Protégé Day Provides Private Product Creation Education
If you want to learn how to create products for the Internet and just don’t know where to begin, here’s your answer.
On Thursday, April 10, the day before our family real estate conference on April 11-13 in Huntsville, Alabama, I’ve invited some of our conference experts to work with my tech team to show you exactly how to do it.
Using the Internet is not hard but there are lessons to learn before you jump in and waste your money. I want to save you the trouble by showing you how to do it in real time with real experts.
Plus, the information you will get from the speakers that day will be life-changing.
But wait! There’s more!
I just had to say that! ;)
You will also get the right to sell the product we create and KEEP ALL THE MONEY!
You don’t have to share it with anyone!
I’ll explain all the details on the phone this Tuesday.
If you are ready for more than just a conference, if you and your family are looking for a community of entrepreneurs who are all headed in the same direction – straight toward financial freedom – then listen to my call this Tuesday night, February 26 at 9 PM Eastern Time.
I’ll also explain the agenda for our Protégé Day and answer all your questions.
The number to call is 218-339-7800
The passcode is 365981#
You can learn more here: http://www.realestatedays.com/
Don’t forget to bring the kids! THIS is real education!
The deadline for the Early Bird registration is midnight, Sunday, March 2.
I’ll talk to you Tuesday!

Learn to the Art of the Short Sale
Last week, we were supposed to interview Donna Bauer about buying and selling mortgage notes but you know how life goes. Things don’t always work out as planned.
So instead, we had Graham Treakle tell his story of how, as a banker, he became involved with buying properties with Short Sales.
If you missed that call, you can listen to it here:

The Value of Apprenticeship
This past Thursday, we completed our Writing for the Web class and are already getting posts thanking us for the cool online education.
Now the folks who watched the Webinars and did their homework have started apprenticing with some web site owners to get some practical hands-on training.
The VA's who took our Virtual Assistant class at the end of last year are now in their second phase of apprenticeship.
They all seem to be loving it!
Plus, they are learning so much from those they are serving.
People often ask me why I expect our students to be involved in an apprenticeship. They question its value and wonder if we are just trying to get some free work out of the newly-trained students.
That’s because this country has forgotten the concept of true education that results from apprenticing with a master or someone who is more knowledgeable about a topic.
In early America, that’s how most of the craftsmen were trained.
That’s the principle behind medical and legal internships.
Mentors can teach a wide variety of topics so don’t limit your scope when looking for great education.
In education, it’s very valuable to have access to someone who knows more about the subject than you do.
In fact, having a mentor cuts your learning curve by years because they can steer you away from the mistakes they’ve made.
So whenever you get the opportunity to participate in an apprenticeship, realize that the good you will get out of it way outweighs the amount of work you have to do for someone that is seemingly “free.”
The experience you get is one thing; but the contacts and association you make with the mentor is often way more valuable than the skill you learn.
Don’t forget, in business, it’s not what you know that counts, it’s who knows you!
So many books, so little time...
Rhea!

