Gia Garcia's First Deal - Stepping Stone To First Million (Part 3)

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:00:00 +0000

This is the last part of the excerpt. On this part, my mentor Trace Trajano imparts very important lessons that you need to enable you to achieve your goals and dreams in life.

Read on and discover how he relates the lessons to how the 2008 NBA Champions Boston Celtics were able to win the championship.

For the past 2 postings I featured my "interview" with Gia Garcia, a student and franchisee who was able to finally sell her first deal. It was not easy and it took longer than expected. My hope is that her example will serve to inspire you rather than discourage you when things don't go your way as fast as you want them to.

As I said in my previous blog posting - there are no straight lines in the Universe. There are bends and turns and obstacles both large and small. S0metimes the obstacle is so large it blocks everything including your vision for the future. Sometimes the obstacle is so large you can't see beyond it.

But the way to go forward is go forward with faith. YES - you have to believe in your vision and you have to continually see in your mind that your goals and your dreams are achievable. You have to believe even when the present results tell you otherwise. The secret is not believing what you see and instead believing in your own vision.

What am I talking about? Am I losing my mind? What is all this talk about belief, and vision? What does this got to do with earning your first million?

Everything.

I saw last night Celtics victory over the Lakers. It's one of the most lopsided championship win in NBA history. The Celtics destroyed the Lakers with a 39 point lead. It was emotional. I have tears in my eyes. YES - I am a Celtics fan but more importantly...I have tears in my eyes because I can relate to and I admire the Celtics' team's BIG HEART. Kevin Garnett shouted at the top of his voice with tears running down his cheeks..."Everything is possible!"

They believed they can win...even when they encountered obstacles after obstacles.

So should you.

Winning is all the more sweet when it is not easy. And winning in the real estate game is not easy. Now that the market here in the US has turned for the worst, I've seen a lot of investors get wiped out. A lot of them are no longer investors. Moreover, 68% of real estate agents are no longer real estate agents because of the market.

It is easy to quit. In fact, it's even fashionable to do so. Everyone seems to be quitting the real estate game and you look smart for following the crowd.

BUT, quitters quit and winners WIN. There will be obstacles after obstacles but if you have the heart of a champion, it's a mathematical certainty that VICTORY is yours.

So like Gia...and the Celtics...you should face obstacles head on. Have a heart of a champion and get off your BUTT and face the challenges that life throws at you. Persevere. Get mentors and take MASSIVE...MASSIVE...MASSIVE ACTION. And believe in yourself and in your vision.

Gia Garcia's First Deal - Stepping Stone To First Million (Part 2)

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:00:00 +0000

This is the second part of the interview of my mentor Trace Trajano with my colleague Gia Garcia regarding her experience with her first deal.

Pay close attention to some real estate marketing tips that she will be revealing that could speed up your property's sales.

--------------------

Source: Trace Trajano's Blog (THINK RICH - QUICK!)

Yesterday, I started the week with an "interview" with Gia - a student and franchisee of mine who recently sold her very first deal. My hope is that her story will inspire and motivate everyone specially those who has not done their first deal and even those who are finding it difficult to sell their property. Below is Part 2 of my interview with Gia. Read on, be inspired and take immediate action based on what you will learn here!

----------------------------------------

Trace - what are the three most important things you've learned from this deal?

Gia -
1. There are several exit strategies - I thought there was only one way but I learned you can either wholesale, retail, rent to own or even rent out the property
2. There are several ways to market the property - offline, online, guerilla marketing, traditional.... and you never know where your buyer will come from so marketing has to be massive and extreme. It's also a numbers game, so...
3. Never Give up! Good thing I had the support of my mentors and co-franchisees from the Think Rich Pin0y Millionaire Network. They kept me going especially through the difficult times. There was a point when I almost gave up... I prayed really hard and kept on going and soon after the sale came!

Trace - what can you advice to those investors who have houses or properties they can't seem to sell?

Gia - I would advice them to learn how to market the property well. Sometimes its a marketing problem. Like I said, its a numbers game. The more people you have inquiring or interested in your property, the chances of it selling increases. And if I will quote you, "its a mathematical certainty!" Or another option is seeking a mentor or offering the property to any of us Franchisees! If its a good deal maybe we can help each other out! That's another thing that I learned in the process. From doing the business just for profit, I learned that I wanted to help people out or to solve their property needs. Whether they need to sell their property or they are looking for a good deal.

Trace - describe your current deal (acquisition price, potential profit)

Gia - The current deal I'm working on is a 9-door townhouse row in Tagaytay. It's still in its initial stage so we haven't closed yet on the price but it can generate a profit of P500,000 - 1million if sold altogether (wholesale/flip) or a potential cashflow income (net passive income) of around P55,000 per month just on rent.

