Is 10 Minute Investing Strategies for you? Chances are high that it is. Here are some of the most common concerns, doubts and fears that have before taking control of their financial lives:

Do I need a Finance degree to invest well?

Not at all. The financial services industry has a lot at stake keeping you in ignorance - billions in fact. Anyone can learn the critical basics of investing and with a plan, discipline and some money you can invest successfully.

Why should I listen to you?

I've seen the inside (and the underbelly) of the investment management industry without being corrupted by it. I used to design marketing, sales and customer service systems for Wall Street firms, banks and insurance companies. I've spent two years researching full-time the industry for what works and what doesn't - and I've found ways to summarize and package the material in easily digestible and entertaining bites. I've made a ton of investing mistakes and have learned from them. You have the benefit of not skinning your knees and losing money they way I did. Oh, and I use the methods and strategies I teach. I started my career as a CPA, have my own fee-only investment advisory firm and have dedicated my life to providing objective investment education and advice based on proven methods and documented performance.

Do I have to be a risk-taker?

Well, that depends. It's not about you being or not being a risk taker. You must first focus on what you want in terms of a financial goal. From that, you will determine what kind of strategy - and its risk profile - you need to meet your goal. There's no need to be a high roller if you can get the return on your money taking on less risk. Conversely, if you have an aggressive goal, then stuffing cash into your mattress because you consider yourself conservative does you no good at all. It's your strategy that needs a particular level of risk in exchange for your expected return-not you.

How do I know these strategies work?

These strategies are based on solid academic research whereby researchers at esteemed places like the University of Chicago have determined the key factors of investment portfolio performance. I teach these factors. The primary determinants are what kind of investments you hold in your portfolio and the length of time you hold them. You will armed with powerful principles and rock-solid research that doesn't rest on the whims of any particular investment or market. That said, no one has a crystal ball to predict investment or market behavior. Run as fast as you can if someone tells you s/he can predict a market movement. As with any investment, you will incur risk. You could lose money.

I don't have any money. What can I do to start investing?

I show you how to gain momentum with as little as one dollar ($1) a day.

I'm in debt. Does this kit have something to offer me?

Yes, indeed. The best thing you can do is whittle down and eliminate your debt. I've evaluated the best debt reduction programs out there and share several strategies with you.
