If you think residential real estate is cool,
just wait till you find out what you can do with
commercial!

Tomorrow night, Thursday, March 27, John Childers
will tell you how years ago, one good mentor took
him from being broke to becoming a millionaire in
just 3 years.

John will be one of our guest experts at our upcoming
Real Estate Seminar for families in Huntsville,
Alabama on April 11-13.

http://www.RealEstateDays.com

There, he will also teach about Asset Protection and structuring your entities correctly. (His son is an
attorney.)

If you are planning to attend this once-in-a-lifetime
event but haven't registered yet, make sure to reserve
your hotel room before Friday.

I think there are only two rooms left in our block so
if you are still thinking about coming, make sure you
grab a room ASAP.

(And yes, you definitely want to stay IN the hotel
where the conference takes place.)

There are no other hotels in the area and the Holiday
Inn, where the event will take place, is in the parking
lot of the Madison Square Mall in walking distance to
Circuit City, Best Buy, Longhorn Steakhouse, Macaroni
Grill, Barnes and Nobles and the food court in the mall ...
not to mention, the MALL!

We are never hosting another real estate event so if you

real successful godly, Christian mentors, here is your opportunity!

Attend a Live Event with Your Teens

People ask me all the time about how we homeschool. They want to know the “secret of success” that not only launched Drew into his career but that creates that bond between a parent and a teen.

Well, here it is in a nutshell:

Do cool stuff with them.

So many moms (with perfectionist mindsets) try to do everything FOR their kids. They give them all the best toys and clothes, sign them up for all the best classes, and expect them to do all their academic lessons perfectly.

I have found that kids often prefer to stay home more and work on lots of messy projects with just mom or dad.

At least that’s what my kids told me when we moved to the country and I finally started listening to them.

Here’s an example.

Drew has just finished building his house about 30 minutes down the road. He recruited three of his brothers, one sister and his dad to help. He also hired contractors for jobs he doesn’t like or know how to do.

Now he’s ready to start speaking at real estate conferences to teach how he sells houses on eBay. (He’s sold about 50 and is the only teacher I know who is doing what he does.)

So even though he hasn’t been to a conference in a long time, he asked me to go with him to one today.

When your 26-year-old asks you to go somewhere with him, that’s a good thing. So even though I’m already very busy, I’m going.

I consider one-on-one time away from home with a teen or young adult, the same as seeking the privacy of your bedroom to nurse your newborn. Both have special needs and both will grow out of the stage they’re in way too soon so I cherish that stage while they are there. And I try to meet their needs as quickly and as efficiently as I can.

The problem with attending a professional event is finding one that is family-friendly where teens are welcomed. That’s why my team and I have created the events we host.

The only real estate event we may ever host is coming up this April 11-13, 2008.

If you would like to go on what has been called “the ultimate field trip” with one or two of your teens and learn how to invest in real estate at the same time, consider joining us at our Real Estate Conference in Huntsville, Alabama.

This is real education. They don’t teach this stuff in school but you can write it in your journal.

Just call it Business: Real Estate Investing. It’s worth about ½ to 1 credit.

It could also make you and your teens financially free.

At least you’ll learn how to buy and sell a house and that alone could save you or even make you tens of thousands of dollars.

But here’s the main reason.

The experience you have with whoever you take on that trip will strengthen your relationship. Talk about what you like. Talk about what you don’t like. Talk about the future.

At least talk!

Years from now, you will both look back at that weekend where memories were set in stone and you’ll thank God that you invested the time and effort to work it in to your very busy life.

Besides all that, it could just change your life.

Make sure you say hey to Drew when you get there!

So many books, so little time...

Rhea!

Start Your Own Sponsorship Business

Would you like to get paid (very well) to find sponsors for other businesses or charities?

Did you know that companies spend over $13.39 billion every year sponsoring businesses, events, and promotions?

Linda Hollander is a dear friend of mine who trains people to tap into the awesome power of corporate sponsors. With 20 years of business experience, she knows what she is doing.

