I know I have. The economy has cooled off in the major metropolitan areas of the country.
I've been noticing this shift for a couple of years now but, over the last couple of months, it seems to have gotten ICE COLD as far as I can tell.
It reminds me of being on a roller coaster when there's that pause when you reach the top, right before the coaster goes careening down at a super fast speed. This is the point when your heart is beating out of your chest in anticipation. And that's the precise moment we're at RIGHT NOW...at that "pause" at the top, before we come crashing down.
So, what do you do now? Do you just watch and wait? What's the right answer in dealing with our upcoming recession?
There IS a little-known real estate profit opportunity that you may not have considered to this point. In fact, I talk about it at great length in a brief audio seminar that I have prepared just for you.
CLICK HERE to access that audio seminar now! I think the opportunity in real estate will surprise you a little!
If you want to PROFIT from this upcoming recession, you MUST change up the game a little. This requires moving into a completely new type of real estate investing, at least for a short while.

I've been a wealth trainer for more than 15 years and I've found that there is a COMMON THREAD among every student of mine who never becomes successful.
What is that COMMON THREAD?
Not enough attention to the details and NO FOLLOW-THROUGH.
Many of the students I work with believe that they will read one of my books and suddenly they are "schooled" enough in being able to buy a multi-million-dollar real estate asset. They're not even willing to attend a seminar, mentorship group, or study my course materials yet they believe they're rippin' ready to jump into buying that first property.
Then...in the 11th hour, they back out. Some will get just inches from the finish line and they drop out of the game, detoured by fear (mostly because they didn't go deep enough in the learning process to understand what to do next), and then they recess into the mediocre life of what's always been. Never to become successful with anything.
I hope that does NOT include you. It probably doesn't because most of my students understand the value of learning everything they can before jumping into the big, bad world of real estate investing.
With that said, I have something VERY IMPORTANT to tell you about the rapid changes in our real estate market. You absolutely MUST listen to a short audio seminar that I have prepared for you. CLICK HERE to listen to it now. In fact, I highly recommend that you STOP all investing activity including looking for properties until you listen to this somewhat shocking new direction that I'd like to see you pursue for maximum cash flow potential.

I have a few students making anywhere from $180,000 to over $350,000 per year as bird dogs as I mentioned to you before.
Stanley K. has been a student of mine since around late 2015 when he first got started. And he initially wanted to invest in multi-family property deals.
But...
Realized that he didn't want to go the 0% down route because the area he was farming in wouldn't allow for any cash flow on the deals he was looking at unless he put at least 20% down.
This is when he decided in 2016 to become a bird-dog. It was a rocky start at first, mostly because he didn't have the confidence in himself to do this.
"I think I was just telling myself that it wasn't possible," he later told me. "So after I got your course and went through your mentorship group on bird-dogging, I kind of threw it on the back burner. And that was a mistake."
This is the very same "replay" conversation I have with many of my successful students who will start the process by getting the education from me, then they'll throw it on the back-burner because they lack the confidence in doing this or life gets in the way somehow. Then my smart students will go back to it, go through the materials again, and will begin to implement it, throwing their fears aside in kind of a "what-the-hell-let's-do-this-and-see-what-happens" moment.
And for those students, many times they'll hit the jackpot in a big way!
In 2016, Stanley made a little over $36,000 since he started late that year. But in 2017 he made a staggering $213,000.
So, I had to ask him...Why the big jump from $36,000 to $213,000.
Stanley had this to say about it: "I didn't actually do my first deal until right after summer ended in 2016 because it took me that long to convince myself that I could do this. Then in 2017, all I did was work on deals. I kept my full-time job until I hit the $100,000 mark then I quit. And that happened in May of last year."
I further asked him EXACTLY how he works with investors and he said, "I just did everything you said to do about finding investors in the course and mentorship group that you did. It's was all there. I just had to finally get off sitting on my hands to start doing it."
Well said!
And my final question to him was what he was on track for THIS year. He said he's ALREADY SURPASSED the $213,000 he made last year BUT...he's going to take the last 3 months off this year (October 1st through December 31st) so he's guessing that he'll "only" clear just over $325,000 for 2018.