Attend a Live Event with Your Teens
People ask me all the time about how we homeschool. They want to know the “secret of success” that not only launched Drew into his career but that creates that bond between a parent and a teen.
Well, here it is in a nutshell:
Do cool stuff with them.
So many moms (with perfectionist mindsets) try to do everything FOR their kids. They give them all the best toys and clothes, sign them up for all the best classes, and expect them to do all their academic lessons perfectly.
I have found that kids often prefer to stay home more and work on lots of messy projects with just mom or dad.
At least that’s what my kids told me when we moved to the country and I finally started listening to them.
Here’s an example.
Drew has just finished building his house about 30 minutes down the road. He recruited three of his brothers, one sister and his dad to help. He also hired contractors for jobs he doesn’t like or doesn't know how to do.
Now he’s ready to start speaking at real estate conferences to teach how he sells houses on eBay. (He’s sold about 50 and is the only teacher I know who is doing what he does.)
So even though he hasn’t been to a conference in a long time, he asked me to go with him to one today.
When your 26-year-old asks you to go somewhere with him, that’s a good thing. So even though I’m already very busy, I’m going.
I consider one-on-one time away from home with a teen or young adult, the same as seeking the privacy of your bedroom to nurse your newborn.
Both have special needs and both will grow out of the stage they’re in way too soon so I cherish that stage while they are there. And I try to meet their needs as quickly and as efficiently as I can.
The problem with attending a professional event is finding one that is family-friendly where teens are welcomed. That’s why my team and I have created the events we host.
The only real estate event we may ever host is coming up this April 11-13, 2008.
If you would like to go on what has been called “the ultimate field trip” with one or two of your teens and learn how to invest in real estate at the same time, consider joining us at our Real Estate Conference in Huntsville, Alabama.
This is real education. They don’t teach this stuff in school but you can write it in your journal.
Just call it Business: Real Estate Investing. It’s worth about ½ to 1 credit.
It could also make you and your teens financially free.
At least you’ll learn how to buy and sell a house and that alone could save you or even make you tens of thousands of dollars.
But here’s the main reason.
The experience you have with whoever you take on that trip will strengthen your relationship. Talk about what you like. Talk about what you don’t like. Talk about the future.
At least talk!
Years from now, you will both look back at that weekend where memories were set in stone and you’ll thank God that you invested the time and effort to work it in to your very busy life.
Besides all that, it could just change your life.
Make sure you say hey to Drew when you get there!
So many books, so little time...
Rhea!

We’re Moving Our Mailing List
You may have gotten a confirmation note from us this week saying you’ll never hear from us again if you don’t click that link.
If you don’t click the link, you really will never hear from us again, so please click it.
Because of the world of spam, legitimate emailers who have large lists of subscribers have an incredibly hard time getting their emails delivered these days.
We first noticed the problem last summer. I was sick in bed for several months and just didn’t stay on top of things to realize our emails weren’t getting through.
So in the fall last year, we decided to move our mailing list from AutoResponse Plus to Aweber. (You should too.)
We also had a list in 1 Shopping Cart but we try not to collect email addresses there because they bill based on the number of subscribers you have. The more you have, the higher your monthly bill. Not good.
Aweber has the strongest ability to deliver mass emails because they require double opt-in and do not offer a trial version that encourages spammers to “hit a list and run.”
So we started moving the list and learned we can only invite 2,000 subscribers per day to opt-in.
Oh brother.
So the moral to this story is, if you are planning to have an Internet-based business, start off with the right email management program in the beginning.
That way you don’t have to change horses in mid-stream.
Aweber has proven over time to be the one to use.

Did you know that companies spend over $13.39 billion every year sponsoring businesses, events, and promotions?
Linda Hollander is a dear friend of mine who trains people to tap into the awesome power of corporate sponsors. With 20 years of business experience, she knows what she is doing.
Her corporate sponsors are companies like Citibank, Fed Ex, Health Net, American Airlines, Bank of America, Staples, Wal-Mart/Sam's Club, Omega World Travel and IBM.
I have been working with her to help me find sponsors for our ongoing projects. So she has recommended that I help some folks get trained.
She will be teaching a 4 week tele-class about Attracting Corporate Sponsorships in February and I want to hire an independent contractor who takes her class.
I need a sponsorship expert and I can’t find one.
This is not a job for the timid. You have to be able to sell and close.
If you are self motivated and are looking for a very lucrative job that you can do from home that offers serious commissions, don’t miss my call with Linda this week.
Linda will be my guest on the phone this Tuesday, February 5 at 9 PM Eastern Time.
The number to call is 605-475-4150
The passcode is 21414#
If you are ready to learn how you can earn huge commissions in this industry, don’t miss this call!

Knowing how to build a web site is as essential today as learning how to type was back when I was in high school during the Dark Ages.

Her 8 week class will cover all the basics and will start in February.
This is a family class so everyone in the house can participate.

It’s a Boy!
You know how antsy an overdue mother-to-be can feel. Well, it’s just as bad for an overdue grandmother-to-be!
My oldest son Drew and his wife Carol waited patiently for the arrival of their first child and he took his time getting here as most babies do!
(I didn’t wait so patiently!)
Elijah Wayne Perry was born last Monday, January 28 at 10 AM. He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz.
Carol had a marvelous water birth with no complications and has been cared for by many, many “moms!”
If you think kids are great, wait till you get grandkids. They are amazing!
So many books, so little time...

