Robert Kiyosaki says the four most important business skills an entrepreneur must have are:
*Sales
*Investing
*Leadership
*Accounting
His Rich Dad taught him, “If an entrepreneur is struggling, it is often because he is weak in one or more of these business skills.”
So why are these skills not part of a standard high school scope and sequence?
More important than that, how can we get the right type of education to become proficient in these skills whether we're in high school or not?
Well, my answer is “learn it by doing it.”
Sales
To get experience in sales, sell something.
Affiliate marketing is the easiest way to learn how to make online sales.
Sites with affiliate programs have already done the market research and the search engine optimization for you.
They have suffered through the product creation process.
All you have to do is put your affiliate link out to folks who want what the site offers.
Investing
To get experience in investing, take a course or find a mentor before you jump in. If you don’t, you could and probably will quickly lose your shirt.
You’ve heard stories about your neighbor’s brother’s friend who had a cousin who lost his life’s savings in the stock market a year ago, right?
Well those stories come from novices who wake up with a great idea one morning and decide they are going to jump into the deep end of the investing world’s swimming pool when they haven’t learned how to put their face in the water in the shallow end.
They are an accident waiting to happen.
And “stock market investing” in general gets the blame.
Bottom line: get educated first.
Leadership
To get experience in leadership, get involved in a group that is going somewhere. Then watch what the leader does and copy what he or she does that works.
Start your own group and go somewhere.
But here’s the biggest pitfall to small business that I see.
Accounting
To get experience in accounting, you have to have a business in place or work with someone who does.
But somewhere during those early years when we were getting that foundational education, somebody forgot to include basic accounting as a requirement for living a successful life.
I personally think the reason why April 15 is the most dreaded day on the calendar is because most of us haven’t been taught how to keep track of our personal finances.
Employees don’t have many options, but small business owners don’t have any choice.
Keeping track of your business’ accounting can become a nightmare when you don’t know what you’re doing.
And then as soon as you think you have figured it out, the IRS changes the rules!
Yes, we’re also lazy and busy and unorganized… but this isn’t an elective.
Uncle Sam expects an account for the year and if he doesn’t think you got it right, he can send his auditors to make your life miserable.
So I personally think that in order to be truly “educated,” you have to understand basic accounting.
If you have a bookkeeper or an accountant, that’s fine! But if you could read their language, you could ensure their accuracy and know they aren’t taking advantage of you.
Tiger Woods went to college to study business and accounting. From the beginning, he planned to be a professional golfer. But his dad encouraged him to get his degree in accounting so he could communicate with and keep an intelligent eye on his bookkeepers.
Smart boy! Smart dad!
So if you don’t have a clue about where to start getting the proper education and encouragement about one of the very basics of operating a small business – accounting – join me Tuesday night, Oct. 30 at 9 PM Eastern to meet accountant and homeschool dad of 8, Darrel Hawes.
We have a solution.
The number for the call is 1-605-475-4150.
The passcode for the call is 42037#.
I’ll talk to you then!

Learn to be a Virtual Assistant
Hey,
The Internet has changed business, and here's an opportunity for you to benefit from it.
As more and more businesses become virtual, more people are able to provide services to small online companies from home.
Virtual Assistants, commonly known as "VA's," manage it much like an office manager does, only they do it all virtually from a remote location.
They are becoming very popular.
The problem is, there aren't that many of them.
And there is a serious need in the online marketplace for loyal, skilled, and trustworthy VA's.
So my personal VA and I are going to teach you!
Together we are going to host an 8-week class via Webinars and conference calls to train basic Virtual Assistants.
The classes will start on Thursday, October 11.
To learn more about it, listen to the call I did with my personal VA, Denise Lindvall
You can listen to it here:
http://www.educatingforsuccess.com/va/
Just click the play button under Denise's picture.
If you're not interested but know someone who may be,
please forward this invitation to them with a personal note.
I'll talk to you soon!