Still...not bad! CLICK HERE to read a quick report on exactly how Stanley and many other have been able to take advantage of this opportunity.
And, oh...
Here's the best part.
I have investors looking for deals right now and I want to connect you DIRECTLY to those investors ASAP. Including working directly with my star student, Andrew Shaw.
CLICK HERE right now to find out how to become a part of this.
I've had some of you sending me emails about how profitable bird-dogging works. Even some of you sending me deals without having the correct credentials to do so.
So, here is a little bit of a break-down on how this whole bird-dog or property scout thing works:
By definition, a bird-dog is someone who goes out to locate properties (mostly unlisted "pocket" listings) to hand over to an investors. And the bird-dog gets paid 1 of 2 ways:
Way #1: Getting a "referral fee" from the end-buyer, typically up to 3% of the final purchase price; this is generally paid at the close of escrow, sometimes before.
Way #2: Flipping the property -- through "paper reassignment" OR by buying then reselling the property to an investor -- at a higher price. For paper reassignment, this flip is done within 30 days usually. But for flipping, especially when using our sources for "extended transactional funding" PLUS our other money guy who can get you CASH FOR DEALS, you can flip your property in anywhere from a few days to upwards of a year. This means taking possession of the property, doing minor cosmetic upgrades (to get top dollar), filling vacancies, and THEN reselling the deal as a "turnkey investment" to hot investors.
Way #2 is the preferred and more profitable way in doing this business. This is how you will be able to make upwards of $150,000 to even much more than that each and every year doing this with only one or two deals per year.
Question/Concern #1: "I live in Southern California (or a place where properties are over-priced with low CAP rates and no inventory...so fill in the blanks on any other place that matches this). If I have to live near the property deals, I can't do deals as a bird-dog, right?"
Answer: WRONG! If you do Way #1 as outlined above, you can live anywhere and find deals far, far away from where you live. It doesn't matter where the deals are because you're getting a referral fee for finding the deal. Now, if you plan on flipping properties WITH doing rehab of ANY kind then it's helpful to be near the property to help orchestrate such deals. But...is it necessary to live in the same area still? Nope. Even when doing minor rehab you don't have to live in the same area of the property deal unless you plan on doing the rehab yourself which isn't recommended anyway.
Question/Concern #2: "Can't I just send you a deal and get paid a bird-dog fee without being part of your Bird-Dog Bonanza & Opportunity System with the Opportunity Card? If so, I'd like to send you this link from Loopnet on a deal I just found for you and you can send me a referral fee for it!"
Answer: No, NO...and F*** NO!! You cannot just simply send me a deal -- ESPECIALLY a freaking Loopnet or other online MLS listing -- and expect me to pay you for it. It's like you knowing that I'm in the market for a new car so you send me a link to my local dealership that you found online. And expect to get paid for it. That's just not how things happen in the real world, Bubba. This is the main reason that I REQUIRE my students to get the Bird-Dog Bonanza & Opportunity System. It's so you UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO THE BUSINESS without wasting either my or my investors' time. So you can actually get deals through our system and accepted so you DO get paid. And this is why only my Apprenticeship, Viper Wealth and Bird-Dog Bonanza students are ONLY allowed to submit deals; all of these groups of students understand how the process works, understand the deals we are looking for, and understand how to submit the deals. Without this basic understanding, you won't get anything accepted.
And as a SECOND note to the stupidity surrounding that question/comment, why would I pay you to send me a Loopnet lead when either myself OR my investors can find such a deal ON THEIR OWN without your keyboard and mouse-clicking wizardry to "help out" in the process of finding deals. There is nothing unique or special about being able to use your computer and internet connection to go to Loopnet.com or CityFeet.com to find deals. Sorry. But nobody deserves to be paid anything for sending an email with a Loopnet.com lead in it. And anyone who does needs their head examined for severe damage.
