"The Wealth Trainer"

Several months into being employees again when an opportunity comes. My mother contacts my wife and then me about an energetic man on the radio that is having a seminar about real estate investing and calls himself "The Wealth Trainer". Often compared to Will Smith for his comedic style (although to me, he is more like a Tommy Davison) , he had a way of simplifying real estate investing in 5 networking sessions that included luncheons, field trips, and conference calls. Of course, there was a tuition involved, but it was an experience. No matter how much or how little something like this could help, to experience this at least once is not regrettable being that in business, experience is a true teacher regardless of outcome. Even though procedures he suggested be followed to attain success in start up, investing, land lording are still questionable as of now, the real lesson learned here was the overhaul a mindset has to go through in order for you to condition yourself for success. The importance of building a team to work along side. The challenge of doing something different, dismissing fear, and making your dreams a priority. At this point, I not only look for the lesson, but I also look for hidden gems. It wouldn't be until "graduation day" that I would find my hidden gem and what I think is my true eye opener.