Trace - so when are you going to be a millionaire?

Gia- In 5 months! That's my goal and dream... and with the guidance of my mentors and the support of the network, I'm very hopeful that I will achieve that dream.

Gia Garcia's First Deal - Stepping Stone To First Million (Part 1)

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:00:00 +0000

The Think Rich Pin0y Millionaires Network has seen several success stories from its franchisees as of late, most of which are the sales of the acquired properties.

An excerpt below is one of them featuring one of my business associate Gia Garcia who sold the condo that she acquired.

Witness one of the inspiring stories of determination and persistence. Can you learn from her story and apply your learnings to your business and life?

--------------------

Source: Trace Trajano's Blog (THINK RICH - QUICK!)

Sometimes, profiting from your first deal takes a while. It took me 9 months from the time I acquired my first deal to the time I received a check. That's not what quick turn real estate is supposed to be...it's called quick for a reason and that is, you should receive a check in your hands in 30 days or less.

But no matter...winners don't quit. They win...no matter what. Even if it takes longer than expected. One of the winners I am featuring in this blog is one of my students and franchisees - Gia Garcia. It took her a while to make money in the business but I believe this first deal of hers is her stepping stone to her first million.

I "interviewed" her and below is Part 1 of that interview. Read on, be inspired and learn.

--------------------

Trace - I heard that you finally closed on your very first deal. Please describe this deal for me

Gia - Yes Trace! Finally! The property was a 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo unit. I got it it for 2,050,000 and sold it for 3,030,000. Net profit is around P220,000 after all the expenses and taxes.

Trace - what difficulties did you encounter?

Gia - The holding period and closing the deal. I had a lot of interested parties and inquiries, but I got a lot of rejections. In the beginning I also encountered difficulties with the bank-seller and the agency who sold the condo through auction. At first they didn't grant me access to the property after winning the bid. It took me 2 months before I could really do anything.

Trace - after experiencing the ups and downs, if you can do it all over again, will you still do this deal?

Gia - Yes I would. Since it was my first deal, I knew it was a learning process. And I really learned alot.

Trace - what will you do differently?

Gia - If I would do it all over again, knowing what I know now, it would probably be easier and faster. I would fix up the condo first and stage it before showing it to a client. I think alot of the initial prospects were turned off when it wasn't fixed up yet. Then I would go extreme marketing - using several marketing media all at the same time.

---------------------

Trace's comments: 97% of beginning real estate investors quit in 3 months or less- that is most so-called real estate investors don't make it. Quitters quit and winners win. Gia encountered difficulties after difficulties but inspired, guided and coached by her mentors and her co-franchisees, she perservered. The result? She made money on her first deal..and this is her stepping stone to her first million. Why? Because what she has learned from this deal is knowledge she can utilize to make more money in her subsequent deals. Her first deal also proves to her investor that she can deliver. And guess what? Her investor will invest again and again because of this. Her first deal also allowed her to generate a buyers' list - whom she can find properties for. I can't begin to imagine the amount of money she can make from this list alone and it all started because she had the guts to actually buy a property and stick with it until the end...despite the difficulties.

So...what about you? Are you a quitter or a winner?

First Think Rich Pinoy Millionaires Network (TRPMN) Millionaire Franchisee - Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:00:00 +0000

Source: Trace Trajano's Blog (THINK RICH - QUICK!)

Trace - describe to me your latest deal? What is the potential profit, how did you find the deal, etc.?

Jessie – Our latest deal is “Romagna deal”, our 3rd property in Maia Alta, Antipolo. We already have a buyer for this property. We bought it for 2.5M, and sold it for 3.5M on a rent-to-own basis for 15 years. (Actually, we are selling it for 2.9M if cash, 3.1M if Bank financing. And 3.5M if Rent-to-own.) We found a buyer first and then we showed different properties even if they were not yet tied up. After the buyer’s decision as to which property they wanted, we talked to the seller and tied it up for Php5,000 only.

Trace - If there is only one thing from each of you that you can tell our readers who are striving to become millionaires, what advice will you give?

Jessie – Set “unrealistic” goals. And take massive action. Stay with it until its completion.

Apple – Have very good mentors who can guide you. Imitate them just like what we did.

Trace - Now that you are millionaires, what is next?

Apple – To be billionaires?! (lol) Honestly, you must not stop on what you are and have right know. Strive more so there will be more opportunities in helping other people. As Bo says, “The purpose of money is to help and bless others. The more people you help, the richer you become and you become rich not just materially but spiritually. You become truly rich.”

Jessie - Our goal is to earn Php1Million monthly. This can be done by retailing at least 2 properties per month with at least Php500,000 mark-up each.

