4 Streams Of Income That Will Grow Your Wealth

4 Streams Of Income That Will Grow Your Wealth

Summary: Want to create passive income? Here are four income stream ideas to try out.

Studying about millionaires and billionaires is quite interesting. Why? They are more often than not regular and ordinary people, who with their sheer dedication and remarkable discipline have achieved everything they ever wanted to.

Successful millionaires too have twenty-four hours a day, but they use it differently from the rest of the world. One thing which is common among them apart from being wealthy is that they have multiple streams of income.

According to an article on CNBC, 65% of millionaires have three sources of income, 45% of millionaires have four sources of income, and 29% of millionaires have five or more sources of income streams.

Passive income is a powerful tool.  It can increase your wealth passively. So, here are the top four streams of income that will boost your bank accounts.

Before we begin to tell you about the different streams of income, we would also like to allow you to hone your leadership skills with the best motivational speaker– Dr. Vivek Bindra at the most powerful business training event ‘Leadership Funnel Program 2.0’.

1. Real Estate Syndications

Passive income streams are one of the basic wealth-building blocks. Every person on this planet only has 24 hours in a day. No matter how much you can actively work, you will always hit a limit on how much you can earn and how much you can save.

With passive income, you can turbocharge your wealth generation as you will continue to make money even as you sleep. Real estate syndications are one of the best passive sources of income. It is a group of investors that purchase a particular commercial or multi-family property. These investments feature yearly returns of around 8% and typically run for about five years. Apart from these above-average returns, when syndications sell the purchased building, investors are provided with a 30%-50% lump-sum return at the end of those five years.

2. Investment Income

Investment income is another common type of passive income stream that will grow your wealth. This category is more generic as it includes dividends from equities and bonds. These investments will not pay life-changing money, but as you grow your wealth, the stock market is a fantastic place to park your money safely while it grows and earns quarterly or monthly income. The key to wealth building is diversification and making smart investments can help you achieve that goal.

Another way is to attend India’s most powerful business event ‘Leadership Funnel Program 2.0’ with Dr. Vivek Bindra who is a business coach to many corporations in and outside India.

3. Business Income

Many people do a side-hustle to earn extra income. This may look ordinary, but in the long run, it can help you to grow your wealth exponentially. Whether making or selling something or providing services, owning a business opens up a world of limitless income possibilities. Suppose you’re a copywriter and you are quite good at your work. You can find clients and work as a freelancer and earn something extra. You can reinvest it in your business or you can leverage your side gig to save more money tax-free.

4. Renting Out Your Car

From BlaBla to QuickRide Carpool & Taxi peer-to-peer rentals have become remarkably popular. Many companies were hit during the pandemic and sold many of their cars. You can turn this into a side business of sorts. It’s not just property you can invest in and rent — if market trends continue, renting out cars is fast becoming a viable income stream!

If you want to grow your wealth, you need multiple streams of revenue. Relying too heavily on one stream typically is risky. What happens if you lose it? Similarly, if that singular income stream requires work, you limit how much you can make because there are limited hours in a day that you can work.

All of the four streams of income above are fantastic ways to grow your net worth. If you haven’t already, consider diversifying your portfolio by implementing the income streams suggested above! It will help you to increase your wealth passively.

The idea of managing a business is easier said than done and we completely agree with you. This is why to help you move forward with your business goals, we at Bada Business offer an exclusive Business Coaching Program that comes with Foundation courses, specialized courses, and value-added courses.

4 Ways To Reduce Risks & Make Good Financial Investment In The Market

4 Ways To Reduce Risks & Make Good Financial Investment In The Market
4 Ways To Reduce Risks & Make Good Financial Investment In The Market

Summary: Making investments in stocks and mutual funds is a great way of achieving your financial goals. But how to reduce risks when you are a beginner? Find it out.

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has impacted the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange. Such volatility of the market may cause beginners to panic and slip away from the equity markets, vowing never to come back again.

Any investment big or small is subject to market risks. The thumb rule is to protect your principal amount. While the stock market involves risks and can`t be entirely predicted or avoided, one can protect the portfolio by being mindful, careful, and observant of market changes to minimize the investment risks. There are many online business courses for entrepreneurs to offer in-depth information on financial investment.

So apart from creating a diversified portfolio with quality stocks, you may also listen to the experts like Meghana V Malkan and Vishal B Malkan from April 1st to April 3rd, 2022 to learn how to make a mindful investment.

