What You Can Learn from My Visit to A 40,000 Sq ft. Mansion?

I am on the plane writing this. I just got back from spending a few days with some of the top real estate investor/ trainers in America. I was at my friends 40,000 sq foot mansion in Tampa. I don’t know about you, but I have never been in such a big house.
Check it out here:

and see what you can learn from the success secrets shared by 10 multi-millionaire real estate investors. Some of the people who attended the Winners Circle event which is run by Roger Salem and Dave Vanhoose were successful real estate investors like Ron Legrand, Than Merril from Flip this House on A+E, JT Foxx-from the JT Foxx radio show, Lou Brown, Jon Goldman-the Lumpy mail man.

In the video-there are some very cool parts. The 9 minute mark is very cool, as well as the 17 minute mark. Keep your eyes open for some really interesting things in this Awesome Mansion.

The best part of the house, takes place at the 11:50 mark (It is something right out of a James Bond movie). I’m not going to give it away and tell it to you here, you will need to watch the video for yourself to see exactly what I’m talking about.

Tell me your favorite success tip that you have learned and post your comment here on my blog.

—————————-

One of the things I learned from being at the 40,000 sq foot mansion that Roger Salem, my friend and business colleague bought, is what is possible.

• Everything is Possible!
• The power of thinking big.
• The power of being part of a mastermind group.
• The Power of helping others.

Roger was able to buy the house, due to the fact he was helping a business mogul try to sell his home which was listed for $25 million dollars.

As many people feel the sky is falling this group is playing business on the offensive. They are playing to win, not to lose. What about you,

ARE YOU PLAYING TO WIN OR ARE YOU PLAYING BUSINESS AND LIFE ON THE DEFENSIVE?

These real estate investors and trainers I met are focused on the opportunities they have not the challenges in the economy. I talked to one of my friends who stands to make 70 million net if everything goes according to plan over the next 12 to 18 months.

Why, because he thinks. He is asking himself what does he have to do, to get in the middle of all the wealth that will be created from all the foreclosures today.

When is the best time to buy things, when they are on sale. Real estate and stocks are on sale right this very moment.

1. Attitude Means A Lot

Here are some other things I took away that you should find helpful in your business. The people I met who were having a great deal of success were focusing on creating Irresistible offers for there clients.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT IS SO IRRESISTIBLE YOUR CLIENTS AND PROSPECTS CAN’T SAY NO TO YOU?
2)Moving the free line

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN TERMS OF PROVIDING MORE VALUE THEN YOUR CLIENTS EXPECT?

Are there products and services you can afford to give away for free to attract more clients into your marketing funnel. Greg Clement and his partner Josh gave away there $1000 product on purchasing short sales for free, all they charged was for shipping and handling. They did to get their students into a monthly group coaching program.

What can you do, what can you give away that will create more value for more people?

Another strategy during touch economic times you should be thinking about is:

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO CAPTURE MORE SHARE OF WALLET FROM YOUR CUSTOMERS?

Today at the airport at the Chinese restaurant, they charged:

$7.99 for a 2 item combo
but they charged 8.99 for 3 items.

They said it is only another dollar to add a third item. I didn’t need a third item, but they gave a free sample of their orange chicken, and I was hooked so I ordered another item. The moral of the story is that they just upsold me by 1 dollar.

Lets assume they serve 3000 customers a week, and 30% of their customers take them up on the offer. Well that is an extra $1000 a week, or $50,000 a year.

Not insignificant to that small business owner who owns that store.

What else can you offer your clients, especially after they just purchased something?

Well I am off to the Virgin Unite fundraiser that Richard Branson, Charleze Theron and Selma
Hayak are throwing, I’ll let you know who I meet and what I learn, in one of my next blog posts.
