Househacking for Entrepreneurs.
The old adage of sleeping on the floor of an apartment with 6 friends eating ramen noodles to get by while building your business doesn't have to be you. What if you could own your house and never pay for it? What if you could put almost no money down, have your mortgage paid for, and live for free while building your business?

  • How to build out a real estate investing business through househacking
  • Mistakes and lessons learned (so you dont make them)
  • Office hacking for your business (A project in progress)

:star::star: SPEAKER #9:star::star:
@DaveC -- The Business of Buying Businesses.
How To Jumpstart Into Business (For newbs w/o a business) Or Add to Your Existing Business (For those who have one.)​

Many entrepreneurs start out building web businesses from scratch…finding an idea, doing research, creating landing pages, testing offers, etc…. Even with “lean startup” or “fail fast” methodologies, many small businesses experience failure. Buying an existing business will often accelerate you past these roadblocks.​

About Dave: He's personally used this to build a portfolio of cash flow and appreciation. The returns can easily be 40-50% per year or more. I’ve been investing in online website purchases since 2009 and have done dozens of deals in sizes ranging from under $1k to over $2million.​

:star::star: SPEAKER #10:star::star:
@csalvato -- Going from Solopreneur to a Team Effort: How to Grow A Team Around You That Will Follow You Into Hell and Back.

@csalvato -- An Exploration into Cryptocurrency and Why is Should Be A Part of Your Entrepreneurial Lexicon.
How it works, future outlooks, and why you should get in as early as possible.

@Kung Fu Steve -- Our master motivator returns for his 5, 6 or 7th season. Slap your hands together like a madman and get ready for kick-butt motivational session that is likely to piss of your friends and neighbors... Skeptical? Steve gets paid for this stuff normally so you're in for a treat. And not only does he get paid to do this stuff (and he's offering his kick-assness to us for free) he's paid by the grandmaster motivator himself, none other than Tony Robbins.

:star::star: SPEAKER #13:star::star:

@TheTruth -- How to build an e-commerce business from $0 to 6 figures (profitably) within 5 months. He will cover when to follow the herd vs. when to differentiate, how to pinpoint and optimize/systematize the most important part of your business (regardless of the business), what marketing strategy to utilize depending on the business you have and a complete breakdown from start to finish on how to run an online business in today's world using his experience at two startups he is involved with as well as his own business.

Really looking forward to this event. I live about 10 minutes away from the Talking Stick Resort. For those coming from out of town feel free to reach out to me! I also recommend booking hotel rooms in advance because February is packed with snowbirds here in AZ. Thank you for putting an event together like this, super excited about this!

@Kung Fu Steve @Hong King Kong @Blaise84 @TheTruth @csalvato -- ya'll were sent speaking invites, not sure how often you guys check email, or if Gmail tossed it into "promotions". Can you gentlemen please let me know if you plan on speaking at the event, otherwise I have to let go of the reserved spot and offer it to someone else. Either way, thanks for the offer of some great content!

I would like to come and be a presenter. I just back off of 10 day trip to the Lower 48, so my life has been rather disjointed -- while I've been following your posts.

My favorite topic is how to negotiate. That skill is one the basic ones for all business transactions. My background as professional mediator has given me the skills to find agreements that would otherwise end up in the trash heap.

I wanna talk about:

How to find out the real issues in the negotiation by asking the right questions
Listening verses telling
Finding their stated reasons verses their underlying reasons

Start in the right place with the different issues
What do you deal with in the agreement first, second, and so on -- and why

How to structure the negotiation with "throw away" points for the other side to reject -- and why.

How to make an agreement where the other side thinks that your goal was their idea in the first place.

How to reject an offer by getting the other side to reject you -- and why you would do that.

How to deal w/ buyer's remorse up front -- before it happens & the deal falls apart

This is a hug subject, so this will be an over view. If you are interested, please let me. That's the nadir of our winter here in Alaska.

SPEAKER AND TOPIC #7
:star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star:

Househacking for Entrepreneurs. The old adage of sleeping on the floor of an apartment with 6 friends eating ramen noodles to get by while building your business doesn't have to be you. What if you could own your house and never pay for it? What if you could put almost no money down, have your mortgage paid for, and live for free while building your business?

@Envision will show you how to live for free whether your an entrepreneur, investor, or average 9-5er working your way in the fastlane. What can you expect?
  • What househacking is and how it allows you to live for free
  • How Envision boosted his net worth over $100,000 in one property while building a business
  • The math behind househacking properties and why you have an advantage in today's market.
  • How to build out a real estate investing business through househacking

  • Mistakes and lessons learned (so you dont make them)

@Envision - Househacking for Entrepreneurs. Housing is your biggest expense in your lifetime. No matter if you're just an entrepreneur starting a business or a real estate investor, @Envision will show us the strategies he's used to grow his net worth (not to mention virtually eliminate his housing expenses)!

This is not theory, this is someone who has DONE it and is DOING IT! Also, his experience can also be tailored for OFFICE space for those of us in an early growth stage.

Damn, I would really like to go but I'm not 100% sure if I can. Also, living in New Hampshire I've learned February is a bad month to plan trips. It would really suck to have made all the arrangements and then have my flight cancelled due to a snow storm.

@AllenCrawley - How I shortcut the long and time consuming process of building a trusted luxury brand by harnessing the power of celebrity licensing.
  • My process for “wow’ing” the licensing company and convincing them I’m the only real choice for our chosen product category.
  • How I negotiated one helluva sweet licensing deal that made @Vigilante say, “Are you f*@k'in kidding me?!”
  • Mistakes made and the lessons learned during the licensing negotiation, sourcing, product development, and marketing.
  • I how launched the brand and the initial results. We're launching this month (November) so I'll have some great information to share by The Summit.

This looks like it will be a great event. So we have to be a FL INSIDERS to purchase tickets? I know there will be a ton of information and insight at this event.

SPEAKER AND TOPIC #9

@DaveC -- The Business of Buying Businesses.
How To Jumpstart Into Business (For newbs w/o a business) Or Add to Your Existing Business (For those who have one.)

Many entrepreneurs start out building web businesses from
scratch…finding an idea, doing research, creating landing pages,
testing offers, etc…. Even with “lean startup” or “fail fast”
methodologies, many small businesses experience failure. Buying an
existing business will often accelerate you past these roadblocks.

About Dave: He's personally used this to build a portfolio of cash flow
and appreciation. The returns can easily be 40-50% per year or more.
I’ve been investing in online website purchases since 2009 and have
done dozens of deals in sizes ranging from under $1k to over
$2million.
