Last month my one-time-only Money Funnel Mentorship Group ended and I got an email yesterday from one of my students in the group who has just cleared $7,000 in the past 2 weeks, putting him on track to make $14,000 for his first month with his newly completed money funnel business. So when I say this stuff works...and fast, I'm not kidding!!
But...sadly, I decided that I will ONLY be doing ONE of these Money Funnel Mentorship Groups. And it ended last month. They're too intensive and time-consuming for me so if you missed my only group, I'm sorry. But...
There is good news, however, and that is: I have the "modules" of the group ready to go for you. This means that I have all 8 training videos with all 8 PowerPoint presentations (in PDF format) and all 8 Action Sheets with ALL of the needed materials for the group. And this also means that you don't have to wait an entire 8 weeks to go through the group with everyone else. You can now take these modules and go through all of them in half the time...or less, launching your successful money funnel business in record time! (Now THAT is a good use of a summer vacation. Instead of lounging around all day, why not build a multi-million-dollar business instead?)
I've had so many emails and phone calls from students over the past few weeks asking about these Money Funnel Modules and when they're going to be released/ready. They're actually a week overdue. They were supposed to be ready last week but I feel like I got hit with a bus with this flu that seemingly will never go away so...that threw a week delay in things. So, the Money Funnel Modules are being released today and I'm offering a killer kick-ass deal on them for Father's Day.
Here's what you'll get:
8 Weeks of Webinar Training Videos (Each 60 to 90 Minutes Long...a Couple are EVEN LONGER Than That) Giving You the MOST THOROUGH Training You'll EVER Get in Building a Successful Money Funnel!

I thought about it over the last couple of days and realized that there are really only 3 ways to get money for real estate deals, especially when you're first starting out as a real estate investor.
Here they are:
1) Find an investor-partner who can fund your deal including the down payment as well as any rehab (if necessary or required).
2) Flip property for cash using "wet funds" to get the 100% cash needed to initially pay for (before reselling) the property.
3) Being a highly-paid bird-dog to earn a "referral fee" between 1% and 5% of the final purchase price of the deal after closing.
What's really awesome is that in my latest Bird-Dog Bonanza System for 2016, I cover ALL 3 of these methods in getting money which you can use as income or use to fund your own passive income real estate deals.
For those of you who started with my bird-dog teachings years ago, I can tell you that A LOT has changed in recent years. Since inventory is hard to find and you have to scour a little deeper to find deals, you have to understand what has changed and how to make a fortune in TODAY'S day and age with bird-dogging, otherwise you won't make a dime.
I have some students who are super successful bird dogs. In fact, they wouldn't do anything else including investing in real estate themselves (which is a mistake). Instead they just profit from deal after deal and have a solid income ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 and sometimes more per year in pure profits. (One of my students made roughly $800,000 in 2015 as a bird-dog! That's more than what many of my students are making as passive income real estate investors!!
Yes, if you want to enter the world of real estate investing but you need to start slow, you need to gain access to the funds for your own deals, you want the experience and confidence of investor without being one yet, and you want to learn the ropes of the business without any risk then bird-dogging is where you need to start.
My most recent deal was one that was sent over to my investor partners that just closed escrow late last month. It was for an apartment building in Texas with a final purchase price of $4,300,000. My student who was bird-dogging the deal got a 2.5% bird-dogging fee for it. And he told me later that it took him less than 5 days to put the entire deal together. Total payout for this student was $107,500 for his bird-dog referral fee.
I have so many students asking me where to get started in business, especially with investing. Yes, it's getting tough to compete in our current real estate market. Inventory is tight. You're competing with the biggest and most financially secure investors who can plop down 25% cash (or more) on a deal to make sure they get it. They can pay top dollar. They can over-bid. These are all things you can't (and shouldn't) do as a new investor.
But there is an opportunity that you should be aware of. It's called being a bird-dog or a property scout. And there are a couple of ways that this works that can give you huge profits in the process:
Option #1: Getting a "referral fee" between 1% and 5% for finding a deal that they wouldn't have otherwise found on their own. To legally do this without a brokerage license (which you don't need) is that you are given a 1099 having provided a "consultant service" to your investor for finding this property deal. Yes, this is 100% legal. And yes, this is done ALL THE TIME!
