The company

Why Integrated Wealth Systems exists

Integrated Wealth Systems is the company Loral Langemeier founded in 2001 as Live Out Loud, Inc. It began in Novato, California, was teaching in Australia, South Africa and Canada within five years, and now operates from Zephyr Cove, Nevada, on the shore of Lake Tahoe. It is one continuous business with one founder. Live Out Loud and Integrated Wealth Systems are the same business at different points in its life, under two names.

The reason it exists is simple. The company’s premise is that information on its own does not change anyone’s finances; the change starts when a person acts on what they have learned. That is the working version of Loral’s principle “Say YES, then figure out how”: commit first, then work out the steps. So the company is built around doing: starting a revenue-producing activity, choosing a business structure, having the tax conversation, making the first investment decision, and doing all of it with other people in the room.

That is why the company describes its work as growing business and wealth by making money, keeping money and investing money, as a team. Every program on this site traces back to that sentence.

The method

How Loral teaches: the method behind the programs

Loral’s teaching is a handful of named ideas that she has used, in print and on stage, for more than two decades. Here is what each one means.

The Wealth Cycle

The Wealth Cycle is Loral’s framework for how money should move once you have it. She draws a line between income-producing assets and what she calls “lazy assets,” and the phrase she uses is “get off your lazy assets.” The idea is to redirect capital into assets that produce income, then use that income to acquire more of them, so the cycle feeds itself rather than waiting on a paycheck. Her 2007 book, The Millionaire Maker’s Guide to Wealth Cycle Investing, is the long version of this idea.

“Get off your lazy assets.”

The Cash Machine

A Cash Machine is a business built quickly from a skill you already have, with the specific purpose of generating new revenue now rather than after years of preparation. Loral’s point is that most people are already good at something other people will pay for, and that a new business does not need to be original to be useful. The Cash Machine funds the Wealth Cycle: its income is what gets invested. This is the subject of The Millionaire Maker’s Guide to Creating a Cash Machine for Life (2007) and, in a more personal register, Put More Cash in Your Pocket (2009).

Entity and tax strategy

Loral teaches business owners that how a business is structured, and how its income is taxed, shapes how much of what they make they actually keep. She treats entity choice and tax planning as part of the education, not an afterthought, and she is consistent that the decisions themselves belong with qualified tax and legal professionals. What she teaches is the vocabulary to have that conversation properly.

Wealth is a team sport

Loral’s position is that nobody builds wealth alone: you need mentors who have done it, peers who are doing it, and a professional team (tax, legal and financial professionals) who keep you honest. It is also why The Big Table, the company’s mastermind, puts those professionals in the room alongside its members.

Generational wealth (GenW)

GenW is Loral’s term for teaching families to build and pass on wealth together, including the children. Her 2022 book with Kyle Boeckman, Make Your Kids Millionaires, sets out the idea for parents; the GenW program carries it into practice.
