Hi,
Im paintninja from youtube. I'll be posting on steem from now on i've recently began to be involved in the crypto space.
Who am I? I have run a semi-successful painting business between the gold coast, bris and down as far as byron bay for most of my adult life. During that time I have enjoyed both massive success and failure on the business front.
Along the way I have been investing in property, shares, and now cryptocurrencies. I passively invest every single week without fail, dollar cost averaging which of course compounds, pays dividends which are re-invested and then in the long run will provide and exponential return.
I encourage everybody to consistently take money off the table by paying themselves first, i.e. Put away 10-20% of your earnings BEFORE you pay all expenses. Do this habitually, every week, fortnight, month. I realise small business has quite a lot of cashflow problems and this can sometimes be difficult, but it is important to invest and save along the way so if you do have business failure (which i have had plenty of) you still will have the economic energy you have generated boiling away in the background growing and further producing income.
My favourite investing app presently is acorns, the returns so far have been quite reasonable hovering around 6% pa for me. I find it easier and by far less time consuming than researching, and investing in individual stocks etc. I outsource that to acorns, and its working so far.
If you would like to know more about painting, property or anything I post on here please comment and i will try to respond as quickly as possible.
My current favourite crypto's are:
Ripple, Antshares, Steem, Golem, Stratis & Ethereum.
My recommended readings would be:
Rich Dad Poor Dad, Rich Dad's guide to investing, Conspiracy of the rich < All by the same author, Robert Kiyosaki, i have not yet to find better quality material in such a concise and easy to read guide for the layman.
If you read these books, and you have children, i encourage you to force them to read the books even by paying them to do so if you have to. The information pertained in these books is life changing, and can lead to you leaving a legacy for your children, and grandchildren.
