How to get rich quest

In November we held a seminar “How do the rich get richer?” When it comes to getting rich, the rich get richer because they have knowledge about money. They understand how money works. They understand finance. They understand tax laws. They understand what drives profitability.
When the rich get richer, it is a symptom of their behaviour, not the cause of some great cosmic mystery. Trying to figure out why the rich get richer is like trying to figure out why athletes get in better shape over time or why painters become more skilled with each passing year. As Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is a habit.”
We provided an awesome line up of expert speakers and had a great turn out. Comments included;

It reduces the principal of the mortgage amount saving thousands of dollars in interest and taking years off your mortgage.

An innovative customer payment solution was presented by Fiona Ashford of Fee Funders. This system allows a business to offer payment plans for their products or services. The business receives the amount in full and up front. The client can choose a payment plan over 6 or 9 months and pays a little bit extra to do so. It makes for easier sales and the business doesn’t have to worry about chasing the payments – it’s all done for you!
