Tyrone Jackson often says that wealth is a series of wealthy habits. One of those habits should be collecting dividends. In this episode, Tyrone tells you why.
When searching for wealth building tools, most people find Mutual Funds, in which financial advisors will pick and trade stocks for you in large sums with other people’s money. Tyrone teaches people to personally pick stocks for themselves because you can make a lot more money this way.
Tyrone’s approach to the stock market is to buy and trade very low risk stocks. He almost exclusively deals with stocks that are members of the DOW Jones Industrial average and the S&P 500. He finds that his students make thousands of dollars by being a little more conservative with what stocks that choose, and collecting dividends. What is a dividend? A dividend is your share of a company’s profits after they have paid all their expenses on a quarterly basis. In other words, buy owning a company’s stock, you own a small piece of their business, and thus you receive a small piece of their profit.
Tyrone explains how this works through three case studies.
1) Microsoft (MSFT)
Microsoft’s dividend is $1.24 per share annually. However the shareholders receive that as $0.31 every quarter. If you owned 100 shares, you would receive a check for $31 every quarter. If you owned 1,000 shares you would receive $310, if you owned 10,000 shares you would receive $3,100, and so on.
2) Coca Cola (KO)
Coca Cola’s dividend is $0.30 every quarter. If you owned 100 shares, you would receive a check for $30 every quarter. If you owned 1,000 shares you would receive $300, if you owned 10,000 shares you would receive $3,000, and so on.
3) AT&T (T)
AT&T’s dividend is $0.47 every quarter. If you owned 100 shares, you would receive a check for $47 every quarter. If you owned 1,000 shares you would receive $470, if you owned 10,000 shares you would receive $4,700, and so on. That’s $18,800 per year for doing nothing but owning shares of a stock!
When you choose stocks directly, dividends should be a part of your investing plan because stocks are assets. Your children can be beneficiaries to your wealth accounts and literally inherit your stocks that will pay them dividends. They can inherit your residual income.
Tyrone believes that wealth is a feeling first. When you receive checks in the mail on a quarterly basis, it feels good! That feeling is something you can build on.

Randy Hernandez is a successful model and actor who met Tyrone Jackson at an audition for an HBO Television series. He eventually signed up for Tyrone’s class, but began very slowly in the stock market. Randy says he opened his TD Ameritrade account and had money sitting in it for three months before he ever pulled the trigger on a trade. But opening that account was half the battle.
Randy and Tyrone discuss how there is definitely a fear of failure, a fear of unknowing or not being financially educated that stops many of us from taking the leap. Anyone can make money in the stock market; you just have to have the mindset to see how it works. After making that first trade and seeing the money grow in his account, Randy made six figures in his first year of trading.
Randy explains that the “millionaire mindset” isn’t really about having a million dollars in your account. It’s a feeling of freedom that you can have yourself, your family, and your lifestyle. You can have the power to eliminate stress and make money on your own terms. But you have to think of trading as part of your income, part of your daily lifestyle. If you treat it like that you will be responsible about it, not get greedy, and do the necessary research.
One thing that helped Randy get past his fear was Tyrone’s format. He says that Tyrone teaches you in a way that is very safe—he always goes back to the basics no matter what is happening in the market.

In order to find financial freedom we must change our money beliefs and get a financial education. Tyrone Jackson continues to demystify the stock market for us and uses Starbucks (SBUX) and Nike (NKE) to explain how we could have been making money for the past five years.
If you refer to this chart for the Starbucks (SBUX) stock, you can see how if you had bought $1,000 worth of Starbucks shares five years ago, it would now be worth $2,900.
Similarly, if you had bought $1,000 of Nike (NKE), it would now be worth $2,400.
These case studies show us how the rich get richer. Imagine if that $1,000 was actually $100,000. That money would now be worth $290,000. The rich invest money directly into the stock market, not through mutual funds.
Once we make these investments and start to make money, we can use our earnings to supplement our lifestyle. That’s the great thing about the stock market; as we are asset building, it gives us cash.