Option #2: Flipping the property to an investor after purchasing it with "wet" funds. You can get money for a deal. Yes, 100% cash. And you don't need good (or any) credit and you don't need any money to use what we call "wet funding" in this business. These funds are for flipping. But this type of deal is done differently. You preliminary "sell" the deal to an investor first before buying the property. You'll buy the property for a price and flip it to your investor for a higher dollar amount in what we call an A-to-B-to-C deal.
And then there's MY favorite option in all of this: finding investors to fund MY deals that I want to either flip or buy and hold (for up to 5 years). I love finding new investors to want to do deals with me. This gives me the option of getting a much higher percentage of a flip or buy-and-hold deal (as low as 25% and as high as 75%).
I've just released my 2016 version of the Bird-Dog Bonanza System that outlines all of the massive changes that have occurred with bird-dogging. You'll discover how to do all 3 things listed above in today's real estate market and beyond!
What I love about recommending bird-dogging for new students is that it allows you to get involved in real estate investing without the risk, without cash, and without credit. It allows you to get your "feet wet" in the business of real estate without actually investing. And it allows you to learn the ropes of the business by giving you confidence so that when it's time to do your own profitable real estate deals, not only will you have the money to do these deals but you'll also have the know-how and confidence.
For those of you who have been on the fence about real estate investing and have been wanting to get involved but didn't feel that you were "adequate" enough to enter into this business, you can enter in as a bird-dog and make a huge amount of money doing this!
Oh, and one more thing. You can choose between finding your own investors (which is very easy to do and is clearly outlined in the course materials) OR use our investors to bird dog deals to. It's your choice. This way you don't have to worry about finding investors because we already have the investors!
Finding good help these days is becoming the impossible Holy Grail feat.
Not but 30 minutes ago I fired someone for -- get this level of stupidity -- for filing for Unemployment Benefits WHILE she was working here. Yes, you read that correctly. She filed for unemployment with EDD after she got the job here, trying to double-dip the system or something.
Of course, she didn't know that all employers are INSTANTLY NOTIFIED of such filings since, after all, it has to come out of my banked unemployment funds that I've paid into over the years. So, as soon as I received the notice, I couldn't believe the freaking audacity of this bitch to do something so brazen. And yes, it does fall into the category of embezzlement. She's taking a paycheck from me and, at the same time, taking an unemployment paycheck that ultimately comes from me as well is considered THEFT as far as I'm concerned.
As many associates of mine have asked over the years..."Where do you find these people?"
My short answer: Who the f*** knows?!
So, long story short, she's gone now. This is when I realized something quite interesting that you MUST take note of if you're going to be successful doing anything in life: one small shift in energy, even that of another person entering your life, will start to screw up everything for you. Yes, that's right. Other people who don't contribute positively to your vision while dragging others in your posse down do to their negative attitudes will start to sink your entire ship. And it happens pretty fast too. You have to pay VERY CLOSE ATTENTION to these types of energy, time and money vampires in your life otherwise, before you know it, you wake up and you find yourself in bankruptcy court.
Of course, it didn't get to that point with me because I saw what I was happening and quickly nipped the problem in the bud. But this is why fairly successful people quickly find themselves in an off-balance situation or circumstances. We call this a "reversal of fortune" for some. A "bad apple" comes along -- whether it's in their personal or business life -- and, like an aggressive cancer, destroys all the good around it.
Here's my advice: DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!!
Now, here's the hard part, folks. The hard part sometimes is identifying this destructive individual. Sometimes you just don't know who it is or how it's creating this havoc in your life on other levels. The other difficult part is sometimes you have to let go of someone who seemingly is "stuck" as a permanent part of your life. Now, if it's family, you can always distance yourself from the cancer. Same with everyone else. However, the difficulty comes in when you feel like you need these people (or they need you...or both) and how to untie yourself from them. That's the ridiculously hard part to conquer.
