I had an email altercation with probably one of my oldest students in my student clan.
And not old by being around the longest but old as in...well, old.
Not that I have an issue with people of ANY age trying to re-direct their financial
path into something that is better than what they have now but old is MORE than
a state of physical well-being. Old is a mental thing too.
As with this student who...pissed me off beyond belief.
I wrote a little thing in memory of the tragedy that happened on 9-11 just to offer
some console in remembrance of that horrible day that we all remember like it
happened yesterday.
So...what do you know when I have ONE student -- and let me be clear -- this was
only ONE student who actually had a problem with what I wrote that day. Please
note that when I send email blasts out, they go out to over 60,000 people. But
there's always that ONE that wants to create havoc with any given thing I write.
Normally it doesn't phase me when people chime in with their nonsensical
comments and opinions about things. I've found that it's much easier for people
to blast back to me from the safe secure location of their keyboard behind their
computer screen, saying things that they wouldn't dare say to someone else's face.
Which is a little ball-less, if you ask me.
But anyway, this one particular student had said some things that I find to be
repulsive at best.
You see, when I sent out that email blast, it suggested that we are the greatest.
We...as in Americans.
Because no matter how many trials and tribulations we have as a country including
all the little things that we like to bitch about (politicians, the economy, etc.), we
don't have a bad deal being lucky enough to live here if you really think about it.
And let me remind you...NOWHERE is perfect, to be perfectly clear. There are
some places better than others and I would classify living in the United States as
one of those "better-than-most" areas to live in the world. For many of us, the USA
is "better-than-all" places to live but...of course, that's just a matter of personal
opinion.
But here's what pisses me off.
When you have someone living here in the United States and actually stating that
the USA ain't so great. Yeah? Then get the f*** and don't let the door hit you when
you leave.
As was exactly what I told this student of mine who had the audacity to state that
we suck as a country. That's great. But then get the hell out. Like right now!
What did she say exactly? A lot of things that I'd rather not repeat here otherwise
you'd get just as mad as I did, maybe even worse...possibly forming a lynch mob
fully equipped with lit stumps of wood to seek her out to hang her.
And who is this woman? Well, she lives in California and speaks with that slight
Madonna-esque accent as if she's from somewhere else except, in this woman's case,
she actually IS from somewhere else. (Madonna, on the other hand, is from the
Midwest but just pretends she's British.)
After I told this woman to get the hell out of my country if she wanted to sit there
and criticize everything about it, she sends me some other such nonsense of some
history lesson dating back to the 1300s about...some irrelevant bullsh** in which
case my response to her and every other time-waster is...
This is what I told her:
If you only spent more time on growing your business including (and especially)
real estate investing...you'd be a freaking multi-millionaire already!!
I think this relates to all of us now in that how much time are we wasting? With
thinking about, acting on, researching things that aren't designed to get us anywhere
in life? We're all guilty of these time-sucking activities whether it's Facebook,
playing Candy Crush on your iPhone...or worse offenses like signing up for
and prowling on Ashley Madison.
People aren't lazy. Well, some people are. But most people are just easily distracted.
There's a reason for this, as far as I can tell. It's easy to lack focus when you don't
really know what you're supposed to be focused on.
You see, recently I decided that I'm ready for a major 180-degree overhaul for
what I've been doing lately with Global Success. I've been putting it off, shoving
it to the back-burner annually for years now...and now realize that it's time to start
re-directing myself.
In a nutshell: It's time to focus on those who want to do something and get rid of
everyone else. And when I say everyone else, I mean everyone else! Tire kickers.
Gone. Time wasters. Gone. Bad apples who want to insult me for no other reason
than because they hate themselves and want to exude hatred toward everyone. Double gone.
For those of you who know you want to do something but don't know what that
may be, seriously...FIGURE IT OUT ALREADY!
As we roll into a highly profitable booming economy as the upcoming years unfold,
making money will become easier and easier even for those who have the most
mundane and mediocre product and sales pitch to go along with it. But the bottom
line is that you actually have to have something to sell people, units to rent to
tenants, and a workable way to make money otherwise you're not going to profit
like the rest of us.
The cool thing about right now as I start lining up to enter 2016 with a new set
of products to offer only my most serious students, I'm starting to let go of a lot
of my inventory for 2 reasons:
1) I'm moving my office...again. I downsized from a ridiculously huge building
of more than 4,000 square feet more than a year ago. But I took the downsizing
way too far and now I'm super cramped in this small office. Time to up-size again.
Therefore, before I have my staff start boxing stuff up, I want to get rid of it out
of my warehouse.
