I am a believer

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Cid Solutions

How oftern do you see a business oppurtunity that seems to put all your dreams and goals in a one stop shop? I think I am a believer of Nouveau Riche Univesrtiy and I was once the most skeptical critic of it.

When I first visited the briefing on the program, I left pretty stunned and I doubted the program becuase, nothing is  THAT good. So instead of joining up with them I decided to go a different route. I joined, RealNet USA as a wholesaler. That was two months ago.

My goal at RealNet USA was to basically learn the ropes of investing in Real Estate and growing my puny portfolio. I knew it was all new to me but I have done many entreprenurial things before getting into real estate, so I was confident that I would get through the learning curve qucikly. (I had previously started a company selling digital signage networks, but unfortunately not everything goes according to plan.)

Since my family already has some property, I figured, why not join the real estate industry and become a professional? Well, I thought I had found my route with RealNet USA. My job was PURE commission, no salaray, no benefits, just commissoin. So I busted my a$$ for them, working 10-12 hour days, going to 4 networking meetings a week, putting up ads online, and stapling ads on posts thorughout the city and southwest suburbs. What was my compensation? The office closed on me due to some timing issue with our mortgage money. Basically, FIRED! Not my boss' fault, he was trying hard and he was also working comission only. So there I was, sitting in an empty desk, with a handful of business cards from people I have met in the last few weeks, all for nothing... Or was it for nothing? Most of the people I met had already joined NR Univesrity and have started doing short sales and working on wholesaling deals making great money while they learned about the business. This made me flustered. WHY am i not doing this? I have recently uncovered a ton of talents and skills that can take me far, and I am here with nothing to show for it. I swallowed my pride and went back to another briefing to see if this was for me... 

As I sat there, trying to ignore the wealth of information being provided, I kept telling myself, "you are ready". I beleive that everything that I have done in the past has led me to this point, which will obviously lead me to my next point. But whats special about this one is that it will change the rest of my life. I do not beleive in putting myself into a huge debt, so I am only starting out with the $75 start up fee. This fee is all I will need to build myself a team and pay for my education. The reason other people fail, in my opinion, is because they get a $20,000 loan and then they let their excitement wither away and they figure they can do it later. If you start at $75 and learn to earn every penny, you KNOW the what 20k is worth once you get there.

Since joining a few days ago, I have already: created a blog, a website, designed a flyer, placed ads online, updated my myspace, set up a new email, attended 2 investor meetings, and talked to 10 people. I have placed a 21 day challenge to get 4 poeple on my team, where I will teach them what I know about goal setting and applied faith. I have unwaivering faith in myself to become a leader, a business man, and a great contributor to society.

My goal is to be the story they tell about in seminars, the guy they bring to the stage and say, "if he could do it, so can you". I am a believer, in myself, and my new company, Nouveau Riche. 

Thanks for listening.
