    It's beautiful here, yeah.

    I love Reno. I can get pretty much anywhere in Ca in a short amount of time, have lots of recreational activities to do, and favorable taxes if you know what I mean .

    I would like a copy of your book.

    Very good story, I really enjoyed it. You said-
    [quote=On the business/real estate front: The real estate market totally exploded during this time. Richard put a crew together and started doing fix and flips. He timed the market perfectly. When it came down (not a real crash…just a gentle downturn), we were out – but a few million richer.
    [/quote]
    So technically you made a few million in a few years?

    Diane thank you for posting your story. There are a lot of points that I had suspected were true and I was delighted to see you validate them. Keep up the great work

    Ahh one of my favorites- especially the part about how she knew she'd be a great entrepreneur because she was never a great employee, but most of all, I've been trying like crazy to get my dad to learn from her story as he's trying to maximize his tax biz and even get me into it, something I wouldn't mind doing, I just don't want to get stuck in the "hours for dollars" trap unless of course it's in the realm of public speaking where my time is being spend influencing many instead of just one person at a time.

    Diane-Thank you SO MUCH for your success story.
    1) LOL about the gold...
    2) You just gave me a new personal goal/objective
    3) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that you came up with a solution that was what you wanted, lucrative and most of all, benefited CHARITABLE CAUSES! You are now officially my hero...

    Thanks Diane for that post. I too am a UNR graduate and live in Northern Nevada so your story has really resonated with me. The summary is perfect! Thanks for the inspiration. I have work to go do

    Diane, what a great story. I remember hearing about you several years back in my early Kiyosaki days and learning about TaxLoopholes.

    You made many valid points and it was great to hear from someone who's travelled the road to wealth themselves. But this was what impacted me most:

    The one thing we tend to forget about is how our actions impact others. By going Fastlane, we have the ability to impact more people in a bigger than if we just lived our lives being "small."

    Thanks for that, marlitamc