Here are four ways that will help you to reduce the risk while investing:

1. Keep Your Portfolio Diversified

What you do to your portfolio matters and when it comes to diversifying it, it can help in more than one way. Investing in more than one asset class will minimize the risk. Diversification means to spread out investments in different types of funds across various sectors and not stick to a particular theme or an idea.

While over-diversification means low-risk and low returns, a concentrated portfolio are a high risk-high return concept advisable to only those who are experts in the field. An investor`s job is to find the middle ground between over-diversification and concentration.

2. Buy Value & Buy Cheap

Would you invest in a property which is quite expensive or would you want to invest in a real estate property that is available at a cheaper price and have the chances of gaining momentum in the future?

The best thing about value investing is that it offers maximum margin safety. But the downside is that it offers limited growth, unlike the sectors that offer unlimited growth with high uncertainties. To find themes that are available at cheaper prices and experiencing temporary downturns but are expected to do well in the future. If you are just a beginner, you can take online courses for entrepreneurs to gain basic knowledge related to stock market.

3. Invest in SIPs

Systematic Investment Planning which is also known as SIP is a great investment plan for everyone. Hence, it is advisable to maintain a disciplined approach towards mutual fund SIPs no matter where the world is going as it can help in averaging out the NAVs at various levels.

4. Avoid Adding Stocks With the help of Margins

Avoid taking leverage and adding stocks with the help of margins. Pure cash investing is a slow and steady process to win the race.

Investing in stocks can be overwhelming especially for beginners. However, with the above-mentioned strategies, you can begin on a positive note. These strategies will help you to minimize risk while investing. To ensure that you make some good investments, you can either consult a financial advisor or you can take our problem solving courses that are aimed to offer extensive knowledge.

7 Expert Tips To Allocate A Marketing Budget For A New Startup Business!

7 Expert Tips To Allocate A Marketing Budget For A New Startup Business!
7 Expert Tips To Allocate A Marketing Budget For A New Startup Business!

According to a report in the Times of India, “India is home to 81 unicorns as of now, with a total valuation of $274 billion.” With so many startups joining the league of Unicorns, it has become essential for the existing ones to focus on their branding and marketing game.

Branding and marketing are those two pillars in an organization that help a business to reach out to its potential customers. But as there are so many marketing avenues, small startup businesses often face the challenge to determine where they should invest their limited marketing resources.

Startups often lack clarity at early stages on how much time, money, and effort they should spend on their advertising, public relations, branding, social media planning, and content strategy at the outset.

So, if you have a startup business made from your dreams, passion, and determination, here is a list of some of the most effective strategies to help entrepreneurs and founders to develop first-time marketing budgets to optimize their investments and achieve maximum results:

1. Master One Method First

Just like when we learn driving, we want to do everything at once. But, as the primary rule, we learn to control the steering wheel. Similarly, as an entrepreneur, you should pick one thing and do it well. Once you have mastered it you can start focusing on building out the other options as you begin to get more business. Focus all your efforts, time, and money on a single method and use that as your power to get more business and break through the noise.

2. Pick Measurable Outcomes

When looking out for the best marketing choices, it is best to find out what you want for your measurable outcomes to be. For instance, if you want to sell 200 products in your first month, with an average value of INR 500 per customer, you should provide this to a marketing company to receive quotes on actions, and not just marketing services. It will help them to filter out the options deemed best for your business on actual budget samples.

3. Allot a Budget to a Few Targeted Areas

It will be unrealistic for any business to allot a budget without considering their revenue. A new startup must need to consider its targeted areas and how much budget should be allocated. It is best to focus on one target area and then grow into others as traction is gained. You can also take an online business course for entrepreneurs to learn more about marketing and advertisement.

4. Find Out How Each Strategy Will Impact Your Business

While budget allocation initially is a smart decision, understanding how each strategy is going to impact your business is paramount. Dedicating between 10 to 20 percent of gross revenue is a good starting point to invest in marketing and advertisement. Basics such as collaterals should not go beyond 5% of your gross revenue unless a brand strategy calls for it. PRs, advertising, communications are all similar. But to determine what will help your business to grow and attract your potential customers is essential. Focus on what is going to help you succeed.

5. Build a Scalable & Multi-Year Strategy

In the first year, you need a logo, a website, and some basic branding elements. But one most essential thing is content. You need great content for any marketing strategy to work. And as your company grows, you can spend more on advertising and promotions. When your company begins to scale, you can increase your budget.

