Internet Business Gurus; List Building From The Start – Learn The Basic Keys To A Profitable List

Jun 29

Posted by Dan Newsh in business, investment gurus | No Comments

A must for the professional Internet marketer is knowing how to build a business list of clients or subscribers that you can mail your affiliate program, product or service.

First you need to Build a Business List of people that want or buy stuff already. You have to ask the right questions when your Building a Business List. 1) Are they buying stuff now? 2) Are there lots of people spending money to reach them? (type the product or service in Google and see who is advertising on the right side). These are ads that people are paying Goggle to run. If you want to sell a how to book ” How to play better golf a-z” you would Google “How to play better golf a-z” then look on the right side and see who’s selling that product. You want to know that purple are spending money to sell the product you want to sell. This will give a you good Idea if your product is one the people are buying now and start Building a Business List. 3 Use ClickBank.com to determine if the market is buying long term and not a fade.

We tested hundreds of Business List Building systems some are good most are old and poor programming. Kevin Sipe who is a SEO expert has his new system that just came out. program makes it easy to make Capture Pages. Type in SEO Capture Pages on a Google search and look for yourself also search under SEO web-site designing.

Here is the Ugly Truth about Business List Building, some people will not buy it (your products- service). Some may never buy your stuff. But almost all of them will buy something at some other time. 1) Treat your list Right, even small lists, they will make you money if you treat them with Respect. Even if you stop Building a Business list if they are a Quality list you can earn from them for years, because they like and respect you as a friend and an Authoritative figure.. 2) Only mail your list cool stuff and things that you would like to receive in your email box. Your list is already getting bombarded with junk mail they don’t want. You want to send them emails that they enjoy opening because your always giving something of Value to them.

OK here is the Big Secret Formula for List Building: 1) Find something that will help your market and will be of Value to your people. 2) You want to offer your list something for free in Exchange for their email address. 3) Do that A LOT! That is List Building 101.

Here are the Mechanics of How Business List Building Works. Send Traffic to your Webpages or Capture page. Offer the Free thing to get their email address and then send them to another page about their free stuff. Some will join your Business list and some will buy your stuff. It’s that Easy.
Here are 4 Big questions that pop up. 1) How do I get Traffic? The big question.. 2) What do I give away? 3) How do I turn Leads Into Buyers” 4) How do I set all the stuff up?

First question Traffic: You either buy it or get it from JV partners. The big boys or the Guru Business List Builders just buy their traffic. Google adwords – Yahoo paid search – Banners – CPM mail drops. 1.) Traffic turns into leads 2.) The leads turn into buyers 3.) The buyers turn into repeat buyers.

When Building a Business List you need to make more money then you spend on leads, so let’s do the Math. 1.) If you spend 10 cents per visitor and you get 100 visitors to you Web Page or Capture Page it will cost you $100.00. 2.) If your Opt In page (Capture Page) converts at 20% (which is about normal for “Cold Traffic” you’d end up with 200 leads from that original 1000 visitors (Traffic). That’s 50 cents a lead per subscriber. Here is the Cool part. OK lets say you convert only 3% of your leads into Buyers in the 1st week of having them. 200 x 3% = 6 sales. If your selling something for $97.00 you would make $582.00. Take out the $100 you spent for traffic and your net is $482.00 minus what you product cost? The Best part is the you still have the list or leads so now you can offer them other cool stuff. There are still 196 people that have not bought anything. Believe me they are as good as money in the Bank. The Internet Millionaire guy that taught me Business List Building made over $1,000,000 on one of his lists of just over 7,000 subscribers the last 2 years. What’s Great is that you already have a net profit from having 6 people buy in the first week you started Building your Business List. Now the list you built is all pure profit when you mail these people in the future with other cool products and services.

Are you in a MLM or Network Marketing company? List Building will help your recruiting big time. One Online marketer I know is very good at List Building. She loves MLM and Internet businesses and by the way she buys most of her leads like I explained above. In one company last year she brought in over 800 personal sign-ups by herself. That’s what I’m going to Teach everyone to do. So now you can run with the Big Hitter List Builders and blow right passed them.

Next Big Question is “What do I give away? 1.) The Old Stand by Free Reports. 2.) Down-loadable Audios. 3.) Videos are really hot. 4.) As long as its something your prospects can benefit from and get Value for, your Good.

