I think people have been wondering why I've been on and off the fence on teaching real estate investing strategies for the past couple of years now.  Well, to be honest, there have been quite a few moments of sheer wanting-to-jump-off-a-bridge frustration when trying to teach these strategies because sometimes they're not as simple as 1-2-3.  There's something called a PROCESS that must be utilized and followed with precision to do well as a real estate investor.  While I teach these PRECISE blueprints to my students, many times I feel like I'm dealing with the bottom-of-the-barrel lower-echelon folks who want this to be as easy as SOMEBODY ELSE doing ALL the work while they sit on their ass watching TV to collect huge checks...and that ain't how it works in ANY legitimate business.

For example, more than a few years ago I had somebody buy my Apartment Building Cash Flow System (now called Apartment Riches).  Nine days later he returned it (one of the VERY RARE returns we get) with the complaint that he didn't make millions in that 9-day time-frame so he thought it was a "scam" because of it.

Listen, people.  Anyone who tells you that you CAN make millions in real estate in just 9 days IS running a scam.  (You can't even close on your first apartment building in 9 days...even if you're paying 100% cash after finding your first deal on Day One!)  And if you're dumb enough to believe it then you deserve to be robbed of your hard-earned money.

Real estate investing is an ART just like balancing ANY business is.  And it's also a PROCESS of STEPS that MUST be completed WITH SKILL if you are to become successful doing this.  No exceptions.  Remember, anything worthwhile to YOU and to your bank account ideally will be a process so that you can simply wash, rinse...and repeat as many times as you want to make as much money as you want.

Only YOU know if this is the type of business YOU want to be in.  I cannot personally answer that question for you, which is a question I frequently get via email...going something a little like this:  "What kind of real estate do you think I should get into?" Hmmm...How the hell should I know?  I know what type of real estate I like to invest in but that only applies to ME.  I have no idea what type YOU will like to invest in.  Maybe you should try out different types of investing AND businesses to see what YOU will like.  Maybe real estate isn't your thing at all.  Maybe it's some type of online business.  You won't know until you try some things out for size.

Take a look at one of my long-time students, Ben, and the email he just sent to me:

"Hi Monica,
I have to take this time and pay you much appreciation for opening my eyes and providing me the confidence to reach financial freedom! Your no non-sense advice has really guided and just yesterday, I calmly told my Boss that I will no longer offer my services as the Lead Cosmic Origins Spectrograph Engineer for Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope Program! I can honestly say that I am only coming to work the next few months out of respect for my managers to train my replacement and to satisfy my personal desire to contribute to the science community.

Since attending your Multifamily Apartment Seminar in Detroit in Nov 2014, I really applied your teachings and came back to Washington DC fired up!! The next 12 months I raised private money, flipped 12 homes and kept pushing for more. One day I realized the system I developed that allowed me to flip houses while also maintaining a challenging career with NASA, was the same system I could use to develop multi-million dollar deals. And your training on obtaining aggressive income to do larger real estate deals was key! Direct Marketing wasnt my thing but I did push me to find a sweet niche converting 3-level townhomes into two, 2-level high end luxury condominiums on Capitol Hill. Also from your mentorships on researching markets to purchase apartments, I found myself very attracted to Tampa's economy ... so I jumped on a plane every other weekend and started building duplexes in Tampa in 2016. Concurrently I only focused on small development deals in DC as they grossed over 1.5M each! And each door I built in Tampa was netting over $500 each! 

And now I've surpassed my financial freedom point with passive income and have enough cash and credit to build my own apartments from scratch! More importantly, I have my freedom to enjoy my family and experience life with no boundaries.

As you know I'm not the most vocal person but I had to take this time to appreciate the knowledge and confidence you instilled in me to break this rat race! My next goal is to break the 100M mark so I can double back to help sponsor SpaceX to reach Mars and help humans travel our solar system! 

Many Thanks Monica and See You at the Top!

Another successful student,  
Ben"


Amazing testimonial, don't you think?  One of the best I've gotten.  Yes, I get these types of testimonials regularly but this one really touched my heart.  Ben has been a student of mine for years.  He's tried out different things, "hit" one something he really likes that he's GOOD at and that he's making a ton of money doing.  But the only way to know what "fits" you is by trying things on for size!

And it's the testimonials like THESE that keep me in the training and teaching game because it makes it so gratifying for me to get these emails!

There is new activity on the real estate front which will be one of my main focuses throughout the rest of this year and all of next year.  In fact, I'm releasing the 20th Anniversary Edition of my Real Estate Cash Flow System which includes new unsecured money sources, private lenders, and partnership opportunities.  (CLICK HERE for the latest and greatest including the VERY RARE opportunity to get money from my investor for your deals).   Why?  Because NOW is when you should get started in this WHILE we're at a cooling off "stand-still" (mostly with commercial properties) by making your money connections, staking your claim in a specific area of the country, finding out which TYPE of real estate you'd like to become an amazing investor at...START NOW instead of later when everyone will be running around like a chicken with their head cut off because they won't know how to get money, where to start, what to do...all while the deals are flowing around them like snowflakes in a winter storm.  If you don't have it all lined up NOW and get involved NOW then by the time all the "action" starts hitting, you won't be anywhere near prepared to take advantage of these opportunities...kind of like how many of you were ill-prepared during the LAST recession which is why most of you have no properties from a time when we had the LOWEST property prices with the LOWEST interest rates in American history.  BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT PREPARED!

Time to change that NOW.  CLICK HERE.  No more excuses.  You either DO THIS or you don't.  Your choice.

