The 10 Commandments of the Lifestyle Investor™

  • Commandment 1: Lifestyle First
  • Commandment 2: Reduce the Risk
  • Commandment 3: Find Invisible Deals
  • Commandment 4: Get the Principal Back Quickly
  • Commandment 5: Create Cash Flow Immediately
  • Commandment 6: Find an Income Amplifier
  • Commandment 7: Plus the Deal
  • Commandment 8: Cut Out the Fat
  • Commandment 9: Use Leverage to Your Advantage
  • Commandment 10: Every Dollar of Investment Gets a Return
  1. Your investments are truly passive income rather than a factor of time spent in the business. Passive income means you’re earning income while you’re sleeping or offline.

  2. Examine deal structures to minimize risk and maximize returns.

  3. Watch emerging markets and unconventional investment opportunities, including new and disruptive technologies or companies in a reinvention phase.

  4. Get the Principal Back Quickly Can you get a return of your principal investment in one to two years? The quicker you get your principal back to invest again, the more your investments compound.

  5. Create Cash Flow Immediately Can you negotiate cash flow monthly or quarterly? The more cash flow you have, the more it can support your lifestyle and eventually be used for additional investments.

  6. Find an Income Amplifier Negotiate preferred terms or sidecar agreements to amplify profit potential.

  7. Plus the Deal Investigate the perks and terms to optimize the deal for lower risk, greater returns, and long-term value.

  8. Eliminate any unnecessary fees, whether they’re through middlemen, banks, or other financial institutions.

  9. Non-recourse loans are one strategy to protect investors if an investment underperforms. Sometimes, the benefits of working with a financial institution outweigh their fees.