Let me give you some examples of people I've had to disconnect from because they were throwing the balance of my personal and business life:
1) My dad: Every single time I've let him into my company as an employee, he's taken full advantage and began embezzling from me. With that side, his energy levels are so "needy" that he also starts to affect the overall business with his negative belief systems. So, each time when letting him go, I was able to "lighten" the energy and all business procedures and profits would resume back to normal, almost instantly.
2) My brother: Need I say more? He's a walking disaster and I'm really glad there's a lot of physical space between us. The good news is that he's actually realizing that he's been a deadbeat this whole time and he finally got a job. This would be the first job for... who the hell knows how long it's been?! It's just say that it's been longer than a decade since I last remember him working somewhere. He starts this new job on Monday. (I'm proud of him. This is where HIS energy will start to change and his life will only get better from here on out.)
3) My (former) step-son: This 20-year-old kid moved in with me last December. Come to think of it, within days of his arrival, everything started going to hell in a hand-basket. is yet another dependent man (who keeps calling himself a "man" but isn't yet) and part of my lesson in this is to stop being a doormat and to stop "raising" grown men. His lesson will be that he'll have to learn how to survive as an adult because he's getting kicked out in August of this year.
4) The college girl from earlier this year: I had this college chick stay with me (from Michigan) for what was supposed to be 6 weeks. Right when she moved in (on February 29th), she told me she changed the plans and was going to stay through the summer and into the fall. For anyone who knows me, you DON'T change MY plans...EVER!! So, we instantly got off on the wrong foot and I (patiently) waited for her to finish her "Semester in L.A." program (for her B.A. degree) then told her to pack her sh** and get the f*** out. Her leaving alleviated a lot of the "downer" energy that seemed to swirl around her rather uniquely demonic and weirdo personality. (She reminded me of a witch in disguise.)
5) And a SLEW of people who got fired in the past 12 months: Just like this last firing, there have been many others. People sometimes show great charm while lying through their teeth about their job qualifications. Then they turn into a completely different person the second they start. I simply don't have the energy to deal with it anymore.
And I won't put up with it.
You shouldn't either.
Life is getting more and more challenging. You don't need any single individual "rocking the boat" of your life. They can do great damage and rather quickly if you don't throw them overboard as soon as you notice that they're not good for you and that they're causing stress/strain in your life. Out they go. Otherwise YOU will sink with the ship you you don't give them the boot.
The other day I was explaining to my young daughter that things in her generation are vastly different than when I was her age. I explained that "back in the day" we didn't need TSA at airports. In fact, there wasn't much for security and you could basically just walk on a plane...with anything. People didn't ram planes into buildings or blow people up in airports. Things were...different then.
But she said, "But it's good that we have all this security and protection now, right?"
And I replied, "Well, no. It isn't. I'd rather be back in a time when we DIDN'T need these things because back then the world wasn't so violent. I'd rather do without the protection because we don't need it rather than having the protection because everyone wants to kill us."
I don't think she understood. Because unfortunately the world she exists in REQUIRES this protection. It REQUIRES a military. It REQUIRES going to great lengths for safety. And she's already used to it yet she's not even 8 years old.
Those of us who got a short (or longer) introduction from birth into a world that was much more innocent...we know what it was like to NOT have to have all of these "layers" needed to protect us. So, these times are particularly sad for us because we remember what that was like and we can compare it to how things are now. And it's only getting worse and will continue to do so until our life expires on this planet.
With that said, may today be the day that we honor those who signed up to take on this difficult job of protecting us from those who don't have our best interests at heart, against those who live and die to harm us. And gave up their lives in the process. For if it wasn't for these men and women, we wouldn't be able to enjoy our relatively safe, secure, and awesome lives that we have now.
There's always reason that someone would invite me out to lunch. And by now you'd think I'd know better, right?
So, earlier this week my attorney asked me to lunch to "catch up" and "chat" about this or that. But, in reality, there was a completely different reason he wanted to "chat" with me. Sure, it started out with small talk. It always does. But very quickly he started picking my brain on Internet marketing and what I thought about an online business opportunity he's been working on for the past 6 months.
