Now, I don’t have a magic time machine, but what I am offering you is the next best thing… the opportunity to slice your learning curve - from the 5 years it took me to the 6 months it will take you with this franchise like program.
Below, is just one example of types of success our Mastery members have experienced during the 6 month Mastery session. While in the program, Erik and Mariana Bee from Seatle, WA area completed this amazing rehab deal for an awesome $119,000 profit! I think the pictures speak for themselves...


that the growth of your business will be restricted without a mentor to hold you accountable, to tell you the brutal truth and identify the constraints of your business. Just as important is someone to pat you on the back or give you a high-five when you’ve done a great job...positive reinforcement. A coaching team will help you solve your problems and provide an expert opinion for you to bounce ideas off of. This support system will ease your worries and keep you sane!
In order to experience a business breakthrough you need to make some changes. First, you are probably trying to do too much yourself and be all things to all people. Essentially, you need to focus on what is most important. So how do you know what's important? Where do you start? Building and implementing better systems so you can accomplish more with less of your time! On a daily basis we all have times we get off track and do unproductive things. The problem is when the majority of your day is taken up by these distratctions it STOPS YOU from making more money and realizing your entrepreneurial dream. Here is where we come in. Our coaching team will personally evaluate your business and show you what areas you need to improve on FIRST, so you can right the ship and go full steam ahead right NOW!

Likewise, if you are working on a deal or you have a very time sensitive question the coaches are accessible for phone support as well.
Deal Submission Review: Having a second set of eyes look at your deals as you are working them is an invaluable resource.

This Forum will allow you to interact with the coaches and with other successful Mastery students all across the country so you can share questions, experiences and solutions with other members of the Mastery program.
Aren't There Other Coaching Programs Out There?
You bet! When we started outlining the coaching program I spent two months spying on the competition. You name the guru and I found out what they were teaching, who their coaches were, what they were charging, and how all of their programs were laid out.
I was shocked by what I found out!
First, with almost all of the other programs you did not get access to the guru themselves! Many of the programs are being taught by a former student of the guru or by an outside company that speakers outsource their coaching to. In fact, four of the programs I researched outsource their coaching services to the same company in Utah who has a staff of generic real estate coaches! I couldn't believe it.
To make matters worse most of these coaches were not even experienced real estate investors! They were full time coaches with very little to no real estate experience. I call that the blind leading the blind! I don't know about you, but if I am investing in a coaching program I want access to an expert, who can see the challenges before they come.
Likewise, I want someone who can answer my questions on the spot, especially when I have a profitable deal on the line! What I don't want is someone who has to get back to me while they do a Google search for the answer!
Second, most of the programs had very basic outlines - things we cover in most of our multi-day seminars and home study courses. I don't know about you, but I would want to know I will be learning new things when I sign up for a coaching program.
Third, most programs seemed to be just centered around teaching with very little focus on implementation. We believe successful coaching is about teaching first, however you can only take someone so far when all you do is teach. A fundamental principle of a coaching program should be implementation. When you help someone "implement" what they have learned and hold them accountable to their actions that is when you see true growth.
What Are Our Mastery Members Saying?
Hold on here for a minute, can I be bluntly honest with you? I am sure many of you are probably thinking that becoming a member of the Mastery Program could tremendously help your business right now! BUT, before you join this elite group I do have something to tell you… There are some people who I do not want in the Mastery Program!
Yes, you just read that right…there ARE some people I do not want to join this very exclusive group. Don't worry, I am not taking into consideration your hairline or your fashion sense (God knows I wouldn't be allowed in if that were the case)! Nothing like that, but listen up because I'm dead serious there ARE some people I don't want in this program...
To start, I don't want anyone who is not completely committed to doubling, tripling, or quadrupling their income in the next year. Likewise, I don't want anyone who is not committed to and PASSIONATE about learning, sharing, brainstorming, and putting in some consistent work to grow their business.
This is an intense no-holds-barred program…my goal is not to massage your ego, it's to help make you the best real estate investor you can be. I don't want anyone who is afraid to have their business evaluated, picked apart, and critically examined. Additionally, I don't want anyone who is not willing to fully disclose their best kept practices, their most efficient business processes, and closely guarded investment secrets. Lastly, I don't want anyone who is negative, consistently unexcitable, or not willing to think outside of the box. So if you fit this description then guess what...click off this page right now because I only want to work with people who are 100% committed to growing their business and achieving their life's goals!
I simply will not allow one sour apple to spoil the bunch. We’ve put an incredible amount of time and energy into creating this program, I have absolutely no interest in having you waste my time and my fellow coaches time, taking up one of the limited slots available in the program and become toxic to the group.
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I value my time and I don’t need your money, I’m not willing to waiver from those standards just to make a few bucks…don’t think so! I want passionate, motivated, innovative, bright, connected people who want to dominate their marketplace.
So before you invest in this program you must ask yourself whether you want to be a mediocre investor or a best version of yourself. If you are okay with being an average investor who struggles to stay afloat in this business, then this program is not for you. However, if you want to take your business to the next level and assure a secure and prosperous future for yourself, your spouse and your children, keep on reading. Now, back to what else the program includes…
Student Shared Development Projects: As a Mastery student you will be responsible for developing components of your business each and every month. Successful student systems will be shared with the group so you will benefit from everyone working together. Example: If you have a successful system for how multiple short sales can be managed more effectively then that information would be shared with the group so everyone can achieve more.
Student Shared Marketing Projects & Results: Your success as a real estate investor is dependent on the quality and frequency of your marketing. When you become part of the Mastery Program you will not only have access to Exclusive Mastery Student Only Marketing Campaigns developed by the coaching staff, but you will also get access to other student developed marketing campaigns that have been contributed to the Mastery.
Forum & Blog: We briefly touched on the Forum earlier, however I wanted to bring it up in this section as this will be an integral part of the Mastery Community and Collaboration where you will be able to interact and work together with other very successful investor across the country.
FortuneBuilders Affiliate Program: As a Mastery student you will also have the opportunity to earn commissions as a joint venture affiliate for any of FortuneBuilders home study courses and bootcamps. Just another income stream you can bring into your business.
Mind Protein Affiliate Program: You will be part of a very small group of people who will have the first opportunity at becoming an affiliate of Mind Protein and other when it is launched in 2009. This is a huge opportunity to get in on the ground floor of one of the most unique resources on the web!
RealeFlow CRM Database:
As part of the coaching program you will get a license for the RealeFlow CRM Database. Realeflow combines seven amazing products - a powerful CRM and database manager, a marketing system, an automated forms creator, a virtual business advisor, a robust project manager, revolutionary power tools, and high quality lead generation websites - to create the world's Most Powerful Real Estate Business Management System. It is so completely comprehensive it would take me the next four pages to give you a complete list of everything it can do.
Value: $ 995
RealeFlow Training Videos: These recorded webinars will be directly related to helping you implement this state of the art system.
Buy & Sell Website Templates: You will also get our Exclusive Real Estate Investor Websites templates. These websites are the ones we actually use in our business to advertise our wholesale and retail properties for sale. By the way if you have ever had to pay to get a website designed it will generally cost you about $1200 dollars for 1 site alone! If you don’t have a web presence then you need to get one!!!
2 Day Mastery Event:
You will be invited to come to our exclusive 2 day Intensive Training only available to Mastery Students. You will be amazed how much in-depth information you’ll learn about investing during these exhilarating days. As if that weren't enough, Mentoring students consistently tell us that the practice they gain at the Intensive Training making calls to motivated sellers and then meeting with them in person to negotiate buying their properties is priceless. This intensive training will also be recorded for all Inner Circle members to listen to after the training or in case you have conflicts with the date. Value: $3,000
Don’t give me that “I don’t have the time right now” excuse
Tony Robbins said one of the best lines I have ever heard, that never fails to get me out of my chair and take action to improve my life. He said “when will NOW be a better time?” Think about that, sure you’re busy, trust me I can relate. Every single one of us is being pulled in a million different directions all the time. But guess what…
I HAVE DESIGNED THE MASTERY PROGRAM SO THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT IN! You can learn at your own pace. IF you miss a training session, that’s ok…we record EVERYTHING so you miss out on NOTHING! Procrastination is a virus that spreads like the plague…if you aren’t going to make time for you, who is?
Time is money…what are you worth???

