I think people have been wondering why I've been on and off the fence on teaching real estate investing strategies for the past couple of years now.  Well, to be honest, there have been quite a few moments of sheer wanting-to-jump-off-a-bridge frustration when trying to teach these strategies because sometimes they're not as simple as 1-2-3.  There's something called a PROCESS that must be utilized and followed with precision to do well as a real estate investor.  While I teach these PRECISE blueprints to my students, many times I feel like I'm dealing with the bottom-of-the-barrel lower-echelon folks who want this to be as easy as SOMEBODY ELSE doing ALL the work while they sit on their ass watching TV to collect huge checks...and that ain't how it works in ANY legitimate business.

For example, more than a few years ago I had somebody buy my Apartment Building Cash Flow System (now called Apartment Riches).  Nine days later he returned it (one of the VERY RARE returns we get) with the complaint that he didn't make millions in that 9-day time-frame so he thought it was a "scam" because of it.

Listen, people.  Anyone who tells you that you CAN make millions in real estate in just 9 days IS running a scam.  (You can't even close on your first apartment building in 9 days...even if you're paying 100% cash after finding your first deal on Day One!)  And if you're dumb enough to believe it then you deserve to be robbed of your hard-earned money.

Real estate investing is an ART just like balancing ANY business is.  And it's also a PROCESS of STEPS that MUST be completed WITH SKILL if you are to become successful doing this.  No exceptions.  Remember, anything worthwhile to YOU and to your bank account ideally will be a process so that you can simply wash, rinse...and repeat as many times as you want to make as much money as you want.

Only YOU know if this is the type of business YOU want to be in.  I cannot personally answer that question for you, which is a question I frequently get via email...going something a little like this:  "What kind of real estate do you think I should get into?" Hmmm...How the hell should I know?  I know what type of real estate I like to invest in but that only applies to ME.  I have no idea what type YOU will like to invest in.  Maybe you should try out different types of investing AND businesses to see what YOU will like.  Maybe real estate isn't your thing at all.  Maybe it's some type of online business.  You won't know until you try some things out for size.

Take a look at one of my long-time students, Ben, and the email he just sent to me:

"Hi Monica,
I have to take this time and pay you much appreciation for opening my eyes and providing me the confidence to reach financial freedom! Your no non-sense advice has really guided and just yesterday, I calmly told my Boss that I will no longer offer my services as the Lead Cosmic Origins Spectrograph Engineer for Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope Program! I can honestly say that I am only coming to work the next few months out of respect for my managers to train my replacement and to satisfy my personal desire to contribute to the science community.

Since attending your Multifamily Apartment Seminar in Detroit in Nov 2014, I really applied your teachings and came back to Washington DC fired up!! The next 12 months I raised private money, flipped 12 homes and kept pushing for more. One day I realized the system I developed that allowed me to flip houses while also maintaining a challenging career with NASA, was the same system I could use to develop multi-million dollar deals. And your training on obtaining aggressive income to do larger real estate deals was key! Direct Marketing wasnt my thing but I did push me to find a sweet niche converting 3-level townhomes into two, 2-level high end luxury condominiums on Capitol Hill. Also from your mentorships on researching markets to purchase apartments, I found myself very attracted to Tampa's economy ... so I jumped on a plane every other weekend and started building duplexes in Tampa in 2016. Concurrently I only focused on small development deals in DC as they grossed over 1.5M each! And each door I built in Tampa was netting over $500 each! 

And now I've surpassed my financial freedom point with passive income and have enough cash and credit to build my own apartments from scratch! More importantly, I have my freedom to enjoy my family and experience life with no boundaries.

As you know I'm not the most vocal person but I had to take this time to appreciate the knowledge and confidence you instilled in me to break this rat race! My next goal is to break the 100M mark so I can double back to help sponsor SpaceX to reach Mars and help humans travel our solar system! 

Many Thanks Monica and See You at the Top!