Listen, in MOST areas of the country real estate inventory on the commercial level is VERY LOW. So investors working their tight-niche areas already know EVERY PROPERTY listed on the MLS in their immediate property farming area. And in many instances -- myself included -- us investors know each property by heart including property address, amount of units, unit mix, and occupancy level for each property listed on the MLS in our farming areas. So...needless to say, you're not going to be bringing anything mind-blowing to the table if you tell me or my investors, "Hey, look at what I found on Loopnet.com." Guess what? We already beat you to it the second that property hit the MLS so you're not doing us any favors by doing the "heavy lifting" with your fingers on the keyboard.
You must bring something else to the table. Something better.
And here's how you're going to do that:
I have some incredible ways of finding deals that ARE NOT on the online MLS. And since the market is so tight -- meaning that inventory in most areas of the country is very hard to come by -- this will make you in VERY HIGH DEMAND as a prolific and successful bird-dog because YOU will know EXACTLY HOW to find deals while everybody else -- investors especially -- are scrounging around looking for deals day in and day out.
CLICK HERE and I'll explain how the rest of this process works and how you can become a bird-dog for my investors ASAP!
See you at the top!

I have over a dozen investors that I've consistently worked with over a decade...a couple I've worked with for over 15 years. This doesn't include the more than 100-something investors who I consider to be serious players (since they all have a net worth in the tens of millions and above) that I have total in my network of investors looking for deals from my property scouts. Or what I like to call my bird-dogs.
Each investor I work with has a different set of criteria but they all have only ONE thing in common: they ALL want to get a huge profit on whatever deal is brought to them.
Of course, that doesn't help you unless you're part of my network of bird dogs who have been specifically trained to scout out properties for my "heavy hitter" investors.
Some of my bird-dogs make a consistent $250,000+ per year in fees. And that could very well be you if you simply understand what these investors are looking for and how to find these deals that they want.
People who act idiotic toward me or around me are starting to disappear.
And I'm really grateful for it.
I think it's because most people know I don't put up with it.
But the few who think they can dish it out...they sure quickly realize what it means to have to TAKE it.
Recently I had this loser send me an email about how he claimed to be a long-time student then suggested that I ripped off a guy named Russell Brunson with my Internet Cash Flow Strategies.
First of all, what a lot of people don't know about me is that:
1) I actually know Russell Brunson personally. Great guy, by the way!
2) I started marketing on the Internet back in the late 1990s before it was a "thing"...long before Russell Brunson even surfaced to teach anybody anything about online marketing.
3) I use a lot of offline marketing strategies (like direct mail marketing), something that Russell almost NEVER does and something he doesn't teach anybody to do either.
4) All of the systems I teach are MY OWN that I figured out by myself based on trials and tribulations of being in the business world and by FAILING A LOT...but finally piecing it all together little by little.
5) And I never teach my students ANYTHING that I haven't personally used myself to become successful. Period.
So, this chap who claims he's been a "long-time student" probably doesn't know how to read. If he did, he'd CLEARLY SEE that none of my stuff is a rip off of Russell Brunson's...or anybody else's for that matter.
And I really resent anyone making those types of baseless accusations.
Listen, there's only one reason I stay in the game of teaching and training my students, including you. And that's because there are quite a few of you who have made major life transformations that would have NEVER happened if they had never met me. This is what keeps me teaching.
Then, when I get the few a-holes here and there who want to shoot darts my way (usually it's a guy) because they're useless sacks of sh** and they feel intimidated by a woman (me) who constantly remind them of what failures they are. And it just sucks for me to have to deal with such bullsh** because I seriously don't have to keep teaching and training anymore. I'm only doing it because YOUR alternative is falling into the likes of scammers and shammers. But then again, for those who find the need to criticize me based on their own psychological issues and shortcomings, that's probably what they deserve anyway.
My point?
If you're not somebody who will get off your ass to help yourself, I'm not here to help you. I don't sell magic pills or miracle boxes that, when you open them up, a little elf jumps out to put together your business for you while you plop your ass on the couch to watch TV for 6 hours a day. That's not how the real world works, folks. And if you haven't figured that part out yet then...you're probably kind of screwed. And I'm not here to help people who are lazy. That's not what I'm here for. I'm only here to help those who REALLY WANT to make some major financial changes.
CLICK HERE to find out about something that is really a game-changer. But let me warn you: if you're lazy (and I know who you are), don't bother. Go back to watching TV. This really isn't for you anyway.
