From the desk of the CEO of WBI International

Hello, my name is Mark Trachsler, CEO and founder of the Better Investing Network.

Over the last number of years I have had the pleasure of working closely with thousands of people who have decided to create their own destiny by educating themselves on strategies to secure their financial independence.

When we created The Better Investing Network, the process was assisted by a wide diversity of people with one thing in common ... an unerring belief that wealth is best created through sharing information, opportunities and adding value (after all, this is what we call a Win-Win isn't it).

The Better Investing membership prides itself on openly sharing information on which investments have helped our Members profit (and equally importantly, which haven't). 

The benefit of our member community can perhaps best be seen when you witness our  Members that may have long since retired & are living off their investments, openly and happily providing guidance and support to those just starting out.  (Of course experienced investors benefit by gaining access to people and opportunities appropriate to their investing requirements).   

We pride ourselves on the fact that we are an organisation of private investors who share information freely, rather than a company seeking to sell investment products to its clients in order to meet sales commission quotas.

Our Guiding Principles are designed to help members fast-track financial success:

1. Invest 10% or more of what you earn
2. Reduce or eliminate bad (non-deductible) debt
3. Seek to maximise your rate of return (ROI)
4. Perform quality Due Diligence in order to minimise losses
5. Have ‘Ongoing Vigilance’ on the performance of your investment portfolio

Better Investing Network Members assist one another to stick to the financial principles that are the simplest yet most powerful basics that almost all world-leading investors integrate into their own strategies. As always, when you stick to the basics, the more advanced results look after themselves.

I hope this overview of The Better Investing Network provides you with the answers as to why so many people feel this is a powerful addition to traditional financial education.

We are so convinced any investor will find our Network of great benefit, we would like to offer you to take a look for free.  Simply contact us and we will assist you set up a Free Trial Membership, or we can advise you of your nearest Better Investing support group.

We hope to hear from you soon.

PS - I have listed below a few more Principles Supporting Financial Success.  Our Members swear by them.  I hope they assist you too.






Principles Supporting Financial Success

1.  Focus On The Types Of Investments That Create Substantial Wealth

Our members focus on finding higher yielding investments to increase their Return On Investment (ROI) and thus lessen the years it takes for their investments to double in value.  Whilst our Members understand that generally the greater the rewards, the greater the risk, they also know that obtaining a 10% return requires 7.2 years for money to double, yet with a 36% return it takes only 2 years (the Rule of 72).

2.  Perform High Quality Due Diligence

Our members choose to spend longer qualifying the safety of higher yielding opportunities (what do they say? ... “Work on the 20% that gives 80% of the Result ...”)

3.  Understand The Investment

The old adage is true ... “If you don’t understand it, don’t invest in it”

4.  Decide Whether To Invest By Yourself Or With Others

Determine whether to have a group of investors invest through an Investment Club

Introduce the opportunity to others – legally.

Strengthen your own evaluation by requesting others to share with you their own Due Diligence findings.

5.  Obtain Independent Verification Of The Investment Opportunity

Don’t just take the word of the investment salesperson, check that the ‘facts’ stack up with the people that support or maintain the investment. 

Speak to other investors, the investments’ auditors, bank managers and so on. 

Check independent regulators like your local Securities regulator (eg SEC in the US, ASIC in Australia and so on). 

Obtain advice through your local Financial Planning Authority. 

Check Scam Alert services (see our Investor Resources).

6.  Select Quality Advisors Who Are Getting Results

It may sound strange, but do some simple due diligence on those who will advise you! ...

- Are they accredited? 
- Are they getting financial results themselves?  
- Does your financial advisor operate out of decent premises?  
- Can they show you proof that they are helping other clients succeed financially?  

If not, how can they be trusted to help you generate wealth if they cannot do it for themselves?

7.  Obtain Endorsements Of Your Professional Advisors

Before investing, utilise the skills of professionals that have had past experience with the type of deals you are evaluating. 

Ask around for lawyers, accountants, financial planners and the like that can point out how to turn a medium quality deal into a great deal. 

Be sure to present them with the quality due diligence you created earlier.

8.  Invest Wisely And Do Regular Monitoring ‘Health Checks’

Prune the deadwood, constantly improve your own investing ‘Vital Statistics’ and remain vigilant.

9.  Develop A Track Record Over Time.

Allow time to show you those opportunities which are quality operations and develop a track record of financial success.

10.  Enjoy The Journey

Learning about investing can be fun as well as financially rewarding.  Looking to add value to those around you, as well as losing the attachment to the money helps make the process fun.  Impatience will only tax the investor motivated by greed.  Remember success comes from the enjoyment of the journey, not from longing for the destination.  

If you follow a system like the one above, you should well and truly be on the path to financial independence!