Another successful student,  
Ben"

Amazing testimonial, don't you think?  One of the best I've gotten.  Yes, I get these types of testimonials regularly but this one really touched my heart.  Ben has been a student of mine for years.  He's tried out different things, "hit" one something he really likes that he's GOOD at and that he's making a ton of money doing.  But the only way to know what "fits" you is by trying things on for size!

And it's the testimonials like THESE that keep me in the training and teaching game because it makes it so gratifying for me to get these emails!

With that said, for those of you who have been wondering what I'll be doing with Aggressive vs. Passive Income, I kind of mentioned it before in a brief fleeting moment but 2018 is when I'll be focusing almost exclusively on Passive Income Strategies (with some Aggressive real estate stuff thrown in between).  What happened to the Aggressive Income Business Strategies?  I'm doing ONE LAST WORKSHOP for my Money Funnel 2.0 Strategies in late September (CLICK HERE for more information) plus a mentorship that starts in early September (more info to come on that)...and THAT'S IT for awhile non-real estate Aggressive Income Strategies for reasons that I don't want to bore you with now but mostly having to do with the amount of energy it takes for me to teach something so highly profitable with such precision that it's taking away time for me trying to focus on MY Aggressive and Passive Income Businesses.  So...CUTS have to be made with how I spend my time and this is how the cuts are slicing out.

This is why you're seeing new activity on the real estate front from me since this is where my main focus will lie post-September 2017 and through 2018.  (CLICK HERE for the latest and greatest including the VERY RARE opportunity to get money from my investor for your deals).   Why?  Because NOW is when you should get started in this WHILE we're at a market "stand-still" by making your money connections, staking your claim in a specific area of the country, finding out which TYPE of real estate you'd like to become an amazing investor at...START NOW instead of later when everyone will be running around like a chicken with their head cut off because they won't know how to get money, where to start, what to do...all while the deals are flowing around them like snowflakes in a winter storm.  If you don't have it all lined up NOW and get involved NOW then by the time all the "action" starts hitting, you won't be anywhere near prepared to take advantage of these opportunities...kind of like how many of you were ill-prepared during the LAST recession which is why most of you have no properties from a time when we had the LOWEST property prices with the LOWEST interest rates in American history.  BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT PREPARED!

Time to change that NOW.  CLICK HERE.  No more excuses.  You either DO THIS or you don't.  Your choice.

I just got off the phone with my investor partner -- the one that's done OVER 100 DEALS with my students since this past August -- and he wants more deals.  Why?  Because truth be told, INVENTORY IS TIGHT.  And where he's at now, he can't get anymore deals that are local to him.  (He's actually has 2 areas that he invests heavily in: Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth.)

So...he's reaching out to different areas all over the country to make money on deals nationwide.  And the ONLY way he can do this is by reaching out through other people...people like you...who can access these deals from where you're at.

If you want to find out how you can get both down payments and rehab money for deals that can be either flip properties or buy-and-hold assets, CLICK HERE NOW.  This may be the most important thing you get involved in because it could change everything for you.

P.S.  Thank you for all of you who participated in the Deliberate Manifestation deal where I'll be sending all the proceeds to a grassroots animal rescue organization.  Your book purchase really is helping a lot of animals in need of being medically treated as well as finding new loving homes. Thank you again for caring about these innocent little creatures.  ;-)

The other day I was telling you about Vincent James' $77 Million Manual, how it was riddled with endless amounts of mistakes, English misspellings, grammatical errors, and was very difficult to read because he wrote it within days of being hauled off to prison to do a sentence concerning the mishaps with his company.  What was awesome about this book (if you can still find it anywhere) is that it gives you his EXACT blueprint to create a multi-million-dollar direct mail marketing empire INCLUDING what NOT to do to get into legal trouble like he did.

My point was that, to me, it doesn't matter how many errors there are in a text provided that it's giving me a MAP to become SUPER SUCCESSFUL in whatever I'm reading about.

As the $77 Million Manual did for me.