I'm offering a smashing deal on the 20th Anniversary Edition of the Real Estate Cash Flow System plus offering bonus lenders, investors, and partnerships plus offering you a very special bonus...which goes away very soon!

Normally I don't wish bad on any organization but there is one particular company that DESERVES my spit and venom for right now.

It's the United States Postal Service.  That's right.  The USPS.  F*** them.  They suck...and they're only getting worse as time goes on.

Where is this coming from?  From 25+ years in working directly with them with my direct mail marketing campaigns AND by using them consistently in just about every avenue in my business that requires something to be mailed and shipped.  Yet there's been this subtle shift that's been taking place which seemed to have jolted into a full-blown 8.4 earthquake since the postal rate increase a couple of weeks ago.

Just last week I walked into the post office.  It was just after 8:30am.  The phone was ringing off the hook.  The only lonely employee standing behind the counter refused to answer it.  I listened to that damned phone while I was filling out a label for a package for a returned product.  By the time I got up to the counter, I was about ready to start beating my head up against the wall to give me a diversion over the loud phone ringing, all the while wondering how the hell ANYONE could just stand there are refuse to answer the phone when it's on its 65th ring.  (I was on the verge of jumping the counter and answering it myself...but the phone stopped ringing.  The caller probably just dropped dead...having died of old age waiting for someone to answer.)

I asked the lady behind the counter for 50 rolls of stamps.  She looked at me sideways like I was crazy.  "I don't have 50 rolls of stamps.  Come back at 10 when Christine is here."  She was rude and disrespectful, which I've come used to when dealing with USPS employees.  It seems that the more money you want to spend with their organization, the more abuse they feel like dishing out.  Oh, but if you're the little old lady buying your one book of stamps a year, you'll get the MOST respect from a USPS employee.  But...a commercial client like me who writes checks to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars a month for mailings?  I routinely get treated like dog sh** by the USPS.  And I'm sick of it.

Just last week, after FINALLY getting my stamps being a bum-like "drifter" wasting time hopping from one post office to another until I collected my 5,000 postage stamps, I brought them back for a mailing to the ladies at the office.   They got the majority of my special mailing done but everyone wanted to leave.  It was Friday.  I said, "Go home.  I'll take the mail."  That would be a decision I'd instantly start to regret.

At this point, I knew taking the mail to any USPS counter, I'd AGAIN be treated like a criminal sack of crap for bringing in such a large amount of mail to ANY USPS location because, God forbid, now they actually have to PROCESS the mail and lift those heavy bins off the counter.  (Oh, no!  WORK!)  So, instead of electing to deal with being treated this way, I took the mail to my local distribution center and spent an extra 30 minutes stuffing the mail slots full of mail.  Yes, that's right.  I drove 15 minutes out of my way and spent all this time stuffing mail bins just to purposely AVOID dealing with any USPS counter employee who I knew would treat me like crap for, again, spending so much money with them and actually expecting them to do a little work for their paycheck.  As I was stuffing the bins, I told myself that my direct mail marketing days were coming to a fast end.  In fact, I decided that after my next set of mailings (slated between now and the first week of July), I'll be done with utilizing this as a method for marketing.  Sad...but true.  Well, actually, NOT sad.  Sad for them, not sad for me.

Just as I was having this personal internal conversation about myself in this part pissed-off, part zenned-out state of stuffing these mail bins, this older guy in a large truck came driving through to mail a single bill in an envelope.  He made a comment about my large mailing and offered me two organic oranges from his farm.  Then...strangely enough, started asking me questions about what's going on with the USPS...as if I worked there or something.  But I knew.  And even more strange, I was able to actually furnish him with answers to all of his questions. He mentioned that he owned an organic farm and that he ships his fruit nationwide.  The problem is that he'll mail his packages to his customers on the bases of the two-day "guaranteed" Priority mail promise and yet NONE of his fruit has been getting to his customers on time.  It's been going bad in transit and he's losing his ass in his business now because of customer refunds due to this.  I told him to start using FedEx, as that would be his best bet (since UPS blows) and that it's too bad DHL doesn't do nationwide shipping anymore (international only now) because they were the best option, hands down.

I also told this gentleman that this all started back last year before the election, when I was told by my mail processing lady at the distribution center that I needed to ADD 5 to 7 days on all my pre-sorted first-class mail, making it 10 days total now.  And that my standard mailings would be going from 10 to 14 days...to now 21 days to be received by anyone.  What the freak?!  The more money I spend, the more I get punished as a commercial mailer.  She shrugged her shoulders, gave me the "can't-do-anything-about-it" speech, and we left it at that.

Now the PROMISED two-day Priority "guaranteed" mail isn't getting there on time...starting only a few weeks ago for many, but I noticed this shift occurring late last year.  It's now worse than ever.  And how the USPS can PROMISE something and NOT deliver (literally) makes me wonder why the FTC isn't finding them a gazillion dollars for false advertising and FRAUD, because essentially that's what that is.  Anyone else in the economic marketplace selling a product under false pretenses and promises would be fined and possibly jailed depending on the promise.  Not the USPS, I guess.

And if I wasn't frustrated enough, I had received a phone call from my former step-son who I sent a card to for his birthday....in the middle of April.  I mailed him a birthday card with a gift card inside on April 14th with the two-day Priority PROMISE that it would be received by him in two days, well enough time before his April 20th birthday, right??  WRONG!  It's now June and he STILL hasn't received this Priority envelope.

