Invest In Your Future
The Harvest Investing Community currently has openings for community members. Click the “Get Started” link below to explore the benefits of the Harvest Investing Community.
Everything contained on this site is meant to be educational in nature, and should not be construed as financial advice, even though the methodologies described in this site are designed to have positive financial repercussions. Our community guidelines require authenticity and encouragement. In the ordinary course of living life, there will be times when things don’t work out as we plan. And that’s just fine with us. That’s actually the nature of a harvest. You never know for certain what you’re going to get with any given harvest. The main purpose of our community is to help each other by freely sharing what works, and what doesn’t, so that we can all learn from each other, and achieve harvest results in as many areas of life as possible. “Spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Hebrews 10:24
Welcome to Harvest Investing
We employ the coaching model to your investing.
Anyone trying to achieve results in sports can attest to the value of a coach. The right coach can bring amazing things out of an athlete willing to learn. Often, the best coaches have played the game, maybe even breathe the game instead of oxygen. Well, maybe that’s going a bit too far, but you get the point. Contact us to find out more.
Plan
Financial Planning
Most financial planners mean well. Yet their results are not the kinds of results we aim to achieve at Harvest Investing. Have you realized later in your life than you’d like to admit, that you should have been doing a better job at understanding the financial world? You are not alone. We’ve been there. We’ve also seen the possibility of creating what we call harvest-sized returns. Let’s be honest. What kind of farmer would be happy with an 8% return on his soybean crop? Let’s put this in numbers. That’s planting 100 seeds, and only getting 108 soybeans in your harvest. That hardly seems worth it. Even a 16% return would only yield 116 soybeans. “Soybean plants are on average 3 to 5 feet tall and can have up to 20 nodes. The plant has the ability to produce 600 pods per plant, but on average there are 50 to 100 pods per plant that set seed. Each pod contains up to three seed.” – North Carolina Soybean Production Guide. Now, let’s do the math. One plant, 50 pods, and only one seed per pod. See what we did there? The low side of everything. That’s 50 times what was planted. 100 plants would be 5000 seeds. What kind of percentage return is that?
Diversify?
Diversify is a Bad word!
Did that get your attention? Good. Diversifying sounds like it would be a good idea. And it is, to a point. Using the harvest analogy, a farmer could diversify by planting corn and soybeans. That’s a good idea, but the way most folks implement this financially is to grow both crops in the same field. Imagine the trouble this would cause our farmer! The result would be a crop that was only good for feeding animals, if they could be fed corn and soybeans! How would you even go about harvesting? The machinery for each crop is different! That’s why we recommend that you have multiple accounts for these different strategies. And in each account we FOCUS our attention on that specific strategy, resulting in a better return everywhere!
Manage
Personal Wealth Management
All wealth, and anything worthwhile needs to be managed. That management takes on many forms. For us, it means the plans are in place, and we’re executing and making adjustments to the plan for the changes that come at various life stages.
But let’s face it, if we entrust our personal wealth management to a single manager, or even a management firm, how individualized can they really be if they’re managing hundreds or thousands of customers, and only charging them a small percentage of funds under management?
All too often, in spite of safeguards and fiduciary responsibility guidelines, your objectives and your planners are going to be at odds at best, and at worst your returns could actually be negative, even if they aren’t as negative as index returns can sometimes be.
That’s where our coaching strategy comes in. We’re working on building a team, and in the process helping each other produce consistent harvest-sized returns, year in and year out.
One Size Fits One
Create a Strategy That Works For YOU
We’re going to create a framework, but the ultimate plan will be geared toward your goals. The principles will be the same, the practice may be completely different.
PLus Years
We’ve been trading long enough to remember when you had to call your broker to place an order. In fact our first stock transaction was converting a bank CD into stock in the bank. That was more profitable than keeping the money in the CD. We sold that, and bought stock in JiffyLube. Since then, we’ve placed more trades than we can count. Most days we trade more in a day than most people trade in a month, or even a year.
%
Return
James Clear, in his book Atomic Habits talks about making a 1% improvement every day. Imagine what would happen if you made a 1% improvement in several areas of your life and finances!
That’s what we’re trying to achieve here. Small changes over long periods of time produce outlying results!
Years using current Strategies
Harvest Investing spent the time, and the resources to hone the strategies. Without a proper foundation the mistakes we learned from would have taken us out. Instead we’ve discovered that harvest-sized results are possible, desirable, and achiveable. This site is about joining us for the ride.
What is a number?
Our goal is significant growth, both yours and ours. Harvest Investing will take a page out of the Information Technology world and apply the open source model. Our coaching correlates to open source. Our fully managed service uses the same concepts that our coaching does. But instead of you doing the work, we do. What would our coaching be worth if you got to this level? Are you looking to unleash the model, but you are not interested in doing it yourself? Chose the option that works best for you! So many businesses are moments from disaster, and so are their owners. We’re working to change this. Ask us how!
How We Work. Our Mission & Values
We’re looking to help business owners see value in their business from a new perspective, and set themselves up to work themselves out of a job. We’re just a few steps ahead of you in this process ourselves. But why wait until we’ve worked out all of the kinks, when more often than not what keeps things from happening are our blindspots. In our existing ventures we’re systematically working to cut costs while improving performance. We’d love to help you, especially if you have a business that’s producing excess cash flow.

Coaching
The best coaches reveal the talent each individual has, while pushing them to professional personal performance that makes the team excel. They know that “we play like we practice” so they make sure that we don’t cut corners in practice. They see what we are doing and make midcourse corrections. And at the end of the day, the hard work we all put in produces something everyone can be proud about.
