The Best Investment is Yourself!

Warren Buffett, one of the smartest and most successful businessmen of our time, was recently asked what he thought was the best investment anyone could make in these difficult times.

His answer was fast and simple ...

"The most important investment you can make is in yourself."

That could very well be the best advice Mr. Buffett has ever offered. If ever there was a time to take control of your future, it's now.

Never before have we faced such perilous times.

A free-falling stock market is jeopardizing the comfortable retirement of millions. Once rock-solid, mainstay companies are struggling to survive. Millions of blue and white-collar jobs are on the line. In fact, a just-released government report talks about 533,000 jobs lost in November alone -- the most in a single month in 34 years.

And a lot of experts agree -- the worst is yet to come.

But there's a small group of people who have risen above it all.

They're folks who don't have to worry about a free-falling stock market -- or if their jobs are going to be there at the end of the day.

In fact, these people don't even have "jobs" as most people know them.

On a typical day, they'll wake up, make a cup of coffee, read the paper, maybe go for a run or get a little exercise...

And when they're good and ready, they'll saunter over to their laptop -- and begin their day.

No alarm clocks buzzing. No drive through rush-hour traffic. No bosses looking over their shoulder.

Heck, they don't even have to get dressed if they don't want to.

Yet they have an opportunity to make much more money than the average full-time "work-a-day" Jane...

$50,000.

$100,000.

$200,000.

Many (who choose to spend more time at it) are making $500,000 a year or more.

Better still, they're making that kind of money doing fun and interesting "work." Using their minds and their creativity -- while providing an essential, very-much-in-demand service to a $2.3 trillion (and still growing) industry that's virtually recession-proof.

And it's all because they took Mr. Buffett's good advice long before he gave it:

They made a simple, yet all-powerful, investment in themselves that will pay off for them for the rest of their lives.

I highly recommend you do the same today. Especially today...
