Have you been wondering where to invest $1000 right now?

Before you even consider investing you must have money put aside. Ideally, you want to save between 3 and 6 month's worth of monthly expenses.

Emergency funds create a financial buffer that can keep you afloat in a time of need without having to rely on credit cards.

Even if you have a lot of savings, I don't recommend investing all your money into the stock market.

A smart investor has great money management skills.

If you can't master your finances, you won't last long as an investor. Before you make any investment decisions, make sure that you are financially responsible. You need to save money before you can invest money. Doing so creates the foundation upon which your financial house is built.

This means learning the foundational skills of managing your money, tracking your expenses and creating a budget. Let's assume that you already have money to invest. Here are 3 ways that you can invest $1,000 right now.

1. Invest In Yourself

I didn't create the massive success that I have today by investing in stocks. Before you even think about investing in stocks, I suggest that you invest in yourself. In the words of Warren Buffett who is the #1 investor in the world, “The best investment you can make is an investment in yourself. The more you learn, the more you'll earn.”

A lot of people fail to recognize how powerful learning can be. You can extract an entire lifetime of someone's experience and knowledge and consume that in a matter of hours or days. In turn, that can benefit how you live your life and the decisions that you make.

Now is a great time to consume knowledge from books. Reading is a powerful tool to learn more about yourself and the world. When you do the work to become more, you will make better decisions in every area of your life. Over the years I have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into myself. This is how I've been able to become a multi-millionaire.

2. Invest In Your Business

For those of you who really want to take your life and finances into your own hands, building an online business is the best way to do it. This is how most people become wealthy. If I put $1,000 into my business, that can equal tends of thousands of dollars in return. Right now is the best time to start an online business.

The world is going through a massive shift as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. More and more people have been forced to buy and consume more content online. By developing your business skills and building your business now, you will be in a great place once the economy gets better. This is the mindset that I'm adopting.

Right now I'm investing in mentors and business strategies that will grow my business tenfold in the near future. I want to continue learning and extracting as much knowledge as I can from others. Even though my sales are going down slightly, in one year from now, my business will go to the next level.

Why? Because I'm committing to becoming more. Whether it's developing a new website, creating content online, or writing a book, now is the time to invest in your future.

Whatever your $1,000 investment is, I promise that you will make so much more on the other side of it than you will from just investing in stocks. If you're interested in building a business and taking your life to the next level, I have a variety of courses and resources that can help you do so.

3. Invest in Stocks

There are a lot of great investment opportunities available right now. However, keep in mind that financial markets are volatile. If you want to invest during times like this, I recommend that you do your due diligence so that you are financially prepared. You need to have a proper investment strategy in place.

Currently, we are in a bear market. This means that the prices of stocks in the world have dropped from their all-time highs down to 20% or more. This means that you can invest in a lot of great companies at a reduced price than what they were trading one month ago.

If you can hold your stocks until the market recovers, you can make more money in the long-run. I take the money that I earn in my businesses and I invest it in other investment classes. This is how I diversify and create long-term wealth. As of late, I've been buying a lot of blue-chip companies.

I've also been investing in Canadian and U.S. tech, airline, credit card, and oil companies, bank stocks, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Some of these investments are riskier than others. However, in my opinion, you can't go wrong with financial or tech companies.

This is where to invest $1,000 right now.

These are the three types of investments that I prioritize the most. Ideally, you should invest in all three. However, it all depends on how much money you have. If money is an issue right now, focus on investing in yourself. In turn, your business will benefit. Eventually, you will be in a position where you can invest in stocks and other investment vehicles.

What will you commit to investing in?

I would like to share with you some money management tips for getting out of debt. Debt is no fun, and the emotional burden that it can create in peoples’ lives can be overwhelming. Henrik Ibsen said it best, “Home life ceases to be free and beautiful as soon as it is founded on borrowing and debt.”

Have you ever wondered why so many people have outrageous debt? A large reason is due to the lack of having a well-disciplined budget and financial life.

Managing your money doesn’t have to be difficult. It’s about knowing how you are using your money. How would your life change if you were free of debt? Make a decision to get rid of it, once and for all.

Below are 5 money management tips for getting out of debt:

1. Be Aware of And Accept Your Debt

One of the most difficult things to do when first getting on the debt pay-off journey, is to truly accept your debt. Oftentimes, the reality of debt is too painful to acknowledge or accept, so the natural response is to avoid that it exists. I speak from personal experience.

When I was in my early 20’s, I was in a lot of debt. I had to make sacrifices in order to manage my money more efficiently and become debt-free. It was the acceptance of my reality that allowed me to make a change in my life. If you are serious about becoming debt-free, you need to acknowledge its existence. Be proactive. Don’t live in fear. Instead, take action. 

2. Decide To Change your Spending Habits

Making a decision implies that you are about to take action. When you make the decision to change your spending habits, you are halfway there to financial freedom! Saving money is about changing spending habits. What are your spending habits?

In order to become debt-free, you need to address the actual money management habits that you are struggling with, that led to the debt in the first place. Ramona Pearson, a certified public accountant and personal financial advisor said that “Money habits are formulated at a very young age for most people.” Take the time to figure out why you're spending habits are the way they are.

Sure enough, this is the reason why a lot of people that win the lottery end up losing it all. They don't take the time to develop the discipline in order to manage their money properly.

Focus on cutting your expenses or your overhead in some way. This will allow you to have some extra cash flow every month. Then, you can use that cash flow to start paying off your debt.

