10 percent of your money in a separate and distinct AIP account. Set up a sepa-
rate entity (a limited liability corporation). Not only does this keep you on track
psychologically and emotionally, but AIPs protect what you have created. The
same would apply to other investment vehicles, such as real estate. Set up a sep-
arate and distinct AIP account. Then just continue to invest as usual.
Whatever you decide, do it today. An AIP is a critically important part of

your financial action plan and a guaranteed way for you to pay yourself fi rst, so
that your money can begin working for you. Failure to set up an AIP is a disas-

trous financial mistake most people make. Most people don’t have an AIP, and
are poorer as a result—get the connection? Not doing an AIP produces less
than nothing because the money you “coulda, woulda, shoulda” invested is
gone and lost forever. If you fail to start your AIP, your rate of return is not
zero, it’s worse—minus 100 percent—because that money is gone forever.
The choice not to do an AIP means you chose to lose 100 percent forever.
Please make sure you don’t make that decision. Instead make the decision to
take power over your fi nancial future by starting your AIP today. If it sounds
like I’m repeating myself—I am. This is the most important step you can take,
and yet most people don’t do it.

Reinvest Your Investment Returns

Reinvesting is absolutely critical to your long-term financial success and the

next important practice in your financial action plan. Many investors start out
on the path to wealth by setting up an AIP. They watch their investment account
grow, but then, it all comes to a grinding halt when they sabotage themselves by
stealing earnings, cashing them out, and spending the returns. There is nothing
wrong with enjoying the fruits of your labor, but if you truly want to create
wealth, you must keep “hands off.” Do this faithfully, and you will retire early
and rich with very little effort. All you have to do is allow your money to fulfi ll
its only purpose: to make more money. Don’t steal from your fi nancial future.
Leave your money alone until it grows to where you can live off the income for
the rest of your life. Following this step is really that simple.

Receive Automatic Investor Rates of Return

As an investor whose account grows automatically each month, your objec-
tive is to earn a minimum 10 percent to 12 percent return. I’m not talking