Keeping All the Plates Spinning
People ask me all the time, “How do you do all that you do?”
Well, it’s not easy.
It takes organization and I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to sorting stuff.
So here’s what I do.
At night, I write down the next day’s To Do List in my daytimer. That way I don’t worry about them all night.
If something keeps me awake, I turn on the light and enter in the appropriate place to be acted on in my daytimer.
Then the next day, I spend the first part of the day going to God. I talk to God, I praise Him, and thank Him for all He has done, is doing and will do on the earth.
Unless it’s deer season, I walk in the woods with the dog. I spend the early morning listening to the wind in the leaves, the birds in the trees and the voice of God in my heart.
I read my Bible and God gives me more tasks to accomplish.
It doesn’t matter if some tasks are business-related and some concern the family. I put all the appointments, classes, lessons outside the home and conference calls on the schedule.
Then I walk through them one at a time.
I also prioritize them with family first, then business. The Lord may give you several different assignments so don’t frustrate yourself by trying to keep each duty in your life separated into nice neat little categories.
If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, learn to keep all the plates spinning all at the same time.
You can do it! You are created in God’s image. You are a multi-faceted organizational machine!
If you get overwhelmed (and everyone does at times), just pray to God and tell Him you can’t do all this by yourself. If He doesn’t help, you can’t do it.
That’s the grace of God.
So go for it!
And make 2008 the year you watch God change your life.
So many books, so little time...
Rhea!

We’re Getting a Baby!
Carol , my oldest son Drew’s wife, is due to have their first baby this week and I can’t wait!
They’re hoping for a boy but will be happy either way.
My oldest daughter was just here this morning with her 2-month old baby who is starting to coo and smile.
I think babies are so wonderful!
When I look at the face of my granddaughter, I just marvel at this creation that looks so much like her parents. There’s just nothing like it in all the world.
When I was down at the creek a few months ago, the Lord spoke to me
and told me to tell you something.
Basically he said, “When I look at my children, I adore them like a newborn baby.”
Too often, we feel like God doesn’t care about us.
We think He’s “out there somewhere” and we’re just toughing life out here by ourselves.
Well, that’s just not true. It can’t be.
When you look at the whole process of birth, you are experiencing a miracle.
When you look you at the face of a baby, you are glimpsing the work of God.
And that’s how God looks at us. He loves us. He wants the best for us. He wants us to look to Him for everything just like a baby looks to his mother.
If you are in a hard place, realize this.
God really does love you.
He really is taking care of you even though you don’t always feel it.
Look to Him to guide and direct you and to help you find that one single purpose in life that you were put here to fulfill.
And when you find it, you will find contentment in the work of your hands.
And you will know that He loves you.
Just like a brand new baby.
So many books, so little time...
Rhea!

When You Work for Yourself, Learn to Get Your Praise from God
One of the hardest things for me to adjust to when I left the workplace and came home to have more babies was the lack of appreciation.
I know we’re supposed to get our praise from God but it sure helps to hear someone say “thank you” or “you did a great job” every once in awhile.
So when you start a home business, it’s the same story. There are tons of details to take care of and no one seems to notice that you are juggling 15 completely unrelated tasks and accomplishing most of them relatively well and on time.
They only see that one deadline you missed or that one misspelled word that stuck out like a sore thumb.
People don’t take time to reward others these days.
But we should.
We should look for ways to serve others. We should always try to help anyone we can whenever we can.
Our society has become a bit self-centered and it’s easy to lose our perspective to realize that we are all here to serve God and mankind.
Life is not about “us.”
We are not the center of the universe as some of us think. Instead, we are just part of a pre-existing universe.
We really should be content to get our praise from God.
But when we complain, we lose the reward for all the suffering we’ve endured.
So make up your mind that you are going to work to please God and not man. And if someone just happens to praise you, thank them sincerely. And thank God that He sent them.
Doesn’t it feel marvelous!
Now go find someone to praise. Maybe someone will actually do the same for you!
So many books, so little time...