-------------------

So...after reading this dear readers...what have you learned? And more importantly, what are you going to do about it? Will you remain broke and poor or will you imitate Jessie and Apple by taking massive action? If you choose and commit to be rich...what will you do NOW? What will you do? Will you commit enough that you can make a public declaration about becoming rich? Come on! Put it down - write it here by putting it in the comments. Make the whole world know about your committment to be rich. Enough reading and yakking about how other people became rich. YOU TOO CAN BE RICH! If you believe that you deserve to be rich, publicly declare it NOW in the comments section below!

First Think Rich Pinoy Millionaires Network (TRPMN) Millionaire Franchisee - Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:04:00 +0000

Source: Trace Trajano's Blog (THINK RICH - QUICK!)

I am proud to say that I have another millionaire student - in fact I have two...they're the first millionaire couple. Jessie and Apple Raquel have blazed a trail and their story is such an inspiration. I interviewed them and here's part 1:

Trace - I heard you're the Think Rich Pin0y Millionaire's Network franchise's first real estate millionaire couple! Congratulations! How does it feel?

Jessie - We are proud to be the first "Think Rich Pin0y" millionaires because of our first property in Bancal Meycauayan Bulacan. When I am feeling discouraged and have lots of rejection, I always look back to this successful event in our life. This is really a milestone.

Apple - It feels really great! We owe this to our group the TRPMN (Think Rich Pin0y Millionaire Network) and of course to our magnificent mentors, you,Larry Gamboa, Bo Sanchez and Nelson Terrible.

Trace - describe to me how you achieved millionaire status in such a short time.

Apple - We bought through a bank auction a 10-door apartment as our first deal in Bancal, Meycauayan Bulacan. And through yours and Larry's guidance, we were able to determine that its value is Php3.7M and bought only for Php1.85M.

Jessie – In the simplest way, the most crucial thing is to set “unrealistic” and “bone-deep” heart-felt goals. My goal at that time was not to become a millionaire but to have a passive income (Php150,000 monthly) so that I don’t need to work abroad and leave my family just to earn a living. And whatever happens stay focused in achieving it but be flexible. There are lots of learning experience from your first deal. Try to find out what works and what doesn't. From my youth, I always believe that I am G0d’s beloved. That He is with me no matter what happens. I just believe in my heart that G0d calls me to do this thing for a higher purpose. In essence, you have to set goals. Act upon it and stay focused. And believe that this goal will be achieved.

Trace - what challenges did you encounter and how did you overcome them?

Jessie – The biggest challenge was to sell the 10 units of the apartment in Bancal, Meycauayan.We had a negative cash flow for 1 year. You suggested the idea of marketing it using Php99/day RENT-TO-OWN units. After massive marketing campaign, bandit signs and internet marketing, unbelievable things happened, we were able move the remaining 5 units in 2 two weeks.

Trace - so you went from negative cashflow for 1 year and because of one single idea from me...you were able to become positive cashflow in just 2 weeks. Wow!

Apple - It really ain’t easy being in the same business as a couple. Like for us, we two are really different persons..different personalities, have different views etc. So sometimes we end up in ‘hot’ business discussions.But don’t worry they oftentimes result in a very sound decision and I think it is normal for couples.

Think Rich Pin0y SEMINAR Frequently Asked Questions

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 07:29:00 +0000

Think Rich Pin0y Seminar Frequently Asked Questions:

Many people have read the book "Think Rich Pin0y" but few have attended the seminar of the same name. Let's find more about this seminar....

Q: How can a this seminar help me?
A: If you're an entrepreneur or want to be, being with like minded people will give you an incredible boost in confidence, passion and drive to make your dreams come true. It will also introduce you to the right people. They say that if you average the income of the 5 people you're always with --that's your income. Now think of the possibilities if you huddle with millionaires...

Q: Why do they say "its the most successful millionaire maker program" in the Philippines? Is that true?
A: In real estate, it's "easier" to increase your net worth by buying a million peso (or more) property. The students of Think Rich Pin0y have actually done that several times. It's achievable within a year's time.

Q: Is it true that you get access to lots of mentors in the TRP Seminars but these are just "attendees"?
A: There are mentors in the crowd but there are a stable of mentors for the Think Rich Pin0y group. The first being Bo Sanchez in the spiritual side, for real estate Larry (Philippines) and Trace (USA), Jomar (Internet Marketing). There's also legal and accounting support as well and other mentors.

Q: Isn't Think Rich Pin0y only for Real Estate people?
A: Though the author, Larry Gamboa did concentrate on real estate in the book, the concept is to "think rich, pin0y". So it involves mutual funds, stocks, blogging and other businesses as well. The lessons in the seminar, specially those gained from playing the Cashflow 101 Game in the afternoon will encompass many businesses.

