Final Media Pitch

Subject: Achieving Financial Independence

Dear Evan Milsap:

Today, while reading your article in the USU Statesman, it occurred to me that you may be interested in writing a story highlighting the Cache Valley Area Investors Association. It would tie nicely into the article you wrote about Economist Mark Skousen who said, “Entrepreneurial spirit is what drives the economy” and what better way to harbor that entrepreneurial spirit than through financial independence.

Cache Valley Area Investors Association (CVAIA) teaches people how to increase passive income. CVAIA embraces the Law of Attraction, Law of Abundance, and Law of Exchange. CVAIA began in August 2007 and now has members from many geological locations and from all walks of life. The members come together with the same belief: that education mitigates the risks of investing.

The debt-tackling skills that students will learn at CVAIA meeting are beneficial to their lives, not to mention your own. Your story could highlight Preston Parker, a well-known Utah State Professor and Cache Valley resident, who is a member of CVAIA. Your story might also include, students talking about what financial independence means to them, what they would do if they were financial independent, stats about student loans such as the average debt accumulated, years to pay off the debt, what they could have done with that money and so on.

If people learn the right mentality and approaches to investing, they can all be successful in what they desire. People should be able to spend their time doing something they love, not just a job that provides an income. Passive income largely makes this possible. There are many organizations with that stated goal of helping people understand the relationship between assets, liabilities, income, expenses. They practice the methods found in the ideologies of books including Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Wealthy Barber, The Millionaire Next Door, Atlas Shrugged, The Automatic Millionaire, and The Secret.

For additional materials on CVAIA, to set up an interview or for clarification, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your time,
