How To Achieve Wealth Goals ?


wealthymatters

Wealth is additive.That is to say,the crores are made of lakhs and the lakhs of thousands.And the systems that produce the thousands and the lakhs are the building blocks of the systems that produce the crores.

So if you would achieve the big wealth goals,remember one simple maxim: Don’t break the chain.

Here’s how Jerry Seinfeld uses the above maxim a wall calendar and a marker:

“For each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day. After a few days, you’ll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You’ll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain.” Read more of this post

Of Feuds And Family Businesses


wealthymattersStrong disagreements are inevitable in all human relationships, but families that own businesses are more at risk for serious conflict than ordinary families because the power, status, and money at stake are greater.

There are seven predictable stages of conflict.These stages are largely avoidable, but the owners of family businesses have to be aware of them,and of the ways to extricate themselves when they get caught up in a spiral.

The Seven Stages Of Conflict Are:

1) Interests Diverge :

An interest is a broad desire that a person or group of people have for something. Some interests are shared; others are individual. Most business families are united first and foremost in their wanting  to keep the business healthy. However, given that family members have different roles and responsibilities as the family business grows, interests naturally diverge. Some family members work in the business, and some are owners (some are both; others are neither). Those employed in the business will be more inclined to channel profits to re-investment and bonuses, while owners will be disposed to pay higher dividends. Where anyone stands on a particular issue will be influenced by where they sit in the family business system. Read more of this post

wealthymattersIn family businesses, hiring and staffing decisions are based on relationship and obligation as much as on competence and experience. After all, one purpose of family businesses is to provide employment for the family members ! But that doesn’t mean all family members perform effectively,all the time. People may slack off or stop collaborating, and sometimes they get a pass for their mistakes or behaviors. At times, they may even be disruptive to the smooth running of the business.

So what can be done in such circumstances? Read more of this post

Making Blockchain Technology In Life Insurance Work For You


wealthymattersBack in April 2018, when I read the press release from Cognizant about having teamed up with a consortium of fifteen Indian life insurers and developed a blockchain solution to facilitate cross-company data-sharing to help these life insurers reduce their reliance on data intermediaries and aggregators in obtaining customer and policy details for a wide range of critical purposes, such as know-your-customer due diligence, financial and medical underwriting, risk assessment, fraud detection, and regulatory compliance, I was FURIOUS.

Why?

You see, I am a long-standing customer of 2 of these 15 life insurance companies. One of them was the company I made my very first purchase from all those years ago, on the recommendation of a banker I trusted. And at that time I had in all honesty made full disclosure of all the information they sought in their proposal forms and the additional queries their underwriters had. However, I made the disclosures for the limited purpose of purchasing specific policies from these companies. And at a time that block-chain was nowhere in anybody’s mind space.
