First Twitter Lesson on Infinite Banking in Canada

Hi friends.  This morning I ran my first “Twitter lesson” for an hour. I can’t take credit for inventing this strategy as I think I stole it from a few people in my timeline who I have seen do the same thing.

In case you missed it, here it is laid out below in the correct chronological order.  Of course, there wasn’t space to get into too much detail with the 140 character limit so if any of these bring up questions for you please ask and I’m happy to answer them.

 

Hi Twitter friends… some on here have mentioned that they don't really understand what I do. What is this whole Infinite Banking thing?—

The fastest way to learn about Infinite Banking is to read the book "Becoming Your Own Banker" by R. Nelson Nash ow.ly/lgN1A—
Laurent (@laurentmunier) May 22, 2013

R. Nelson Nash's prodigy Pamela Yellen wrote the other seminal book on the subject "Bank on Yourself" ow.ly/lgN9L—

Infinite Banking allows families and business owners to 1) build wealth & 2) earn a safe and secure dividend…more…—

Infinite Banking also gives you 3) legal protection on your money 4) saves a huge amount in taxes to the gov't and 5) interest to the banks.—
Laurent (@laurentmunier) May 22, 2013

Most people have never heard of it because 1) they couldn't afford the advice before & 2) banks don't offer it, so it's not advertised.—

What I do is take a millionaire's financial strategy and offer it to thousandaires via my website and videos on the internet.—

What's the "trick" behind Infinite Banking? It's a specially designed whole life insurance policy that we structure for the cash value.—
Laurent (@laurentmunier) May 22, 2013

Once you've built up some cash value inside your insurance policy, you can leverage against it for whatever you want. Kind of like a house.—
Laurent (@laurentmunier) May 22, 2013

The books and websites suggest buying consumer goods like cars and trips. We're different – we suggest buying investments and "stacking".—
Laurent (@laurentmunier) May 22, 2013

When you "stack" investments you can literally earn $ twice on the same dollar… sort of like a bank, but not fractional reserve.—
Laurent (@laurentmunier) May 22, 2013

I've been talking at you for 1hr. Need to run to a meeting. Please send questions and I will reply quickly.—

[VIDEO] Oil Sands Debate at Cambridge House Investment Conference – Marin Katusa from Casey Research and Rex Weyler from Greenpeace

An excellent, well informed and well thought out debate on Canada’s Oil Sands and especially the proposed pipelines that are supposed to run through BC.

It’s great to see some common sense thrown in this mix and not just yelling and screaming from both sides.  It seems like the pipeline debate in BC is dominated by PR talking points on both sides.

It’s refreshing to see 2 people who are clearly on opposite sides of this debate talk it out and propose some sensible solutions.

Featuring:

Marin Katusa – Casey Research Chief Energy Investment Strategist
Rex Weyler – Co-founder of Greenpeace

How to Sit in a Chair and Enjoy a Cup of Tea

A great read from the Raptitude blog.  In today’s go go go world, sometimes all we need to do is stop and do nothing.

First, slow down, like you’ve just turned off the highway into a quiet neighborhood. Normal rat-race speed is unsuitable for what we’re about to do. Hurrying through the process of relaxing defeats its purpose.