Her corporate sponsors are companies like Citibank, Fed Ex, Health Net, American Airlines, Bank of America, Staples, Wal-Mart/Sam's Club, Omega World Travel and IBM.

I have been working with her to help me find sponsors for our ongoing projects. So she has recommended that I help some folks get trained.

She will be teaching a 4 week tele-class about Attracting Corporate Sponsorships in February and I want to hire an independent contractor who takes her class.

I need a sponsorship expert and I can’t find one.

This is not a job for the timid. You have to be able to sell and close. If you are self motivated and are looking for a very lucrative job that you can do from home that offers serious commissions, don’t miss my call with Linda this week.

Linda will be my guest on the phone this Tuesday, February 5 at 9 PM Eastern Time.

The number to call is 605-475-4150

If you are ready to learn how you can earn huge commissions in this industry, don’t miss this call!

Her 8 week class will cover all the basics and will start in February.

This is a family class so everyone in the house can participate.

It’s a Boy!

You know how antsy an overdue mother-to-be can feel. Well, it’s just as bad for an overdue grandmother-to-be!

My oldest son Drew and his wife Carol waited patiently for the arrival of their first child and he took his time getting here as most babies do!

(I didn’t wait so patiently!)

Elijah Wayne Perry was born last Monday, January 28 at 10 AM. He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz.

Carol had a marvelous water birth with no complications and has been cared for by many, many “moms!”

Keeping All the Plates Spinning

People ask me all the time, “How do you do all that you do?”

Well, it’s not easy.

It takes organization and I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to sorting stuff.

So here’s what I do.

At night, I write down the next day’s To Do List in my daytimer. That way I don’t worry about them all night.

If something keeps me awake, I turn on the light and enter in the appropriate place to be acted on in my daytimer.

Then the next day, I spend the first part of the day going to God. I talk to God, I praise Him, and thank Him for all He has done, is doing and will do on the earth.

Unless it’s deer season, I walk in the woods with the dog. I spend the early morning listening to the wind in the leaves, the birds in the trees and the voice of God in my heart.

I read my Bible and God gives me more tasks to accomplish.

It doesn’t matter if some tasks are business-related and some concern the family. I put all the appointments, classes, lessons outside the home and conference calls on the schedule.

Then I walk through them one at a time.

I also prioritize them with family first, then business. The Lord may give you several different assignments so don’t frustrate yourself by trying to keep each duty in your life separated into nice neat little categories.

If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, learn to keep all the plates spinning all at the same time.

You can do it! You are created in God’s image. You are a multi-faceted organizational machine!

If you get overwhelmed (and everyone does at times), just pray to God and tell Him you can’t do all this by yourself. If He doesn’t help, you can’t do it.

That’s the grace of God.

So go for it!

And make 2008 the year you watch God change your life.

So many books, so little time...

Rhea!

We’re Getting a Baby!

Carol , my oldest son Drew’s wife, is due to have their first baby this week and I can’t wait!
They’re hoping for a boy but will be happy either way.

My oldest daughter was just here this morning with her 2-month old baby who is starting to coo and smile.

I think babies are so wonderful!

When I look at the face of my granddaughter, I just marvel at this creation that looks so much like her parents. There’s just nothing like it in all the world.

When I was down at the creek a few months ago, the Lord spoke to me
and told me to tell you something.

Basically he said, “When I look at my children, I adore them like a newborn baby.”

Too often, we feel like God doesn’t care about us.
We think He’s “out there somewhere” and we’re just toughing life out here by ourselves.

Well, that’s just not true. It can’t be.

When you look at the whole process of birth, you are experiencing a miracle.

When you look you at the face of a baby, you are glimpsing the work of God.

And that’s how God looks at us. He loves us. He wants the best for us. He wants us to look to Him for everything just like a baby looks to his mother.

If you are in a hard place, realize this.

God really does love you.

