    90% Discount on Persuasive Presentations Lecture from UDEMY

    My first thought was that this was a second persona of someone that has already gained trust here & gifted this second persona that amount of bank. Would kind of suck if there's wolves among the sheep... I'm sure MJ can track that though...curious as heck to see if it's deeper than that or just...

    Thawing out in Indy

    INTRO 
    Thank you...sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Today has been a bad day...:( circumstances I can't control but I appreciate all of you so much. I'm humbled by everyone's encouragement to the underdog and the respect for failure that makes us tougher than we thought we were. We all started...

    Freshly Single and it Feels like Shit

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I definitely identify with being single again. I was with the same guy for 17 years. He had 3 affairs, the first during the first year we were married. I didn't do anything about it because I was young naive and believed in keeping promises "for better or worse". It sucked. I even counseled...

    Convert Motel to Apartment

    REAL ESTATE 
    Oh! And always buy with an exit strategy in mind. You don't want this to be a cool little endeavor that you can't even give away...ask some investors...hey if I did this and it was making "$XXX" month with management would you buy something like that?

    Any advice for a beginner Salesman?

    Have a goal when you go in that you'll get a contract, a second appointment or an agreement to follow up in a reasonable time frame. There are definitely some great resources out there for sales but the most important one is just being professional, easy to talk to and trustworthy.

    Any advice for a beginner Salesman?

    If you are at the point that your "pitching" your product you should have already found interest and be closing on that interest. During the sales process you ask your client open ended questions and yes / no questions that tell you if your product fits him. Do you have this problem? I hear a...

    Is Passive Income Real?

    HOT! 
    It is still taxable but often more manageable especially if you can do a 1035 exchange and also treat it as a business acquisition.

    Is Passive Income Real?

    HOT! 
    Gotcha. I see what you meant. People want out for a myriad of reasons and it isn't always to gain cash. Sometimes the asset has peaked and is trending toward a point where depreciation / costs are outbalancing appreciation / profit and another opportunity comes available to leverage. This...

    Is Passive Income Real?

    HOT! 
    Definitely. There are companies that will pay commission for notes that you help them buy. That's not a bad deal until you can learn the ropes. It helps you understand what makes up a good / bad investment.

    Is Passive Income Real?

    HOT! 
    You actually pay X a lot LESS because cash in hand is better than waiting for payments. So he had a note with $10,000 left to pay down & you pay him $6,000. He's happy because he has $6,000 today rather than waiting another 3 years. So if Y ends up paying off the balance to you, you could...

    Is Passive Income Real?

    HOT! 
    The note business is usually secondary, not on a property you actually owned or sold. So if X sells a property to Y and holds a note, Y pays X a certain amount until X gets tired of the little monthly payments and sells to you at a discount of the full amount. You can purchase the note and now...

    Sorry, But MJ (or the forum) Can't Make Your Life Decisions For You!!

    GOLD! 
    Same with "Tell me what your product / niche is!" Duplication isn't in the "product" it's in the blood sweat & tears of process which is what people are showing you here. Duplicate their PROCESS, man! That's gold! Life isn't going to wait for you to make decisions. Worst you can do is fail...

    Telemarketing Question

    MARKETING 
    This is great...the owner is always better qualified to make the call and it sounds like you are taking the approach as "I'm the professional not a sales agent" which is 90% of winning a decision in your favor. Good luck.

    Using Clickbank as a Vendor (HELP)

    MARKETING 
    I know a lot of people intro their concept with clickbank JVzoo [ebook, video course] to introduce people to their brand and then email market or bounce them to a more controlled environment like their own website / social media where they have full scale upsells. Kind of like using it as PRWeb.