Q: What's the single most important benefit for me if I attend this Think Rich Pin0y Seminar on May 24/25?
A: You'll get to know the right people with the right resources who can bring you to the shared goal of creating one million pin0y millionaires. If you t want to be a part of this goal--then Think Rich Pin0y is for you.

Q: Is this another scam?
A: No, the seminar/workshop is just P 1450.00 (with an early bird discount its even lower). After that - the move is up to you what direction you want to take. There will be guidance from the Think Rich Pin0y Team as long as you avail of them. Some of these will be free (like the surprise New Year's gift of hearing (US Based Real Estate guru) Roger Salaam at Taal Lake last year -and some will be for a fee. You'll be surprised at how affordable these fees are. After all, you're going to be a millionaire and we desperately want you to be one.

Q: Why do you want ME to become a millionaire?
A: So you can donate MORE to God's work via Bo Sanchez's ministry. ....or any other ministry or outreach you want. And that's the exposed "ulterior" motive.

Q: Can we buy the Cashflow 101 game there?
A: No but we can form groups so you can play the game after the seminar!

Think Rich Pinoy Author Dr. Larry Gamboa Explains Why Most Filipinos Are Poor

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:56:00 +0000

This video was taken a year ago when Kerygma TV interviewed one of my mentors, Dr. Larry Gamboa, best-selling author of the Think Rich, Pinoy! book.

In this video, he shortly discussed his journey towards finding his fortunes in real estate investing in the Philippines. He also gave a short overview of why most Pinoys are poor despite the fact that most of them receive good paychecks every month.

The feature presentation is after a short preaching by Bro. Bo Sanchez.

Sit back, relax, and listen very intently. This may be the answer as to why you are still struggling financially today. If you happen to be shocked by what he will reveal, please do leave us a comment. We may have answers to what you are looking for.

Does Making The Goal More Unrealistic Makes It More Exciting?

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 02:24:00 +0000

Climbing a mountain to reach the top by walking is already a tough task to do for a beginner. What's tougher is if you want to climb it at a faster pace by running. If you are to choose among the two goals, which one would be more exciting to achieve?

If you are like me, I would go for the second one. Yes, it's more difficult but it is more exciting.

Imagine that two mountain climbers push through at the same time of day with the same goal of reaching the top. Obviously, the running climber will reach the top faster given all factors equal.

Just imagine being the second climber reaching the top grasping for air, body perspiring all around, and a body tired of exhaustion. But after all of this is the exhilirating experience of being on the top and enjoying the magnificence of the view around you.

Yesterday, I declared that:

I want to become the SECOND millionaire of the Think Rich Pinoy Millionaire Network.

After a consultation with Trace, he suggested that I change it to:

To become the fastest franchisee to become a multi-millionaire.

Wow! That's a bigger one. I think this is a better goal as it covers the first goal that I mentioned above and I got the chance to set a new record of my own.

In the world of Sports, speed is one of the great measurement of achievement. The same is true for other areas of life. If you can achieve something big faster, then you are worthy to be place in the record books.

That's all for now. I need to act now to make this goal a reality fast!

Do You Want To Achieve Your Dreams? Using One of The Most Powerful Secret Weapons Is The Key

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:45:00 +0000

I just completed a three-day bootcamp at Balai Isabel in Talisay, Batangas. It is very informative while having enough room for action-oriented activities. All of my mentors were there (Trace, Larry, Bo, Nelson) as well as my fellow franchisees.

Bro. Bo Sanchez made a surprise video shoot for the Preacher in Blue Jeans while we were having lunch. And kaboom! We became his instant background giving us a worldwide exposure. Do you know where I am in this video? Just look for the bald guy wearing light blue and white striped polo shirt seated besides Larry Gamboa and two beautiful ladies.

One of the highlights of the bootcamp was the announcement of the very first Millionaire of the Think Rich Pinoy Millionaires Network - Jessie and Apple Raquel. They are couples and have achieved the feat 3 years before schedule. Congratulations to both of you! 999,999 Pinoy millionaires more to go and we will achieve the mission of producing one million Pinoy millionaires by 2020.

Their story is very inspiring with their accomplishments enough to inspire me to accomplish the same. Without hesitation, I would like to declare that I want to become the SECOND millionaire of the Think Rich Pinoy Millionaire Network. I want the second spot badly.

You might ask why I am so obsessed with being the second one. It roots out from my personality of being Competitive (StrengthsFinder results). I find it very interesting to compete for something (second spot in this case) just like in sports. I take pride in winning and vesting the competition. That's who I am.

