My own mom read to me as a child and one of my favorite books was The Miscroscopic Engine That Could. You may be wondering why or how an investment blog could compare investing to a children's book. The easiest way of explaining Ockham's Razor is "the simplest explanation is more likely the correct one." The Little Engine That Could not only has a good message for our children, it also has a message which usually can be directly applied to investing.

Expectations - In the book, the Little Blue Engine had the expectation of pulling a large load of toys up and over a mountain. When setting your expectations for investing do not be afraid to dream big. Once you place your expectations, sit down and begin by mapping out a plan to achieving your expectations, list any books, blogs or training that can help you meet your expectations.

Attitude - In the book, the Little Blue Engine was the only engine that had a positive attitude. Do you know anyone that says that they will never be rich? Do you know anyone that says they could never afford a certain car, a boat, a certain house or whatever it may be? If you know anyone that uses the word "can't" in their vocabulary, you probably know someone who will never acquire the material items they long to have, unless they change their way of thinking. I teach my children that "can't" is not a word we want in our vocabulary. I know that I can achieve all my dreams because We have a positive attitude. If you have the winning attitude you can too.Read more information about investment blog

What is the right attitude? Rather than saying you will never have something you want, you need to think, how can I afford it? How can you increase your means of making money so you can live at the standard of living you desire? This is easier said than done. It is much easier to say I cannot afford it. Search for ways to increase your financial intelligence. I am suggesting that you find ways to make your money work for you, rather than you earning a living for your money.

Success - In the book, the Little Blue Engine succeeded in pulling the load of toys up the mountain. Regardless of what your expectations think you're can achieve them, given you have a good attitude. Over the last couple years my expectations have changed when it comes to success. A couple years ago I thought that I needed to climb the corporate ladder and work for a large paycheck to achieve success, not any longer. Now I want to be financially free. I want to get to where my money is working for me. I do not want to have to work for another paycheck ever again. Finally, if not more important, I want to create generational wealth. This means I want to teach my children and grandchildren how to make their money work for them.

Ok, enough of my lofty dreams. I encourage you to dream big, build your money work for you and have the attitude that will lead you to your dreams.Read more information about investment blog