You see, a little more than a week ago crowd funding for real estate to allow non-accredited investors to invest just opened up. (I didn't know this but he informed me that this is what has happened.) So, this opens up the playing field for those who have website portals to raise money even faster for real estate deals including buy-and-hold, flips, you name it. Real estate funding and raising capital via these websites has become much easier due to the lightening of SEC regulations because now any "Average Joe" can put up funding for posted real estate deals instead of it being restricted to accredited investors only.
So, my attorney was talking about wanting to compete in this space...having a website portal to be the liaison between money investors and real estate investors, if that makes sense. After he was explaining the layer upon layer upon layer of legal registration and implementation requirements not to mention the ever-changing laws, I started getting a headache and finally told him, "I wouldn't do it if I were you."
"Why not?" he asked.
"Well, having locked horns with the government several times, let me 'school' you on how working with a closely-linked highly-regulating government agency works. And if they want to sink their teeth into you, they will. You'll have no legal recourse except to fight it out in court until you want to jump off a bridge...because their only legal strategy is to wear you down over multiple years in court since many of them really have no legal bearing in which to sue you. When you get big and if they don't like what you're doing, even if you're doing it legally, they'll find something to get you on. Any company with a portal of hundreds of millions of dollars going through it is always going to be on the immediate radar of the SEC."
I hated to be the one to suck all of his enthusiasm out of him within one fell swoop but...he needed to hear the reality of the situation. I continued...
"Making money is too easy selling run-of-the-mill products. Why legally and financially risk everything when you don't have to?"
He explained that he wanted to build something "big" and create a legacy and yada, yada, yada...all ego-driven nonsense. Who cares? He has a young son who just turned 4 and his wife is 2 months pregnant with Baby #2. At some point you have to hang up risky ego-driven goals and find something more suitable for a more balanced risk/reward ratio calculation in your life, if you know what I mean. After all, when you're lying on your death bed, nobody ever wishes they made more money or wasted more time at the office hustling up a legacy to get on the cover of Fortune Magazine. Everyone, undoubtedly, wishes they spent more time watching their kids grow up.
By the time everything was said and done, I had him on track in putting together his own money funnel for lawyers, selling high-priced marketing courses to other attorneys wanting to start a private practice which he seemed really excited about. (Hey, I'm not just a dream-killer. I come up with BETTER options instead!) All within 90 minutes.
Yes, I'm pretty good at what I do otherwise I wouldn't have one of the brightest attorneys I've ever met asking ME for advice on what his next profitable business move should be.
I'm very good at talking with someone who has a solid business idea, breaking it down, analyzing all of the pieces, and then spitting out the best prognosis imaginable, turning a mediocre plan into an exceptionally profitable business empire.
Now it's YOUR turn to get my advice.
I just got the edited videos from my 2 1/2 day event in Vegas where I fleshed out the most profitable blueprints for making tons of money with your own money funnel business. I even worked on 2 "case studies" live in our "mastermind" seminar group for the first time ever. And yes, it was just as powerful as you could probably imagine as I took 2 mediocre ideas and fleshed them both out to million-dollar proportions within only mere minutes. By watching this part of the videos, you will easily be able to gain the skill set needed in doing this for your own brilliant entrepreneurial ideas because it's pretty easy once you understand the mechanics behind doing it.
What's awesome about this event is that I take my students on a ride from the very beginning (pretending as if you're starting with no knowledge at all) and quickly ramping up through my most advanced million-dollar distribution strategies that can help you quickly build up a multi-million-dollar money funnel profit center.
And I did this all in 2 1/2 days.
You'll be able to see everything and get every single ounce of information including all of the seminar materials (delivered on CD-ROM) plus a powerful $397 bonus for the first 21 students who take me up on this offer. AND you'll even get clones of my hottest money funnels including a BRAND NEW ONE that I just developed a few days ago! This is all included as my special fast-acting bonus set.
P.S. You can keep making excuses for why you don't have the financial life you've always talked about...or you can get educated and start implementing a specific step-by-step blueprint to start raking in the money you deserve. It's your choice.