He really is taking care of you even though you don’t always feel it.

Look to Him to guide and direct you and to help you find that one single purpose in life that you were put here to fulfill.

And when you find it, you will find contentment in the work of your hands.

And you will know that He loves you.

Just like a brand new baby.

So many books, so little time...
Rhea!

Want to learn how to invest in real estate using the power of the Internet?

Well, not all real estate investors know how. Way too many are still doing it the old-fashioned way. The hard way.

They’ve made the mistakes and learned the lessons and now are ready to teach others.

So my team and I are hosting a live 3-day real estate event where you can bring the kids to learn about a variety of ways to invest in real estate.

The dates are April 11-13, 2008

We’ll send details soon. Just plan now to be there.

Don’t Just Sit There, Do Something!

People email me all the time and say the same thing:

“I’ve been reading about having a home business for a week now and I haven’t made any money at all. It must be a scam.”

Well, that’s a slight exaggeration, of course. But here’s the deal.

In the Bible, Paul told the Romans, “It is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.”

Now we know that Paul says later that we are not justified with God by works of the Law but by the grace of God. Jesus died on the cross, took Sin to Hell, and came back to life on the third day so that we can have access to God the Father.

When we accept Jesus and what He did on earth as the son of God, that gives us acceptance with God.

There’s nothing we can “do” to get in good with God. That’s what grace is.

But in this verse lies one key to success.

You just can’t listen and think you’re going to be successful at anything. You have to be engaged.

Purchasing an educational course isn’t enough. You have to open it, read it, try it and keep going when it looks like it isn’t working.

Those who succeed in anything are those who never quit.

They look at problems as challenges and ask themselves how they can solve them.

They don’t let details stop them.

Creating a successful business takes longer than most folks think it will. Most “overnight successes” took years to create.

In America, we have been educated with an employee mindset to think that jobs and money will be handed to us in exchange for a few hours of work.

Developing the mindset of an entrepreneur who no longer exchanges his hours for dollars, but learns to create products, systems, and streams of income, requires a huge learning curve.

And part of the problem is this: nobody ever teaches us this stuff.

So not only are you suffering from lack of education to be able to create and operate a small business, but you also have to overcome the handicap of starting with the wrong mindset.

Not to worry. Whatever God calls you to do, He will equip you to do.

So once you’ve discovered the education you don’t have yet need, get it.

Then don’t just read it. Do it.

Figure out how to make it work for you and your family.

Hey, it took years to get where you are. Making a major change isn’t going to happen overnight.

Most folks go to college for 4 or 5 or even 6 years to get a job making $40k to $100k per year.

If you focus on building your own business, eventually, you can learn how to make that in one day!

Don’t laugh. With the Internet, it’s very possible.

You only fail when you give up and quit.

So decide now, that you are going to do whatever it takes to take back control of your life.

Don’t just listen, take action and don’t quit!

So many books, so little time...

Rhea!

P.S. You are welcome to forward this note to your friends.

P.P.S. Watch for more news next Friday!

Life is always busy this time of the year but hey, it’s great to
realize one thing.

No matter how commercial all this has become and no matter what
you think about Christmas, all of America is focused on
celebrating the birthday of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Amazing, isn’t it!

So many books, so little time...

If one of your goals for 2008 is to structure your family for
financial security, listen to this story.

Several years ago, we helped Dave Mitchell establish a successful
audio recording business from his home in Tennessee. He left his
job in corporate America to be at home to work with his wife Kay
and to help her educate their six boys.

In February, Dave, a very godly man, became ill.

In April, he died.

He was only 50.

I still can’t think about him without crying. He was such a great
guy and everybody loved him.

But here’s what I choose to remember.

When Dave went on to be with Jesus, he left Kay and the boys a
steady income and a thriving business that they continue to
operate without him.

If Dave had not stepped out in faith and created
RecordedMoments.com, Kay and the boys would be starting over from
scratch.