Don’t Just Sit There, Do Something!
“I’ve been reading about having a home business for a week now and I haven’t made any money at all. It must be a scam.”
Well, that’s a slight exaggeration, of course. But here’s the deal.
In the Bible, Paul told the Romans, “It is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.”
Now we know that Paul says later that we are not justified with God by works of the Law but by the grace of God. Jesus died on the cross, took Sin to Hell, and came back to life on the third day so that we can have access to God the Father.
When we accept Jesus and what He did on earth as the son of God, that gives us acceptance with God.
There’s nothing we can “do” to get in good with God. That’s what grace is.
But in this verse lies one key to success.
You just can’t listen and think you’re going to be successful at anything. You have to be engaged.
Purchasing an educational course isn’t enough. You have to open it, read it, try it and keep going when it looks like it isn’t working.
Those who succeed in anything are those who never quit.
They look at problems as challenges and ask themselves how they can solve them.
They don’t let details stop them.
Creating a successful business takes longer than most folks think it will. Most “overnight successes” took years to create.
In America, we have been educated with an employee mindset to think that jobs and money will be handed to us in exchange for a few hours of work.
Developing the mindset of an entrepreneur who no longer exchanges his hours for dollars, but learns to create products, systems, and streams of income, requires a huge learning curve.
And part of the problem is this: nobody ever teaches us this stuff.
So not only are you suffering from lack of education to be able to create and operate a small business, but you also have to overcome the handicap of starting with the wrong mindset.
Not to worry. Whatever God calls you to do, He will equip you to do.
So once you’ve discovered the education you don’t have yet need, get it.
Then don’t just read it. Do it.
Figure out how to make it work for you and your family.
Hey, it took years to get where you are. Making a major change isn’t going to happen overnight.
Most folks go to college for 4 or 5 or even 6 years to get a job making $40k to $100k per year.
If you focus on building your own business, eventually, you can learn how to make that in one day!
Don’t laugh. With the Internet, it’s very possible.
You only fail when you give up and quit.
So decide now, that you are going to do whatever it takes to take back control of your life.
Don’t just listen, take action and don’t quit!
So many books, so little time...
Rhea!

What Are Your Gifts?
As you evaluate the past year and plan for the next, here is something to think about.
Bezalel was a young man who was “filled with the Spirit of God:
*in wisdom and ability
*in understanding and intelligence
*in knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
to:
*devise skillful works,
*work in gold,
*work in silver,
*work in bronze,
*cut stones for settings,
*carve wood,
*work in all kinds of craftsmanship.”
Aholiab was “appointed wisdom and ability to make all that I have commanded you:
*The Tent of Meeting
*The ark of the Testimony
*The mercy seat
*All the furnishings of the tent
*The table of showbread and its utensils
*The pure lamp stand with its utensils
*The altar of incense
*The altar of burnt offering and its utensils
*The laver and its base
*Finely worked garments for Aaron and his sons
*Anointing oil
*Incense of sweet spices for the Holy Place.”
We often think gifts from God are only spiritual or just for use in the church.
Some are.
But I personally believe God gives gifts or specific abilities to everyone.
The wisest man who ever lived (and one of my future Best Friends) said, “…as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, (that’s everyone in America, by the way), He has also empowered him to
A. eat from them
B. receive his reward
C. rejoice in his labor
This is the gift of God.” (Ecclesiastes 5:19)
To me, that means:
1. The God who designed you built specific gifts into you so you can provide for yourself and those you are responsible to care for at the time. (Have you ever noticed how we often end up taking care of those who initially took care of us?)
2. Your gifts bless you with earthly rewards. (After all, everyone works better when there is some kind of prize at the end of the competition.)
3. Using your gift correctly also gives you a good feeling deep inside when you do a job well that helps others.
The problem I see is that generic education often fails to help each of us identify our natural gifts so we can get specific education and become the best we can be doing what comes to us naturally.
Don’t let that stop you from discovering your gifts.
Keep searching and learn to be like Bezalel and Aholiab from Exodus 31 so that you can serve the Lord in the way He designed you to.
Until you discover your gifts, your purpose and your assignment, you can’t help but be continually frustrated. Some men even die in discontentment.
Henry David Thoreau (another one of my future Best Friends) said, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation, and go to the grave with the song still in them.”
Don’t do it.
Find out who you are and get educated so you can incorporate your gift to serve those around you (and God) better.
Decide to make 2008 the year you quit being frustrated.
Live by the words of Sir Winston Churchill: “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”
So many books, so little time...
Rhea!
who hopes you have a wonderful 2008!

