The Lone Star story: Market crash - history shows that it can happen again. As in the Lone Star Ranch Story, Mike Stapleton builds a 92,000 acre ranch that ends in the Dirty Thirties. You work your whole life and save and build assets; then, politics, global forces, market crash, or litigation can ruin you. How do you protect your assets? Who can help? What are the risks in your business, local or global economy?

Living and Working in Paradise: Finance managers and business consultants use risk management techniques to quantify risk; a market crash, corporate bankruptcy, litigation, divorce, business partner break-up, lay-offs, real estate deflation, or if your country faces crisis or revolution.

There are positive steps you can take: Diversify, open an offshore account, do business in US dollars, travel to Central America - see how you can live cheap, buy Caribbean real estate, join a church project and do good - humanitarian work in Central America. Start a small business in an emerging economy and import things to sell there, start an eco-travel company, find art work or literary works in a niche market like the Caribbean islands and import them for resale in Europe, USA, Canada. Take a look at starting your own bank or insurance company, join a group who are setting up an offshore center or remote data processing company.

What you need for asset protection: Investment diversification, safeguard of assets, a place to call home with no pollution and plenty of water and oxygen, a good agricultural base, low-taxes, lots of business opportunities, Caribbean real estate, join the Internet economy, get-a-way location or sunshine destination. I studied a few places that qualify as an alternative home office and I do strategic minerals research. Living and Working in Paradise.com
