No one has ever woken up and decided to become an investor without a reason. Most of use are motivated into investing because we either did not have enough money to meet monthly expenses, did not have a sufficient savings or simply lack the desired time to spend with our kids and spouses.
What if you knew the secrets to successful investing that I know? Many of you are afraid to start your investing journey because you told yourself that you do not have the capital to invest. Liar! Success as an investor is dependent upon many factors; one essential factor is understanding the flow of money or capital.
Capital comes in two basic forms: human capital, which means that you work for money; and capital assets, which means that your money works for you. These two produce cash flow. Once you have cash flowing in, you then have four choices for using your cash flow: 1) spend it; 2) hold it; 3) donate it; or 4) invest it. If you decide to invest your money you then have two basic investment choices. You can either lend your money passively through savings accounts, money market funds, bonds, and U.S. Treasuries or you can actively invest your money as a private lender or owner of a business or real estate. The secret here is that human capital does not have to be your own working effort.
Human capital can be the marketable skills of social relationships that you have developed on social platforms. Let’s say that through Instagram you developed a friendship with someone who as an occupation worked several years as a retail manager. You in turn have a distant cousin who owns a novelty gift shop of four years with no prior retail experience and can’t seem to turn a profit which signals a demise on the horizon. You as the investor see an opportunity to create a valuable capital asset and offer your distant cousin an infusion of capital of $200,000 (in the form of experienced management) in exchange for ten percent of profits that you and your retail manager friend will split 50/50.
I did a similar deal with real estate a couple of years ago. A guy owned a 12 unit apartment building while living as a free citizen. Since incarceration, he relied on his inexperienced mother to manage the property. I, knowing that real estate value is dependent on effective management, turned to my realtor cousin and made a $50,000 investment offer (the going rate then for property managers) in exchange for a ten percent equity stake in the building. I had used my cousin’s property management skills to create a capital asset that adds an extra $3067 to my bank account every year.
Capital is always possessed by you. You only need to see money with your mind in order to capitalize from the resources around you. To learn more about me as an incarcerated investor, message me today. Rivers of money do flow.

More than just an investor, Paul Lee has also published coloring books, including:
Animazing Coloring Book: Cooky, Crazy, Animazing Fun (for ages 6-8)
As an amateur illustrator, I was inspired to create fun and exciting illustrations by a nine year old girl who tragically lost her parents and sibling. I wanted to create illustrations that helped her cope with the loss, and helped guide her through the pain of losing her family. Witnessing the joy and excitement my illustrations brought her, my mission and hope became to provide other kids with encouraging and inspiring illustrations that are sure to spark their creativity in a cooky, crazy, fun way!
