What is the best college major to become a billionaire?

Need to keep in mind that finance capital and not industrial capital dominates.

See now that I was wrong to worship God or any stand in for god like the Idea, morality, love or virtue.

Power is virtue, weakness is sin

Money is God, it is the magickal substance that can turn anything into its opposite. It can let you live 1000 lives by buying the lives of others. It can buy you any talent.

In UK, which is one of the most powerful economies in Europe, one needs to understand the challenges before setting up a conglomerate. One should also be abreast with business law and details of paper work before starting a business. The first and foremost step to start a business is to register the business under the Companies Act.  The United Kingdom has benefited from a structure of company registration since 1844. Nowadays UK company registration issues are dealt in accordance to the Companies Act 1985 and the revised legislation enclosed in the Companies Act 1989. There are five structure under which one can register their business i.e. Private limited company (Ltd), Public limited company (plc) (including “listed companies”), Partnership (Self-Employed), Limited liability partnerships (LLPs) and Sole trader (Self-Employed). Since setting up and running involves transaction of money, so it will be a wise idea to understand the tax and banking norms. 

To keep your business in sync with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and other official bodies, it’s vital that your business s molded in the right legal structure as this decision affects the National Insurance and tax you pay, the financial liability that you may incur if your business runs into problem, the accounting records that you should maintain, means by which your business can raise money and most importantly the management decisions.

You will be liable for any debts incurred in the running of the business which is unlike, under the limited company route. 

In terms of accounting, you’re required to submit an annual self assessment form to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and keep correct and updated records of all business accounts and transactions. You also need to pay income tax on profits and also give national insurance contributions on those profits. In case of loses, it can be offset against tax on other income.

Many personal finance articles have been written on the issue of money.  Can’t say I have been moved to action by many.  First I’d like to say it is ok that you feel down about the current situation about your personal finances.  I give you permission to feel your feeling for the next 24 hours and then pull yourself by your boot straps and let’s what we can do. 

There exist many a definition, I want to share with you  my personal finance definition:

Financial freedom is not an event, it is a skill.

I bet right now with the current economic situation you are saying to yourself, “I just wish I could the lotto!”  Boy don’t we all and yet statistics and personal finance facts show that the majority of people who win the lottery, end up broke and worse off before their winnings! Imagine that.  You among the many seeking wealth, riches, fame few people realize that money isn’t the solution to their problems;  the way you think about money is the problem and the solution. 

I can almost see you going oh yeah, give me the money and I’ll show you change in mindset!

My favorite entrepreneur of all times, Henry Ford was once asked, “What if you lost everything you own?” He responded without missing a beat: “I’d have it all back and more within 5 years.”

Being a master of your own personal finance is not about what is in the bank; it’s about the ability to acquire the skill that will show you how to produce new streams of income and wealth based on your knowledge and experience.

So before we go any further on this issue let us tackle the real problem here that is impeding your personal finance for good!  Why you might ask?  Well without the mastery of these 5 steps, your desire for your goal for financial success and financial freedom is highly unlikely!  This is why big players in any industry have coaches, Oprah has a life coach, football players and basketball players have coaches and mentors.  Tiger woods after every bad game will go in for coaching and training.  Why?  Those who achieve great financial success do not go it alone.  They always have a team.  Those who achieve great poverty have the do it yourself mentality!

Why is it important to plan personal finances?

5 Steps That Will Guarantee You Become Master Your Personal Finances

1. How do you think about money? Say you come up with an idea to do something. Do you think that will never work?  Are you afraid to follow through?  Are you scared of loosing money or do you see every dollar spent as an investment?

2. How do you manage and invest your time?  The average man has at his disposal  6 discretionary hours.  This is time they can do whatever they want.  No work, no chores etc.  Many will watch T.V., attend pricey sports events, spend money on meals at a restaurant and movies, see where I am going with this? Do you do personal finance budgeting?

3. How do you leverage the talents and life experiences you ALREADY POSSESS?
Most people see their experiences as failures.  They only talk of how they tried to do something as failed.  Thomas Edison failed more than I care to count, and yet he persisted to light the whole world. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas A. Edison

4. Do you have a mentor and/or coach with a proven personal finance curriculum? This is the true measure of your desire for financial freedom.  This is where you literally put your money where your mouth is, can’t afford a mentor you say?  Well what was the last book you read? Gossip magazines do not count as literature sorry ?!

5. What do you think is “risky,” and what do you think is “safe and secure”?  Most people never break into the realm of the 5% wealthy group who own 95% of  the worlds resources because they want to play it safe.  They want the money, the fame, the accolades but they feel they should not have to go through the process of creating this wealth.  No wonder the internet and other places are full of scams and get rich quick opportunities.  Remember this success does not  happen overnight, but one night success does happen.  Someone once said to me, it takes 3 years to be an overnight success!