Is Christmas Pagan?
So many people dread this time of year.
Maybe it’s because they are expected to spend money they don’t have on gifts others don’t need or want.
We have become a rich society with high standards, yet many of us still can’t afford to pay the power bill!
Here’s another thing. All this celebrating is getting more and more commercial every year.
What’s worse, the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, really wasn’t his birthday in the first place. Originally, it was a pagan holiday.
So, many people believe we shouldn’t celebrate Christmas at all.
And then there’s the thing about bringing the evergreen into our houses like it says not to do in the Old Testament.
So lots of families have ditched the tree.
What’s a well-meaning family to do?
Here’s what I think.
Yes, the world has commercialized Christmas.
Yes, Jesus wasn’t born on December 25.
Yes, it was a pagan holiday.
Yes, we aren’t supposed to bring evergreens into our houses to worship.
But consider this.
The most powerful, successful country that has ever existed on the face of the planet focuses on one day of the year as its main holiday.
Our country certainly isn’t doing a lot of things right. But the fact that Jesus’ birthday is the highlight of the year should encourage you.
And giving gifts to others does remind us that we certainly DO have a lot to be thankful for because in all of our perceived “poverty,” we really have a lot.
So whether you celebrate Christmas or not, when you experience despair over the state of our nation, remember that not only is Jesus happy that we acknowledge Him, but He’s also on the Throne.
So many books, so little time...

If Moses Delegated, So Should You!
Or
2 Reasons to Quit Being a Control Freak
Have you ever felt that you were led by God (or your boss at work … or your spouse) to do a good thing but before long, you felt like the burden was just too great to bear?
I have.
You know you’re doing something that is very necessary and you know others are counting on you, but you find yourself thinking way too often, “It’s too much to handle.”
Well, if that’s where you are, you are in good company. Moses found himself in the same situation.
God told him to judge the actions of the Israelites so he did. Every day, he would sit to judge the people from “morning until night” and tell them if what they were doing was right or wrong according to God’s ways. They were all dependent on him.
(And Moses was in training for reigning in heaven.)
Then his father-in-law Jethro came along one day and said, “What are you doing? You are going to wear out yourself and wear out the people (They are going to get tired of you.)”
So Jethro said, “Represent the people before God and bring their cases before Him. Also,
teach the people the decrees and laws show them the way they must walk show them the work they must do “Choose able men, God-fearing men of truth who hate unjust gain and place them over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens to be their rulers. And let them judge the people at all times.”
So he did.
Now, let’s look at this situation.
* Moses took his assignment seriously and didn’t even consider asking anyone else to help.
Ever done that?
* The people didn’t know the law and weren’t trained to do their jobs because they looked to Moses for all leadership.
Ever done it all yourself because it was “easier”?
* Even though Moses was God’s man at the time, his father-in-law had vision for his life that he didn’t have.
Ever been blind about matters in your own life even though it’s easy to see what others should do?
* When the judges started helping Moses, more than likely they felt the sense of purpose that comes when a person contributes to an important project.
Ever been guilty of robbing others of that inner satisfaction because you didn’t let them help?
Think about how these concepts could apply in your situation with your children or with the people you work with or in other organizations.
Too often, we perfectionists carry all the burdens of a project we believe we have been given from God and try do it all ourselves. When others ask if they can help, we say, “No, we’re good.”
We don’t realize that, like Moses, we will wear ourselves out doing good works while robbing others of the blessing and satisfaction that comes with contributing to an important project.
Our purpose as leaders or parents then is to train those around us to do their part so they can help with the larger project, not just do it all ourselves.
Our goal is to create a light in the eyes of those we are responsible to train.
When you see the light that comes from a deep inner satisfaction in someone you’ve invested in by training, you have succeeded. You have done your job. You have accomplished the main goal.
So, work to create light in the eyes of others.
You might just discover that someone else can do that job just as well … or maybe even better…than you!
And you won’t go to bed as tired anymore.
So many books, so little time...
Rhea!