You see, the part I left out and didn't include is that I DID follow Vincent's advice (with some tweaks and minor changes) and started a company called Brie Labs based on his business model.  And within mere months the company turned into a CASH COW, bringing in millions of dollars based on his basic business structure as he outlined in his manual.

And to think...if I would have discounted his manual because of the misspelled words, grammatical issues, etc...how I would have been running around like the rest of the unsuccessful "perfectionists" who won't dare follow through with ANY book, course, manual or other text that has a single misspelled word or one single grammatical error because, after all, that IS the ONLY reason you're reading a book about business or investing, right?  Because you're trying to play self-appointed editor-and-chief?

This was during my recent rant about how a student sent me an email about how my 100K in 100 Days book was really good but...he noticed some grammatical errors that he wanted to correct for me.  Instead of focusing on the multi-million-dollar MAP that was provided, he decided to complain about a misspelled word and an incorrectly executed sentence.  Unbelievable.  And then it's people like him who wonder why success evades them constantly.  It's because they can't get out of their own way.

What's awesome about what I'm doing now is that I'm teaching my students how to follow MY EXACT blueprint business plan that I've been using for the past several years (since 2011 to be exact) that YOU can now use to build your OWN multi-million-dollar empire using direct mail marketing as the main strategy to bring in droves of orders (and money)!

Recently I finished a 3-day Direct Mail Millionaire Workshop where for 3 solid days I included my most POWERFUL strategies for quickly and effectively building a multi-million-dollar EVERGREEN (meaning it'll last for years without any changes) business.  AND I'm even including 7 of my ACTUAL multi-million-dollar sales letters in Microsoft Word Documents so you can borrow them for your own multi-million-dollar direct mail campaigns.  (I've NEVER given these sales letters to ANYONE and, after this promotion ends, you won't ever be able to get them again!)

CLICK HERE to listen to a 9-minute audio seminar and to see my mind-blowing testimonials from this last event!

Oh...and one more thing:  for those who get the 3-Day Direct Mail Millionaire Workshop Videos, I'm ADDING another bonus where I'll register you in for the 8-week 100% online Money Funnel 2.0 Mentorship Group, starting September 5th.

Just when I think things are "calming down" when it comes to me having to deal with the dumb shits of the world, there are always more dumb shits being ushered in.  I guess I can't relax too much.  After all, with the dumbing down of America at such an ALARMING rate, I can only expect more dumb-shit-ness.  And so can you.

The latest rash of dumb-shitters started last week, both by 2 idiot men who have the SAME NAME of Steve or Steven.  Can't remember which, nor do I care at the moment.  That's besides the point.

So, Steve #1 decides that he is going to try bullying me and my staff for a multi-million-dollar sales letter template that I actually DO HAVE for his own mail order business because in my Direct Mail Millionaire Manual, I said this -- on page 8: "But we'll get into greater detail about what to sell, who to sell it to, and how to make money in this phenomenal business."  So, somehow in Steve's world, this means that I'm supposed to give him my multi-million-dollar stock trading sales letter...except that maybe Steve and I must be reading 2 different sentences here because I'm not reading ANYTHING about how this one sentence entitles Steve to my tested-and-proven successful sales letter.  Except, instead of getting it with my 3-Day Direct Mail Millionaire Workshop Videos (because this ACTUAL tested-and-proven multi-million-dollar trading letter is in the CD-ROM that goes with this video set), he thinks I'm going to give it to him for nothing.  I tell him NO, he can call my staff and get it WITH the purchase of the 3-Day Direct Mail Millionaire Workshop Videos.  So, he calls the office, yelling at my staff about how he thinks he should get it for nothing, then ends up hanging up on them when this immature man-child cry baby didn't get his way.

