“I went to a studio to do some recording a few months ago. The sound effect was terrific, but the cost is very expensive. I did not feel right to pass the cost to my students and clients with expensive tapes, although the information would set them free from their problems. I tried to cut the cost so that the majority of the public can benefit from my Feng Shui tips. I did my first taping session for my seminar by myself in my office. I did my own recording and editing. It cost me a lot less than the studio. It is really easy to do. The students that have come to my seminars love my tapes. My heart smiles when I received their feed back and informed me that I have transformed and changed their lives in a short time by following my Feng Shui tips. It has made me feel it has been all worthwhile by getting out of the comfort zone to do something for my life and others. ”--Kwai C - Total Gain: $5,746,057
“I purchased a business worth $1,300,000 with no money down. It's a going concern and have increased revenues by 35% in the first 3 years.”--Real S & Kevin S - Total Gain: $4,689,000
“ My journey has allowed me to grow and give of myself to others along the way!! My wonderful partner and husband Denis read some Robert Allen books and always wanted to own some rentals. I kept saying "I don't want to clean toilets etc…" He was gentle and kept bringing it up now and again. We did a few successful retail flips commencing in October of 2003. We decided to step it up and attended our first evening through RAI in Mesa in January of 2005 after seeing an infomercial very late at night(they do work). We bought the 3 day for $5,000, had a great 3 days, took it all in, did an assignment within one week, purchased a pre-foreclosure and did some retail flips and held a few rentals (yes I was cleaning toilets). In May/2005 we attended another one day through RAI and bought the Field Training which I attended in October 2005. I was determined to make my education costs back and I did. We purchased more Real Estate. I received an email from EWI to attend a Wealth Retreat in May of 2006. I took it all in. I did an interview for an infomercial. It was an awesome 5 days and I became a Mastery student. I called my husband and said "I'm quitting my job" and I reassured him we would be fine. He simply stated "OK." He later told me that he lay in bed that night and was thinking "what have I done? I've created a monster." After all he had introduced me to the idea of Real Estate. I came home and did everything I was instructed to do. I attended 12 Bootcamps and a few seminars in just a little over a year and had my entire family's support (2 fabulous boys and my husband). I have done over 60 SFR's rehabs for myself and my out of state clients. I am involved in various investment products and partnerships. I paid down our personal debt. So, looking forward to another leg of my journey. What a great ride it has been and continues to be… the people, the experiences, the pains, the challenges, etc.....ALL worth every minute if you don't lose sight of WHY you are doing it. We want to spend years with our families enjoying "time and being" with them when we want and for how long we want...that is exactly what financial freedom will afford us. Our charity is giving to the working poor who have very sick children with special needs. We want to be able to give much more. I have a passion for teaching what I am good at and would love to give back to EWI in some teaching capacity in the very near future. Until the next entry. ”--Beatrice B - Total Gain: $1,939,699
“I had bought numerous RE properties since 2003, learned so many strategies through RAI and EWI, put them into action, became a buy and rehab expert if you will, did this successfully for some time and was asked to do it for other people by a previous mentor of mine. I began speaking about this type of program. People bought the program and I started to manage purchases and rehabs for other investors for a fee. I love this and plan on doing this for another 1.5-2 years during this opportunistic time in Real Estate. I am also doing it now for my own clients as well. RE consulting/managing is currently my main business.”--Beatrice B - Total Gain: $1,939,699
“My latest story is one that I seriously feel started some time ago but was planted in Anaheim at the Wealth Retreat. My partner in Real Estate consulting, Alison shared that weekend with me. We had bright RED T-SHIRTS made up just for the retreat as our live business cards. We love to network. We decided that our new company name together would be Portfolio Builderz and that we would offer various opportunities through that company as we had been doing independently of one another as well as together. The name stuck and we were excited at the response to our RED T-SHIRTS. Both of us were Mastery students and had spent much money on education and learning over the last few years. We came to the Wealth Retreat as we felt the need for a boost from some of our mentors on the Schnitter team and pick up the positive energy of the weekend.... During this lending/credit time we were faced with our momentum slowing down to a crawl and we needed to get back on track quickly. We networked like crazy in Anaheim....actually spoke to Robert Allen and Tom Painter on the Wednesday evening after having walked across the stage to pick up our gain awards, that was awesome! We took on the Rich in Six Challenge and told each other that we were going to Tahiti! It was EXACTLY what we needed to get our head of steam back up again. THANK YOU ROBERT ALLEN! We had a business filled weekend of planning and taking action. WE have since dabbled on EBAY and have sold numerous items totaling several hundreds of dollars, actually created and launched our new website, started a new company in Real Estate Consulting and acquired new clients. We have pending offers for our clients again (which will bring in approximately $20,000 this month for our business and twice that for the client in equity and cash out) Because we ended up starting our own Hard Money Division of our Company in order to keep the deal flow going within our control, we have raised at least $100,000 for that and have leads interested as well currently. We had also been involved in yet another Passive Income stream where we actually became General Partners in oil Drilling Partnerships last weekend. We have raised at least $60,000 for that with our goal being $800,000 by November 15th. As you can see we have become very focused and driven and we will plow forward despite the grim media...we have great people who help us in the day to day and they will never go unrecognized. I have begun reinvesting in my own market of Phoenix, AZ and will have placed hundreds of offers on REO's by the end of the week. I am looking to purchase several houses here as well. There is so much to share and so little space. It boils down to the fact that we DID get the boost we needed in Anaheim and there is no stopping now...thank you Robert Allen for laying down the tracks for our locomotive! Our seed is growing into an enormous tree with numerous limbs. My dream of spending more time with my family (they are ALL in Canada) whenever and for however long I desire is within my reach. I can see it so clearly! I am going for it! ”--Beatrice B - Total Gain: $1,939,699