Here's the reality:  The USPS is in trouble.  This is just the tip of the iceberg for the turmoil that's to come with these people.  I don't know if they're pissed off about the rate drop or they're just lazy or what the problem is.  I've been told that there are cut-backs so there are fewer postal employees.  I've been told other excuses as to why things aren't working with them anymore.  All pitiful excuses.  I just don't understand how a system that's over 200 years old can suddenly not work as efficiently anymore...unless the people working WITHIN the organization aren't working anymore.  And I'm sure I'll get a few emails from those of you who work for the USPS with whatever "reason" as to why it is sucking now more than ever, just when I was starting to have some hope that they would pull themselves out of this ditch they dug themselves into.  Now they're going backwards...again.  Possibly for good this time.

I'm stuck using USPS for all of my marketing and mailing for now since it outpulls any response I get online or using any other marketing avenues.  But for you...well, you don't have to use USPS like I do.

In fact, I have a highly prosperous yet uniquely rare business for you to consider.

And I want to send it to you for free.  All you have to do is cover $10 shipping and handling.

P.S.  If you think the global and national economic shifts are simply not going to happen because the US government told you so, think again!  The economic sands have yet to start shifting since we haven't gotten to our "post-pandemic" economy yet.  Don't get too comfortable.  Don't think that everything is okay.  There are many more surprising and shocking changes on the horizon.  Be prepared and you'll profit.  Settle in to comfort and you'll probably end up losing the most when the next big change happens, which is just around the corner.  CLICK HERE to find out about this powerful and prosperous opportunity right now!

I've been making a personal observation of the people around me.  When they complain about not being able to "get ahead" or wonder why the seas aren't parting for them, it's because they're getting in their own way and they don't even know it.

It's quite sad, actually.

Even worse, it's almost impossible to see anything about your own life when you're swimming in the muddy waters, trying to keep your head just far enough above to not drown.  However, when it comes to other people's lives, this is when it becomes obvious what they're doing "wrong" when it comes to not succeeding in ways that they talk about wanting to succeed.

There are a few different reasons why you're not where you want to be in life:

1)  You're not specific enough about where you want to be so...how the hell do you expect to get there if you don't know where "there" looks like?

2)  You're "too busy" to focus on the things that will get you to where you want to be in life.  Life keeps getting in the way and "one day" when you have time, you'll get around to doing the things you know you have to do to reach those dream goals.

3)  You're waiting around for the magic genie, Santa Claus, or some other mythical creature to magically make the life you want appear without any work on your part.  Or you're banking on winning the lottery, inheriting millions from a distant relative, or coming across a bag full of money in a phone booth.  (Do they still have phone booths anymore?)

Or...maybe you don't know what the heck you want but you know what type of life you have now simply isn't working out or making you happy at all.

I have hundreds of thousands of students.  Many go on to be extremely successful with my wealth-building strategies.
 

Then there are others who completely fail.  And it's not for the lack of trying either.

One day it dawned on me why these people fail.  I realized why some people hit their success out of the ballpark right away while others fail with one project after another until they finally give up.

A lot of people always ask me the same question which goes something like this:  "Monica, where should I start out first?"

Well, if you want to make money right away, find a business you can start that can generate a lot of cash for you right off the bat.
 

It may seem obvious, but it's not.  I think this is because people have no idea what kind of business can generate a lot of cash (minimum of $20,000 per month) just starting off.
 

But I have a business for you.  CLICK HERE to find out what I'm talking about.

Yesterday morning I took my daughter Brie to breakfast at a local restaurant that we often frequent.  I really enjoy these breakfasts with her.  It gives us extra time to bond and it's truly priceless.
 

As we walked up to the restaurant, I could see a destitute man sitting alone on a bench talking to himself.  My heart went out to him as I thought about where his family could be and why life was seemed so unforgiving to him.

I asked the man politely if I could offer him some money to help him out.  I mentioned that I didn't want to be disrespectful but I wanted to offer him something.  He said it would help get the dogs some food and he graciously accepted what I would offer.

I reached into my purse grabbed two folded $20 bills then handed the folded money to my daughter so she could benefit from the joy of helping someone out.  He thanked me and we went into the restaurant.

While we were sitting at the table, Brie started asking me questions about him.  She wondered why he was talking to himself and why he didn't have a home.  I said I didn't really know anything about the guy but something must've went wrong at some point in his life.

I remember the first time I had introduced her to the word "homeless" and had to explain what it truly meant.  I remember how sad it made her.  Her sadness touched my heart because she didn't understand why someone wouldn't have a home in a world (that she knows) as being abundant.  It didn't quite register.

Both Brie and anyone homeless are correct in the reality of their life.

Brie is correct in that life is abundant and has the ability to give everyone anything they want if they go for it.

Those who are homeless are correct in that life is lacking because somehow along the way they chose that lifestyle or chose to believe that poverty is a reality.

During breakfast, I pondered how someone like that could possible get out of that situation.  What could you do if you're not given a break by anyone?  How could you possibly shift out of that and into something better?

I thought of the possibilities.

Maybe collect cans for cash.  Maybe get a post office box as an address.  Maybe scrounge around Good Will to find some things you can sell on online.  Maybe buy a cheap camera and use the computer with an Internet connection at a library to start a small eBay business or Poshmark.

At least that's what I would do.

Unfortunately, it's not just the mechanics of pulling out of their circumstance that's holding back those who are homeless.  It's the heavy black cloud that looms over them day in and day out, blocking out any possibly hope they could ever have about their future.

As we left the restaurant, the man (who apparently didn't realize I gave him $20 before) was ridiculously grateful and said "thank you" over and over again.  