2) I'm starting to create the 2016 versions of my best-selling courses, namely the
Apartment Building Cash Flow System and my Build Business Credit FAST!
which will both have different names come next year. I realized as I'm upgrading
these courses that I want to do a major overhaul on all of my courses and products
which means that the ones I have now must go.
Enter your "last chance" opportunity to get any of my products this low...
I'm offering an Inventory Blow Out which will allow you to get the last handful of
products that I have left in my warehouse for a basement-bottom discount. Here's
the link: http://www.monicamain.com/inventory_blow_out
Please note that even though this promotion doesn't end until next week, we've
ALREADY sold out of a couple of our courses. So, check out the link above and
get your hands on what I have left at a steep discount before it's all gone!
P.S. If you want to profit from our upcoming booming economy, you need to get
your action plan moving forward right now. I have the tools you need to make this
happen. CLICK HERE NOW!
Raccoons are ripping up my front yard in the wee hours of every freaking morning.
Coincidentally, I just paid $2,000 for a landscaper to make my front lawn all nice
with new shrubs, bushes, plants, etc. Now it looks like the Tasmanian Devil tore
through my front grass. WTF??
Funny. I was just talking about scavengers recently and now I have a band of
furry ones that are now making my lawn life miserable. I guess I should just stop
complaining now because it's getting me exactly nowhere.
So today I went on Amazon and bought some coyote/fox urine crystals because I
found out that these little critters are deathly afraid of these animals. I'll let you
know if these urine crystals do anything. Or if it was just a ploy to extract $30 off
my credit card for the purchase of...basically hard crystallized piss in a bottle.
Back to perspective...real perspective!
Okay, so I had a scare last week. You haven't heard from me in a little while and
there's a reason for that. My daughter was very sick last week. She had a fever
that just didn't go away that fluctuated between 101 and 103. All week! It was
the sickest I had ever seen her. Finally her pediatrician gave her a super strong
dose of antibiotics that, by Day 3 (yesterday) started kicking in.
Man, was I worried about my little girl!! (Even worse, her dad didn't see her the
entire time she was sick. He called once or twice but never came to see her. How
that will play on her psyche in the years to come...the piece of sh**.)
And all that puts things into perspective really fast. When your child is really sick,
well-being dangling in the balance.
Forget about the creatures ripping up my lawn or how my boiler's pilot light went
out this morning and I had to take a cold shower...or how I'm on the verge of being
fined by my water company because of using too much water in a drought.
Or how since Lea left I'm still trying to find a balance within my office here.
Or the 900 other things eating away at my personal life like a vicious cancer.
Maintain priorities. Stay focused on what's important, whatever that is to you.
As we pan out from our minuscule personal lives and start looking at what's going
on nationally then, panning out again, globally...seriously. Do any of us really have
it that bad? Yes, I have pesky varmints ripping up my grass every day and a variety
of other things that I'd rather not have going on in my life.
But is it ever that bad?
This brings me to some important things that you should know. First off, I'm
almost done with my book. I technically "finished" it late last night and I'll be
adding a few things to it that I want to make sure is in there. I hit 305 pages.
There will probably be more but that's what I have so far. I'm looking at
releasing this book in October and it's my best work, by far. Very informative.
In the meantime, I'm looking at moving my office/warehouse by the end of
the year, as I can't take another minute in this cramped space anymore. So,
being that I decided there will be a 2016 update on most of my courses, this
means that 2015 inventory has to go, especially before we start boxing stuff up
for the move.
Now, even though there is an "end" date to this blow out which is next week,
I have quite a few super hot courses and seminar video sets that I only have
VERY FEW in stock. And the way the system is set up, once the last one sells
out, you get a nice SOLD OUT notice and you will be unable to purchase it.
Whenever I put up these blow out links, I usually sell out in a few days. Some
items will sell out today. So...if you're one of those Last Minute Charlies who
wait until 4:59 p.m. on the day of the deadline, I can guarantee you that most of
the stuff will be gone and ALL of the good stuff will have been sold out by then.
If you have any questions, please call 661-295-5050.
See you at the top!
Your mentor,
Monica Main
P.S. If you're one of those people who haven't been able to purchase some of
my courses and seminars on DVD because of the higher price tag, now is the time.
In 2016 I'll be increasing the prices (for some courses the increase will be dramatic)
so you'll want to get anything you can at the discounted price by CLICKING HERE
right now before the inventory is gone.
P.P.S. Some items will sell out in a day. Again, if you want a discount on my
hottest courses, CLICK HERE before they sell out!