More Encouragement is Coming!
As I look back over 2007 and think about what my family has accomplished in this year, I am amazed at how God has worked in our lives.
My daughter had a baby. My daughter-in-law is due in January.
My kids are building a house together with Drew.
God has put me smack dab in the middle of the Internet millionaires, the very guys who are directly the small business side of the Internet.
And most of them create their wealth in their spare bedrooms!
Personally, I think that is the way it should be! I think God intended for the home to be the center of everything – hospitality, church, and civic activities.
Good government starts at home. Good business should too.
If you are stuck in a rut, analyze your life and ask yourself what you could be doing differently.
If things aren’t like you’d like for them to be, give your discontentment to the Lord.
Tell him you aren’t content. Ask Him to put contentment inside of you. Once it’s there, decide you will do what you have to do to change your circumstances so that you can live life abundantly instead.
It’s okay to have more than enough to get by. It’s okay to bless others out of your abundance.
Have faith that God is for you, not against you. And have faith that your life CAN change. God will do His part; and you have to do yours. Ask Him what it is.
Watch for an email from me next Wednesday that will tell you more about 2007. It’s been an amazing year!
So many books, so little time...

Looking for Vision for Your Life?
It’s amazing to me that in a society as educated as ours, we don’t help our young people figure out who they want to be when they grow up.
Schools don’t always offer true career guidance.
And you know what? I think that’s probably a good thing. Here’s why.
Guidance is a spiritual thing. God created you for a particular reason. The duty of parents is to help kids discover what it is for them. The problem is, most parents don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. So our country is full of the blind leading the blind.
We need men and women of understanding to shine some light here. Being a person of understanding means you understand how something works. That’s it!
Well, if you could use a dose of vision for your life, consider joining the families in our Protégé program who are discovering new areas of home business they never knew existed!
This Monday night, I want to introduce you to four families who are about to see the power of God change their entire direction!

Keep Going!
Do you ever feel like you’re trying to do good, trying to provide well for your family and nothing seems to go right?
In fact, not only does everything not go right, it seems like everyone is against you?
Do you feel like even God is not listening?
Well, guess what?
The same thing happened to Moses. He basically told God, “Why have you dealt evil to this people? Why did you ever send me to help them?”
So many times, it seems like the good work we do doesn’t accomplish what we expect. It could be that like Moses, there is a bigger story happening and we don’t see the whole picture.
It could be that God is trying to show us His power so that after we’ve gone through the trial, we will not just know who He is but we’ll know HIM.
God responded to Moses by saying, “Watch what I’m going to do with Pharaoh. Not only is he going to let the people go, but he’s going to drive them out of the land.”
Then God told Moses to tell the people, “I will bring you out from under the burden of the Egyptians, I will set you free, and I will be a God to you.”
But they didn’t believe it because of their “impatience, anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.”
If you are in a place where you are starting to doubt that any good thing could ever happen to you, realize where you are. You may have been under too much stress for too long and feel like you are starting to unravel at the seams.
You, too, could be affected by “impatience, anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.”
But God has put you where you are. It could be that He is about to show Himself to you in a very powerful way, just as He did the Israelites.
So don’t give up. In fact, never give up, especially on God.
Even though times are hard, they could be harder. Even though people around you seem merciless, they could be worse. Even though you may feel like you are in cruel bondage, you still have your freedom.
Ask God to give you insight about your situation from His perspective. Ask Him to show you what He is doing in your life and to make Himself real to you. Ask Him to keep you from becoming bitter about life so that you don’t lose your joy like the guys in Exodus 6 did.
Keep going. Make a list of all your blessings. And never give up hope that God loves you and put you right where you are to do something!
Go find it!
So many books, so little time...