As a side note, I should mention that the actual sales letter in question is (1) included on the CD-ROM called "Workshop Materials" and is among 7 powerful sales letter templates in Microsoft Word files (which means you can "borrow" them for your own multi-million-dollar mailing campaign...and I've NEVER offered these to anyone before EXCEPT for those who showed up to my workshop)...and these ARE ACTUAL sales letters that have made me MILLIONS in the direct mail business, and (2) can actually be used to make YOU millions in the direct mail business so, to me, there should be NO PRICE that someone wouldn't be willing to pay for something like this, let alone demanding that I email it to him for nothing.  (If someone were giving you this Friday's lottery numbers to guarantee that you'll win millions, wouldn't you expect to pay for these lottery numbers?  And, most importantly, wouldn't you be willing to pay ANY PRICE just to get them?  I know I would!!)

Then there's Steve #2 who offers to correct all the spelling and "grammatical errors" in my best-selling 100K in 100 Days book.  I politely declined, stating that typically when people are so focused on spelling and grammar in a book, they're really not cut out for being successful because they're missing THE POINT OF THE BOOK which is to make you money by offering you a path to financial freedom, not to offer you a "what's-wrong-with-this-spelling-and-grammar" quiz.

Case in point: I remember reading Vincent James' book that he wrote DAYS BEFORE he was hauled off to jail.  He wrote his entire book in a harried state of mind, messing up every bit of grammar, punctuation, and spelling that you can think of.  It was hard to read since there were words all over the place due to his inability to line up his paragraphs correctly.  BUT I DIDN'T CARE when I was reading it.  Why?  Because what he DID DO was spell out EXACTLY WHAT HE DID in the most tightly-knitted manner I've ever seen to tell ANYONE how to make $77 million in only a few years.  AND he even included WHY he got into legal trouble so that nobody else would fall into that legal alligator pit by telling everyone what the mistake was.  So, he essentially gave everyone his entire multi-million-dollar EXACT BLUEPRINT that was chock full of the most powerful business and money-making information I've EVER gotten from any book AND he told everyone how to stay out of legal trouble -- not just with direct mail marketing but with ANY kind of business.  Yet everything was "wrong" with it from an English and grammar perspective not to mention the aesthetics.  But I DIDN'T CARE because that's NOT why I was reading the book.

It's kind of like someone giving you a treasure map to a treasure chest full of gold that is buried somewhere in the mountains close by.  But instead of looking at WHERE the gold is by following WHERE the map is taking you, you're criticizing that some of the words that the person who drew out the map aren't spelled correctly.  Maybe even criticizing the drawing itself.  "This stick man that represents me on the map isn't quite right.  I have straight hair and the stick man has curly hair.  This isn't right!"  So, instead of following the map, you complain about the drawing of the map including the spelling and grammar.  Then you throw the map away, go to Starbucks, and whine about why your life sucks so bad and why you never get any opportunities because "luck" keeps evading you.

If this sounds like you then you're getting in your own way.  Until you get OUT of your own way, you don't have a chance in hell of ever succeeding at ANYTHING at all.  So give up now, while you're ahead.  And recess into that chasm in life that I refer to as Suck-Hole-Land because that's where you're doomed to stay until you die.

But...(your glimmer of hope is here)...

If you really WANT a path and a MAP that can really take you to your financial dreams and beyond -- regardless of the spelling, the grammar, the drawings and graphs, etc. -- then you probably have what it takes to get to where you want to go. You just need the right vehicle to get there.  And...I have just that for you!

CLICK HERE to see what I'm talking about!

And one more thing: I'm getting REALLY SICK of getting these emails from people asking about the "quickest and easiest" way to make "a lot of money" starting with absolutely nothing for financial resources.  First of all, nothing worthwhile is "quick and easy" otherwise EVERYBODY would be doing it and then there would no longer be an opportunity for it anymore, which is why Internet marketing is dying at a rapid rate.  Because EVERYBODY (including Fortune 500 companies) are doing it!  If you want an opportunity that will make you A LOT of money (but will take some work on your part) then CLICK HERE.  This is that precise blueprint MAP that I was telling you about that is about to change absolutely EVERYTHING for you!

And if you're either one of the "Steve" guys that I'm talking about above, you're not allowed to look at this or participate at all...so don't even ask.

See you at the top!

Monica Main