More than a couple of years ago I was in Michigan around the holiday season shopping at a Kohl's. I was checking out when I had an encounter with a student of mine who happened to be a cashier at this particular Kohl's location. He asked if I was the "real" Monica Main. I suppose I could have screwed with him and said..."No, I'm the fake Monica Main" (whatever the hell that would mean) but I didn't.
So after I left the store, I started thinking about it. I made a "public" email blast offering to this fellow (who was wearing a name tag that suggested that his name was Victor) a free seat at my then upcoming Boot Camp Seminar which happened to be in Detroit.
But he never responded.
In fact, when he was talking to me, he stated that he got "all" of my emails.
So...why was it that -- after about 3 or 4 public email blasts to get this "Victor's" attention -- he never responded.
For a FREE seat at the then-upcoming seminar event??
Did he not really read all of my emails as he claimed?
Or was his name not really Victor and he was borrowing somebody else's name tag that day for his cashier shift at Kohl's because he forgot his name tag at home?
Or was he just shy and didn't want to contact me?
It's very rare that I offer opportunities like this to people but, for a brief second, I thought that there could have been some universe synchronicity going on for this Victor guy.
I mean, nobody recognizes me in public. I've had only one other person approach me and recognize me in my entire life. So I figured...this must be a sign. Right?
Wrong.
All these years later, Victor never contacted me. Never called my office. Never emailed.
So I decided, just for the pure hell of it, to call out to Victor one last time all these years later. I'm looking for the Victor that I met who is (or was) a cashier at Kohl's in the Westland Mall to see if Victor would like to come to my upcoming Detroit Boot Camp Seminar on October 23rd and 24th for free!
Victor, where the f*** are you, buddy?? If you're Victor, email me at mm@monicamain.com and tell me where the hell have you been, dude! (And by the way, the REAL Victor will be able to tell me who I was with that day so I'll be able to weed out any non-Victor free-seminar claimers who try to email me. ONLY VICTOR from THAT Kohl's needs to email me please.)
For the rest of you, I still want to see you in Detroit on October 23rd and 24th.
Here's why:
This is an Underground Secret Event. At these events, I ALWAYS give out way more powerful, exciting and kick-ass information than I do at other events because -- not only do I talk about never-before-divulged information -- I present once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to ONLY those who attend these events.
Now, you're probably thinking that this is going to be yet another event where I'll have a partnership opportunity.
But that's where you would be incorrect. At least there isn't going to be an opportunity that you're USED to seeing. This is going to be...TOTALLY DIFFERENT than anything presented before.
Then...I'm doubling it up and offering ANOTHER opportunity that has NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL ESTATE that is a HUGE money-maker.
Again, only for those who ATTEND the event.
This event is about Aggressive Income ONLY. We'll be talking about non-real estate Aggressive Income Businesses (Day One) and real estate Aggressive Income Strategies (Day Two).
Some of this will blow your mind.
I was going through a PowerPoint for the event that I created yesterday and I'm like..."Holy sh**! I've never actually COVERED this strategy before."
And I thought I had. Years ago. Buried among other very powerful real estate investing strategies at the time.
But it was never covered, never revealed. And I was shocked!
And this strategy for no-cash-no-credit real estate investing will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF completely and totally!
Now the bad news: I am SOLD OUT on Platinum VIP (although I'm taking a waiting list).
But the good news: I have General Admission tickets for an ultra-low price that will blow your mind.
Unfortunately, this pricing deal ENDS on Tuesday, September 15th at 5pm Pacific Time.
That means you have to ACT NOW or you'll lose out!!
Remember, YOU change your life. You can't wait around for life to change your circumstances for you because you'll end up nowhere while dying of old age, hating life all the while.
And it doesn't have to be that way.
The economy is heating up and it's getting easier and easier to make money but...you have to get out there and do something to collect what's due to you. And it all starts with understanding and implementing a SYSTEM for success which is exactly what I'll be revealing to you on October 23rd and 24th.
P.S. A lot of things are going to be changing for 2016. There will be fewer opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs who didn't start now to get into the game. We both know that you have to get out there if you want your slice of the financial pie. What are you waiting for?? Let's do this now! CLICK HERE to get started!
I get so tired of people who complain about this great country of ours. Sure, there are things that could use drastic improvement but...we live in an awesome country with LOTS of opportunities, benefits, and freedom that simply don't exist in many other areas of the world.
And we can never forget the trials and tribulations we've been through together as a nation, including and especially 9/11.
