Private Equity Investor Richard Koch Says: Embrace, Don't Fight Fundamental Economic Principles
CHICAGO, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Richard Koch didn't call anyone else "boss" on his path to earning $279 million. Applying scientific tools and techniques, he made the enviable leap from working for his money to watching his money work for him. Now he's presenting some of his most fruitful and hard-won insights to an exclusive audience as part of a three-day financial liberation seminar. Slated for September 28 to 30, more about this potentially life- and career-changing conference is available at http://www.perrymarshall.com/marketing/meetrichard/.
As one of the world's elite private equity investors, Koch has a scholar's understanding of both contemporary and historical economics. His investment philosophy has benefited from adapting and refining traditional principles to developing his own methodologies, such as the Star Principle.
Koch maintains that moving up the income and wealth ladder is a matter of personal determination and informed decision making; relying on governments to level the playing field is a loser's game. From the poorest to the richest nations, the distribution of wealth has always followed a predictable pattern – 20% of the citizens account for 80% of total wealth. But the pattern becomes more intricate as one tunnels deeper into the data. In America, for instance, it's clear there are distinctions between "middle wealth" and "high wealth."
The market crash of 2008 was a nasty reminder that even high income earners are vulnerable to forces beyond their control – hence the reason to get out of the rat race and take a seat in the luxury boxes. Those among the top .01% are invulnerable to economic ups and downs, while those in the middle still feel the effects of burst bubbles and stagnant growth.
Like Sisyphus rolling his stone uphill, well-intentioned bureaucrats throughout history have sought to close the income gap. But top-down regulation and social welfare experimentation can't alter a fundamental economic principle like 80/20, and that's true at every stratum of the economy. Those individuals who seek upward mobility have to act for themselves, as Koch did.
Joining Koch at the financial liberation seminar will be sought-after marketing consultant Perry S. Marshall. According to Marshall, the event has been carefully designed to give high income earners the tools to move beyond the "working stiff" phase and into the realm of true wealth, where they can relax while their money does the heavy lifting.