Writing for the Web Class
This past Tuesday, I announced a class we will be offering in January and February, 2008 to teach writers and editors how to write for the web.
For years, I have needed help putting together all the emails, articles and press releases for our events, classes and mentoring programs but haven’t had anyone trained in each one of those areas to do it.
We also need to produce ebooks to tell all the marvelous stories that are resulting from this move of God that is sweeping across the country where families are going back to working from home.
So that class will begin in January. Deadline to register is midnight, Sunday, December 30.

Our Philosophy of Home Schooling
I started homeschooling my 7 children in 1987 and decided to fill their lives with practical "real world" education.
My oldest son Drew wasn’t the most academic kid on the block, but when he was just 18, he became a real estate investor.
By the time he was 21, he replaced his dad’s income so his dad could come home from corporate America and care for his elderly father.
Drew figured out a very cool way to sell houses on eBay in just 7 days while getting the price he wanted so now he now teaches real estate investors how to sell houses on eBay and has become a popular speaker at real estate investment seminars.
When I told my Yahoo! Group about it, 100 people came to my house for a one-day workshop. Four flew! The next year it happened again!
That’s how we found ourselves in the middle of hosting an annual international home business conference where families learn how to become financially free together.
That conference has also expanded to educational courses and mentoring.
So, until Midnight, Sunday, December 30th, you can get 20 years’ worth of the lessons we’ve learned the hard way in 3 e-books for less than the price of one! Just $9.97!
After that, we’re going to offer them separately and for much more.
Titles Are:
* "Educating for Success: Developing the Mindset of an Entrepreneur"
* "10 Things This Mama Taught Her Kids about Having Their Own Businesses"
* "How to Start a Business with Nothing but an Email Address"

Accounting Education
One of the dads I am working with who is an accountant has just created a wonderful new resource for small business owners who need help with the financial side of their business.
Not everyone can get a degree in accounting before they begin a business, so Darrel Hawes of Washington has developed an interactive site where you can log on to his forum and ask ANYTHING you want about your finances.
In other words, he is making his knowledge and expertise available for the members of his online small business community. Is that amazing or what?
For a limited time, he is opening his site to charter members.

Grief Support
One of the Moms I am working with, who is a former Hospice worker and social worker, has a heart for helping those who are suffering from grief.
No matter what the cause of the grief is, we all need to learn how to deal constructively with emotional pain.
Pam Clark, a homeschooling mom of five from Colorado, shares her story, her heart and her compassion with the members of her site. She wants to help others step through the grief that is inevitable on this earth.

If you know anyone who is hurting for any reason, you are welcome to mention this ministry to them.

Drew’s Smashed Car Story
You can only imagine what life is like with Drew around. Well, this week, he almost sold a smashed car that’s been sitting in the front pasture since his friend wrecked it about three years ago.
He put the auction on… where else?
eBay.
The winning bidder drove three hours from Mississippi to our place, the Backside of Nowhere in Southern Tennessee, to pick up this car.
The winning bidder, Dennis, buys wrecks, fixes them, and then resells them. Well, they had poured gas into the carburetor to start it so just as we were loading the car onto the car dolly, the car caught on fire!
Well, Dennis said, "I don’t think I want that car after all," and left.
So if anyone is interested in a slightly burned, smashed, low mileage Honda Civic, let me know.
Oh, and go read the auction copy before it expires. It’s a riot!
Just go to eBay.com, log in, search for Seller – DrewTheWildMan, then check his completed auctions.
Boys!

For years I have been helping families focus on working their way home from corporate America as my son and I helped our dad, Wendell.
It doesn’t happen quickly so if that is your desire, pray and decide to get started.Something is happening in this country.
I don’t think it’s good.
During the Depression, those who had cash in the bank not only survived but thrived when everyone else was jumping out of windows.
I personally believe that those who are prepared financially when hard times arise soon will shoulder the storm better than those who are not.
I am dedicated to helping families enter into the freedom that my family has discovered.
There is more than just having a job.There is more than living paycheck-to-paycheck and focusing on paying the power bill.
If you are sick and tired of being poor and powerless, then make up your mind today that you aren’t going to be content with "not enough" any more.
Decide today that you are going to Do Something to change your life.
Join us, along with others who have decided to change the world!
As we say here in the South, "Come go with us!"
So many books, so little time...