The specific goal is to become the second Think Rich Pinoy Millionaires Network millionaire with a one million pesos in net worth and a cashflow of P50,000 per month by October 1, 2008.

Is it possible? Yes, absolutely! It might seem unrealistic but by using the Power of Intentions, it can be done. My mentor Trace Trajano discussed the concept in detail on his website:

The Power of Your Intentions Part 1
The Power of Your Intentions Part 2

The challenge has just started but I am already raring to complete it. I am thinking of it all day long and is slowly becoming an obsession.

On the next bootcamp, which will be somewhere in October, I will be declared as the second Think Rich Pinoy Millionaires Network millionaire. Please don't think of this as bragging. I am just putting myself on the line by declaring publicly my intentions.

Do the same too and be amazed at how wonders will work for you. Please do email me if you have succeeded in using this method. I will be glad to feature you on this website as a testimony to the Power of Intentions!

Are you in doubt that this is possible? Please don't hesitate to share your views. I would appreciate if you leave it on the comment section and let's discuss it with others.

Practical Tips: How To Attract Wealth Without Feeling Guilty

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 04:49:00 +0000

Gia left a very good comment on the previous post. It reads:

Gia Garcia said...
"I like this post... I guess its really the mindset that can make the difference. But how do you practice this? Any practical tips on how to attract wealth and not repel it?"

The whole book is about attracting wealth and how NOT to repel it. I just sight a scenario for Chapter 1 entitled "No Guilt". More of these on the next posts.

By no guilt, you show no shame/guilt of:

1. Selling your product or services
2. Asking the buyer to pay for what your product is really worth
3. Closing the sale for whatever situation your buyer may be. You don't carre if s/he has money to pay for it or s/he has other priorities. His/her lack of money is not because of your existence.

In my personal opinion, what you can do to practice "No Guilt" is to:

1. Always put in mind that you are an entrepreneur. You provide value to your customers and they pay you in exchange for your product or services.

2. Learn the art of selling. Read sales books of successful sales people like Dan Kennedy, Blair Singer, and Tom Hopkins. Sales skills is a prerogative for entrepreneurs.

3. Practice the principle of "Always Be Closing". That's a totally separate topic that I will discuss in future post. You can start researching if you like to. I believe Larry discussed it in Grow Rich, Pinoy! book.

Are You Attracting Wealth or Repelling It?

"The opposite of wealth attraction is wealth inhibitation." - Dan Kennedy

Dr. Larry Gamboa has recommended again yet another excellent book. It's entitled "No B.S. Wealth Attraction For Entrepreneurs" by Dan Kennedy. I've started reading it and have hit me right from Chapter 1.

Chapter 1 debuncs our beliefs about scarcity vs. abundance mentality. This is supported by how we behave or think when we are selling something. Why are the examples related to selling? Because entrepreneurs need to sell or they shall perish as Larry often said. And of course, this book's intended audience are entrepreneurs!

I remember clearly when I joined a network marketing company a few years ago. I was selling my friends this particular product or package. Consciously, I want to close the sale and make money. However unconsciously, I was trying to push them away and not close the sale. Why?

Because deep inside me, there's this voice that says that if they buy, I will earn but they will loose money. I'm afraid that my product will not meet their needs.

There are two flaws in this mindset. First, why am I selling something that I am not comfortable selling? You need to have confidence in your product before you sell it.

The other thing is that I am already assuming that my product will not be able to help them, therefore these people will loose money if they buy it. How do I know? Just my assumptions.

Unknowingly, I am sabotaging my ability to close the sale and in the process, repelling wealth that I should be getting. If this is the case, why would I want to be an entrepreneur?

Entrepreneurs should provide something of value to other people in exchange for some monetary amount. There should be no guilt to close the sale whatever the situation of the buying party. After all, you are doing them a favor by providing what they need.

Attracting wealth is a mind game and so is repelling wealth. Your mind is a powerful magnet. Whatever pole you choose will define your results - you either attract or repell wealth. So better choose wisely.

Are You Whining Because of Too Many School Assignments?

"The ultimate purpose of wealth is to help others." - Bo Sanchez

I came across this email, which I found under my Spam folder. The message is clear based on the picture displayed. There are many children who need financial assistance for their education all around the country.

You might wonder why am I so moved with this thing. Pretty simple. Let's just say that I happen to be in their shoes during my school days. How can I forget the time during my 4th year college when we were doing Physics calculation quizzes and I have no scientific calculator to use. I have to wait for my seatmate to finish before I can get an answer of my own. We simply cannot afford to buy one at that time.

I am a little bit blessed as my mother and some generous relatives helped me finish high school. College time is another challenge for me. This one is really pretty expensive.