6. Know Your Customer Journey

One of the most crucial things that every startup must do is that they should have a solid understanding of their customer journey. Run test ads on social media platforms and Google to find out how much you will have to spend to acquire a customer. You can also take an online course for entrepreneurs for marketing.

Investing in PR and branding can help you to lower your ad expenditure, only if done right. It will also increase your conversions, and give you a better idea of how much you must invest and in which medium of marketing.

7. Begin with Organic Marketing

There is no magic formula or shortcut to marketing your brand and advertising your products to increase your revenue. Startups should always begin with organic efforts, such as content marketing, PR, SEO, before diving into big ad spending. Why? It offers three benefits:

a).  It reduces your budget

b). It lets you find out what works by trial and error before investing in advertising.

c). Delivers ROI

Every single penny plays an essential role in a startup budget. Hence, it is important to allocate the budget carefully for marketing and advertising. Hope the above-mentioned techniques will help you to seek out choices that will give you the best results for your startup business.

Having a compelling marketing idea is great. But you know what is even better? Personal guidance to increase your brand presence consistently to facilitate sales, engage your customers and close leads. Our Problem Solving Courses can help you to overcome marketing and advertising challenges.

1. To Educate Entrepreneurs

The original purpose of conducting a free Masterclass online was to give small business owners, entrepreneurs, and many SMEs a greater insight into the often confusing world of business fundamentals.

2. Gain Valuable Insights From Industry Experts

For every Masterclass, an external speaker is invited to share his expertise and present years of experience, providing an excellent opportunity to gain insights directly from experts in the field. Topics are chosen based on requests from the audience and a relevant speaker in roped-in.

3. Network with Fellow Professionals

Though LinkedIn is a popular platform for professionals, interacting with fellow professionals from a large community is a different experience, altogether. With up to more than 2000 people attending our Masterclass, we get a unique mix of professionals in every session. The discussion and interaction that follow these webinars are informative and help in building a network with fellow entrepreneurs, SMEs, and solopreneurs.

How Investors can contribute with more than Investing Just Money into the Startups

Investors
ईज ऑफ डूइंग बिजनेस

Investment is the blood of any startup that is vital for its smooth functioning. However, investing in startups is a lot more than just buying stocks.

A report by IBM (Institute for Business Value and Oxford Economics) stated that around 90 percent of the Indian startups fail within the first 5 years of their inception due to the lack of innovation.

Truth to be told, many entrepreneurs themselves believe that post the initial ideation, the startups fail to scale because they lack funds, strategy, or strong leadership. More often than not founders or the owners of small businesses place too much focus on raising money, rather than emphasizing the value that each investor can bring to the table.

So how can an investor add value to the startups beyond making investments into the company?

  1. Financial Aid & Funding

Needless to say that backing startups with finances are often a huge advantage if you are an investor. By providing capital and financial aid, an investor adds immense value to a startup. But, it would be beneficial for the startup if an investor brings more than just money to the table.

As the initial years are crucial for small businesses, investors can help MSMEs and SMEs with their deep industry insights and mentorship. They can help young entrepreneurs in the early stage of the business and guide them to success.

  1. Strategic Planning & Decision Making

Customer satisfaction, cost-effectiveness, and relevance of the product or service in the target market are often lost in the struggle to scale. A seasoned investor who has gained expertise with years of experience can lay a crucial role in decision making.

By making available strategic planning, investors can also help in achieving market penetration and profitable operating ratios.

  1. Network Creation

For small businesses, it is essential to gain access to the right people at the right time in the early stages. An established investor can help in the creation of valuable connectivity to the potential customer or the right talent pool.

Young entrepreneurs who hail from tier II or III cities struggle in finding the right investors and right talents due to the limited access. Hence, investors can help small business owners by being the mediator in business talks. They can also help entrepreneurs in grooming and incubating new profitable ventures to help them grow.

  1. Visibility & Credibility

To add and increase the overall value to an innovative startup venture media attention and access to established domains are required. Hence, an investor can help to build associations with industry doyens, which results from a startup gain visibility and credibility in the market.

Making introductions, build meaningful & profitable associations, giving insights, an investor can do more than just buying the company stocks. With their immense contribution, they can increase the chances of that company`s success.

If you think about it more deeply, why an experienced investor shouldn`t help the startup he is investing in? Want to know how you can find an investor for your business?
