First off, thank you for checking out the "Demassified Investor" Blog.
Our blog exists to teach, advise, and empower everyday men and women who struggle to enhance their quality of life. There are many issues people face and we promise to give insights & facts on topics such as: Education, Lifestyle Habits, Work Habits, and many more. The most important topic and the biggest concern of every family (Rich & Poor), is their Finances!
Money, Investing, Saving, and all Financial Planning sub-sections are not at the top of America's education curriculum, unfortunately. The Creator and Chief Editor (Luis R. Montoya III), specializes in helping families from all walks of life, develop a customized Financial Plan. Luis comes from a family who was not taught about the tools and concepts that are needed to create & sustain an adequate Financial Plan! Thus, Luis is extremely passionate about sharing and empowering others with the most up-to-date and relevant financial-tools!
Our goal as a blog is share the insights, wisdom, & best practices of the Financial Services Industry. Which is not being taught via traditional educational outlets. Our hope is to provide resources that readers can implement into their lives. We believe that as long as our content is easy to read and easy to understand, readers will be more inclined to adopt these habits as their own.
How Can We Become Successful & Create A Better Quality Of Life?
There is a reason why the rich continue to stay rich and the poor stay poor. It's because human beings are creatures of habit, and from birth we are raised by parents who have certain habits that are past down to us (both good and bad). I know what you're thinking : "How do the rags to riches stories occur if they develop habits similar to their parents?". The answer is that those individuals have a deep burning desire to become something greater than their parents were. That's usually born from watching how their parents lived, and the frustration reached the tipping point, causing them to invoke change! This is only the start, however. They then must embark on a journey of evolution, revolution, & breaking the mold of the horrible habits instilled at birth!
Albert Einstein famously said:
"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."In other words, if we truly wish to change and "fix" our current problems, we must elevate our level of thinking and comprehension. Life as it turns out is all about growth and evolution. If you are not growing then you are dying! Letting go of bad habits is never an easy task. Which is where we at 'Demassified Investor' come in.
What does "Demassified Investor" Mean?
Definition of "Demassified Investor" :
" demassify [dee-mas-uh-fahy]verb (used with object), demassified, demassifying.
1. to cause (society or social system) to become less uniform or centralized; diversify or decentralize: to demassify the federal government.
" invest [in-vest]verb (used with object).
3. to use, give, or devote (time, talent, etc.), as for a purpose or to achieve something: He invested a lot of time in helping retarded children."
The reason for naming my blog "Demassified Investor", was because I used to struggle with my identity and as a default strategy I tried to be like everyone else. I began doing what everyone else did, living the way they did, and essentially ending up with the same results they had! I didn't like it one bit! So I made a conscious decision to "break away" from the masses and "invest" my time and energy in more suitable areas. It was then that I began assessing my life in order to figure out where I was at. They call this process "Taking Stock" of one's life.
It's always a great idea to take stock of your life and figure out what is your life's valuation is. Just as a company gets appraised to figure their valuation, you too must do the same. By doing so, you will be able to better assess your situation and figure out where you need to focus more energy, as well as where some fat needs to be cut. As we have seen many times throughout history, if you let a problem linger around for too long, eventually it will have spread too far to reverse. The topics that will be discussed in this blog will help break away from bad habits and replace them with new, success breeding habits. Some topics will be, but are not limited to:
- Financial Education (Retirement, Investing, Insurance, etc.)
- Politics / Government (Legislation, Election, Monetary Issues, etc.)
- Self-Help (Importance of Mind Set, Goal Setting, etc.)
- Life Style (Family, Health, Fitness, Community, etc)
- Education (Mentors, Readings, Edu. Courses, etc)
- and much more...
Mission Statement:
To share life changing content, wisdom, & strategies for a better mindset & better life!
Simply put, we are all living life together on this great earth! It's important that we stick together as a community and help each other to grow. I am a firm believer that what goes around will come back around, which is why we have decided to share our knowledge to those who are in dyer need of help. For too long the middle class has been left out of the loop in important topics like Financial Services, Political Climate, and much more.