Now come my super hero in the Philippine business to the rescue. Oh, is there such one in the Philippines? Believe it or not but there is. His name is Mr. Henry Sy. Familiar? He is simply the tycoon owner of the SM Malls all over the country and other businesses. How was he able to help me?

Unknown to most of you, he had been running what is called SM Foundation Scholarship. It is funding the college studies of needy but intellectually-gifted high school graduates. Fortunately, I passed their rigid requirements and successfully completed my college degree.

I am not telling you this to brag but to make you realize that being rich is not a bad thing. It is you who decides what you do with your riches. In Mr. Henry Sy's case, he chooses to put some in the education of the youth. How's that for nation building?

Another thing I am so proud of him is that he never asked for anything in return. After graduation, it's up to you to find your job. You don't need to pay the Foundation or be tied up to his company for a period of time. He surely understands the Law of Reciprocity. That is, the universe will be the one who will pay back his generosity.

To sum up, we should be grateful of what we have today. Enjoy the blessings that we have and learn to share it with others. Don't expect anything in return. Just believe that there is a hidden hand who will give it back to you...a hundred fold.

P.S. I am not promoting the ad in any way. I am just using it to illustrate my points. I am not sure of the authenticity of the email. If you are interested, better do your homework of finding out if this is for real. Beware of scams. They are all around these days.

Dinna Revilla's Arrest...Comments from Trace Trajano

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:39:00 +0000

This is a reprint from one of the egroup topics asking for Trace's comment of Dinna Revilla's arrest:

I was asked to comment on what I think with Dinna Revilla's arrest. I don't know her so I can't really comment other than to say let's allow the legal process to determine whether she's guilty or innocent.

What I will say is this: SO WHAT IF SHE'S ARRESTED? It does not change a thing.

Real estate investing is still a proven way to become wealthy anywhere in the world. Just ask 90% of millionaires in America who have investment real estate in their portfolio. Dude...80% of millionaires made their first million in real estate. So real estate rocks even when some real estate gurus stink.

SO WHAT?

Move on.

Make offers.

Follow the advise of the gurus while sticking with your principles.

Do business with integrity and honesty. Help the sellers. Be honest with your investors.

DO NOT USE THIS AS AN EXCUSE for your failure to act to improve your financial life or an excuse for lousy business results!

If Dinna is a "fallen guru"...it does not make her students crooks.

Enough of this topic. Focus on what you need to do to succeed. One way to help you focus is learning more about real estate investing. You want FREE advice everyday to help you become a millionaire? Check this out:www.ThinkRichQuick.com

If You Are A Savvy Real Estate Investor, You Can Have This Self-Liquidating Investment Bargain For Just P3.3M

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:56:00 +0000

From: The Desk of Richard T. Fernandez
Think Rich Pinoy Millionaires Network Franchisee

Subject: If You Are A Savvy Real Estate Investor, You Can Have This Self-Liquidating Investment Bargain For Just P3.3M

Dear Friend,

Can I have your permission to talk to you about this great investment bargain? If yes, then read on...

Would you like to:

Have P690,000+ in discount by just acquiring this property without the long years of working and saving your earnings in a bank? Yes, you read it right. We are slashing the price from P3.99M to P3.30M so that you can take full advantage of the income-generating potential of this property.

Receive P43,500 or more in rental income by just waiting for your tenants' monthly rental checks? That's money you receive without having the trouble of working from 9am-6pm in a month.

Receive a P40,000 a month bonus cashflow if you work...or P15,000 a month of extra cashflow if you don't work? I will explain later...

If your answer is a resounding YES, then this one's for you!

Folks, I am giving away this self-liquidating 8-door apartment in Las Piñas, for a reduced price of P3,300,000! That's an incredible P690,000 in savings from the original selling price of P3.99M!

Richard, this seems like a great deal but how can this property ensure that I consistently receive my monthly rental checks for several years ahead?

Let me count the ways for you:

The apartment building is made of concrete structure. It is built to last.

Average apartment unit rentals in the area is around P4,000 - P6,000. That's around P32,000 - P48,000 or more for all 8 units in a month depending on how you increase the property's value to command higher rentals.

Located in a strategic location in Pamplona 1, Las Pinas ensuring constant supply of tenants.

7-10 minutes walking distance from Alabang-Zapote Road.

20-25 minutes away from SM Southmall.

25-30 minutes away from the booming area of Alabang, which now holds some call center and local and international companies.

Very near Barangay Hall, City Hall, and public market.

BUY this property NOW and you also get this Operational Water Purifying Station Business ABSOLUTELY FREE!

But what exactly do you get out of this FREE stuff?

The water purifying equipments are imported from US valued today at around P700,000 for comparable second hand equipments.

