“In 1996 I was pretty much broke. I had made a million in real estate. I had made a million as a securities stock broker-dealer and was living pretty good. In the early 90s I had investment properties (houses and a multi-units). I had a business that grossed into the mid six figures, then it all came crashing down. Foreclosures, lost business, lost my home, no money, bad credit, problems, problems. I spent a 4 year hiatus with nothing. I went to work for a friend in late 1996 making $1,200 per month. I did that for almost two years out of gratitude and while I planned my plan and then in 1998 I executed the plan with the financial backing of my friend. Looking back GOD got me through it all. He gave me patience, strength and, above all, HOPE and RESILIENCE. In 2001, I came across books by Mark and Bob. They added new insight and my plan was refined. Thanks, thanks, thanks.”--Louis V - Total Gain: $13,332,628
“Thank you Mark & Bob for throwing gasoline into the fire!!! Your continued persistence in diversifying and having multiple streams of income has been a great lesson and, once placed into practice, a wonderful catalyst to more amazing success. I am now a co-founder of Strategic Marketing & Media Corporation [SMM], the fastest growing immediate response advertising agency & ethnic marketing firm in the USA. Revenues for 2007 year end are projected to be between $16-20 million. We are at a fiscal year end pace of $7.5 million in our very first year. Though not a novice to sales and marketing, your input has been helpful and an added boost of ideas. SMM will be launching some Business Coaching & Marketing products as a result of tutelage I have received through the EMI/EWI program. Projections are that this will add an additional $500,000.00 to the bottom line. Lastly, a book on immediate response marketing will be due in 2007 that will further position me and SMM as the experts in sales and marketing to the general and Hispanic market place. ”--Louis V - Total Gain: $13,332,628
“I have always been a positive thinking individual, a big dreamer and a planner. However, after being around Mark Victor Hansen and reading the One Minute Millionaire it was like obtaining permission and rocket fuel to REALLY think big and outside of the Box. I never had given much thought to really establishing several Multiple Streams of Income. Also, because of Bob Allen’s' mantra of "Each of you has a book inside you!!" I wrote the complete outline for 2 books and have created titles for 13 others! The books will ultimately be the tools for my speaking career in addition to my other endeavors in business. ”--Louis V - Total Gain: $13,332,628
“In the middle 1980’s, after graduating from USC I became a stockbroker. I was quite successful but got very burned out and tired of the drag. I was a sales manager of a boutique municipal bond firm in Beverly Hills. I invested money into real estate and a half ownership of a real estate brokerage. I also started a med-legal marketing services company and did quite well. In the early 1990’s I had a meltdown in business, and encountered many legal woes and problems. I received a visit from the SEC and as a result I lost it all: home, business, savings, and investments. In early 1998 with no money, bank credit, and with a terrible/ruined credit, I deployed my marketing idea for a healthcare reimbursement company. The marketing & business plan was good that my then employer decided to be involved on a limited basis. In late 1998, I went out on my own and rented a small cubicle as an office and that was the beginning of what became a successful enterprise that collected money from state programs for hospitals and doctors!!! ”--Louis V - Total Gain: $13,332,628
“I have used so many of the techniques you teach it would be difficult to list them here. I have acquired over $2 million in real estate with $16k being the most that ever came out of my own pocket. That was on one of the four properties, the other three were done with No Money Down using equity from other properties and private parties. I started a distribution business that has passive income and does not require my personal attention once the customer contracts are in place. That business does $6 million/year. My partner and I are launching our first casino next month with the intent to open 10 in the next three years. We will be taking this company public this year. I am producing InfoPrenuer products to be sold on the web. I will be teaching what I have learned through an educational series called The Science of Self-Mentorship. I will be absorbing a lot from the Fred Gleek seminar, Book Expo, and Millionaire Summit to plan this business launch. Philippe Matthews has also been helpful in steering me in these directions. I have re-invested most of my cash flow, other than personal salary, into getting these last two businesses up and running this year.”--Mark D & John R - Total Gain: $11,634,500
