If Something You Thought to be True, Wasn’t True…
11/02/2009 by
It is difficult to get the right solution when you start out with the wrong premise. If we center ourselves in a false belief system, we become what we believe. An example of that false belief system existed until 1954. It was common belief that no human could run a mile in less than four minutes and live to tell about it. Medically, it was believed at that time that to attempt to run a mile in less than four minutes would bring about certain disaster to the human body. No one in the history of mankind was ever timed running a sub-four minute mile… no one, that is, until Roger Banister. On a sunny Saturday morning, the young Englishman defeated a belief system and certain death by running one mile in 3:59:40.
Tax Cuts and the Rich
07/13/2009 by
A common misconception is that tax cuts are for the rich. This is nothing more than political “get-me-re-elected” talk. It is obvious that the rich make up such a small portion of the tax paying population, the politicians view this as a small group of voters. There are more poor, middle class, and upper middle class voters than there are rich voters. So don’t be surprised when a politician favors the area where there are more voters. The tactic is as old as dirt. Divide and conquer, blame someone else for your problems, so you will vote for them. These are not poor or middle class people running for office. Remember, these people will spend millions to get elected to a position that pays a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year. Makes sense, right?

Breaking the Cycle Investors’ Dilemma’s
02/19/2009 by
For most investors, the Investors’ Dilemma remains undefined and continues over a lifetime. The first step toward operating outside of this cycle is becoming aware of it and you have already done that (if you haven’t done that read the previous blog “Understanding the Investors’ Dilemma”). The next step is to choose an investment philosophy in which you believe. An investment philosophy is made up of three fundamental principles: your True Purpose for Money, your Market Belief, and your Investment Strategy.
Investments: Fees, Costs, Commissions?
01/06/2009 by
From the desk of Paul Nichols: President of Financial Abundance Inc.
When it comes to making investment decisions, many consumers know they are ill prepared to do it themselves. That’s why you’re smart to turn to a financial advisor for help. A talented, dedicated advisor can help you develop a portfolio that’s suitable and appropriate for your situation, one that’s designed to meet your goals and can generate higher returns at lower risks– and with less work– than you are likely to obtain on your own.
Wealth Advisors: You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know

I originally heard the question why not you, why not now in 1992 at a business function. The billionaire Richard DeVos was speaking, where afterwards I had an opportunity to sit down and spend some time with him.

Coaching vs Planning
05/13/2008 by
Does the information from the Financial Services industry leave you confused and bewildered? If someone really could accurately predict market movement on a consistent basis, what would be their motivation for telling you? If what you thought was the best way to invest in the market turned out not to be…when would you want to know?
Our Mission
05/13/2008 by
Our goal at Financial Abundance is to save the world one investor at a time. We want to play our part in the solution to create peace of mind for individuals, families and businesses about their investments. This can be accomplished, through education and understanding with research and studies from Nobel laureates and professors at leading universities around the country. We want to show people that they can, for the first time in their lives, have peace of mind about how they invest; that sleepless nights of doubt can be converted into confidence about their direction regardless of the current economic conditions. Regardless if you’re from Penn State or the state pen you can learn how to be a prudent and educated investor.
