7 Levels of Investor

7 Levels of Investor
John Burley (Author)

Product Description
What type of investor are you? Have your investment experiences been positive, negative or mixed? Would you like to know why you get the results you do when you invest?

Despite the many and varied personality types in the world, there are really only 7 basic types (or levels) of investor…and most people stay fixed at the same level for their entire lives. The bad news is that they are often stuck at a level that prevents their financial success. The good news is that with a little effort anyone, including you, can easily upgrade his or her skills and investor level.

Understanding the 7 Levels of Investor is the first critical key to increasing your financial independence and knowing where you are at is necessary before you can reach where you want to be:

Level Zero: The Non Existent
Level One: The Borrower
Level Two: The Save
Level Three: The Passive Investor
Level Four: The Automatic Investor
Level Five: The Active Investor
Level Six: The Capitalist

John Burley has achieved what most people would consider impossible. From a background of corporate sales and financial planning, in 1989 John moved to the Phoenix, Arizona to begin a full time real estate investing career. Since that time John has personally completed over 1200 real estate deals. Once a year John hosts what has become known as the “Rolls Royce” of Real Estate Investing Trainings, The Level 5 Burley Field Training Boot Camp. It’s hands-on, shoes-on-the-street experience were students participate in the research, evaluation and buying of properties.

In his book The Cashflow Quadrant™ Robert Kiyosaki discusses the concept of the 7 Levels of Investors. Robert acknowledges John Burley, for introducing him to this concept and for this chapter in The Cashflow Quadrant™.

Robert says “John Burley is one of the brightest minds in the world of real estate investing.” I agree John is brilliant and an awesome teacher. He can take the complex and make it simple. I was very fortunate to work with him for several years when he was traveling to Australia and New Zealand teaching. He became a special friend.

John Burley taught a 3 hour seminar for many years in Australia and New Zealand which was jam packed with great content. At these seminars he went through the levels of investors. I have sat in with him teaching more than 50 times so I am very familiar with the subject!

John Burley also has an excellent book I highly recommend – Money Secrets of the Rich.

I will explain each of the levels.

Level 0 – Those with nothing to invest
These people have no money to invest. It does not necessarily mean they do not earn money, in fact in many cases they are top earners. They simply spend what they earn. They spend with abandon and when asked where there money has gone they often would not know. They pay little attention to money mattes and can often be heard saying “money is not important to me”.

When I first commenced working as a financial planner I was shocked to realize that some top income earners could go through their money so quickly. I also learned that people with modest incomes often were better savers. This phenomenon stumped me for a while until I learned that it is not how much we earn that is important, what matters is how much we keep and invest.

It was later when I met Robert Kiyosaki and then John Burley that I truly understood the reasons why some people could earn so much money and spend it just as quickly, while others with much more modest incomes, were often wealthier.