I looked at the man.  He looked like Burt Reynolds (if you remember who he was) back in his Smokey and the Bandit days.  If he was cleaned up and dressed up, he could easily walk a red carpet anytime anywhere.

What the hell happened to this guy?

The worst part is...

This can happen to any of us.

Once upon a time this guy was probably considered "normal" by society's standards and he hit a rough patch.  And now he walks around town, scrounging around for money and food, sleeping...who knows where at night.

Again, none of us are immune to this possibility.

When you travel through LA (as I frequently do) and see a matted-haired homeless person pushing a shopping cart and wearing every bit of clothing they own on their back in 90+ degree weather...talking to themselves; what do you think?

Do you ignore them as a crazy person?

Or do you think..."What the f#@* went wrong?"

Do you think they came out of their mother's womb as a total whack job that talked to themselves and aspired to live on the streets of LA, talking to themselves while pushing borrowed shopping carts down the street?

No, my friend.  Something snapped at some point in their adulthood.  They couldn't handle the pressures of everyday living and their brain shut down in parts.  Talking to themselves is a means of coping.  And many times they become their own only friend in this entire world.  Sad, isn't it?

I am sometimes condemned by family members for giving money to strangers.  Other people who think they "understand" why I do it think I do it as a form of tithing.

Both sets of people are wrong.

I do it because life has beat the sh** out of me many times and I understand the very real possibility that any one of us (including myself) can end up like those people. 

I do it because I would want someone to help me, even a little bit, if I were in that situation. 

I do it for "brownie points" because I hope the Universe will give me a "pass" and not shove me into a situation like that against my will.

And the main reason I do it because the only people who feel truly grateful for what I can give to them -- even if it's a few dollars -- are those who have been humbled by the severity of the worst that life can dish out.

The only time I ever feel a sincere blessing from anyone is when I can give to someone who is in need the most.  And I need to feel their genuine blessing as much (if not more) than they need a few dollars.

Why?

Because when you're someone with money, everyone who contacts you (including and especially "friends" and family) wants money.  And when they get it from you, they want more.  And when they get more and you finally tell them to f#@* off after several years of the financial abuse, they immediately come to hate you and everything you are.

And it makes you feel sad because you are who you are after a time.

And that's where I'm at right now.

So...how does someone who is seemingly living a normal life spin out of control and end up homeless?

The truth is this...

The mind/brain goes first.  And when I say "go" I don't mean that they snapped or went crazy or anything like that.  I mean that there was a slight shift in the thought process.  Somewhere along the way they lost focus and maybe one or more things occurred in a short time frame that flushed their confidence down the drain where before they believed they could take care of themselves.  This could have been a divorce, loss of a job, bankruptcy, or something that shook their frame to the core...something they ultimately could not recover from.

It happens a lot.  Someone loses a good job.  Then they lose their house.  They find themselves living in Mom's basement.  There are no job prospects.  They take to drinking.  Mom kicks them out.

Or there's a divorce.  Or someone close dies.

Or some other such scenario.

Bottom line: something throws them off kilter and they lose confidence in themselves.  And they lose control...ending up on the streets in the end.

What am I getting to here?

It's simple.

Just as easily as you could be thrown off kilter, you can choose to shift into a different direction to get what you want in life.

How?

It's so ridiculously simple that you'll probably discard it as being insignificant but here it is anyway.

1)  Decide: you have to first decide that you're ready to go into a different direction in your life.  To "decide" actually means "to cut off" other alternatives.  It essentially means get off the fence and go in one direction with confidence while letting go of another possibility or reality.  You also have to decide what that different direction will be (obviously).

2)  Know-how/mechanics:  once you decide which direction you want to go into, you need to get the proper know-how or mechanics (in order) that have to happen in order to achieve what you're doing.  This includes education which needs to ultimately turn into a step-by-step action plan that you can follow in a specified order.

3)  Action:  do it.  Period.  Sitting on your ass thinking about it, talking about it, and dreaming about it will get you absolutely nowhere quick!  My "smarties" or those of you who have high IQs, advanced degrees, or just think too much at 2am instead of sleeping end up thinking yourselves right out of success because you have trained your brains to weigh the "cons" against the "pros."  And no action ever happens.  So, do me a favor and "dumb yourself down" so you can take action and stop thinking about all the "what ifs" that will probably never happen.

I have to admit that for the past couple of years I started losing focus.  I think this happened because I got bored with my life.

No matter what I tried to do to snap my focus back, it continued to wane.

This is when I discovered that it was also time for a life change.  Maybe you're feeling the same way too.

Last year I was able to get my "groove" back with a new business I started from scratch.

I first started my new company to demonstrate how easy it was to set up a new "little" business from scratch to become my own "case study" for my students.

Then this little "project" turned into a highly profitable business venture.

I started to notice something weird happening...

Some of my students knew about my new business and started to hit me up about how they could do it to.

And this is never a good sign when my students want me to talk about a completely unrelated business at a real estate investing seminar.  Or maybe it is a good sign because I decided to share this business plan solely on this Aggressive Income on Steroids and Speed method that I sort of stumbled in as a side project.

Little did I know that this side project would not only be incredibly profitable but it also saved me from careening off balance (where bad things could have happened to my financial and business future).

If you're ready for something new and you want something exciting to direct your focus on (which is the start of building confidence which gives you success) then I'd like you to check this out.  CLICK HERE NOW!

