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.

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...

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!

P.P.S. Watch for more encouragement next Friday!

Will you join us in Atlanta?

Hey,

We recently asked the question, “What Would Have to Happen for You to Join Us at our Annual Entrepreneur Days Conference in August?”

Here were some of the answers:

“Move it north so it isn't so far away.”

“A little closer to my home in Seattle, but it sounds like a great conference”

“I need it to be held in St. Louis!”

“Ooh! A conference in Florida would be good!”

“I’ve been following you a long time but haven’t made it there because I live in Germany.”

“A free air ticket from New Zealand”

Well, guess what? It’s in Atlanta this year.

For our Atlanta event, we have guests registered who are coming from Saudi Arabia Washington, California, and Canada.

When opportunity like this where we bring a handful of millionaires who don’t have a problem sharing their secrets and teaching others how they have made their fortunes presents itself to you, look at it differently.

Instead of looking at the distance as a problem, look at it the way our Protégé of the Year for 2006 does.

Mary Jo Tate is a single mom in Tupelo, MS who totally provides for her family while also homeschooling her 4 boys.

Mary Jo has attended all of our conferences except the very first one that was held at my house. She always takes one of her boys to our events and plans an extra day after the event is over to see the local sites. She makes it a field trip and writes it in her school journal.

But more than that, she has dedicated a whole weekend to focusing her attention on just one boy.

How do you think it makes that young man feel? What kind of impact do you think a weekend away with mom will have on that young man’s self esteem?

Think about the memories they have created.

Mary Jo does what I have done for years. I take my teens to the mentors and experiences they need. I don’t wait for them to come to me.

How does Mary Jo do it all?

That’s what she’ll be sharing when she reveals her secrets with our Proteges at our Protégé Day on Thursday, August 23, before the event.

If you want to join us, it’s not too late.

However, the special negotiated rate on hotel rooms expires on Sunday, August 12 so if you are planning to attend but haven’t registered just yet, don’t delay. The rate goes from $89 to $159.

If you have any questions, I would love to answer them for you. Just email and let us know.

See you there!

So many books, so little time…

Rhea!