Running the business or having someone run it for you would generate an additional monthly income of P40,000. That was just the maximum profit the owner earned distributing water in the nearby areas. How much more can you earn if you expand the areas that you distribute water to?

Or, you can just rent this business out to someone else and charge him around P15,000 a month. You can also charge him an initial payment of P40,000 as bond for using the equipments.

Ready do buy this property? But wait, there's more!

Have I mentioned that there's another extra unit above the Water Refilling Station? This unit was currently used as a storage room by the owner but this can be converted to another rental unit. Therefore, you get another P5,500-worth of monthly income. You just have to renovate this area.

All in all, you can earn around P58,500 - P73,500 in monthly income from the 8-Door apartment and the two FREE Bonuses.

Now tell me, where else can you get a better deal than this? What are you waiting for? Don't waste a minute and contact us NOW!

Call +63916-269-7797 or +632474-3363
(Look for Richard)

or

Email fernandezrichproperties+ryrrj@gmail.com

Offer is good until March 7, 2008 only. After that, we may bring the price back to P3.99M. That's P690,000 lost by not acting quickly.

So go ahead and grab this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Yours for greater prosperity,

Richard T. Fernandez

P.S. The question is whether you want to keep wasting your time and money looking for the great deal or whether you're ready to GRAB this great opportunity. It takes considerable amount of time and efforts to find one. Now that I have already presented it to you together with some amazing bonuses, are you going to just pass up? Think again.

P.P.S. If this property is not for you but you want to be updated for new great property bargains from us, feel free to leave your email address below. Who knows, the next one might be just right for you!

How to Achieve the "One Million Pinoy Millionaires by 2020" Mission...by 2018 or Less

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 10:37:00 +0000

You might be surprised when the four stakeholders (Trace, Larry, Nelson, and Bo) of the Think Rich Pinoy Millionaires Network (TRPMN) declared that they set a BIG, HAIRY, AUDACIOUS GOAL of "One Million Pinoy Millionaires by 2020" last year. I have never encountered a bold, daring, and noble declaration as this in today's times in the Philippines.

Now, are you ready for another surprise?

What if I tell you that the mission above can be achieved by 2018 or less? Isn't it a BIGGER, more HAIRY, and more AUDACIOUS GOAL? Before you question my sanity, let me first tell you a story.

In 1930, there were two young brothers named Dick and Maurice who have successfully built a restaurant business. From a small drive-in restaurant in Pasadena, they were able to make it big by streamlining their restaurant operations and providing excellent customer service.

Can you guess who were these brothers? If you happen to live on those times, you can see their famous restaurant name by driving to their restaurant on the corner of Fourtheenth and E Streets. The sign says "MCDONALD'S HAMBURGERS". They were so successful that they seem to hit the jackpot. And the rest was history, right?

Sorry my friend, you didn't get it right. The McDonalds didn't reach new heights under the leadership of the two brothers. They tried to market McDonalds as a franchise but their result was dismal. What made the difference? Although they were excellent restaurant owners and efficient managers, they were not leaders. Their thinking patterns prevented them from becoming the type of persons that brought McDonalds to where it is now.

It was only until 1954 when the brothers teamed up with a guy named Ray Kroc. Ray had a great vision for the restaurant business. He immediately bought the rights to a franchise and used it as a model to sell other franchises. He assembled a team by recruiting the best and brightest people he could find and built an organization to support his vision. As his organization grows, he realized that he needed to train more leaders who will eventually develop additional recruits with leadership skills.

OK, enough with the McDonald's story. If you want to read more, you can find it at Chapter 1 (The Law of the Lid) of John Maxwell's book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.

How does this story relate to my claims above? As you can see in the previous posts of Trace, he is trying to streamline and make improvements to his well-oiled quick turn real estate business through various marketing efforts and activities. Much like what Dick and Maurice did, we need to have a great real estate business system. Having this lessens the learning time and efforts needed by a franchisee to reach millionaire status.

The second element is the ability of our leaders to continuously improve on their leadership skills. What this organization can achieve is greatly impacted by the ability of our leaders to raise their leadership game.

And finally, it will be difficult to achieve the mission if our leaders simply develop/lead enlightened millionaires. It's a must but it's not enough. An army of enlightened millionaire leaders should be trained/lead as our core leaders can only handle much. In return, these leaders will train more leaders, which in effect multiplies the capacity of our core leaders. John Maxwell says it well on his book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership that to add growth, lead followers. To multiply, lead leaders. This is the Law of Explosive Growth.

