Ok I think this is my last post because I'm tired of the criticism. No respect.

But outside of the criticism you are right. So I will make one last post and get my RE advice from some where else.

I said learn everything about business and everything revolves around business because its true. It will allow you to earn more money than you can imagine.

If you want to make high returns in the stock, the more you learn about business, the better decisions you can make. Warren buffet doesn't care about other people's opinion... he just studies the business.

If you learn strategies that can help businesses increase their sales, you can teach businesses all over the world the strategy if you help people get results. In my case, I also figured out a way to just market their business for them and multiply my money.

If you learn everything about business, and you decide to work for someone, you will get more promoted like crazy, no matter how many degrees people above you have. If you can deliver results from the company, you will be rewarded.

Real estate is still business. It's the business of buying and selling houses. And if you learn enough about business and you start your own, you don't have to be in that "95% of small businesses fail within the first five years" category.

One more thing about investing your money to grow other people's businesses, just find the cheapest way to market a business to get the best results possible. The small business people think it's yellow pages and TV advertising and flyer. They are wrong.

Anyways, I hope the best for you all. See ya.

Hey you are in Charlotte! I'm in Greensboro! I'm actually 23, wasn't completely honest when I signed up.

My biggest tip is to learn everything about business because everything revolves around business. I've been reading everything I can about business since I was 12.

Why bother with RE when you have unlimited income just for the taking - must be very simple since you're bored with it.

Oh, wait a minute, I get it, you want to tell others how to do it (for a fee of course), but you've not done it yourself since it bores you.

Thanks for sharing.

LOL!



First of all, it is not unlimited income. You will get to the point where you can't manage it all yourself. Yeah it's simple, but talking with the business owners takes time. And if you need to start hiring people to do it for you, that will create some problems.

To be honest, I'm not even going to try and explain because I don't like the way you are talking to me.

And I never made an offer to charge anyone anything.

Just a thought or reminder on high returns. The rule of 72 states how long it takes an investment to double http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72

If one earns 24% on their money, they can double their money every 3 years. The power of compound interest over time is astounding. For example, if you invest $50K and it doubles every 3 years for 60 years it will be worth $52 billion dollars.

If you earn 500% a year for 60 years my calculator and brain lock up.


Jon, you are right on the money! That is the advantage of doing what I described. You can keep reinvesting over and over and multiply your money like crazy.

The example I used was for simplicity. If you multiplied your money to say $100,000, you can reinvest that to help 10 businesses or 20 businesses. And of course there is no limit to the number of businesses you can help. And it is so easy once you understand marketing and advertising.

But it can get boring though... really boring, which is why I want to try real estate one day.

Oh I have had my share of lessons... very expensive lessons. The "here we go..." statement almost made me laugh. I'm an active member of a business forum so I know how it is when a new comer comes along. I was like, "I wonder what he is thinking..."

Bill, thank you so much for your reply. I forgot all about options. Had a wealthy guy teach me about that a while ago, but I completely forgot about it.

As far as your request about what I do locally, if you understand how to grow a business, you can get a business to sign a contract saying that if I cause their revenue to grow from say $50,000 per month to $70,000 per month, they will pay you $25,000. You just helped them make an extra $20,000 per month or $240,000 per year so they will gladly pay you.

So if you understand business and can invest only $5,000 to increase their revenue, you can get back $25,000 within months if you know what you are doing. And of course that is a 500% return.

This is similar to what I was thinking. Couldn't you easily get 500% returns by putting say $5,000 down for a property and flipping it for a profit?

Bill, most people can't afford my time. But in a nutshell, I know how to get 500% returns within 6-12 months by investing money in increasing the revenue of local businesses and getting paid handsomely for it.

Hi,

How many of you get at least 500% returns?

I'm still not sold on real estate yet. I know how to get 500% returns with other investments but I'm not sold on real estate yet.

Thanks,
Brandon
