What To Know When Choosing A Mentor, Advisor or University

Investing can be a tricky process, which is why many turn to professional advisors for help before venturing into the investment world. Often these are people that have been well educated in theory and not necessarily practitioners. Our children should always have the opportunity to choose when it comes to a mentor, advisor or a university. Following a mentor, advisor or educator that actually successfully practices in real life what they teach is always the best path for any of us.

In yesterday's article we discussed the arrival to a place known as "entitlement" here in America using my buddy Bill Zucker's TARP video and song. When we listen to the song we hear the underlynig message that somehow we are all now "entitled" to something for free. Nothing is free in life, especially when it comes to education.
The most lucrative road to wealth building has always, is now and will be in the future, real estate investing. Real estate is a business. One can multiply wealth tremendously or even go bankrupt investing in the wrong way.

Education Is The Answer, What's The Question? A phrase coined by the author and used in many public article poses an intersting thought. Think about it for a minute. If we were to educate ourselves and our children, what question would there be? Would we not accomplish what we need to accomplish? Well maybe, but then there is that "praticing educator" thing we spoke about earlier. Check out this video and see the testimonials of children following a practicing educator, menator or advisor.



As mkost of you know by now, I am dedicated to the development of our youth through education...however, Education That Matters...Education our children will actually use in their daily routines. I was fortunate enough to meet Jim Piccolo, founding member of Nouveau Riche at Celebrity Fight Night in Phoenix a few years ago. A dear friend of mine David Foster produces the entertainment for that event every year. I was intrigued by Jim's desire to assist our children with financial literacy issues. I knew that I would be retiring soon from a 30 year career in the music industry.

It was that night that I chose my new mentor for what I would commit to do for the rest of my life...why, because that old nursery rhyme "Follow The Leader" applies here. This man is truly one of the world's greatest assets, amn of honor, vision and dedication to educating children with Education That Matters. Learn more about this amazing man, the univwersity courses that are offered at the University he founded that has become a leader in reale estate education at http:/reinvestorsolutions.com/composer62 where in every day life, we are dedicated to Education That Matters.
