The other night, I found myself glued to the TV.

Like many of you, I was watching the Olympics.

Specifically, I was watching the Super Pipe
competition.

WOW! These young kids do some amazing tricks,
don’t they?

Have you seen this 23 year old youngster with the
shocking mane of red hair?

His name is Shaun White and NBC did a short special
on him and the training facility he’s built way
up in the mountains just for his own personal training.

I quickly learned the guy is being paid huge, huge sums
of money by sponsors like Red Bull because he is
REALLY, REALLY GOOD at snow boarding.

HIS JOB IS SNOWBOARDING BOYS AND GIRLS!!!

What most of us pay to do, he gets paid to do!

Why? Because he’s REALLY, REALLY GOOD!

The very next day I was working away at my computer
and my cell phone rang….it was my friend Jeff calling
from Scottsdale.

He wanted to tell me about a change in his schedule and
was wondering if I could still pick him up at the airport.

Before he left, we had a greed to have lunch together when
he got back and this way we could do both.

You see, Jeff gets paid to look at pretty horses,
and by the way the pretty ladies that show them.

Tough duty!

Jeff judges horse shows around the world…South
America, Europe, the Middle East and all around
the US he travels just to look at horses.

Now don’t think I’m selling Jeff short, I’m not…

He’s REALLY, REALLY GOOD at judging horses.

If he wasn’t he wouldn’t get paid like he does.

He earns his money!

Then there’s another friend of mine, Al.

Al became a life insurance salesman when he was very
young…..22 as I recall.

Now as many of you know, selling life insurance is
not every body’s cup of tea. It’s a tough job
especially if you are 22.

But Al got good at it. He got real good at it. He also
started taking courses to become a financial planner.
So about the time he was 35, he had become a Certified
Financial Planner.

That’s a big deal!

Now he’s got clients all over the United States.

Heck, he even has some Hollywood celebrity clients
you would recognize if I could tell you their names.

He’s REALLY, REALLY GOOD at advising folks like you
and me about their finances!

He’s a REALLY, REALLY GOOD financial planner.

Then there’s my buddy, Scott.

Scott thought he had a great job with a big time
corporation that was paying him lot’s and lot’s of money.

Then after three years and two promotions with this company,
his boss called him in one day and gave him the old
“you’re a great employee but we’re downsizing” speech.

Here’s your vacation pay, your Cobra forms and hit the door.

For a year and a half Scott looked for another job.

But times had changed.

Nobody was hiring.

Finally, with $991 left to his name, in desperation
he rolled the dice….literally, it was all in or homeless
next month.

He turned to online poker!

Are you kidding me? Only one in a bazillion can
really make a living at this.

Had he asked me, which he didn’t, I would have told
him he was nuts.

Don’t put at risk the only money you have.

And yes, before you write me,, I have seen the TV
shows with the 23 year old’s making $50,000 in one
hand….but I also know the background info that most
of these guys don’t sustain that and end up broke
or worse.

But my friend Scott, studied and worked at it night
and day…..day and night…he was relentless….18
hours a day, seven days a week…..he was determined
to get good at this.

And now he is.

He’s a REALLY, REALLY GOOD on-line Poker player.

Rumor has it he’s made several million dollars in the
last couple of years.

So what’s your point Ron? Why all the stories?
What do all these guys have in common?

Well, they all got REALLY, REALLY GOOD at something.

One advises folks on money issues, another gets to
snow board all day, another looks at pretty horses.

They took one thing and learned it inside and out.

They worked and worked and worked and over the
years became really, really good.

So what does this have to do with you, you ask?

Each and every one of you are reading this because
you asked me to send you some info on RE investing.

Specifically, Probate Real Estate investing.

Why? I can only assume it’s because you want to
improve your financial well being and you want to
learn from someone who is…..

REALLY, REALLY GOOD at it!

That would be me!

So if YOU too want to be REALLY, REALLY GOOD , I suggest
you set aside 45 minutes this Saturday, Feb 27th at
9AM Pacific, Noon Eastern.

I am going to hold a brief tele-seminar to announce my
next Probate Mastery Conference.

Now if you have been following me, you know we did
our first one just two weeks ago. I think I told you
I had the attendees fill out an anonymous evaluation
form. The last question I asked was to evaluate
the over all VALUE of the whole weekend.

