      PRAISE FOR

      INTELLIGENT INVESTING

      "I’ve long believed that investors shouldn’t rely on uncertain capital gains to live on during retirement. Steve Booren’s Intelligent Investing reminds us that a great way to work toward a prosperous retirement is with a portfolio of dividend stocks that seek to stay ahead of inflation with a goal of providing steadily growing income over time."

      Matthew Paulson

      Founder, MarketBeat

      Author, Automatic Income

      "Intelligent Investing is a straightforward guide to getting ready for and thriving in retirement. Like the title suggests, the strategy detailed in the book is a smart way to prepare for your financial future. In fact, I’d say it’s the most intelligent way."

      Marc Lichtenfeld

      Author, You Don’t Have to Drive an Uber in Retirement and Get Rich with Dividends

      "What’s the difference between being rich and being wealthy? If richness is fleeting, wealth is lasting. The methods Steve discusses in Intelligent Investing can help to create and preserve lasting wealth."

      LEE BROWER

      Founder, Empowered Wealth

      Author, The Brower Quadrant

      "There are hundreds of books about retirement planning. Steve Booren’s book, Intelligent Investing, covers the complex topic of retirement income in an understandable, easy-to-read way. Real client scenarios combined with his investment strategy, developed over decades, will inspire thought and conversation about the most important steps in determining your financial future."

      Jim Putnam

      Chairman of the Board, LPL Financial

      Young investors should focus on growth in dividends and position themselves to invest in dividend stocks that have a high likelihood of increasing dividends in the future. In his book, Steve Booren explains why growing income through intelligent investing is key to retirement success.

      The Best Kind Of Person

      I’ve had the great pleasure of working in a strategic position with Steve Booren for over two decades. Through his participation in my entrepreneurial coaching program, I’ve spent 80 full days with him over the past 20 years, and I can confidently say that Steve is an excellent entrepreneur and a wonderful person, and I’m excited to have been invited to participate in his new book.

      This book is chock-full of his knowledge and offers readers an approach to retirement filled with excitement and confidence.

      Three Crucial Points

      I want to point out three of the crucial points made in this book. The first is that the earlier you get started with a strategic long-range plan for preparing for retirement, the better off you are.

      And it can start today.

      The second point is that you not only need to have a sum of money that grows until you reach retirement, you have to have retirement income that grows after you retire.

      One of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to retirement is thinking, "If I have