Home: the Center of Ministry
Hey,
In this age of securing professionals for everything, we have lost sight of one key truth.
God ordained the home to be the center of ministry.
There are tons of examples in the Bible and in history where small things started in homes.
Jeff Bezos started Amazon in his garage.
Pierre Omidyar started Ebay in an apartment.
Sergei Brin and Larry Page started Google in their college dorm room.
And look where they are today!
My family has personally experienced that on a much smaller scale with the conference we just hosted two weeks ago.
Entrepreneur Days, which served over 300 guests from 30 states including Alaska, California, Washington, and Florida, started in my living room just a few years ago.
We even had guests from Saudi Arabia and Canada.
This past weekend, I wanted to host a double baby shower for my daughter and my daughter-in-law and so my old friends could meet my son-in-law and my daughter-in-law.
But since I have been a bit busy with the conference lately, my house isn’t in “show shape.”
In fact, parts of it are trashed.
I considered renting the hall at the volunteer fire station down the road so I wouldn’t have to clean the house.
But I started thinking about my purpose, as I always do.
Home is supposed to be the center of ministry. It always has been.
So I rounded up the kids and we focused on cleaning the public spaces.
We just shut the doors to the rooms we didn’t get to.
Ever done that?
(I know you have!)
So yesterday, we had a glorious event! The boys all stayed.
Drew even stayed and played our silly baby games.
He didn’t win the diapering competition but his energy efficient house stories and his $66 power bill during a month when temperatures averaged over 100 degrees was popular with the ladies.
(He’s building super energy efficient houses these days.)
After the event when all the guests had left, the kids were in such a great mood that I didn’t want to leave them to go to bed.
That’s what home is supposed to be like.
If life at your house isn’t what you’d like it to be, pray that the Lord gives you wisdom to change what needs to be changed.
Learn how to balance all the people and activities so you always keep the main thing the main thing.
(That’s why women are multi-taskers!)
When we keep our priorities right by honoring our spouse and children and focusing on establishing home as a place of ministry, God is pleased.
And everybody else is happy too!
So many books, so little time…
Rhea!

How Do You Do It All?
Hey,
Does your home business take too much time away from your family . . . and vice versa?
Is it a struggle to discern what should have your attention and energy at any one time?
Do you have trouble staying motivated?
Is your life so dominated by the urgent that you never get to the important?
Do you ever feel like you could finally “get it all done” . . . if you could just get past that 24-hours-in-a-day barrier?
How do you do it all?
Mary Jo Tate of Tupelo, Mississippi, our outgoing Protégé of the Year for 2006, knows all about the challenges of balancing home, kids, and business.
She’s a single mom who homeschools her four boys while working exclusively from home as a writer, editor, and book coach.
**********
Here’s what one of Mary Jo’s clients has to say:
“By directing my attention to acceptance of that which doesn’t match up to my ideal, Mary Jo Tate liberated me to pour my energies into being a woman of motion, rather than being paralyzed by my list of what “should be” but wasn’t. No longer do I have my eyes on the disappointments of what I’m not doing, instead, I can now focus on the potential opportunities of whatcould be done.
“Mary Jo didn’t cut me any slack, all the while operating in kindness and with a Mother’s heart. She attacked my belief that I should be able to “do it all” with a ferocity given only to a woman who has been beaten up by that lie herself. She focused her super-woman laser eyes on the issues in my life and took them on!”
Dawn Clark
Bremen, Indiana
**********
I’ve asked Mary Jo to join me on a call Tuesday night to explain some of her powerful strategies for managing the transition as you implement your entrepreneurial education and fit it intoyour daily life.
She’ll also share the entrepreneurial principles she used towork her way off food stamps, double her income in one year, and win our Protégé contest.

