1 week off every month with cashflow
Holiday Cashflow
3 years ago, I was inspired by my future mentor Jamie McIntyre, when he said he worked 3 weeks then had 1 week off. The purpose is that (besides needing the rest) the recharging and relaxation of the 1 week holiday gives him the most inspiration and insight for new ideas and concepts to grow his business and investments.
I was very inspired by this, and although I didn’t set it as a goal to achieve, it has ingrained itself into my subconscious mind and has lingered until now. 2 weeks ago, I unleashed the holiday beast! From now on its 1 week off every month. How will this work, some people will be asking? How can you just “not attend” to your stock market investments, property portfolio or internet sites? Won’t you need the cashflow for that week?
Millionaire Mindset
Well, that sounds like the questions I would have asked 3 years ago. Something I have come to realise is this: When you are doing what you are passionate about, it’s like having time off anyway. So the first 3 weeks are very enjoyable to start with. I work with the internet, helping people build a millionaire mindset, creating cashflow strategies, playing with trading systems, looking at potential investment properties, the list goes on… meanwhile, I’m building emotional intelligence. By now I’m sure you understand the importance of both emotional and financial intelligence. They are the key to growth and building wealth.
This is what I’m likely to do on my week off and how I will manage my investment cashflow:
Travel to destinations of my dreams, including goals I’ve set 3 years ago. When I did the 21st Century Academy Homestudy program, one of my goals was to take my 2 sons to every continent in the world by 2017. I’ve realised since that this goal will be achieved in the next 4 – 5 years.
Spend time at home on my 20 acre riverside property in Western Australia. This is where I want to spend the rest of my days although my intention is to own many properties throughout Australia and the world.
Access to internet means I can oversee stock market investments almost anywhere in the world. This is hardly a chore as I enjoy my investment strategies and spending a few minutes a day looking at them doesn’t phase me at all.
Most stock market investment strategies I use are very low key and low maintenance. In the beginning, I used a more aggressive approach because I needed a higher investment return on my money. Now the cashflow is there, the rate of return isn’t as important anymore. Of course, that removes a lot of potential stress in the investment as you could imagine. $10,000 isn’t as much money to me now as it was 2 or 3 years ago.
Less Effort – Same Cashflow Return
I actually make a fraction more every month from my investments (with less effort) than I did in December 2005 when I finally replaced my income and fired my boss. Other cashflow generators have enabled me to make money at a higher rate while still maintaining a low key, low maintenance investment profile.
So the bottom line is that I am now able to start enjoying life at a higher rate and still grow my investment portfolio while having a growing cashflow as well. All this has happened in 3 short years. I hope you can take some of this onboard, inspiring you to take action and break away from the things you don’t want in life. Now is the time to move towards the grand goals and dreams that inspire you.
Until next time, I wish you Universal Success

IRA Investing…
From my experience the best investors are mature in their thinking and have realistic investment expectations. They measure their personal investment horizon in months and years - rather than weeks or days….