Yesterday I donated all of my suits to a transitional house for women coming out of battered/abusive relationships. I donated every suit...except for one. The last one I wore in Vegas when I did my last seminar event was the lucky keeper. I decided to keep it...for old time's sake. Or in case I need it for court. Or a funeral. Or just to let it collect dust. For now anyway.
During my Vegas event, I had a hard time getting through. I was kind of under the weather and I realized then and there that I don't want to give up any more time with my daughter doing these events out of state. So, that's it. I just completed my last seminar event. And I'm across between freaking out and being thoroughly elated. The final emotion hasn't landed yet. I'll keep you posted when it finally does.
But I went out with a bang. That's for sure. This Vegas Money Funnel Event was truly amazing. Much better than the event in March, hands down. Maybe it's because I perfected it. Or maybe because I added a whole new element for the "advanced" Money Funnel Strategies, never before revealed to anyone until this event. In fact, one specific strategy was so exclusive that I actually kept it from someone who had been hounding me for this one ground-breaking strategy on mass market distribution...for TWO MONTHS since I discovered it. I made him wait until the second day of the event when I revealed it...and he sat there listening intently, jaw agape when I finally revealed it. Yes, it was THAT powerful. So powerful that you could hear a pin drop in the room when I was slowly divulging the details of this mind-blowing strategy.
And I just got the videos delivered to my office yesterday afternoon. They're being duplicated now and will be ready for our first shipments by Thursday of this week.
I warn you though. This stuff is for serious die-hards who are fullycommitted to understanding and implementing the Money Funnel Strategies, starting from the most basic elements all the way through large-scale multi-million-dollar secrets that I've never told my students about before this event. This is NOT for tire-kickers, people who merely talk about success but never get around to doing it (until "someday" comes), or people who don't want to roll up their sleeves to get their new business going. No, this is definitely not for that crowd. It's only for those of you who are ready for the utmost powerful strategies that will bowl you over like nothing else will. Guaranteed.
I want you to check out my short audio seminar and then scroll down to the very bottom where you'll watch some of my testimonials from this amazing event. CLICK HERE or visit http://www.monicamain.com/vegas_2016_videos right now!
I know for me, the older I get the more I think of death and dying. I know. It's not exactly a cheery subject. But there's a reason it's on my mind, especially today: Mother's Day. It's because it's been almost 11 years since my mother passed away. And I realize that it's because of her absence in my life that is the core of my constant "missing-ness" I feel in my heart.
My mom died at 52 of brain cancer. (This picture was taken 18 months before her death at my wedding reception.) Just today I was thinking about how I'll feel in 10 years from now when I turn 52...and I'm already wondering if this will be a "hell year" for me (in 2026) because I'll wonder if I'll actually "cross the line" and exceed my mom's lifespan. Or not. I know...crazy thinking, isn't it? Except that I'm pretty sure most everything thinks this way, especially if your parent or loved one died young. You have to wonder when you get to the age they died...how things will turn out for you. Except I'm different because I plan "in advance" a lot. In this case, this advance planning is 10 years premature.
For those of you who still have your mother, give her lots of hugs and kisses. And for those of you who are mothers, just know that you are blessed with the most important role in the world. You make the world go around.
Well, it's official. It's down to Donald Trump running on the Republican side. I'm not going to say anything else. Just thought I'd inform you...in case you didn't know.
Now, to be clear, I love the United States. I'm an American and, like most Americans, I believe in my country. I've made a lot of money here. And I love the opportunity that is afforded to those of us who want to get off our asses to work and to take advantage of these opportunities.