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…

Want to be a real estate investor?
Hey,
I personally think everybody ought to own a house. And
after you’ve bought one, I believe you should acquire at
least one more.
Here are the advantages:
You are now a real estate investor and can take advantage of the tax benefits.
You would get a little extra passive income every month when the person living there pays the mortgage.
You could sell the place offering owner financing, thus providing a service to one of the 60% of good folks in this country who can’t go to the bank to get a loan.
If your current owner leaves, you can sell it again. (If they owned the house, they probably fixed it instead of tearing it up as renters are prone to do.)
When you retire at a ripe old age, it will have appreciated, if you bought well, and you can sell it for extra retirement or emergency money.
Notice that I did not say rent a house to renters and collect rent.
There is a better way.
But before you do any of this, you HAVE to get the right
education.
After all, you wouldn’t jump behind the wheel of a boat and
take off into the open sea without first getting the right
education.
If someone leaves you a significant amount of money or if (heaven
forbid) you won the lottery, before you start trying to invest the
money, get a good specific education.
Very few people are successful investing in real estate without first
getting a proper education. The mistakes they will make can be
incredibly expensive. Yes, you can learn by doing but that’s the hard
way.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. Drew almost lost
$100,000 one time on one deal.
I went out in the front field in the middle of the night and cried out
to God.
I said, “Oh God! That boy you gave me is about to give away the
farm! Help us!”
Well, God came through as He always does and even though the
price was waaaay too low, the party who won the auction (yes,
it was on eBay) couldn’t come up with the money.
So they backed out and the farm was saved.
And I gave Drew a hollering at that he has never forgotten.
He said, “Well Mama, you told me to get rid of the property!”
And I said, “Yes son, but I didn’t mean to give it away.”
Well, that was a learning experience for all of us. And there was
no one educated in selling houses on eBay to learn from so he
learned a lot of lessons the hard way.
(And I learned to be careful what I tell him.)
But with traditional real estate, there are experts available to learn
from who keep you from making those expensive mistakes.
Lou Brown is one of my family’s mentors. He’s been around for
a long time teaching others about real estate as he continues to
invest personally.
Lou is one of the teachers who have created thousands of millionaire
real estate investors throughout the world.
Everyone I know uses his forms to complete transactions.
At Entrepreneur Days, he is going to show you examples of what he
has taught his students. He’s even going to show you pictures of houses
he has sold over and over.
He has one story of a house he’s sold many, many times since he
bought it years ago. It’s just a normal little house like you have in
your town.
Once you see what he does, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to be
a real estate investor.
So if you want to be part of the 70% of the financially free in this
country who got there because of investing in real estate, do whatever
you have to do to get to our annual home business conference to meet
Lou Brown this August 24-26.
He is a great guy and you are going to enjoy his presentation so
much! Plus, he can change your life.
If you haven’t grabbed your seat yet, make sure you do it today!
Don’t let anything get in the way of you reaching your goals for
financial independence. Life is too short and your work on this
earth is too important.
I believe that YOU can do it… with the right education.
You didn’t get it in school, so I’m bringing it to you now.
This is where Drew and I learned to invest in real estate and I want
you to get the same Street Smart education we got from Lou Brown.
Join us in Atlanta this August!
And don’t forget to bring your teens!
Here’s where to learn more: http://www.EntrepreneurDays.com

