One of the benefits of good financial advice is that an investment can keep paying you year after year. Stock appreciation, for example, involves profits (at least on paper) for which taxes are not owed until the stock is sold.
Dividends can create an ongoing stream of income. If a stock pays dividends, and appreciates in value, then it is a blue-star investment.
Dividends can sometimes be automatically reinvested into the purchase of additional shares instead of being paid in cash. Shares are typically fractions of a share.
Dividend reinvestment can create the compounding of income as shares pay dividends, which increase the number of shares owned (without paying out of pocket for the shares), and those additional shares also pay dividends.
Over time a small investment can grow to something substantial.
Mr. Kindsvater has prepared various articles about investing and tax strategies.

More background about Brian Kindsvater
Surprisingly, the California statue governing non-competes does not refer to a "noncompete". Rather, the ban is only restraints of trade - which is broad.
Illegal noncompete restrictions can thus include:
- Restrictions on working for a competitor.
- Restrictions on contacting clients and customers (although trade secret protections also must be considered)
- Financial penalties for working for a competitor or contacting a customer, even if the work is not banned.
- Restrictions on working in a certain area.
- Restrictions on performing a certain type of work.
A simple guide Brian has prepared that will help virtually any small business become more profitable:
1. Take a thorough inventory of all assets. Intangible assets, such as knowledge and connections, may be more profitable than intellectual property of tangible property. If an inventory only takes you five minutes, or you are only counting physical assets, you are doing the analysis wrong and not digging deep enough into understanding what your business has to offer and what can make your business and products unique and desirable.
2. Evaluate missed opportunities due to under-utilized assets. What assets can be made into different formats. Combined with others to create new and unique product offerings. What assets are not being sold at all.
3. Take an inventory of all possible platforms and venues for making sales. For instance, if you sell online where are all the places you can sell or promote your products and services.
4. Evaluate missed opportunities because all assets are not being promoted on all possible platforms and venues. What is your business presence where potential buyer eyeballs are present? Where can additional products be promoted.
5. Evaluate why opportunites are being missed and create processes, forms, etc., to identify and track to avoid additional losses in the future. It is not enough to go through the exercise identifying missed opportunities. Also key is understanding why they were missed so you can put in place whatever is needed to avoid a future re-occurrence.
Everyone should strive to create their own business. It is simple enough to declare yourself in business and to work from home.
Whatever you have knowledge and expertise in - you can write a guide and sell it. You could simply put it on a web page and make money from advertising.
A huge benefit is simply taxes.
You may not want to take risks and only pay $750 like Donald Trump, but your own business is the key to taking deductions not available to wage earners to decrease your taxes.
With an exclusive home office space a portion of your utilities are deductible.
Fringe benefits you give yourself may be deductible.
With certain business entities, such as a corporation or LLC additional deductions are available where taxable income is transferred into being non-taxable or a deduction.
Bill Gates said the tax code was actually the secret to his success. It can be yours too.
Noncompete Contracts and Law - Brian Kindsvater is the expert when it comes to California noncompete and related issues, such as misappropriation of trade secrets and interference with contracts. To our knowledge, no California attorney (or non-attorney) has reviewed as many noncompete contracts (more than a thousand) from employers nationwide and has so much experience on these issues. Brian Kindsvater is the expert (probably better than your attorney) for providing information about noncompete issues.