And Friday is the last day to get the complimentary ticket to come to my Success & Wealth Retreat in Honolulu, Hawaii on March 4th through (and including) March 9th (2022).

I keep telling people over and over again that there is a CLIFF we're all about to fall off of.

It's an economic cliff.

And if you don't believe me, just rewind back in time to...I don't know.  How about early 2008-ish?

If you recall, most everybody (especially your Sally Housewife and Larry Lunchpail) were all thinking, "Man, do we have a great economy!  And this is likely to last forever!  Yes, let's pay 30% higher on our new house because...well, everybody else is doing it so, why not?!"

Then the fall of 2008 came.

And unless you were in a coma during that time, I think we all remember what happened after that.

Fast forward to today.

It seems that a lot of people are thinking along those same "early 2008" theories about how "everything" is going to be great "forever" as the economy keeps heading in the upward trajectory.

Until it crashes.

Then there will be a bunch of I-told-you-so folks who previously didn't believe anything but the "Roaring 20s" pipedream until the gravy train crash.

Which side of the coin are you on?  Are you the cynic who lives in the reality that things just cannot go up forever without a healthy recession?  Or are you part of the pipedream crowd who thinks we're going to actually skip a recession (for the first time in history) and keep going up and up and up...for many years more?

Our last recession was after the crash of 2008.  And if you're fairly decent at math, you'd know that we're coming up on 13 years since the start of the last recession, which was kicked off in the fall of 2008.  By Halloween 2021, we'll be at exactly 13 years.

And that is a freaking LONG TIME between recessions!  Despite what some may think, that is not good at all!

The economy is supposed to function much like a rubber band: it expands and contracts with relative predictability and consistency.

How's it going?

I was having this discussion the other day with the lady that does my eyebrows.  And somehow the conversation came up about freeloaders.  I think it was because she mentioned that her sister refuses to work or do anything with her life yet she always wonders why she's broke.

I immediately asked her if she was older than her sister and even went so far as to assume that she was the eldest child.  I was right, of course, because it was an uncanny carbon copy of my exact situation with my brother who is younger than I am.  I've always had a "knack" of making money and taking care of myself yet my brother is the eternal excuse-maker, bitcher, and professional moaner with a piss-poor and sickening "poor me" attitude that can make anyone lose all faith in humanity within precisely 37 seconds of listening to it.

There's always that "nature vs. nurture" argument where you can take, in some cases, fraternal twins who grew up in the exact same household yet one turns into a mass murderer and the other grows a multi-billion dollar per annual business.  And there is no explanation for it.

Is it your environment?  Or is it genetics?

I have a deeper explanation for it which goes into something deeper that I don't think I want to get into right now.  The short version of my theory is that we all have unique personalities which some may call our "soul" which differs drastically, even if we have an identical twin with the exact same genetic make-up who we grew up with in the exact same household/environment with.

So, what does this have to do with anything?

Easy.  It's very simple to become successful.  You simply get off your ass and set out with an exact, precise treasure map to get there.

And you have to want it.  Badly.  It's what Napoleon Hill refers to as having a "burning desire."  You gotta have that if you're going to be successful.  No exceptions!

Nobody can teach you to "desire" success.  The good news for you is that, chances are, because you're one of my faithful students reading this email, you've already got that burning desire and ability to "hustle" until you become successful.  So, unlike my lazy excuse-making broker or Angie's pitiful freeloading sister who can't, under the best of odds, be convinced to get off their ass and do something...you're way beyond that if you're reading this.

Back to the treasure map...

When my daughter was much younger, I found myself unfortunately stuck watching the cartoon Dora the Explorer quite often.  If you're not familiar with the kiddie show then good for you!  If you are...I'm sorry.

Every episode of Dora the Explorer has to do with her going on some type of adventure involving a map.  The map is devised of three things.  Each "thing" is a landmark of some kind that she has to visit in a precise order in order to make it to the end of her superficial maze to accomplish whatever shallow goal the hapless writers of the TV show had devised for her.

So, after Dora's backpack spits out her map with her directions on what she's supposed to do, she sets off to follow the map, working to avoid danger along the way.  Danger is this fox called Swiper who tries ripping her off or doing demonic things like taking her tools to get through her adventure and whipping them off into the forest, or some other such nonsense just to screw her over.

When I watched the show with my daughter, I started putting some things together about the characteristics of the average human being.

First of all, most paths to success are pretty simple.  Not exactly only 3 items to get there but pretty damn close.  Yes, there are always thousands of details in any endeavor but, really, aren't there only a few "large" things that are in a set of directions?

For example, if I were to tell you how to get involved in apartment building investing, I could literally give you three basic steps to pull it off:

1)  Do a financial assessment on yourself; determine your down payment and funding options.

2)  Find a cash flowing property using my CFE (Cash Flow Evaluator)

3)  Put in an offer on the property and see what happens.

Of course, there are more steps.  There's the acceptance of the offer (or rejection, in which case you go out and repeat steps 2 and 3) and then going into "contracts" then escrow then closing on the property.  Then once you close, you set up your management then cash flow away!

Still, if you add up all the steps, you're at around seven.  But that's not too overwhelming, is it?

Everything is like this.  Absolutely everything!

There are steps to become successful in the Money Funnel Business.  Here are three steps for you:

1) Choose a "wheelhouse" to specialize in (there are only a handful that make a lot of money)
2) Set up a functional money funnel for people to buy your products including having OTOs (one-time offers that are upsells)
3) Drive traffic to your website to start making money!

Yes, it's really THAT SIMPLE!

So why are so many people not doing these simple steps to find success in whatever type of business they have an interest in?