Next How do I turn People into Buyers? This is what nobody really teaches in Business List Building. What people even most Gurus don’t realize is the money isn’t really in the list. It’s in the Relationships with your list! Once you Create a Great Relationship with your list, your set for Life!
Simple Steps: Rise above the Noise and Be Different. No Hype Stand up and Step up. Give Excellent Value to your list or subscribers. Be a strait shooter (NO Bull) Help people decide they want your stuff instead of convincing them. Use audios, videos, teleseminars and email to communicate with your list.

Why This Works: You and I primarily Trust two people. A friend or a person of Authority. This is Human Nature and never has and never will change. The system I’m going to teach you does both.
In the next segment of Business List Building 101 we will show you how to set up Auto responders for follow up messages to your list. Also we will show you how to build Capture Pages with our system, it is so easy you will be a pro instantly.

Well this should give you a good start to building your list. I believe that if you do what we tell you to do and stick to it you will be the best marketer you can be. And that’s all you can ask for in the crazy thing called Life. Smile your on your way. And no your not going to learn everything in one day. So relax and work day to day this is called your DMO or Daily Method of Operation.

No Load Mutual Funds: Investment Hype vs. Investment Help

May 29

Posted by Ulli G. Niemann in mutual fund, stocks, strategies | No Comments

With the internet such a huge part of our daily lives, many investors have access to a wide range of instant investment information.

Whether youre into stocks, bonds, mutual funds, futures or options, there are tons of electronic investment newsletters offering to turn your small stake into a giant fortune. All you need to do is subscribe and watch your portfolio soar.

Yeah, right!

As a practicing investment advisor specializing in no load mutual funds, I have received my share of e-mails from disillusioned subscribers wanting to know how to better evaluate newsletter services.

While there are no absolutes, I can give you a few pointers that might help you make a better decision:

1. Stay away from the most obvious hype. Ads promising to turn your $10,000 into $1 million in 2 years by buying this incredible stock or hot commodity are not promoting investing they are selling gambling. Follow the “If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is” rule.

2. Most mutual fund newsletters wont make those outlandish claims, but some of them are still pushing the truth as far as they can. So try to get a free issue or two to examine. If you can’t get a sample, check if they have a trial period? How about a money back guarantee? If not, pay with your credit card. These days youre pretty well protected by this payment method even if the newsletter doesn’t offer a satisfaction guarantee.

3. Consider the editor as well as the disclaimer notes. Is he or she only publishing a newsletter? Or is he also an investment advisor with a practice?

Why would that last point matter? I may be biased, but I believe that you get far better advice from a writer who also is in the trenches every day investing their own as well as their clients portfolios. They would have far better insights as to what works and what doesnt than someone who has the theory down but no practical experience.

4. Look at the investment recommendations. Are they suggesting you buy into a certain orientation such as mid cap, small cap or large value? Or are they picking specific investments based on a variety of technical indicators?

In my no-load mutual fund practice I use specific recommendations, even for my free newsletter subscribers. They are first based on my trend tracking indicator giving us the green light and secondarily on the selection of mutual funds based on momentum analysis.

The more specific the recommendations, the better, because that allows you to follow along either just on paper (which you should do at first) or with your actual portfolio.

5. Are they recommending when to sell a mutual fund either because of gains or to limit your losses? This to me is the most important issue. If there is no plan in place for getting out, how will you ever know when to sell? This has been the greatest downfall of most publishers (and investors!) since the bear market of 2000 not selling even if market conditions dictate it would be in your best interest to do so.

The advice of most newsletter services can make you money in bull markets. However, with the continuation of the bear market still a distinct possibility; be sure to look at any newsletter’s investment advice record since 2000.

For many people investing is an emotional issue. The pendulum swings between fear of loss and greed for greater returns. If a complete methodology for buying and selling is offered in a newsletter, such as one I advocate, be sure that it fits your emotional make up.

There is no sense in following an investment approach, which may have merits, if it means sleepless nights for you. You wont stick with it for the long term and long-term investing is essential for making your portfolio grow and prosper.

So, the bottom line is to look for a newsletter that:

  • does not promise the moon,
  • has a track record through up and down markets, and
  • recommends an approach that not only is compatible for your investment style but also has an exit strategy so you can capitalize on your gains — in the bank, not only on paper.