See you at the top!

P.S. It's hard to believe but next week is the Inner Success Retreat! CLICK HERE to find out how you can register if you still want a spot! I have ONE SPOT LEFT! CLICK HERE NOW!
Just recently I announced that Bev -- one of my most successful students for online affiliate marketing who profits (yes, PROFITS) over $40,000 per month -- gave me the green light that she'd like to speak on the 3rd day of my upcoming Money Funnel 3.0 Workshop.
Platinum Viper Wealth student Paul S. emailed me and said that he was shocked that the workshop isn't full yet. I am too, actually.
But there are a few reasons for that:
1) I give ALL of my Viper Wealth and Apprenticeship Group Members FIRST CRACK at taking the spots at all of my seminars and workshops. And I'm just releasing seats now to everything one. (CLICK HERE for more details on how to register.)
2) For the record, I am HALF FULL on this upcoming workshop since I keep my groups VERY SMALL to ensure that EVERYBODY leaves with a fully fleshed out business ready to go and to start making money. (In this upcoming workshop -- for the FIRST TIME EVER -- we're actually going to be PLACING ONLINE ADS on the 3rd day so it's VERY likely that you'll start getting your first orders before we even conclude this workshop event!)
3) Some people simply don't want to invest in themselves or a business, but yet they complain that there are "no opportunities" simply because they're too lazy to get off of their dead ass to put the time and effort into the business. They ask me, "Monica, can't you just do it all for me?" And my answer is, "Yes, I already am doing it all for you...but the money is going into MY bank account for those efforts!" See how that works? You have to put in the work before you can get anything out of the seeds you sow. No sowing seeds = no fruits. Period. No exceptions.
I know, I know...there's always SOME type of "legitimate" excuse, isn't there?
"I don't have the money."
"I can't make the dates to come out."
"I'm a single parent."
And on and on the excuses go.
And that's all fine. Live a life of excuses and get nowhere. That's just how the ball bounces. Because after all, ALL of my events and workshops (especially THIS one) is ONLY designed for the DOERS...NOT for the tire-kicker complainers.
I think the "single parent" excuse is the one that bothers me the most, especially coming from women. I'm a single parent myself. I get absolutely NO SUPPORT from my daughter's father. In fact, the guy has yet to contribute a single dime to my 10-year-old little girl's well-being. At one point I was paying HIM both spousal AND child support for MANY YEARS for a child he NEVER SAW. (And those monthly payments were NOT cheap either since it was based on my income, obviously.)
So, if anybody has the right to make excuses, be angry, and to lay out all the reasons as to why the cards are stacked against me..that would be me. Yet I DO NOT make these excuses and I prosper because of it.
Maybe it's time you make that choice too!
Now, there are a couple of options here:
Option A: You can get just the Money Funnel 3.0 System (without attending the workshop) and you can get a pretty good "crash course" education on EXACTLY how to set up profitable online money funnels. I even go into detail about the 2 marketing strategies Bev uses to make her $40,000+ per month in profits. I also give you CLONES that you can simply download into your own system and use to make money! CLICK HERE for more information on getting this option.
By the way, you can also upgrade to the California Glow Affiliate Kit (highly recommended if you don't have it yet) when getting your Money Funnel 3.0 System.
Or...
Option B: Getting the Money Funnel 3.0 System WITH the 3-Day Money Funnel 3.0 Workshop on October 19th, 20th, and 21st. This is where the RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD because you'll actually have a completed business (as long as you follow the step-by-step instructions) by the time you leave the event on the 21st. In fact, I plan on having us place online ads while we're still working through the final day and there's a strong chance you'll find yourself with your first few orders before leaving the event!
And I've NEVER offered that in ANY workshop before.
Listen, everybody has excuses. But excuses will get you nowhere. You can either sit in a corner, cry, and say "Whoa is me." Or you can get off your ass and do something about it. Either way, the world doesn't care what you do at the end of the day. But hopefully you care enough about your life and your future to finally do something about it!
Many of you know (or know of) Beverly-Anne Thiessen...or Bev as we call her around the office.
