What a great time to be investing in real estate in Colorado!

January 31, 2008

I just got off the phone with Lloyd Irvin who is my student in real estate investing and I am his student in internet marketing, both of us members of Dan Kennedy’s International Inner Circle Mastermind Group. Lloyd’s business is doing great, just as ours is, and we are now competing as to who can produce more millionaires in real estate and small business development among our students in the next 12 months. I think I have the upper hand because our research shows that Colorado is at the bottom of the market and starting to climb while in Maryland they are still dropping, but in reality a good investor always makes money no matter what the market is doing.
I am amazed at all the negative pr on the economy and real estate prices and the fear it creates in average people and yet at the same time seeing the huge numbers that the serious investors are making right now. I guess it goes back to the basic 80-20 rule that 80% of the wealth is controlled by 20% of the population, so I shouldn’t be surprised that 80% of the people and the media are preaching doom and gloom for the economy and the entire real estate market while the top people are positioning themselves to really build their portfolio over the next 18 months. Those people that strive to be in the top 5% see nothing but blue skies ahead and profits climbing.
I think subconsciously everyone knows that you create wealth by controlling real estate when prices are low, and then reap the profits when the prices get high again. The top 20% understand this and are getting the specialized knowledge to learn how to put as much real estate under their control over the next 18-24 months using tax free accounts, options, buying property own by the banks and working short sales with the banks before foreclosure. Our senior students are getting properties at 30% to 40% below market and many of them no money down.
With a person being able to control properties at such a great rate and at the same time the rental market is fantastic it is amazing to me that everyone is jumping into real estate investing. If you are serious about building your wealth over the next few years and even how to do that on auto-pilot, then mark your calendar for our next Free Real Estate seminar in Colorado Springs. It will take place at 6:30 PM on the 13th of February at our Wealth Academy training center which is located at 4945 30th Street, Suite 100, 80919. Just take Garden of the Gods west from I-25 until you hit 30th street, then turn right and go just past the storage units and pull into the parking lot on the right and go to the building in the rear – 4945.
We will be talking about the local market, the tremendous opportunities and even the marketing and business systems that our inner circle students are using to build their portfolios right now in this market here in Colorado. Our students are doing great up and down the Front Range right now and several of them will be there so that you can network with them and ask questions.
We are not some national real estate coaching program but a local group of private investors that love to network and exchange ideas on what is really working right now in the local market, the strategies and tactics that are working and the local power team members we use to make it happen. As president of the Colorado Springs Association of Real Estate Investors and director of the Southern Colorado Chapter for the Glazer- Kennedy Inner Circle NO BS business success group, we want to offer a networking and educational center at our local Wealth Academy.
Admission is free to the seminar on the 13th but please let us knows if you are planning on coming because space is limited. You can go to our website and register on-line at www.coloradorealestatesecrets.com or give us a call toll free at 1-800-791-0084. If you want to stop by the Wealth Academy we are located at 4945 30th street or call Amanda locally if you have any questions at 719-955-4280.
I look forward to seeing you on the 13th and sharing with you exactly what is working right now in the local market, the numbers and exactly how we are doing it.

To Your Success,
Terry Bryan, President
Colorado Wealth Academy

Business Strategies and Stealth Assassins

January 17, 2008

How a 700 year-old plan of attack can still work for you!

The Ninja of the 14th Century Feudal Japan were known for their unique strategies of stealth, espionage and guerilla warfare. Their methods are traceable to much older Chinese training systems, but the Ninja were legendary because of the contrast between their tactics and the Samurai code of ethics at the time.

Imagine a time where an acceptable means to resolve conflict between rival factions was for the two top Samurai to engage in battle. It was not uncommon for the Ninja to dress up like a woman, sneak into the castle in the middle of the night and assassinate or poison the opponent.

Outrageous? Unorthodox? Unethical?

Maybe… but then again, highly effective.

The key to the Ninja’s success was their comprehensive knowledge of the martial arts combined with the most effective solution to their specific goals at that time, implementing not one, but rather all the tools and resources they had available. Those who understand this dynamic principle have been effective for generations in many areas, including combat, business and investing.

I personally witnessed similar situations many times during my three combat tours in Southeast Asia. Allow me to present one example.

The weapon of choice for the American troops at that time was the M-16 rifle. Although designed for 20 rounds in the magazine, we found that when we used 20 rounds the rifle jammed, which is very frustrating during the heat of battle. The streetwise soldier would instead only load 18 rounds in their gun which tended to decrease the jamming. Those that used 20 rounds would find themselves having to eject rounds and try and get the weapon un-jammed in the middle of a fire fight. The use of 18 rounds instead of 20 is a real life example of using your specific knowledge within a given situation to come up with the best solution, and in this case to stay alive.

On the other side of the battlefield were the Vietcong, who we out gunned and under resourced but had the home court advantage. Using their knowledge and resources, they would search around an area where a firefight had gone on; looking for these extra rounds the America solider had extracted from their rifles. When in possession of these discarded rounds, the VC used them in very creative ways. One method was to take a small bamboo stalk with a nail at the bottom and insert the bullet above the nail then bury this device in the ground so that if you stepped on it then it could go off and injure or kill the soldier stepping on it.

Both of these examples depict a person engaged in combat using their knowledge and resources to the best of their ability to achieve their objectives. Modern Elite American Forces continue to use skills in espionage, stealth and strategic tactics to stay alive and win battles, and they find themselves against opponents that are doing the same.

In business, we see these same tactics being effective on a daily basis. The 800 pound guerrilla company has dollars and market share and is a powerful opposition for a small startup company, but by creating a niche for their marketing the little guy can move quickly and take market share and dominate that special niche.

In days of old, if you had a great idea, within 6 months someone out there was copying you and competing for their market share. Now, with the speed of the internet, this time has been reduced to just a few days. Sometimes you even have copycats within hours or minutes. The successful direct response marketer today has mass media working, but the real substance of the marketing is usually done with direct response targeted marketing that may go unnoticed by the general public. Stealth marketing is indeed alive and well, and some of the most successful entrepreneurs are indeed Ninja marketing experts.

Many people still don’t get it. There are only a few key principles of success and by that very definition; these key principles work all the time, in every situation. Once you learn these key principles, and learn to modify them at any given moment based on the resources available and the specific goals you have set, then you can expect success time and time again.

This is the 5 step process that our Inner Circle uses for success:
1. Know what you want
2. Have a clearly defined and written action plan
3. Continually seek specialized knowledge that is based on proven success principles
4. Take action, quickly and with total commitment
5. Review and renew action plans constantly based on new information gathered from testing

There you have it… the key to black belt excellence… in combat, business and investing. It has worked for thousands of years in combat and currently in marketing in over 150 different niches in business and created multi-millions of dollars for our streetwise investors.

To Your Success,
Terry Bryan