Following these guidelines may not make you rich, but it will help you avoid some bad advice.

SAC

Mar 5

Posted by admin in people, stocks | No Comments

I love to follow the lives of people that are doing the same things that I am doing in a magnificent way.  You can learn alot from following successful people in your chosen industry.  I read an article  the other day on cnbc.com on Steven A. Cohen of SAC capital and I not only learned a bunch but he put haphazard information in perspective for me and I have made a few bucks trading like him.  Lesson, if you want to be at the top of your game study and learn from people at the top of theirs.  Read his story he is one of my favorite people today.  Thanks Steven for the knowledge.

Keathel H. Haynes III, Chief Investment Officer

http://www.blackswanmanagementllc.com/

We are businessmen who use technology as a tool. Let us create your website and develop it into a cash portal or update an existing website for your business to get more customers and make more money.  Go to our site right now to learn how to use the web to get more customers.

Cohen grew up in Great Neck, New York, where his father was a dress manufacturer in Manhattan’s garment district, and his mother was a part-time piano teacher. He took a liking to poker as a high school student, often betting his own money in tournaments. Cohen credits the game to teaching him “how to take risks.” Cohen received a B.S. in economics from the Wharton School at theUniversity of Pennsylvania in 1978. While in school, a friend helped him open a brokerage account with $7,000 of his tuition money.

After Wharton, Cohen got a Wall Street job as a junior trader in the options arbitrage department at Gruntal & Co. in 1978, where he eventually managed a $75 million portfolio and six traders.

His first day on the job at Gruntal & Co., he made an $8,000 profit. He would eventually go on to make the company around $100,000 a day. Cohen was running his own trading group at Gruntal by 1984, and continued running it until he started his own company, SAC.

In 1992, Cohen started SAC Capital Partners with $20 million of his own money; today the firm manages $14 billion in equity.

Originally known as a rapid-fire trader who never held trading positions for extended periods of time, Cohen now holds an increasing number of equities for longer periods of time.

Wealth

Forbes Magazine estimates Cohen’s fortune at $11.4 billion in 2009, ranking him the 27th richest among the world’s billionaires..

In 1998, the Cohens purchased their 35,000 square feet (3,300 m2) home on 14 acres (57,000 m2) in Greenwich, Connecticut.

His 2005 compensation was reportedly $1 billion, considerably higher than his 2004 compensation ($450 million). ]2001 compensation ($428 million) and 2003 compensation ($350 million).

In addition, Cohen owns 7% of search engine Baidu.

Cohen lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife, Alexandra, and seven children — two being from a previous marriage.

Cohen serves on the Board of Trustees of Brown University and the New York-based Robin Hood Foundation.

In 1999, the publicity-shy. trader granted one of his first on-the record interviews to Daniel Strachman for his book Getting Started In Hedge Funds (Wiley 2000).

In December 2009, Steven A Cohen and his brother Donald T Cohen were sued by Steven’s ex-wife Patricia Cohen for racketeering and Insider Trading Charges.

Art collector

Cohen began collecting art in 2000, and over the past several years has become a prominent collector, appearing on Art News magazine’s “Top 10″ list of biggest-spending art collectors around the world each year since 2002, and Forbes magazine’s “Top Billionaire Art Collectors” list in 2005. To date, Cohen has bought around $700 million worth of artwork; in 2003, the New York Times reported that in a 5 year period, Cohen spent 20% of his income at art auctions. He is reportedly building a private museum for some of his artwork on his Greenwich property. In the winter of 2005 it became known that in 1999 Cohen had bought Edvard Munch‘s “Madonna”. Reportedly this was for $11.5 million, a record price for any Munch painting to this date.

His tastes in collecting changed “quickly” from Impressionist painters to contemporary art. He also collects ‘trophy’ art—signature works by famous artist.—including a Pollock “drip” painting fromDavid Geffen for $52 million and Damien Hirst‘s The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a piece that the artist had bought back from Charles Saatchi for $8 million. In the last two years, he reportedly paid $25 million each for a Warhol and a Picasso. He is a top patron of the Marianne Boesky art gallery.

In 2006, Cohen remarked that repairing his suspended shark artwork, a cost estimated to be a minimum of $100,000, was an “inconsequential” expense. Since the shark itself is over 10 years old, it has begun to rot and requires replacement. The replacement shark has already been caught. once the exhibit is fixed, Cohen will have it moved into his SAC office Cohen has also placed Marc Quinn’sSelf,a head sculpture made of frozen blood, in the SAC lobby.

