Book Review - The Quiet Millionaire
The Quiet Millionaire is a book that contains a wealth of information on personal finance topics. With forty plus years of professional experience as a personal and business financial advisor, Brett Wilder shares with us his expertise on how to accumulate and keep our wealth.
This book’s theme is tied very closely to the title of the book – The Quiet Millionaire. Instead of writing about how to be frugal or the secret to picking the right stock at the right time, this book focuses on how the average population can carefully plan and be a millionaire with time, patience and good probability.
One of the first Brett advices is to discover who the real you is and what you really want out of life, while making sure we plan for money to be our servant instead of being our master.
Next, he explains to us the seven major obstacles to Financial Success:1. Undisciplined Spending2. Materialistic Thinking3. Burdensome Costly Debt4. Taxes5. Inflation6. Poorly Structured Investment Portfolios7. Unforeseen Life-Changing, Financially Devastating EventsThis sets up the rest of the book where he tackles all sorts of topics such as cash flow, investing, taxes, and retirement.
Cash FlowThe key to having a positive cash flow involves knowing where our money is going. This includes creating a budget, in which personal finance software such as Quicken or Microsoft Money can help. Other tips include having a plan to determine cash flow requirements to fund future goals and objectives and paying ourselves first with automatic savings deductions.
InvestingBrett is a big advocate of low cost index funds. He believes in the long run, most people will end up leaving money on the table by trading individual stocks because many of us let our emotions get in the way. This is great advice for so many people because this totally takes the maintenance work required for stock picking out of the equation and just let the money work for us.
TaxesIn order to minimize taxes paid, we should actively plan for tax reductions. This means proactively perform intelligent tax reduction to maximize our after-tax dollars throughout the entire year.
RetirementOnce we retire, the primary focus should be to protect and preserve our wealth instead of trying to accumulate and grow it. One of the advices given is to establish a lifetime gift-giving program to reduce the value of his/her estate and transfer it to someone else over time without incurring taxes.
Target AudienceThe book is for people who have a good income stream and would like the extra help to accumulate and keep their wealth through time. People looking for the secret to getting rich quickly are not going to find what they are looking for in this book.
Last WordsFrom the cover and title to the content, this book is about substance. There is nothing fancy in this book, just straight forward personal finance information that we can all benefit.

Making Angel Investors Notice You
People often say that money makes the world go round. This age-old line can never be truer in the case of business owners for without money, they would cease to be.
Right from the start, regardless of size and industry, businesses are all about making money. However, in order to make one, you also have to part with some, and parting can only be done if you have sufficient capital with you to spend. But what if you only have the idea but don’t have the financial strength? Then you go to angel investors.
With so many would-be business owners as well as businessmen who need help in expanding their businesses looking for angel investors, you might feel that it would be hard on your part to secure the help of even one “angel”. There are actually some ways by which you can get them to notice you.
One of the tips that could help you find angel investors is that you should have a business plan. As basic as it may seem, some business owners forget to come up with a convincing business plan that they end up losing the interest of angel investors. Your business plan should completely detail how much you think your would earn over a certain period, what your expenses would be, what your products and services would be, and how you would secure your clients. These details would help angel investors to see if your business is something that they would like to be involved in.
Make sure also that you focus your search on an angel investor network that specializes in your field. Keep in mind that most angel investors would prefer businesses that they already have an experience in. They are also most likely to go for businesses located within their area so that they can easily monitor just how their investment is doing.
Lastly, make sure that you also throw in some of your money into your business. You cannot expect an angel investor network to fully cover up all capital that you would need. Remember that angel investors would take time in raising the needed capital. They would also like to see that they are not the only ones who are risking their money in your business. It gives them confidence to know that you also have risks involved in the business.