Whatever you think of the United States and Americans as a whole, you can't help but to see the resilience we have as a people while, even still, always extending kindness to others.
Instead of looking at the things we aren't, look at the awesome things we are as a people.
Instead of looking at our faults, look at our courage, innovation, and power that we exude asanation.
Instead of finding everything wrong with the USA, recognize the things that are right with our country.
And always feel blessed that we get to be a part of something so extraordinary that, ideally, will just keep getting better and better as our young country manages to figure out how to do things a little better with each passing year.
Let us honor the past while feeling grateful for the present and having the highest of ambitions for the future...
I first met Donald Trump back in 2003 at a real estate expo in LA. He didn't leave a good impression. I found him to be arrogant, acrimonious, overly aggressive, and bossy.
He hasn't changed at all.
But the moment that really told me who he was as a person was this:
A very attractive young woman asked him what she should do first since she was interested in getting involved in real estate investing. He told her, "Don't bother. Find a rich man to take care of you instead."
I've hated him ever since.
This morning I thought about this: What if I had the opportunity to ask him ONE question on national TV? What would I ask him?
And I thought about it. I would ask him ONE thing: "Mr. Trump, can we see your birth certificate? We, as Americans, have the right to know for sure whether you're an American or not. After all, you don't expect us to simply take you WORD for it, do you? So, when can you show us all your birth certificate?"
With that, I started laughing, providing me with about 10 seconds worth of cheap, cheesy entertainment for myself in the shower.
This question serves one purpose: to ruffle his feathers. After all, he'd be thinking, "How dare you?" Point served.
Well, you COULD be from somewhere else like Canada or England or Australia. After all, maybe his mother was pregnant, they took a family vacation, and out popped The Donald. We don't really KNOW where he was born, do we? And we can't really just take his WORD for it, right?
Personally I don't care where he was born. I'm not planning on voting for him anyway. He could have been born in...Kenya...for all I care. While I'm all for finding a smart business man or woman to run the country -- as I think it's what the United States needs -- Donald Trump wouldn't be the guy. He is full of ego and this is solely the intent for this race. Ego. A feather in his cap. He has no interest in helping people except for himself.
One thing I try to relay to my students OVER AND OVER AGAIN is that it doesn't matter who is in office. Nobody who ends up there -- whether it's Trump or Hillary or Sanders or Rubio or anyone else -- is going to help you better your life in any way. The national debt will still keep getting higher, the middle class will keep getting squeezed out, the value of our dollar will keep dropping, and things will keep getting "worse" on the political front as they continue turning on themselves. Read the book Animal Farm by George Orwell if you don't know what I'm talking about.
You need to look out for yourself. You need to see every advantage that there is in our great country while taking every disadvantage and turning it around for yourself. Nobody will EVER magically come into office, wave a wand, and make everybody's life full of rainbows with overflowing pots of gold in their backyards. Never gonna happen so stop thinking it will with the "next guy" (or gal). Bottom line: they're all the same and they're not in politics to make YOUR life better. They're in politics to make THEIR lives (including those who belong to the "elite") better.
With every disadvantage in this country, there are still a lot of advantages that you can benefit from. But it all starts with understanding WHAT you need to do and, most importantly, getting off your ass and doing something! Nothing happens by dreaming, wishing, and praying.
Action is the ONLY way to make changes in your life. Having a plan and then taking action can change anyone's life completely around within only a couple of months. You have every advantage. You are (presumably) in the United States and you speak English. So, the only one stopping you from having everything you want in life is...YOU!
Some of you are wearing me down to the bone, let me tell you.
Like this one f***** idiot in one of my mentorship groups -- a freaking GUY, of course -- who wants to make every excuse as to why he "doesn't understand" something or why he "can't do" something. I've gone above and beyond with email consulting, even had him call into the office several times to get the special hand-holding he needs for using the Cash Flow Evaluator (CFE) but...no, it's too easy to keep complaining rather than taking the help that is offered because, the reality is, he doesn't want to be successful. He just wants to complain.
Again, I seem to notice this pattern with these very weak, no balls men who keep showing up over and over again. I can't even remember the last time I had any of my female students flare up with a complex of apathy or outright excuse-making.
I'm thinking of buying a very large box of oversized tampons and I'll start sending these 10-inch tampons to every guy who complains about every little thing...telling him to jam it up his ass. That'll definitely "cure" their complaining, as they'll finally have something a little more pressing and legitimate to complain about. Hell, I'll even offer to fly out on my dime to shove it up his ass FOR him. And no, there won't be any lube offered in this complimentary tampon-ass jamming service.