Ok, so now that you have learned what the Mastery Program is all about, who should and should not apply and have met the coaches, let's talk about the investment...
What Is The Investment Going to Be?
Some people try to sell you on a program. That is not my intention. Instead I’m going to ask you to make an investment in your real estate business. The investment is only $11,997 if paid in one lump sum, or you have the option of putting down $6,997 and paying monthly installments of $1000 a month for six months.
Financing Option
We also have one more option that will allow you to take advantage of this life changing opportunity. How would you like to get into this program, go through the entire 6 months of training and not have to make the first payment or pay any interest during that time? Do you think this would help your cashflow? Well, I have some great news! For those of you that qualify, we also have an Educational Loan Program. This is a limited program which will allow you to finance a large portion or possibly even the total amount of tuition for 6 months with absolutely no interest! This option will let you get ALL the benefits of the Mastery Program and start building your dream business right now with little or no money out of your pocket up front! Imagine what you can accomplish in the next 6 months with the right tools and people helping you to achieve your goals!
Let me give you some perspective coming from someone who over a few short years has spent well over 100k in business related education, seminars, bootcamps, courses and coaching programs. When I first started out as an investor, I would have paid FOUR to FIVE TIMES that amount to be a part of a this program! Think about the cost of other forms of education and coaching. How much did it cost you to go to college? A trade school? What would be the cost of purchasing a real estate franchise? EASILY $50,000 and probably many times over. And you know as well as I do that you wouldn’t make anywhere near what you will make being a part of the Mastery Program! These are skills that you will carry with you for the rest of your life, and ensure your financial future… What is this future worth to you?
And if you are still not convinced, let me put the investment in perspective... Last year we bought and sold 104 properties with an average profit of $27,000 dollars using the investing systems we have put in place in our business and have now made available to you in the Mastery Program. You do the math and figure out if it is worth the time and little investment...