In addition, in 2006 Cohen bought a landscape entitled “Police Gazette” by artist Willem de Kooning for $63.5 million from David Geffen. Also in 2006, Cohen attempted to make the most expensive art purchase in history when he offered to purchase Picasso‘s Le Reve from casino mogul Steve Wynn for $139 million. Just days before the painting was to be transported to Mr. Cohen, Mr. Wynn, who suffers from poor vision, accidentally thrust his elbow through the painting while showing it to a group of acquaintances inside of his office at Wynn Las Vegas. The purchase was cancelled, and Mr. Wynn still holds the painting. In November 2006, Cohen purchased another Willem de Kooning painting, Woman III, from David Geffen for $137.5 million.

10 Most Influential People on Wall Street

Feb 24

Posted by admin in Leadership | No Comments

The 10 Most Influential People on Wall Street

http://www.cnbc.com/

10. Gary Cohn 

President and COO
Goldman Sachs Group

As the sole president and COO of a team-obsessed firm that likes to see “co-” in executive titles, Gary Cohn is widely viewed as an heir apparent to the gilded Goldman Sachs throne. The 49-year-old former currency trader has long been at the side of CEO Lloyd Blankfein, going back to their days at J. Aron. In recent years, Cohn has helped Blankfein run the firm’s trading and principal investing operation, which has powered Goldman’s profits. In March, Cohn told a conference audience that the investment banking business was alive and well and that Goldman, for one, had no intention of changing its business model, even if it had become a bank holding company. Declared Cohn: “Wall Street is not over.”

9. Kenichi Watanabe 

Chief Executive Officer
Nomura Holdings

It was what the Japanese might call daitanfuteki — daring. When Lehman Brothers collapsed last year, Nomura CEO Kenichi Watanabe promptly acquired the bank’s international operations for $225 million — and committed to paying an additional ¥140 billion ($1.5 billion) in bonuses to keep the Lehman bankers on board. At a stroke, Watanabe, 56, boosted Nomura’s head count by nearly 50 percent, to more than 25,000. And in December, Nomura said it would spend almost half of the nearly $5 billion the firm had raised in October to boost its U.S. presence in a bid to achieve Watanabe’s goal of becoming a true global investment bank

8. Anshu Jain

Head of Global Markets
Deutsche Bank

As one of the engineers of Deutsche Bank’s transformation into a powerhouse in global investment banking, Anshu Jain, 46, is often touted as a potential successor to CEO Josef Ackermann (see No. 3). Nevertheless, the Indian-born Jain may well be quietly relieved that his boss has delayed his retirement until 2013, since that will give Jain plenty of time to distance his global markets division from its €7.4 billion ($10.9 billion)  loss in the 2008 financial crisis. In the first nine months of 2009, revenue nearly tripled in Jain’s sales and trading operation, to €9.9 billion. Although Jain was named to the bank’s governing Vorstand in March (along with three other potential Deutsche CEOs), rumors surfaced in June that he might go to Citi, and he wound up affirming his allegiance to Deutsche. A cricket lover, he will need the sport’s virtues of patience, persistence and fair play to land the top job in a competitive field.

7. Thomas Montag

President, Global Banking and Markets
Bank of America/Merrill Lynch

Bank of America Corp.’s controversial purchase of Merrill Lynch & Co. may have cost BofA CEO Ken Lewis his job, but Tom Montag, 52, is doing his best to demonstrate the logic of the deal. Montag’s global markets business booked $6 billion of net income on $17.2 billion of revenue during the first nine months of 2009 — virtually all of the bank’s profits and 18 percent of overall revenue. Montag, a 22-year veteran of Goldman Sachs Group who had co-headed that firm’s powerful trading unit, largely succeeded in holding Merrill together during a tumultuous period. Now he needs to prove that his bankers and traders can use BofA’s balance sheet to win deals and consistent profits as markets recover.