Years ago (circa 2001) when I would do direct mail campaigns, I would actually pay extra to have all women eliminated from my mailing lists. This would cost me an extra $5 per thousand names. Back then I found that very few (if any) woman I would market to had almost no interest in building any kind of investment empire for herself and including the ladies in my direct mail campaigns proved to be a total waste of money.
Fast forward to about 2006 where there was a complete 180-degree change in the attitude among women that happen to get my mailer inadvertently; I found that there was a huge change in how they felt about wanting to take the bull by the horns and take a crack at doing the business. They would call me, enthusiastic and ambitious, willing to do whatever it took to change their lives.
What a difference only 5 years makes.
Since then, this "girl power" has gotten more and more aggressive as more women are ready to make their financial lives happen. You go, ladies! No, life isn't about finding some man to take care of you. In order to truly empower yourself, you can make money on your own and then you rule the roost.
Did you know that I've made more money than all of the men I've dated and have been married to you...combined? And it's relatively effortless as far as I see it.
You see, back when I was a know-it-all teenager, I used to tell my parents (in a rather snotty manner, I might add) that it's "easy" to start a business with nothing. My dad, of course, argued the latter with me, stating that this just wasn't the case in the real world.
Now, most teenagers are wrong about...well, most everything. But one thing you have to admire about the teen spirit is that their heads haven't been overly brainwashed by too many outside influences, namely the burden and disappointment of life...not yet anyway. There can be power in blindly thinking you know something when you're 15 years old, even if it mostly isn't true for the majority of how the real world works.
And that's ALWAYS been my belief system that just gets stronger and stronger by the day. It's EASY to make money and it's EASY to start a business with nothing.
I've proven this to be a REAL FACT over and over again. This started as a "foolish" and blind belief system I somehow got into my head in my early teen years and it's been substantiated as a fact time and time again, reinforcing this believe even stronger.
My first multi-million-dollar business cost me a few hundred dollars to start, in which I earned working as a waitress. I was 19 when I started the business. By the time I was in my early 20s, I was making about $60,000 a week. Yes, you read that correctly. I averaged $60,000 a f****** week from a simple mail order business. This was BEFORE the Internet, BEFORE social media bullshit, BEFORE email marketing, and even BEFORE I could get a merchant account to take credit cards. I didn't even have a phone number for people to call. I had them send me the order in the form of a check or money order.
And in case you're wondering what $60,000 a week ads up to be, that's over $3,000,000 a year.
I was barely 22 years old when I was hitting these numbers.
Of course, being as naive as I was at that time, I ended up losing everything including my business. So what? I just started over.
My next business was, again, started from scratch a handful of years after that. I had a low-limit credit card ($1,200) and I started another small mail order business with a few hundred dollars borrowed from that credit card.
And within a year, I had that business up into the millions...grossing over $4 million in its second year.
Again, it was started from "nothing."
But I am a different person than these whiny students of mine who want to make every excuse in the book as to why they CHOOSE to be mentally challenged.
Instead of seeing an obstacle, I see a way around the blockage. I figure out a way that it CAN be done instead of lining up a legal page full of reasons as to why something can't work.
And I guess that's the difference between ME and some of my bitching, complaining male students that I seem to have daily struggles with these days. (This is going to end very soon, by the way. I'm making some drastic changes that will be announced in December. Those of you coming to Detroit will know sooner, as I'll be announcing my exciting new plans there.)
This is also the difference between SUCCESS and FAILURE. You create your own failure by finding reasons as to why something isn't possible in your life. But when you stop telling yourself, "I can't" and replace it with, "I can" then everything starts to shift.
Then be willing to roll up your sleeves and get on with it. Start doing something. The universe can't send you checks from the clouds. You have to sell something to people or get out there and do something to get the money rolling in.
Pretty simple, right?
One of my most successful teaching tools are my mentorship groups because they force my students to go out into the real world over the course of several weeks and actually start doing things out there. These groups are 100% online but they make you do things to get your business kicked into gear.
Since it's "back to school fever" right now, it's time for you to go back to school too. Time for you to learn something new and to get the life you've been talking about for real this time.
You'll be able to get yourself back in school with a variety of mentorship groups I have going on between now and through January 2016 at a basement-bottom deal!
You don't learn anything new unless you make the effort and you are willing to do something about your life the way it is now. If you're not happy with it, MAKE THE CHANGES. The changes don't happen by themselves. Wishing for a better life will never happen unless you DO something about it.
And that starts today. Start doing something about it right now.