But...I have some "issues" and "grave concerns" about our current and future economy. Here's why:
1) Years ago, Obama had thrown out some rhetoric about bringing "manufacturing back into America." Trump has claimed the same thing in recent months. While it's a nice theory, it's just not possible, especially with rising minimum wage, health insurance requirements for companies of a certain size (by amount of employees on staff), competing with the ultra-cheap labor in Asia, and the ever-growing amounts of lawsuits against American companies for a variety of reasons including from employees or consumers, making it very difficult (and next to impossible) to grow a large company here in the USA. If you think this theory of making anything can be a reality, try opening the doors of your manufacturing plant and see what happens. This is the part NOBODY will tell you which is a cold, hard reality of having a business here, ESPECIALLY if you want to make something in the "manufacturing" space: getting and keeping insurance. This is not something your Paycheck Charlie knows anything about and it's certainly not any politician will clue you in about because...well, they simply don't know about this "little" manufacturing in the USA obstacle. You see, recently I went into a new company launch mode where I was sitting on the fence about whether I'd actually manufacture my product or not. Turns out that when you actually want to make something in this country, especially something that is on the "consumable" level, your insurance goes through the roof...IF you can even find someone to insure you at all! Yes, this is one of these "hidden secrets" behind trying to kick-start your American manufacturing company. If you're "lucky," someone will insure you, starting off with a policy that will run you about $2,000 to $3,000 a month for coverage. As you grow into a mid-sized manufacturing company, you're looking at $20,000+ per month in insurance. And this is WHEN you can finally find someone who won't laugh you out of their insurance office. "You want a policy for what? Making something? Hahahahahahhahahahahah!!" (This has actually happened to me several times so, in no way am I exaggerating!)
2) Things are getting tight in China. They've been quickly sliding into an economic black hole for the past couple of years and it's only a matter of time before we feel the economic "quake" on our side of the map. Some economists are calling this the "second bubble." I don't think it's quite as dooms-worthy as some might guess it'll be but it does help to stay alert and on guard. For me, I can actually see opportunity in this. Since I use China for printing and packaging, I'm finding that they are starting to feel the squeeze in their economic crisis so when I make it clear on what I'm willing to pay for a project, I will get my price. They know how easy it is to go to another vendor since they are a dime a dozen. And they'll take any job just to keep some type of cash flow coming in. However, they haven't experienced their all-out crash yet and it's only a matter of time. Since much of our borrowing and loans was with Asia, namely China, it only makes you wonder where we're going to get loans now since they're not going to be in the market to lend for awhile. And, as you know, our country relies heavily on credit.
I was just watching Clinton talk about jobs and schools and a bunch of other crap that nobody can realistically promise and follow through with. All these politicians...they're the exact same, just in different skin and clothes. They promise things to get elected and don't follow through. This is why I tell my students over and over and over again...you can't wait for some politician to make your dreams come true, otherwise you'll be getting old and gray (and will die) before someone else (other than yourself) is going to look out for your well-being. YOU must look out for yourself and your family. An elected official will never care about you or do anything for your family.
So...the next question needs to be, what have you been doing for yourself and your financial future lately? Or are you a fool, waiting around for our next president to come in and whip out a magic wand to make your life perfect for the first time ever?
Stop dreaming and start focusing, damn it! Otherwise nothing in your life is ever going to change. Hoping and praying without any action on your part will get you exactly this: NOTHING. So, let's talk about what you need to be doing if you really want to whip your ass into gear and start getting what you want in life.
If this "second bubble" bursts, banks will tighten back up on personal credit lending, loans, and unsecured credit again. What they DIDN'T draw back on was commercial and business credit, even during our worst recent economic year (of 2008). In preparation for this, you really need to get your business/corporate credit rolling if you want money to start a business or invest in real estate...or both. Not only will you be able to gain much more in unsecured credit than if you were applying as an individual but the banks won't stop lending this type of cash to businesses, even if the going gets tough again with our economy.
In order to get the maximum amount of money possible for your unsecured business credit, you need to get that personal credit mid-FICO at or above 720. If it's not there, getting this unsecured business credit just won't happen the way you want it to. Yes, you'll be able to get some credit here and there but it won't be hundreds of thousands of dollars. You'll be able to get about $10,000 here and $25,000 there. But that'll be it...UNTIL you get that mid-FICO at or above that 720 mark.
For any of you who are NOT at that 720 mid-FICO score, CLICK HERE. I have the ultimate solution for you. (This will blow your mind!)
