Increased skills & Confidence
Our purpose
Focused-Investing is both the company name and an adjective. The company's goal is to teach financial business management to students, businesses, and investors. Investors and business owners should be able to think like one another. The adjective means to invest in a way that involves conscious decisions and logical thought. Risk is always minimized in as many ways as possible, not just diversified and forgotten. Focused-Investing is the culmination of many years of studying the most successful business and investors in history and condensing their tools into skills that are easily mastered by everyday people.

Focused Investing philosophy
We believe in keeping things simple. Focused investing is about increasing returns without increasing risk. Focused Investing is about balancing risk and return to improve your overall financial health. We are not about speculation or huge returns. We are about sound decision making, Most importantly we are about creating competent and confident investors and business managers. Courses are designed to simplify investing by teaching students how to evaluate businesses and learn to separate the noise from the important events. Focused Investing is about empowering people to make financial decisions and be confident in them. These principles can be applied to:
- Real Estate
- Stocks and Bonds
- Currencies and Commodities
- Public and Private Companies
- sales, negotiations, interviews
Why Us?
We offer several programs designed for beginners and experts. We have cost effective, straight to the point education. Other programs promise to teach you to make hundreds of percent per year using just a few techniques. That is not what we are about. These claims should be taken with a grain of salt. Instead we want to teach you to do better than average consistently, and help you minimize losses. Successful investors focus on not losing money first. We will teach you to do this and it does not require a lot of time or constantly checking your computer screen.