3. Track Your Expenses

If you want to free yourself from debt, you need to start tracking your expenses. The best way to work out what you spend your money on and how much you have left at the end of every month, is to keep a record of all your expenses.

According to Pick The Brain, for two weeks you should write everything down that you spend. Record the time, the place, and how much it costs. Doing so will help you identify your spending patterns.

If you haven’t done something like this before, there is a good chance that you will shock yourself. How often do you track your money? If the answer is never, it’s time to get out a calculator and start doing the math!

4. Don’t Spend What You Earn

Once you start making money, don’t be tempted to spend MORE money. This is where people get themselves into trouble. You have to discipline yourself to NOT engage in this behaviour.

In his book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What The Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!, Robert Kiyosaki said, “Invest in assets, not liabilities.” An asset is something that puts money into your pocket, while a liability is something that takes money out of your pocket. Which category does everything in your life fall into?

If you can’t manage the money that you currently have, then there is no point making more money. If you adopt the mindset that making MORE money will be the answer to your debt issues, you are wrong. This is a recipe for disaster.

5. Reward Yourself

Adjusting to a new style of living involves sacrifice. Breaking bad habits, especially when it comes to spending money, is hard work. This is why it’s important that you reward yourself when you have practiced self-discipline.

Be kind to yourself and engage in mini-celebrations, now and then. Why? Because the MORE that you acknowledge and reward yourself for your successes, the more success you will have.

Charles Duhigg, New York Times reporter and author of The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, said “First, you have to pick a cue, like every single time that you get a pay check, you’ll move 5% of it into savings.” The key to making your habit stick is to give yourself a reward every time that you engage in a positive behaviour.

Debt is debt, but don’t feel that you have to punish yourself because of it. Honour the small achievements that you make every day, on your journey towards financial freedom. How you choose to manage and spend your money can have a profound impact on your life. I encourage you to follow these money management tips for getting out of debt.

Your ability to make good money decisions will end up shaping the direction that your life will take. Are you ready to be free of debt? Take control of your financial future now!

I would like to share with you 3 reasons why you should start a business on Amazon.

Amazon’s success started with one product category, and since then, it has has exploded into one of the world’s largest retail websites. To-date, Amazon has sold 362 million products.

Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon had the vision to make it ‘the everything store’, and he succeeded (Kakutani, 2013). Otherwise known as an online giant, Amazon has forever changed the retail world.

However, keep in mind that building an Amazon business requires knowledge, motivation, time, and effort. If you possess a get rich quick mentality, you won’t succeed. In the words of Marie Forleo, “Never start a business just to make money. Start a business to make a difference.”

If you want to build a profitable online business that generates you passive income, there is no better place than Amazon to get started. Virtually anyone can sell on its platform. Given the sheer volume of sellers on Amazon, it may seem overwhelming to enter into this world, but it’s possible.

Below are 3 reasons why you should start a business on Amazon:

Amazon Is A Rapidly Growing Market

Nobody can deny the power of Amazon. The proof is in its growth rate. In 2016, in their first quarter, Amazon generated $2.6 billion in revenue, representing 64 percent year-over-year growth (Frommer, 2016).  Those numbers prove that Amazon is the king of the e-commerce world.  They are doing things that no company in history has ever accomplished, especially with regards to physical products.

There has never been a better time for sellers to take advantage of this growing market. A poll of  2,000 U.S. online shoppers conducted by e-commerce marketing firm BloomReach, found a whopping 55% “go to Amazon first when searching for products.” With this kind of traffic, the earning potential is limitless. 

Amazon Provides A Platform to Build An Online Brand

If you want to build a sustainable business, you need to build an online brand. It all comes down to leveraging, and this is what will allow you to differentiate yourself from your competitors. The beauty of Amazon is that it provides you with a platform to start building your business. Whether your goal is to build a million dollar brand or just create passive income, expanding your brand beyond Amazon is critical to your success.

The world is constantly changing at such a rapid pace. As a result, any product or service that you create will eventually become irrelevant. However, when you create a brand, even though the world changes, you can continue to prosper because you are creating something of value.

When I built my company, ProjectLifeMastery, I focused on building my brand first, before I created or sold any products. In the words of Scott Bedbury, “The best brands never start out with the intent of building a great brand. They focus on building a great and profitable product or service, and an organization that can sustain it.” 

Amazon Creates An Opportunity For Financial Freedom

The best way to leverage your Amazon business is by diversifying yourself and building multiple streams of income. It is the perfect formula for scalability and exponential growth. Keep in mind that anything of value requires an investment of your time and effort. Your ability to adopt a long-term vision will be one of your greatest tools for success.

I would like to share with you a few inspirational examples of people who have achieved financial freedom from their Amazon businesses. Spencer Haws from Niche Pursuits, was able to make $40,000 within 30 days of starting his FBA business.  

James Amazio, founder of Feedbackz, went from zero to $50,000 per month in just eight months. Ryan Moran, founder of Freedom Fast Lane, created a 7-figure e-commerce business in just one year (Smale, 2016). Lastly, my girlfriend Tatiana currently makes $40,000 per month on Amazon at 23 years old. If these people can do it, so can you.

Amazon is an amazing platform for achieving financial freedom. Keep in mind that it is a mental, emotional, and educational process. In the words of Eric Thomas, “Fall in love with the process and the results will come.” Are you ready to take charge of your future and create an Amazon business? Believe that you can, and you will. There is no better time than now!