Need vision and inspiration for your life?
Hey,
I often wonder why there aren’t more financially successful people in America.
The poverty level is around $19,000.
The mean income in America is about $46,000.
Business owners generally net about $400,000.
It seems that owning a business is more lucrative than working for someone
else at a job. Yet most of us haven’t been trained or encouraged to have our
own businesses.
There also are the risks.
What if things don’t work out as planned?
What about health insurance?
What if I don’t like the business after I start it?
Those are all viable concerns.
Things never work out as planned. That’s the beauty of the entrepreneurial way.
You don’t need a plan, you need a path.
Insurance? There are insurance programs for the self-employed.
If you don’t like doing what you started out to do, then outsource what you
don’t like to do and do what you love!
Einstein said, “Inspiration is more valuable than knowledge.”
My goal is to live an inspired life.
Every day, I want to walk in the inspiration of the Lord, hearing what He wants
me to do and doing what He says. I don’t want to be locked into a routine I can’t
break out of. I want to live my life free, yet responsibly.
We are often told that to live free means we are being irresponsible,
unstable and flighty. Yes, some folks are; but I doubt that most business owners
who control their own time and employ others would be called irresponsible.
I personally believe God created each of us to do a particular task.
And I’m not so sure that all of us are supposed to be employees working for someone else.
That’s just what we’ve been taught in the last few decades.
But that’s not the way it has to be.
I see way too many educated folks living too close to the poverty line these days.
Robert Kiyosaki paraphrased Buckminster Fuller in Rich Dad, Poor Dad, “Poverty has nothing to do with money. Money does not produce wealth. Wealth is what a person knows and the more people know, the richer they will feel.”
Our problem in America is that we are uneducated.
We have not been steered toward knowledge of how to create our own
businesses so that we can direct our own lives.
If someone else directs our lives, then we are ultimately not in control of it as we should be.
Yes, God is in control of everything but we are also supposed to be responsible
for each step we take, each habit we develop and each job we perform.
I agree with Thomas Edison who said, “If we did all the things we’re capable
of doing ...we would literally astonish ourselves.”
I am dedicated to helping people discover who they are and what they
were put on this earth to accomplish.
I work all year long putting together conferences with millionaire experts
that I meet along the way who have the vision and education that most of us lack.
I left society 10 years ago and have restructured my family’s entire life to be
able to provide help through people and resources to those who are serious
about changing their lives.
If you are one of the thousands who are struggling with life, there is hope.
I want to encourage you.
Every year, I invite a handful of experts to one place to give people like you
vision, inspiration and education you won’t find just anywhere.
And it’s all in one hotel, all during one weekend.
It’s called Entrepreneur Days and you’ve never experienced anything
like it before in your entire life.
There’s no way to imagine what will happen there. It’s just too incredible.
All you can do is attend and find out. And bring the teens because they
actually understand this thinking better than those of us who have been
trained not to dream.
As Les Brown says, “You don't have to be great to get started...
but you have to get started to be great".
Your goal may not to be great. But as you start discovering what you were
put on this earth to do, you’ll start becoming something you’re not.
You’ll start thinking like folks who have accomplished much.
You’ll start becoming a great influence in the world.
You’ll start becoming great.
Life is not supposed to be a methodical plodding from birth to the grave.
Rather, it should be a fun-filled adventure full of roller coaster experiences
pressed down, shaken together and running over with diversity and intensity.
Our focus shouldn’t be on paying the bills each month; it should be on
completing the projects God has given us.
And when one giant project is completed, ask, “Okay Lord, we built
that empire. What’s next?” And God may say, “Something bigger.
You were faithful with a little, now let’s go for a lot.”
I want to help you get a new life this August.

Learn How to eBay on Autopilot
Hey,
If your income could use a boost, eBay is the fastest way to get it.
Yet if you don’t use the power of the World’s Trading Post
correctly, you may create a monster of a job, like so many do,
that controls you instead of you controlling it.
eBay offers one way out of the Rat Race. There are several
other ways that the experts I’ve invited will be teaching at our
annual family business conference, Entrepreneur Days, this August.
This Tuesday night at 9pm EST, I’ll be talking with
Power Seller Mike Enos who has put his eBay business on autopilot.
He doesn’t sit around listing and shipping items all day; he has
set up systems so everything operates automatically.
Tuesday night, July 10th, he will explain the benefits of selling
on eBay when you know how to do it right.
Date/Time is: July 10th at 9pm EST
The number to call is: 605-475-4150.
The passcode is: 72383#
For girls who don’t want to work away from home but who want
to earn a little extra while also de-cluttering the house, eBay is the perfect thing!
Join me to see what I mean.
To meet Mike in person and to learn more about our August event, go here: http://www.EntrepreneurDays.com
I hope to talk to you Tuesday!
So many books, so little time…
Rhea!