6. James Gorman

Chief Executive–designate
Morgan Stanley

James Gorman, CEO-designate of Morgan Stanley, has taken temporary offices on the firm’s trading floor. Gesture or not, this sends a strong signal that the 50-year-old Australian lawyer with a Columbia MBA and a background chiefly in strategic planning (McKinsey partner) and asset management (head of private clients at Merrill Lynch) is committed to trading and other investment banking activities. He affirmed that palpably in late December by naming Paul Taubman and current CFO Colm Kelleher as co-presidents of institutional securities, Morgan’s biggest business. Hired in 2006, Gorman oversaw the creation of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, now the world’s largest brokerage firm, to balance the volatile investment banking business. He succeeds John Mack, who becomes chairman, in January. The onetime consultant’s mission: to restore Morgan — still one of Wall Street’s most powerful firms — to its former glory after a decade of management turmoil.

5. Brady Dougan

Chief Executive Officer
Credit Suisse

Unlike his arch-rivals at UBS, Credit Suisse CEO Brady Dougan managed to avoid a government bailout during the financial crisis by raising capital in the Gulf. Nonetheless, the big Zurich bank experienced a rocky 2008. So with markets reviving strongly in 2009, Dougan, 50, prudently dialed down risk and cut back on proprietary trading and structured product activities to concentrate on flow business in bonds and equities and on gaining market share in prime brokerage. Credit Suisse has bounced back impressively and is once again solidly in the top tier of global investment banks. Even the private banking arm raked in money, despite U.S. officials’ probe into offshore tax evasion by Americans. The big question now: Will Dougan ramp up risk-taking, when conditions permit, and open CS’s hefty checkbook for acquisitions?

4. Robert Diamond Jr.

President
Barclays

Never let a crisis go to waste. It’s a mantra of the Obama administration, but few have taken it to heart like Bob Diamond, an erstwhile supporter of John McCain. A former bond trader, Diamond, 58, turned Barclays Capital, the bank’s securities arm, into a global debt powerhouse in a decade, but that was just a prelude to his biggest move: buying the U.S. subsidiary of the bankrupt Lehman Brothers in September 2008, and gaining a franchise in equities and M&A. Now ensconced in Lehman’s old Times Square headquarters, Diamond is determined to make Barclays a top-three firm across the board. Given his track record, no one on Wall Street dares dismiss his ambitions

3. Josef Ackermann

Chief Executive Officer
Deutsche Bank

In 2008, Deutsche Bank suffered its first annual loss since World War II. For CEO Josef Ackermann, 61, it was a wrenching experience. But having led the bank through the worst global financial storm in 70 years, he stands to reap the fruits of recovering markets. Deutsche’s profits have rebounded strongly, and Ackermann has been able to renew his contract for three more years. A rare breed of player-coach, he combines managing a global investment bank with chatting up clients. Long active in industry associations, he has spoken out on, among other topics, the justification for bankers’ compensation. Now Ackermann is well positioned to lead Deutsche from trading powerhouse to balanced financial services firm and perhaps ensure his legacy in the process.

2. Lloyd Blankfein

Chief Executive Officer
Goldman Sachs Group

It once appeared as if Lloyd Blankfein would be best remembered for his rock-steadiness during the 2008 financial crisis. No, he reassured an anxious colleague, this wasn’t like storming the beaches at Normandy. Although the markets didn’t turn against Goldman Sachs in 2009, everyone from Washington politicians to ordinary citizens seemed to, as the firm prospered conspicuously while millions suffered in the recession. Ex–commodities trader Blankfein, 55, who became Goldman CEO in 2006 when Hank Paulson moved to Treasury, didn’t help with the backlash any when he quipped to a London newspaper that Goldman’s lavishly paid bankers were doing “God’s work.” Now he may be linked forever to that cringe-inducing quote. Still, Blankfein is a genuinely liked leader. And it’s a sure bet that in the next financial crisis, the president will install a hotline to Goldman’s offices.

1. James Dimon

Chief Executive Officer
JPMorgan Chase & Co.

No other banking leader has emerged from the financial crisis with as much authority, or respect, as JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. Under his leadership, JPMorgan has vaulted to near the top of almost every global investment banking ranking. For 2009 its revenue and profits appear headed toward record numbers. Known for inspiring fierce loyalty among his subordinates and having a passion for detail, Dimon must now contend with a changed financial landscape, a swelling array of competitors (even Goldman Sachs is now a “bank”) and greater government intrusion into the everyday business of finance. And though only 53, he must ensure his legacy by providing for a strong successor. He has begun by naming Jes Staley, formerly chief of the bank’s asset management arm, head of Morgan’s investment bank and by grooming a generation of 40-something leaders, including newly named asset management boss Mary Erdoes and CFO Mike Cavanagh.

