you're going to get left behind. If you really want to build a massive following and grow your business, you need to be willing to invest in yourself and your brand. Rudy Mawer went from being a personal trainer to a multi-millionaire by 26 years old.

Why can't you? Believe it's possible and you're halfway there.

If you’re broke or struggling financially, I’ve got the secret for how you can change your financial situation, and make the shift out of scarcity and into financial abundance.

Money creates a wealth of opportunities, and affords us the freedom to invest in ourselves and enjoy life to the fullest. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it does make the best things in life even better.

Unfortunately a lot of people can’t enjoy the opportunities that money offers, because they are floundering in financial debt.

If you’re broke or struggling financially, than what you are currently doing is not working. However, the good news is that you have the power to change your life.

In the words of Napoleon Hill, “Every individual has the power to change his or her material or financial status by first changing the nature of his or her beliefs.” Are you ready to learn a new strategy that will change your financial situation for the better?

If you make enough poor financial decisions, money has the power to take over your life. This is no way to live.

The moment that you take responsibility for the financial situation that you are currently in is the moment that you take back the power to change your life.

There was once a time in my life when I was broke and struggling financially. I had massive amounts of credit card debt and was living on a friend’s couch. It wasn’t until I took ownership of my financial decisions, that I was able to shift my life. I went from being broke, to where I am today, as a multi-millionaire.

If you’re broke or struggling financially, follow these steps to change your financial situation.

Step #1 – Have A Vehicle For Making Money

Have a vehicle, in the form of a job or a business, that will allow you to make immediate short-term money. I don’t care what kind of job it is, just take it, so that you can start the process of getting back on your feet, financially.

You will need to make a short-term sacrifice, but it’s a small price to pay for freeing yourself of debt.

Step #2 – Learn How To Manage Your Finances

If you aren’t able to manage your money effectively, that tells me that you are either living above your means, or at par, with the amount of money that you are making.

When it comes to managing your finances you need to do three things:

A) Track Your Income & Expenses

Tracking your income and expenses will give you the self-awareness of where you are spending your money, and the power to ensure that you spend less than what you are making.

You always need to make sure that your income is higher than what your expenses are, and that you have a ‘positive cash flow’, which will allow you to save money.

B) Budget

Once you know what your monthly income and expenses are, you need to budget and save money, which may mean that you need to downgrade your current lifestyle and make short-term sacrifices.

C) Allocate Your Money

I learned a simple, but highly effective method for how to manage your money for financial freedom from T. Harv Eker. He suggests that you break down the money that you make and your expenses into six jars:

Necessities (55% of your income)

Put 55% of your income towards necessities, in the form of rent, groceries, or car payments. A lot of people put 100% of what they make towards their necessities. This is not the route that you want to take if you have a desire to get out of the “rat race”.

Long-term Savings (10% of your income)

You should put 10% of your money towards long-term savings. Ideally, you want to build up a 6-month emergency reserve of money, in the event that you experience a financial crisis.

Financial Freedom Account (10% of your income)

Another 10% of your money should go towards financial freedom, which could be investments that you make, in the form of cryptocurrencies or stocks.

Education (10% of your income)

Another 10% of your income should go towards educating yourself. How do you expect to change your life if you don’t have the financial means to invest in yourself?

Investing in coaches, seminars, and training is what is going to allow you to achieve financial prosperity. I can confidently say that this is what has allowed me to build my business to where it is today.

Fun (10% of your income)

You should put 10% of your money towards doing things that are fun. Make time for things that bring a sense of joy to your life.

Personally, I was willing to sacrifice fun and invest this 10% into my education, so that I could pay off my debt faster, but it’s up to you how you want to allocate it.

Giving (5% of your income)

Lastly, you want to give 5% of your earnings to a cause or charity. Even if you don't have a lot of money to give, the act of giving trains your brain to live in a state of abundance.

Giving makes you feel good about yourself, and you end up attracting more wealth into your life as a result of doing it.

Step #3 – Invest In Yourself

It will be difficult for you to change your life if you do not invest in yourself. Warren Buffett once said, “The best investment that you can make is in yourself.” 

This has been the secret that has allowed me to achieve financial freedom, and one of the best returns on investment that I have ever had.

Step #4 – Create Wealth

Lastly, you need to create a vehicle for financial freedom and abundance, whether that’s creating wealth by starting an online business or learning how to invest in stocks. There is a simple formula for building wealth, which is:

1. Make more than you spend and invest the difference wisely.
2. Develop daily habits that result in wealth accumulation.

If you're broke or struggling financially, follow these steps to change your financial situation. If you can master this process, you will live the rest of your life, financially free!
