Here is what this board is about!

[The Red Dragon]

I have my first job at 19. I should be raking in about 9000 in 4 months...5000 to tuition and 4000 excess. I'm thinking of allocating 1000-2000 for investing...as a new hobby. I've always wanted to do this since I was in middle school but now I have the means necessary. I'd be glad to learn anything I can about this field, right from the bootstraps.

PM me if you would like some advice on where to start. I am considering making a thread about this.

Will do, thanks man.
An investing primer thread would be very useful.

Hi

This should be a place where all of us are welcome.

I want this to be a place where even people who have less than $1,000 can figure out where to get started investing safely.

A place where people who have their own business can get advice, and a place where people who want to start their own business can get advice.

Seems like a lot of us are real estate investors too.

Also, post books you've read that you enjoyed and why.

Above all, try to keep an open mind. Everyone thinks they know more way than they actually do

Success in investing is just like bodybuilding, if you fail to plan you plan to fail!

Book suggestion

This is going to be a great board!

I think that there are a lot of opportunities for people to learn from each other and helpeach other out.

I will second the book suggestion that one of the earlier posts suggested, especially for those that are just starting out. Napoleon Hill's book "Think and Grow Rich" is poss. one of the best books written on how to succeed. I know that it maybe a little dated and may come across as corny and dry but allow yourself to to read a chapter and think about what the man has to say, refelct on what it is he is saying and try putting his steps into belief. Then read the next chapter and so on. THIS IS NOT A BOOK THAT IS A ONE TIME READ! It took me quite a few reads before I truly understood and could put these priciples into action (And to be honest I am still working on some of them) But that being said, I wouldn't pass up the knowledge of ones self and the ability to look at life the way I now do, with little fear of opportunity and how to strive for what it is I want out of life, if I constantly pursue for ANYTHING!

Please read and enjoy!

Thanks for starting this board!!!

Re: Book suggestion

I promise to do a weekly training in this forum for those of you out there who want to actually do something on this earth besides passing through and cancelling out to be zero. I want to provide some education for those of you who want the world to know you were here, for you who aren't happy with just being the bug guy or the accountant, or the receptionist, or the CEO of a big company making the owners all the money. If you have an open mind and you're not brainwashed by society on how you need to go learn a trait or a task to make it, then it will be for you. My company is going to be sending me all over the US and I'd love to sit down with all of you individually and help you draw up a financial blueprint.

When is the last time your job sat down with you on the clock and explained to you your 401K? Never right? That's right.. I look at it like this.. Give a man a fish you feed him for the day, you teach a man to fish you feed him for a life time. I want to teach you all how to fish. I want to have Elite Fitness parties at my various houses and eventually meet every single person who is a regular contributor on here. Instead of kegs of beer, shit, I'll somehow find or construct kegs of Isopure. We'll take turns doing keg stands and have Myoplex bar eating contests and all get high off Oxycalm.. lol..

I truly think there is something special about this website. I count my blessings everyday and I'm blessed to have found this place. There are some amazing people on here with some amazing brains. I'd love to be part of bringing everyone closer together for a bigger cause. The fact is is that you are here because you are Elite. You are here b/c you're not lazy, you stand for something noble, your own health. You know that your body is your temple, everything you truly have. You are not average nor do you ever want your children thinking they are average or come from average.

Let me begin this vision one day at a time. Look forward to some financial training on here. I am looking forward to meeting all of you some day, getting a lot more traffic on this website, helping you make your fortune, and help George grow his even more. (Not that he needs it hehe) Let's not forget that he is the reason we are all here and for that, we should all be thankful.

T-Matt

U no what, I really love this site, It just hasn't got advice on bodybuilding, fitness and diet, its got a forum on other areas of life. Definetly one of the best bodybuilding sites. Keep up the good work elite fitness.

Of course, there are lots of learning and interesting stuffs, apart from body building I would say.
