Financial Signals: Designer Handbags, Nude Models, Women and Investing

December 04, 2014

This week’s key strategic tips have been gleaned from my Feminine Wealth TV interview with global economic strategist Dr. Pippa Malmgren.

Having previously been a key adviser to The Bush Administration in the US, Dr. Malmgren currently advises some of the worlds largest investors, is an savvy femtrepreneur herself and has just authored a new book called ‘Signals’ to show the world what designer handbags, shrinking steaks and nude models can tell us about where to invest our money!

The interview was packed full of seriously good investment and business strategies so it took a while to whittle it down to the 3 most important takeaways for you!

Takeaway #1 – Financial Signals are right in front of our eyes 

In 2007 Pippa correctly predicted the coming financial crisis and advised people to sell down their assets. Everyone at that stage thought she was totally mad and totally wrong. As her predictions came to fruition she realised she needed to find a way to show people how they could spot financial problems all by themselves simply by watching the world around them more closely.

And so the book  ‘Signals’ was born.

Takeaway #2 – Protect yourself by staying ahead of rising prices 

These everyday signals that are all around us can show us where prices are going and where we need to be positioning ourselves in order to stay ahead of things. When prices are rising and we are not pricing ourselves, our products or our services appropriately then we are placing ourselves in a dangerous position of weakness.

Takeaway #3 – Innovate and BE the future of the global economy 

Despite all the doom and gloom out there in the global economy, innovation is absolutely ripe right now. Innovation is what will lead the world out of its funk and onto prosperity. Small business is where innovation truly lives and interestingly small business is where a lot of female entrepreneurs lie. By fostering innovation then women can truly be the future of the global economy and global change.