I think it's because they believe there's much more too it.  They believe that success is difficult and way out of their reach.

I can tell you, from massive amounts of experience in both business and in investing that success is very easy to attain but there's a catch.  You have to get off your ass and follow some simple type of Dora map and move along the map to go get it.

Plus, the map has to be followed in an exact order.  You can't change the order of things otherwise you'll find yourself unsuccessful.

I have something pretty powerful that is in an EXACT set of THREE STEPS.

CLICK HERE to watch a video and I'll tell you what those THREE STEPS are and how they can completely transform your finances forever!

One of my biggest student "pet peeve" questions I get is this one:

"What should I do -- what should I invest in -- to make fast money?"

My answer?

"I don't know!  How the hell should I know what you should do?"  I know what I want to do and what interests ME...but I know NONE of those things about anybody else.

It's this lack of responsibility of taking life by the horns and making decisions that really gets under my skin.

And it's only going to get worse with our next generation.

I think everybody who knows me knows that I have a 12-year-old daughter.  I'm pretty strict on her and I expect her to maintain a much greater level of responsibility than most people would for a 12-year-old.

Why do I do this?

Because in order for you to be "great" at anything, you only have to be 10% better than everyone else.

Considering the sea of near-deadbeats that are coming up through grade school, junior high and high school right now...even taking responsibility to be on time to school is 10% greater than what most kids would attempt to do on their own.

Pretty sad.

Unfortunately, my generation -- the Gen Xers -- are teaching Gen Ys some pretty freakin' bad habits that will ultimately bite them in the ass one day.  Some of these Gen Xers think that being "more relaxed" and "laid back" with their kids (than their parents obviously were with them) is better somehow.

Well...better in the sense that if they want a pot-smoking video-game-playing loser dwelling in their basement at the age of 53, then I guess these Gen Xers are on the right path.

Except I don't want that with my daughter.

My parents were hippies from the 60s.  I grew up as a vegetarian with a religion called Kriya Yoga.  They wanted to be so far from "status quo" as possible that it's surprising I have any bearings in the world of capitalism.  (I guess a cat always lands on her feet!)

I think the only thing that gave me a radar for entrepreneurialism was my dad who always kept hustling.  He was always a small business owner, did fairly well for a middle-class breadwinner, and was always working.

And that's exactly what my daughter gets to see.

Just yesterday she said, "Mom, thank you for working so hard for me."

Yes!  It's sinking in!!

The best thing about all of these little things I have her do is not that she does them perfectly each time (because she does) but that she understands a sense of responsibility and commitment to "processes" in general.

I feel like most people have difficulty in finding their way through life financially (and in many other ways).  You can't blame your parents...even if it's really their fault.  You now have to take responsibility yourself.  Time to put your big kid pants on and grow up.

Just like I teach my daughter the psychology behind taking care of herself, I teach my students the exact same valuable lessons they can immediately use to change their lives.

Your only "hump" to get over is your mind and whether you'll pull the trigger (or not).  That's the part I cannot do for you.  All I can do is give you the strategies and techniques in the most precise step-by-step fashion and it's up to you to follow it.

As you know, I've recently finished my Key West Retreat where I did a two-day Money Funnel Traffic Workshop that was pretty powerful.

And now I'm doing something else that's EVEN MORE POWERFUL AND PROFITABLE than that!

It's amazing what you discover as you trek along in this journey we call a "lifetime on earth." While most of this journey can seem frustrating, once you get the hang of a couple of "secret techniques" to alter your future, you can understand how to maneuver a better life experience for yourself.

One of the most powerful strategies I've learned...then learned again recently is the power of letting go.

Many of you know that I went through a painful divorce years.  It was not a marriage I wanted to let go of at all.  In fact, it's the only divorce that I didn't want.  But I felt that I had to get out of the situation before it consumed me emotionally.  So, off to divorce court I went.

And it was the fastest divorce I ever had.  Six months went by like a long weekend at the beach.

Then it was over.  Just like that.  And I thought that I'd feel better.

Except I didn't.  I felt the same sense of sadness that I had felt all along.

(Hey, I know I'm an expert when it comes to making money but I'm still working on mastering this relationship thing.  We all have sh** we need to learn...otherwise, why are we still here?)

Then I realized something.  And this something didn't make me happy either.

You see, I realized that I was the problem all along.  I was creating obstacles that weren't there.  I was seeing things the way I wanted to see them.  And it was easy for me to point the finger at everyone else analyzing what was wrong with their decisions (or lack thereof) but I never stopped to look at myself and how I was the problem.

Now, let me outline something magical that happened the moment I was able to just throw in the towel and let it all go.

Yes, that's right.  I literally threw in the towel.  I gave up on the marriage.  I gave up on the business we had together.  I walked away from all of it.  In my mind, it was time to move on.

The moment I truly let it all go was the moment that everything started working out.  The obstacles and walls I created in the situation suddenly dissolved.  Instead of me being a part of swimming in a muddy pond where I couldn't see what was going on as I was helplessly thrashing about, I suddenly became someone that was looking over the situation as if I was in a tree overhead with no emotional attachment or confusion about the situation.  I saw everything completely clearly for the first time in almost 4 years.

And when you can see a situation as if you're just someone observing, two critical things happen:

1)  You find immediate solutions that you failed to see before.

2)  Since you're not emotionally intertwined in the situation, your obstacles begin to melt away immediately.

When you get "on top" of a situation rather than being distraughtly intertwined in the problem/issue, everything changes.  And it changes instantly.