Self-Directed IRAs Provide Uncommon Investment Opportunities Part 1

Feb 21

Posted by admin in business, investing | No Comments

Many investors have become disillusioned with the traditional investments available to them through traditional channels. More and more investors are looking for ways to invest their retirement dollars for a larger more consistent and safer return. The problem is knowledge and investment tools. The investor armed with a self-directed IRA and investment knowledge will certainly earn far more in his portfolio. Oil and gas certainly has very good potential for the IRA holder beyond stocks in the large oil companies burdened with huge overhead constraints.

When conducting your due diligence on a company that drills for oil and gas to determine if it is a good investment, it is just as important to research the current market trends. Investigating into the investment of oil and gas provides a very clear picture of supply and demand. The effects on these resources are far reaching from the gas pump to the milk container.

Currently, Americans consume more oil and gas than the U.S. has in natural resources. As a result, this places a high demand on foreign sources of oil and gas subsequently, the price of oil and gas are driven higher. In recent history, oil prices were at $28 per barrel compare that with today’s oil price of $58 per barrel, the return on investment (ROI) for an investor is potentially incredible. Other global, environmental and political pressures have influenced prices. These influences are as follows:

�China and India, the most populated countries in the world, have become increasing their demand for oil because of each the country’s increased growth in population and economies.
�The U.S. is currently at full capacity for refining process (refining is the processing of crude oil into a usable form) of crude oil that comes and there are currently no plans to build additional or more efficient refineries.
�The legislation of the past administrations have also placed strains on the processing industry as further requirements increase the cost of refining. This also put s an enormous strain on supply and the result is higher oil prices.
�Natural disasters such as hurricanes may also cause an increase in prices especially since a large portion of the refineries are located in the Gulf Coast region. The effect of these trends will likely increase current pricing and future pricing. Another hurricane with the power of Katrina will likely cripple our fuel supply. And given the current weather trends that is a very likely occurrence.

Not surprisingly, there are financial analysts who have predicted oil prices to go beyond the $100 per barrel milestone in the near future. Because of the pressure of these high prices and changes in drilling technology, many drillers are exploring more areas within the United States to drill for oil and gas.

A Self-Directed IRA provides the investor with the ability to invest in direct participation or in whatever position is most important to the investor. A Self-Directed IRA with checkbook control provides even greater control and ability to move upon opportunities when they arise. Of course, the gain is tax-deferred just as it would be if stock or a mutual fund were purchased.

CURTIS DEYOUNG

Curtis L. DeYoung is Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of American Pension Services, a company organized in 1982 for the purpose of allowing the more aggressive investors to direct, individually, their retirement funds as broadly as the law allows.

DeYoung realized early in his career that true self-directed retirement plans were rare and virtually unavailable to the average, individual investor. The industry was dominated by brokerage firms, insurance companies, and banks that sponsored limited investment options for retirement plans. Still today, most IRA sponsors allow only the investments that benefit them the most, rather than the unlimited investment options allowed by law. Everyone in the financial world knows that you don’t take investment advice from a person who receives a commission. DeYoung recognized that an objective, third-party administrator who wasn’t offering a financial product for sale could help customers capitalize on the unlimited growth potential and power in self-directed retirement plans.

Unable to find a company that allowed him to invest as he desired, DeYoung founded American Pension Services (APS). APS is a genuine, self-directed, retirement plan administration company that provides the vehicle for true self-direction, without the conflict of interest of financial products to sell — a unique and rare combination in the financial world. American Pension Services currently administers over $100-million in self-directed retirement plans, and combined with their FDIC-insured custodian, First Utah Bank, can offer investors maximum flexibility, security, and freedom to invest as aggressively as the law allows.

A new division of American Pension Services, called American Pension 401(k) Services, was founded in 2008. Home of the “Total K”, this new division allows 401(k) sponsors the freedom to self-direct, with the only online 401(k) plan in the country offering every investment option available, including the traditional investment options.

Curtis and his wife Michelle are parents of four daughters, all varsity cheerleaders, until number four, Hailee, broke with the DeYoung family tradition to become a soccer, basketball, and track star! The family resides in Draper, Utah.