If Ray Kroc was able to do it with McDonalds, why not this organization? Don't you remember that we have three millionaire leaders plus a billionaire? Won't you agree that four heads are better than one? If the Big 4 are able to capitalize on my three suggestions above, it's just a matter of execution before we see a One Million Pinoy Millionaires by 2020...or even 2018 or less.

P.S. I have worked as a virus researcher/analyst in a global computer security company named Trend Micro, Inc. for 6 years. I spent another two and a half years as a supervisor working with 10 or more engineers. During that stay, I was trained to become a people manager and a leader as well. As a new member of the TRP organization, I am excited to impart what I have learned and experienced from my previous company.

P.P.S. If you love this post, I would appreciate if you leave a comment. I would be delighted to see people appreciate my work and would write more as what Trace Trajano is doing. This is also a guest post at my mentor's blog (Trace Trajano) at Think Rich - Quick.

P.P.P.S. Leadership is a broad subject. Anyone who wants to learn it needs time and experience to truly appreciate and understand its laws and principles. To jump start your learning, I recommend that you read John Maxwell's The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. The principles mentioned in this post are just two of his laws - The Law of the Lid and The Law of Explosive Growth.

Yes, Roger will be in the Philippines and will be talking about "HOWTO HAVE YOUR BEST YEAR YET--EVER".

How did this happen?

Very simply Roger said, "Larry this is my gift to you and the ThinkRich Pinoy Millionaire Network Franchisees." Is this abundance mentality or is it abundance mentality!

Retire Young Retire Rich!

noreply@blogger.com (Richard) — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 15:33:00 +0000

Where will you be at age 65?

According to some statistics gathered by Trump University, by the time you reach age 65, there's a...

45% Chance you'll depend on family and friends for financial help
28% Possibility you'll rely on public assistance
22% Likelihood you'll still be working
4% Probability you'll only be able to meet your basic needs
1% Chance you'll be financially independent

So which one do you choose? Most of you would probably prefer to belong to the 1% as it is the choice that offers the most comfort for this scenario.

Then someone came challenging the idea. Why wait until 65 when I can do it 20-25 years earlier? Retire young, retire rich!

"In my dreams man."

"Are you in your right mind?"

"Oh common. I'm no Robert Kiyosaki nor Donald Trump."

If any of these run through your head, you're probably one of those who believe that it's a CRAZY idea. Well, I can't blame you if you think so. After all, our mind is conditioned to believe that retirement can only be achieved after long years of spending time working to earn money. How old are you going to be by then? 60? 65? You might be a proud wise man by that time playing golf or enjoying time with your grandchildren. Not a bad idea.

Now what if we move it 20-25 years earlier. Would it make a BIG difference or is there any difference at all?

Imagine you want to travel to Europe. Would you rather travel by sea or by air? Obviously, going by air is the hands-down choice if you prefer to arrive there earlier, taking you by just less than a day. If you prefer the long route, going by sea is good for you, which will take you to your destination in around several days or months. Whatever course you choose, you will still arrive in Europe.

My friend, whatever it is that you're going to do on your retirement, whether you're going to do it when you are 60 or 40 does not speak much of the TIME that that you save by doing it early. Would you agree that 20-25 years is a lot of time to enjoy life if earning money is no longer of your worries?

If you have no idea at all, let me give you some. 20-25 years is a lot of time to:

Spend precious time with your loved ones.

Get your dreams.

Do whatever your heart chooses to do.

With:

The strength and vigor of a younger fellow.

The financial stability to support you.

The peace of mind of not having to worry for the future.

These possibilities are great but I don't have a magic wand or Aladdin's lamp to make these happen. Relax, I have some tips for you gathered from the experts:

1. Own and visualize your dream. No, I am not talking of the dreams that you have when you are sleeping. These are the things that you want to happen in your life that you are so passionate about. Have your own, it's free. Imagine yourself when you are already rich. What are you doing each day? Who are the people you are with? Where do you live? What model of car are you driving? And one more thing, write your dreams down and read them everyday. It has some magic in it that pushes you work for it daily.

2. Prepare a plan. Know exactly what you are going to do. Break it down into weeks for easy monitoring and followup. If you are not yet sure what to do, take some time figuring it out. Choose those that you love and have an easy time doing day in and day out. In short, work on your strengths.

3. Just do it! Just like Nike says. Execute the plans that you have listed in item #2. If you can do it now, don't wait until tomorrow.

4. Educate yourself continuously. Education does not end in school. There are plenty of new things to learn in life and the field that you are engaged in. Challenge yourself to become an expert at what you do.

Please don't think that I am an expert already. Just like everyone else, I am also travelling the road towards financial freedom. If you like this path, you have just found someone going for the same route. We have a long tough road ahead. If you are up to the challenge and willing to pay the price, then welcome to the journey!