Unfortunately, moving from the perspective of being "in" the problem vs. "on top" of the problem is purely a mental shift that sometimes takes years to occur.

But it doesn't have to.

I did one single thing to make this shift that I could have done in a day instead of waiting for it to "happen" over the course of almost 4 years.

What was that "single thing"?

No, it wasn't just letting go...although that was part of it.

The single thing was taking a step back.  That's right.  I took a huge step back.  (Of course, you have to let go of the emotional attachment of the situation by not caring what happens anymore in order to effectively step back.)

Taking a step back requires you to take a mental and emotional "vacation."  This can mean going up into the mountains or taking a trip to the beach, even for a day.  Commit to not thinking about the "problem/issue" you have at hand and focus only on yourself, how you'd like your life to be like, and how you'd like to feel.  Or just try to think about nothing.  That's even better.  (And the best option: throw in the towel and then take time off.)

Once you return back to your life, you will probably see the situation from a different perspective.  Especially if you decided to walk away from it...and throw in the towel.  This disconnects you from the emotional involvement and opens your world up to new possibilities.

So, back to me being the problem:  I was the entire problem.  I was holding onto emotions that only became a part of my reality because I told myself they had to be part of my reality. It didn't help that other people told me that I should be feeling a certain way about my situation which when, coincidentally, I was fine with until people flooded me with their useless opinions.

Disappointment, stress, anger, anxiety and depression come from one thing and one thing only: your reality doesn't match what you think your reality should be.  However, if you believed that your reality matches what you think your reality should be, that means you're happy and content.

My problem was that my reality wasn't matching what I though my reality should be (i.e. my husband should live in the same household as me vs. living in another state) when, at an earlier time, I was completely fine with it.  I allowed a number of people to convince me that my marriage was "wrong" and "abnormal" which shifted my thoughts about it, thus making me unhappy based on my reality not matching my altered view of what I thought my reality should be.

It took me filing for divorce, going through the painful process, and having the divorce finalized for me to understand that I was the problem.

And then I was reminded of the power of letting go.  Once I threw in the towel on everything, I was instantly put "on top" of the situation (without any emotional attachment) and not only have a renewed energy toward everything but I also was flooded with new solutions to me dilemma.

But most powerful of all, blocks that were actually there that I had no control over suddenly melted away.  Things I could not get to work, things I could not get people to agree to, and different solutions I tried putting in place without success suddenly worked like gangbusters! Like magic!!

When you push too hard in any direction, especially to the point of excessive frustration and tears, you will have a hell of a time making anything work and you won't keep your sanity either.  It also means that something is wrong or that the timing is off.

And it means you need to take a step back, relax, and let it go.

When you do, magic will happen in ways that you'll never imagine.  Not only will you have this sense of peace beyond anything you've ever experienced but all the obstacles that were there will suddenly melt away or you'll be shown the true path you were supposed to be on all along.

And that's the secret I wanted to share.

I have my 5-week online Manifestation Mentorship Group starting tomorrow.  This is some of the stuff I'll be helping you with in your own life and I'll be by your side during the entire 5-week process in changing your own personal life INCLUDING WEALTH MANIFESTATION with these powerful strategies that took me a lifetime to learn.

I continue to remain in awe at the changes that are quickly unfolding almost daily; these changes span between economic and spiritual on a worldwide level.  It's both scary and revitalizing.  If you understand what's going on, you can use it as a tool to become wealthy while elevating yourself to a new spiritual level all at once.  Now is the time for you to decide that you want to do something with all of this...or ignore it and live life as "business as usual."  Unfortunately, in a couple of years from now, you'll wake up and realize there's nothing "as usual" about the world at all and...double-unfortunately, you'll have missed out by then.  My job is to bring these changes to you as they come so you can take advantage of them.

So, let's get down to business...shall we?

The economic changes that are being thrown in my direction everyday is happening at such a break-neck speed that it's like being in a 3-D OmniMax Theater wizzing through the colorful universe at 10,000 miles per hour.

The Mayan Indians could have been right about the world ending last year.  I think what really happened was that the world as we knew it ended in December 2012.

And thank God!

I read somewhere years ago (and I don't remember what exactly I read or where) about how the "end of the world" was really an end of a phase.  All ends mean new beginnings.

And that's what I'm excited about.

So what "ended" exactly?

The never-ending phase of shysters, snake oil salesmen, and shifty-eyed cons have lost footing.  Now they're all sliding down a mountain, preparing for their rapid demise.

  • Can you imagine a country with an honest lawyer who really wants to help you and your cause/fight (rather than helping their bank account get bigger)?  Can you imagine an end to frivolous lawsuits like the McDonald's hot pickle debacle where people use big companies as a selfish means of cha-ching for themselves?
  • Can you imagine living in a world where doctors want to see you get healthy, especially using well-intended (and possibly "alternative") medicines in an effort for you to have optimal health rather than pushing Big Pharma drugs that, in the long term, could hurt you?
  • Can you imagine living in a place that matches the picturesque way of what we wanted to pretend we were in the 1950s...yet we really become that wholesome, honorable, respectable, and innocent as we wished we were at that time?

I know it's hard to imagine now, especially with everything happening in the news which seems like a daily horror show.

Yet now...everything is seemingly coming apart at the seams.  You're probably wondering why there's so much disastrous news.

Sometimes you have to pull everything apart, creating a mess, before you can put everything in some kind of perfect order.  I think that's what's happening in the universe right now.