This year, as you consider making your New Year’s resolutions and
changes to your life, think about Dave. Ask yourself if your
spouse would be okay financially without you.

It’s stories like Dave’s that inspire me to keep doing what we do.

If Moses Delegated, So Should You!

Or

2 Reasons to Quit Being a Control Freak

Have you ever felt that you were led by God (or your boss at work … or your spouse) to do a good thing but before long, you felt like the burden was just too great to bear?

I have.

You know you’re doing something that is very necessary and you know others are counting on you, but you find yourself thinking way too often, “It’s too much to handle.”

Well, if that’s where you are, you are in good company. Moses found himself in the same situation.

God told him to judge the actions of the Israelites so he did. Every day, he would sit to judge the people from “morning until night” and tell them if what they were doing was right or wrong according to God’s ways. They were all dependent on him.

(And Moses was in training for reigning in heaven.)

Then his father-in-law Jethro came along one day and said, “What are you doing? You are going to

1. Wear out yourself

2. Wear out the people (They are going to get tired of you.)”

So Jethro said, “Represent the people before God and bring their cases before Him. Also,

1. teach the people the decrees and laws

2. show them the way they must walk

3. show them the work they must do

“Choose able men, God-fearing men of truth who hate unjust gain and place them over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens to be their rulers. And let them judge the people at all times.”

So he did.

Now, let’s look at this situation.

* Moses took his assignment seriously and didn’t even consider asking anyone else to help.

Ever done that?

* The people didn’t know the law and weren’t trained to do their jobs because they looked to Moses for all leadership.

Ever done it all yourself because it was “easier”?

* Even though Moses was God’s man at the time, his father-in-law had vision for his life that he didn’t have.

Ever been blind about matters in your own life even though it’s easy to see what others should do?

* When the judges started helping Moses, more than likely they felt the sense of purpose that comes when a person contributes to an important project.

Ever been guilty of robbing others of that inner satisfaction because you didn’t let them help?

Think about how these concepts could apply in your situation with your children or with the people you work with or in other organizations.

Too often, we perfectionists carry all the burdens of a project we believe we have been given from God and try do it all ourselves. When others ask if they can help, we say, “No, we’re good.”

We don’t realize that, like Moses, we will wear ourselves out doing good works while robbing others of the blessing and satisfaction that comes with contributing to an important project.

Our purpose as leaders or parents then is to train those around us to do their part so they can help with the larger project, not just do it all ourselves.

Our goal is to create a light in the eyes of those we are responsible to train.

When you see the light that comes from a deep inner satisfaction in someone you’ve invested in by training, you have succeeded. You have done your job. You have accomplished the main goal.

So, work to create light in the eyes of others.

You might just discover that someone else can do that job just as well … or maybe even better…than you!

And you won’t go to bed as tired anymore.

So many books, so little time...

Rhea!

who is always trying to create ways to help you!

In March, 2002, we started the Entrepreneurs at Home Yahoo! Group
so “young entrepreneurs could share philosophies, project ideas,
successes, and questions.”

It made history when a one-day meeting at my farm years ago turned
into an annual international family business conference!

This week, it will once again make history as the group itself
changes.

My new joint venture partner and I will give you all the details
about how this can benefit YOU on our regular call Tuesday.

Sharyn Law-Davis is a homeschool mom originally from Australia but
is currently living in Saudi Arabia where her husband is
stationed.

She and I can’t wait to share the details with you!

Our motto is still: “If you don't think like the rest of the world
and if you plan to do something real with your life, have we got a
discussion group for you!”

So if you want to learn how this can benefit you and your family
financially, plan to join us on the phone.

The call is Tuesday, Dec.11 at 9 PM Eastern. (It will be about
3 AM for Sharyn but she’ll be there!)

The number to call is 605-475-4150

The passcode is 42037#

If you want to watch history being made again, join us! We’ll talk
to you then!

So many books, so little time...

Rhea!
who can’t believe she didn’t do this sooner!
