Our publicist has done a great job getting the word out about Self-Directed IRAs, and my various writings and products related to independence, economics, investing, and freedom.
But, alas, the time has come to replace our publicist. So here’s what we’re looking for:
- Very freedom/liberty-oriented and passionate
- A basic understanding of Austrian economics and the free market
- An unlimited mindset—one that fully accepts that anything is possible and our results are up to us… only we can decide what we CAN and CAN’T accomplish together
- A realistic understanding of our world today and the terrible direction our country and our society is heading in—politically, financially, emotionally, etc. We have to be able to acknowledge and observe the problems in order to be a part of providing solutions.
- Results-oriented. We aren’t just trying to get the word out to see what happens. We are getting the word out! We set goals and then achieve them
- Experience preferred, but not required. If you have experience in public relations, awareness campaigns, or dealing with the media, that is great and will be helpful. Buuuuuut, the above requirements are much more important. The actual procedure of how to promote and make contacts and pitch ideas can be learned. Being a freedom-loving, free-market-loving, truth-knowing, positive-thinking passionate person ready to change the world cannot be learned—it’s just who you are. So that is most important, and for that reason, experience isn’t required, but it is preferred.
- Start immediately!
- Monthly salary. This doesn’t have to be a full-time job, but we will pay a substantial salary.
Be a part of a team that’s changing the world! We’ll be working to promote my book (5 Steps To Freedom) as well as my companies (Nabers Group and IRA Association). Some past exposure and events have included:
- Speaking at FreedomFest
- Writing for Forbes.com
- Contributing to articles for mint.com, realtytimes.com, Entrepreneur Magazine, LA Times, and Chicago Tribune
- Featured in trade journals
- Appearing on TV shows such as Good Morning Arizona and The Pat McMahon show
..these are just a start as we’ll be working together to continue to expose people to self-empowerment, liberty, financial freedom, Austrian economics, and similar ideas.
LIVING IN DENVER IS NOT NECESSARY. We are open to remote working arrangements. If you think you might know somebody who would be great for this position, please share this opportunity, especially on Twitter and Facebook:
Applicants, please send resume to prjob@jnabz.com and include a cover letter summarizing why you think this would be a great fit. I look forward to connecting with our new PR specialist!
Where to Find Reliable Self Directed IRA & 401(k) Information April 21, 2008
Posted by Jeff Nabers in : Self Directed IRA Solo 401k , add a commentI ran across something today that may surprise you. I was reminded of why I founded the IRA Association of America. I hear some of the craziest things from prospects and new customers, such as
“My understanding is that my IRA can loan money to a Corporation I own part of.”
“I’ve heard that my company can do business with my IRA if things are structured right.”
First of all, these statements are both incorrect, and would each result in a prohibited transaction, triggering hefty tax penalties. Now, when I hear these type of statements I wonder where they come from. I’ve always figured that they must originate from various new, inexperienced companies with educational materials that are simply inaccurate. Today, I found out that I’m half correct. It is coming from inaccurate materials and sources, but to my surprise, these sources aren’t always new and inexperienced.
This post is in reference to an LLC facilitator called CHECKBOOK IRA located at www.checkbookira.net and www.checkbookira.com. These guys may be familiar to you because, at the time of this writing and for the past several years, these web sites come up in search engine results for terms like “ira llc” and “self directed ira”. Now, I’ve never met or spoken with the owner, Steve Sheperd, so I can only comment based on the information on his web sites.
Currently, if you go to CHECKBOOKIRA.net and click “legal rulings” it links to a ruling that says “Your IRA can make a loan to a company owned less than 50% by the IRA owner.” This caught my attention because the claim was contrary to the understanding given to me from seasoned Department of Labor agents. So I clicked the link and read the entire document. (It’s important to note that (more…)
Drum roll, please… March 19, 2008
Posted by Jeff Nabers in : Uncategorized , add a commentThe intent of this blog is to share information relating to:
- Self-Directed IRAs
- Solo 401(k) plans
- Private investments
- Raising capital
- Making your money work for you
- Taking control of your investments
In 2003, I started what grew into the IRA Association of America, an educational nonprofit association dedicated to providing the most comprehensive educational materials on the aforementioned subject matter. Over the past several years, I have been working to integrate all of the relevant information into a format that makes sense and minimizes misinformation.
In a nutshell, I’ve spent 5 years helping some people invest with their self directed IRA/401k. I don’t run 401k or IRA accounts for anyone, I just enable people to run their accounts themselves without limitations on investment choices. The investment decisions are always up to the accountholder, so I’ve done a lot of watching, and believe it or not my conclusion is:
Most self directed IRA/401k investments involve common, avoidable mistakes.
Future posts will aim to to spotlight these avoidable mistakes as well as offer alternative solutions that have helped to make self directed investing safe, effective, and profitable for those who’ve used them.