She's in her 70s and yet she's managed to be able to build an incredible online business using 100% of my Money Funnel and Affiliate Marketing Strategies to the tune of making $40,000 per month...IN PROFITS!
And she's just agreed to come out to my Money Funnel Workshop to show my students EXACTLY what she does to make the kinds of money she's making!
Yes, you're going to meet her if you register for my Money Funnel 3.0 Workshop which is on October 19th, 20th, and 21st!
CLICK HEREto listen to a 10-minute audio seminar talking all about this amazing upcoming event!
What I LOVE about Bev is that she's not one of these older folks who makes excuses about how they can't do this or that because they're, well...old. She does the work, figures out things that she needs to figure out, and gets it all done WITHOUT ANY EXCUSES.
And that's why she's pumping in $40,000 per month in profits with her little online home-based business.
Why aren't you making this kind of money yet?
Is it because you're full of excuses? Is it because you can't make the time to devote to building up your funnels without distractions? Is it because you've never made this a priority?
Now is your time to get away for 3 full days and to MAKE this a priority.
In this LAST EVER Money Funnel 3.0 Workshop, you'll:
Have a completed business set up and ready to go by the time you leave!
You'll have my most POWERFUL and PROFITABLE Money Funnels in your system to instantly be able to make money with!
You'll even have your first online ads placed, possibly seeing your first sales come in before you walk out the door on the last day after the event is over!
Why WOULDN'T you want to come to this?
The only people who won't make the time or effort to come to this simply don't want this kind of financial freedom. Or maybe there's a sense of "comfort" in being miserable and making excuses. I don't know.
But this is the LAST event I'm doing of its kind and the ONLY event Bev will ever come out to as she reveals her EXACT blueprint on EXACTLY what she does (step by step) to make $40,000 in profits per month.
I felt depressed, tired, and a little overwhelmed. And I think I was just picking up on all the feelings swirling about and among all of us in remembrance of the most significant day of our modern times: 9-11-2001.
We ALL remember that day including EXACTLY where we were, what we were doing, and how we were all agape in horror, confusion, and deep sadness in what began as a bad day that only ended up much worse than any of us had ever anticipated. And it scarred all of us forever.
Many of you don't know but I have a student who has since become a close friend of mine. She's also part of my Apprenticeship Group and her name is Nichele. She was actually IN 9-11 as it happened. And she almost didn't make it as a result.
While I've always said that this is HER story to tell, I can't help but to take a moment to honor the travesty and unthinkable moments that happened in her life on that fateful day and how it permanently altered her body, mind, and spirit as a result.
You see, Nichele was in one of the buildings next to the collapsing World Trade Towers. And she was in the building as the towers were collapsing. Many didn't make it out alive. But she did.
But not without permanent consequence.
Her sense of smell and taste is permanently altered. I believe she carries a sense of depression or a "black cloud" over her, probably in the form of PTSD. It's like that day stole something inside of her that, I'm hoping, I can help assit her in getting back. Maybe it stole that sense of wonder in life or the belief in promise of a new day. I don't know. But something deep was taken from her that day that she has yet to get back.
Something was taken away from ALL of us on day.
Nichele texted me this morning and told me what a sad day it was. I knew. I sensed her feeling of doom and gloom before she even reached out to me this morning. And my heart just goes out to her and everyone else who was directly (and indirectly) touched and altered by that unspeakable day.
In the past I always took issue to "not forgetting" something. I always thought it was an unnecessary way in dredging up things that probably should be part of our distant past when it seems that people just want to keep rolling out ceremonies and other ways to "remember" what should be in the rear view mirror of our recent history.
But this is kind of different, isn't it?
It touched ALL of us in such a significant and permanent way that we ALL -- in one way or another -- have some kind of scar that stemmed from 9-11. It could be a depression of feeling that the world is screwed and it just keeps getting worse, starting from that day. It could be physical scars, mental scars, emotional scars...or all of the above. It could be a loss of a loved one from that time. Whatever it is or however small or large that scar, we were all damaged in one way or another on 9-11 and that's not something you can just forget about and move forward from. At least not that quickly.
They say: "Time heals all wounds." Is that really true?
