Lyons Leadership

I have always hated sheep.  If we were all meant to be the same, wouldn’t we look, talk and think the same?  Instead, I prefer to be a leader and do better than the average Joe.  There is nowhere in my life that this is more apparent than my investments.

You see, years ago, I was big into mutual funds and stocks.  Now, I am not saying these are not great investments, but rather, they were not great for me.  Personally, I felt that the return was low and I wouldn’t be able to make money as quick as I wanted to.

Instead of giving up, I took up the challenge to find a better place and way to invest my money.  Some of the places my money ended up where real estate investments and a couple of businesses.  But the real gem (in my case) ended up just a very small portion of my money that I invested in an established high yield investment program (HYIP).

What I was really excited about regarding this investment was how well it was doing.  The return (in terms of dollars) that this little pool of money was generating was the same as the rest of my whole portfolio combined!  Instead of shoving all my money into it, I didn’t get greedy and recognized that the exceptionally performing investment was a risky one as well.

If you are happy with the performance of your portfolio, I would suggest that you do nothing.  On the other hand, if you are not happy and you think your portfolio could use a bit of zip, check out HYIPs – but just be sure to put all your eggs in that basket.