Over the years of mentoring and teaching students, I've found that many of them want to skip over the spiritual aspects of creating wealth and just get to the creating wealth part.  Yet many do not realize that the spiritual aspects are just as important as the action steps needed in the wealth-building process.

It's like baking a cake.

If you have to choose between two cake-baking necessities -- ingredients or the oven -- which would you choose?

Well, let's see...

If you have 100% of the ingredients to bake a cake but no oven, you'll have no cake in the end.

If you have an oven and no cake ingredients, you'll still have no cake.

The success action steps would be like having the cake ingredients with the full instructions on how the "process" of making your cake goes.

The oven is the "unseen" spiritual part of the success process that "heats" things up and actually makes the process work.

Again, as you can see, both are required if you're going to become a multi-millionaire.

Since you know this, why skip the spiritual part?  Do you feel like it's a waste of time?  Does it "trip you up" because you don't quite understand the mechanics of it?

One of the things I've been getting a huge amount of emails about is this basic premise from my students:

"I'm doing all the steps to invest and build a business yet I feel like I'm beating my head against the wall because nothing is happening for me."

And there's a reason for that.

It's not enough to have the knowledge, create the action plan, and do the steps.  It's like having the ingredients but no oven to bake with.

And we both know that, in the end, you won't get your "cake" that way.

With so much going on in the universe, things are changing at a warp speed.  The good news is that, unlike the old days when it took lengthy periods of time to "move" the universe in your direction, now things are happening in mere days and sometimes in mere hours.

But you have to know what you want, you have to know the order in which all the "things" that are needed for your want have to occur, and you have to be focused in a specific process to make that happen.

Last year I did a multi-day email blast series that thousands of you were instantly drawn to and wanted to know more about.

Here we are more than 8 months later and I've been finally able to put all the details down on paper for you.

I want you to watch this mind-blowing video that can tell you exactly how to change your life and get what you want in ways that no one...and I mean no one...has ever told you about before.

CLICK HERE to watch the video right now!

I think you'll start to understand: (1) why things haven't been "working out" in your life as planned lately, and most importantly (2) exactly what you need to be doing to finally catapult yourself into the successful dream-like life that you've always been after.

A few weeks ago I was walking through Home Depot in the gardening section and I saw this fountain that I just had to have.  It fits into all the feng shui "rules" and it was just so lovely that I had to get it.  And what do you know...they had only one left in stock which had my name on it.

I got rid of my other fountain in my prosperity corner at home and I set up this new fountain. Click here if you want to take a look at this exact fountain that Home Depot has that I set up in my prosperity corner at home.


Then I got a new money tree for that corner.  It's very small, like those ones that you see in the front area of the grocery store by the floral department.  Usually they're in a dish-looking thing with permanently glued-in pebbles.

Once I set up the fountain, I did notice an instant change in energy in the mere fact that it made me much happier.  (It's a nice-size fountain so it really makes a presence.)  Then, in the days that followed, our business really started to explode.  I had a whole new slew of money-making opportunities that pretty much dropped into my lap while automatically coming up with a flow of new ideas that I never thought about before.

Many of my students know how much I believe in the power of feng shui and how altering the energy in your house can make some substantial positive changes in your personal and business life virtually instantly.  And many of you know of my story about how -- more than a dozen years ago -- I went bankrupt and had to start over from scratch with nothing...and how my life completely changed from bankrupt and deeply in debt to back to multi-millionaire status...and in about 6 months!

Yes, you heard that correctly.  It took about 6 months.

I started the entire process with this book called Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life by Karen Rauch Carter.  I'll admit that I only focused on the prosperity corner of my house. And all I did was clean out my closet (which was in the prosperity corner, put some purple construction paper in there, and made my own treasure chest (to represent prosperity) out of a small chest from a craft store that I painted purple and added a bunch of fake jewels to.  (I still have that same treasure chest in my prosperity corner.)

Everything changed after that.  I went from bankrupt (as I indicated before) to building a house after claiming my multi-millionaire status...again.  And in about 6 months.

Now, was it just the feng shui that was responsible for the success?

No.  Not entirely.  I did work at my success plan, although not particularly hard.

The feng shui part makes things easy, like greased lightning.  It drops the success in your lap without much effort, gives you more ideas about attaining wealth, and makes everything super easy to do.

You tell me, which would you rather experience?

Walking through mud tied to a two-ton log, gaining almost no distance in life until you pass out or just give up?

Or having someone give you cloud-like "magical" pair of flying running shoes where all you have to do is stand up and start leaning forward then you'll start flying through life with barely any effort on your part, getting everything you ever wanted without a hitch?  (Yes, you did have to "stand up" and "lean forward" which implies some effort from you.)

So, when I mentioned my change of energy, I forgot to include the other things I did to make this happen (which was setting up the fountain and including a new money tree in my prosperity corner).

Think this is all New Age-ey clap-trap?  Fine.  Then stay broke.

The only reason I implemented any of these feng shui strategies was because I was in a situation of desperation and, maybe like you, I didn't believe in any of it until I saw first hand the power of changing your environment which changes the energy which ultimately changes everything!

Now, let's get to the part that I was talking about where you have to stand up and start leaning forward...

If you want to have ANY kind of success and wealth in your life, there's ONE critical thing you must do FIRST!
 

And if you're wondering what the hell that one thing is, I suggest you click here to get the gist of it. 
 

This is the part where you can choose to stand up and start to lean forward...and finally get the things in your life you've always wanted WITHOUT constantly sabotaging yourself.  CLICK HERE to watch a powerful video that I shot just for you!

See you at the top!
