We are working on our first book called Social Equity.

This is the Asset Schools first book, the Asset School was started in 2013 to promote sound financial thinking and goal setting. Today society is overally concerned with how much individual stuff can be purchased rather than how much value can be added to society. Income is more important than profit, and television plays a higher role than finanial education. Society has become lazy, riding on the success of previous generations. We are assured by the media, our school system and our peers that everything is fine and we have a bright future ahead of us, If we only keep doing what we have always done, the age old belief of going to school, getting educated and getting a high paying job will produce happiness and wealth. Unimployment numbers are teaching us all a different story.

I beleave that everyone in todays economy should be building assets to protect their future. Property, stocks, business each have individual benefits but most cost eather startup capital, high risk or a high degree of financual education. I think the easyest asset to build that requires the least degree of knowledge, startup capital and financial education is what I like to call Social Equity.

Social Equity is simply the amount of connections established online. This is more than just how many facebook friends you have. This is how much attention you can bring to your coments and ideas, how much value and trust you can inspire and how the social connections can be converted into cash. This is why I beleave Social Equity has an emence value in this new economy.
