Sharing through the Power of the Mastermind

Giving Back

June 17, 2007

I have got to head to the gym this morning and tackle a million other things, but not without leaving you with a reflection or two.

We had a real estate investing seminar last Thursday and as usual, I met with people interested in learning about how to secure their financial futures. It’s funny because I am starting to see many of my students coming back to the free seminars, only this time they are bringing other people with them so that they too can learn what is making them so prosperous. Last night was awesome! As promised we had students there who after going through our program shared their success stories where they had made any where from $7000 to $100,000 with what they learned from Colorado Real Estate Secrets! It gets no better than that. At this point in time with everyone doing so well, we never know which testimonials to put on stage, the success stories are more than abundant. Our student who made $19,000 in 3 weeks said it best…. He said, “women sometimes lie and men sometimes lie, but checks do not lie.” I am so excited for him. If he made all that money in 3 weeks using NONE of his own money, I can only imagine where he will be in a year after being with us and our mastermind team. I am so excited!

Do you have any idea how good it feels to have started a program two years ago and have so many people who have their lives changed as a result of what we are teaching? That is powerful and I have spent my whole life wondering how I could make a difference for people. I never knew what to do, but I knew I needed to make a difference in some way. When I realized success as an investor, I wanted for others in our own community to do the same. It is all about giving back and life is absolutely no fun unless you are helping others to realize their dreams as well. I admire every single person who dedicates their life to helping others!

What are you doing to make a difference? Most of us are doing something and even on the smallest level that is all that counts. But remember the better position you are in financially, the more you will be able to help impact the life of someone else. It starts with taking care of you first and then spreading it all around to others.
If you missed the seminar last week, I urge you to register for our next one we are holding by popular demand at the Academy Hotel in Colorado Springs. Come on out June 28th and see more success stories from your own community and find out how you could be the next one. Register now at: www.coloradorealestatesecrets.com or call 800-791-0084.

Until next time,

Time To Unlearn Some Things

June 15th, 2007

Happy Friday! The sun is shining and the weather is warm! A little sunshine is good for lifting the spirits.

I was speaking to a friend over the weekend and she was talking about all of the things and ideals she was raised with by her parents. It was interesting because she said it has taken her a long time to realize that she actually needs to “unlearn” many of the things she was taught by them. As an adult she now realizes that they were only passing on the concepts they were raised with and that it is just a cycle that goes from generation to generation. I thought about it and actually agreed. Our parents raised us to the best of their ability and we took what they said as gospel simply because well….they were our parents and we are supposed to listen. But as adults now who are able to think for ourselves, I bet we could all come up with some things our parents taught us that we need to “unlearn.” Even down to the simplest stuff.

Let me give you an example on a small level. My dad used to always tell me to just wash my face with Noxema, this started back when I was 12 and had a bout with teenage acne. He told me to forget about all the fancy products and just use Noxema and my bumps would go away. And so when they did go away, I continued to use Noxema. I used it for years and years. After quite some time a friend told me that it was too drying for my skin and turned me onto some excellent new skin care products. My skin began to look better than it ever had. Now while this is a funny example, it goes to show how deeply rooted into what are parents tell us we are! My dad was not a dermatologist, he was an x-ray technologist, so why I continued to use Noxema for all these years listening to him about skin care is beyond me!! LOL
Now while that is a harmless example, think about the misinformation we may have received from our parents that is potentially harmful. And I am not saying it is intentional, it’s just that you don’t know what you don’t know. And as adults we need to unlearn the things that hinder us in any way. The millionaires that belong to my husband’s mastermind group have a common philosophy. While at dinner one night with them, one of them said that they refuse to send their children to college to learn Business from professors who only make about $60,000 per year. I initially thought that was harsh, but then I thought about it. He is a multi-millionaire real estate investor and makes hundreds of thousands of dollars per MONTH. If he can teach his children what he is doing, what would be the real purpose of sending them to school to learn Business Management from people making $60,000 per year? And I am all for education, but I can see where he is coming from. I have a college degree, however my career as an investor has earned me way more money than any job I ever had using my college degree!
Do you have some things you need to unlearn? If so you are not alone, most of us do. If you want to see some people who learned the RIGHT stuff, come on out to our power packed seminar at the Academy Hotel in Colorado Springs. Come on out June 28th and see more success stories from your own community and find out how you could be the next one. Register now at: www.coloradorealestatesecrets.com or call 800-791-0084.

Paying attention to the important stuff!

June 14th, 2007

We are preparing for another busy real estate investing retreat this weekend. I am so happy because we have people who attended seminars months ago who were afraid to join, but as they keep coming back, watching what we do and all of the success stories we are producing, they are finally calling our offices ready to finally take that step and change their lives. I find that most people who come to our free seminars have tried real estate investing in some shape or fashion before, so I consider our crowds very smart and business savvy. Most have shopped around and attended other seminars, but somehow they feel what we have to offer is what they are looking for. After all, no other program in this area can boast the amount of success our students have had! If I tally up the money made cumulatively by our students since we started, we are over a million dollars in success stories!! I am actually impressed with myself, LOL!!! It is not that our secrets can’t be duplicated! It is that we live these life-changing principles and that is what makes the difference. My husband can make a champion of anyone, he is an inspiration to this community and proof that ANYONE can make a change in their life and attain success. And I can honestly say he has made a champion out of me too, simply by supporting me when I wanted to learn real estate investing and then helping me make my dream of sharing my success with others around the country.

I wanted to take a moment and talk about a paradigm shift. That is a complete change in your thinking from how most of us were brought up. My husband has several businesses and we do the whole investing thing together. Yet both of us do a lot of writing to large lists of people. We sometimes get emails from people telling us to check our grammar before we send stuff out. And trust me, when I was still teaching full time and he was working on his businesses, I was Mrs. Grammar too, always proofreading his stuff and telling him he has a million typos. He would tell me that it didn’t matter and that in the corporate and academic world we are rated on that stuff but not in “his” world. And for a long time I just didn’t get it and thought who would ever take him seriously if he couldn’t even spell or put in the right punctuation. But seeing all his success soon made me change my mind. While I was slaving away at work crossing all my “I’s” and dotting all my “T’s” he was making millions spelling stuff wrong. Fast forward to how I evolved in investing and the thousands of people I now write to….Guess what? I now make a million grammatical errors every day too! I have no time to proofread my writing, the most important thing is that I am getting a message out there. And that message is that I know how to make myself and others life-changing money. So trust me that I know how to spell and I do know the proper uses of punctuation, I graduated from colege school with a 3.6 and held teaching positions both in the Catholic and public schools. But all that got me was a 5% increase every year! So I do know how to spell and write, it’s just that sometimes I frankly don’t have the time to proofread! I’m too busy making money for other people and that has proved to be a better use of my time! The GREAT part is that I knew NOTHING about investing and felt very inferior. But I soon realized how easy it was as long as you had the right mentors and secret information most have no clue about! I have a student who used to email me all the time appalled that I wasn’t proofing my writing or my husband’s writing. That was BEFORE she signed up for class and now we laugh all the time. She now says that she doesn’t care if I can’t spell CAT, all she knows is I have forever changed her financial life!

If you want to learn how that whole paradigm shift works, come on out to our power packed seminar and see people just like you who have joined a whole new world and had their lives changed. Come on out June 28th and see more success stories from your own community and find out how you could be the next one. Register now at: coloradorealestatesecrets.com or call 800-791-0084.