Out of a possible perfect 10, I got a 9.6!

I rest my case!

If you also want to get REALLY, REALLY GOOD,
you need to listen in.

Date: Sat, Feb 27, 2010
Time: Noon Eastern, 9AM Pacific
Ph #: 218.862.1300
Code: 171942

As I have told you, all the seats for the last
Mastery Conference were taken in the first 24
hours and I expect the same for this one so a replay
may not do any good…..we’ll see!

We’ve only got 10 spots.

See you on Sat.

Got to find a tailor who can make me one of those
sharp snow boarding outfits!

As most of you know we held our first Probate Mastery
Conference this past weekend here in Portland.

WOW! What an experience! We had a GREAT time!

We had seven attendees and judging from the comments
that were made on the evaluation forms I passed out
on Sunday, I was successful in creating seven new
“raving fans”.

They all loved the Conference and felt it was
well worth the time and money spent.

As a matter of fact, the last question I asked on
the evaluation form was for them to rank the overall
value of the Conference. The lowest ranking score
would be 0 and the highest would be a 10.

Well guess what?

I am not sure I got the Olympic Gold Medal but
I was pretty close.

The average ranking from the judges for the
whole Conference was a…..

9.6!!!! Sounds like a pretty good score
to me.

9.6 is SIMPLY AMAZING, don’t you think?

So based upon this overwhelming response, I spent
all yesterday working on the details to make
another one available.

Looks like April 9-11 will be the date but I can’t
start taking reservations yet as I have a few
more details to work out.

But I can tell you this:

All the spots for the first event were taken in 24
hours.

We turned down some folks who wanted to come
because we limited it to 7.

I now have proof from the first set of
students that we more than delivered on our
promises.

I expect the second event to sell out in even
less time.

………… that’s what I know.

However, I AM going to make one small change.

I will accept 10 reservations this time not 7.
We can add a couple more without compromising
anything.

So this message today is just a heads up.

If you are truly interested in jump starting
your Probate investing career, start making
arrangements to be here on the April dates.

I expect to have all the details worked out by
tomorrow, Thursday so watch for my announcement.

When I do, I will hold a short tele-conference
and fill you in.

One last comment, most of the attendees had no
experience in Probate whatsoever, so don’t let
the title intimidate you.

I’ll start from the beginning.

Like Vince Lombardi used to say at the
beginning of training camp, “Gentlemen, this
is a football!”

I start slow but build up steam quickly.

I’ll talk with you tomorrow.

As most of you know, our Probate Mastery Conference
starts tomorrow, Friday, here in Portland.

That means the Darling Bride Sharon and I will
be pretty tied up until Sunday afternoon since I
will be teaching 3 of the 5 modules and Sharon will
be there to keep me focused and on track.

Thankfully, my buddy Patrick Riddle is flying
in from South Carolina to teach the Saturday morning
session on “The Private Money Blueprint” which will
show everyone how easy it is to find private money
investors for your Probate deals.

On Saturday afternoon, my friend Rob Russell and
his wife Kristi are going to talk to everyone
about how their real estate investing has just
exploded in the last two years. Rob and I have
been talking and he has agreed to show us some
behind the scenes specific examples of deals he
has done and how he has solved the dilemma
everyone fears……

“how do I sell the house after I have it fixed up?”

He’s also going to go into his rehab secrets.

My goal is for everyone attending to walk away
saying this is the absolute best conference they
have ever attended and they would have gladly
paid twice as much.

Yes Sir, that’s a big goal!

We do have one glitch and its called a huge
snow storm on the east coast. It’s nice weather out
here but not so nice in the DC area where one of our
Conference attendees was coming from.

He called last night and said there was no way
he could make it out so he wanted to know how
quickly I could put another conference together.

Next weekend was his suggestion.

The boy is EAGER, I’ll tell you that….

But as you know, these events take a little
planning so I can’t do it quite that quickly.

However, I’m already on it.

This first Conference sold out in about
24 hours and we had to turn down a couple
of folks who dearly wanted to come but because
we limited it to only 7 we couldn’t accept
their reservation.

I am now looking at the second weekend in April
as the first possibility. I’d like to do it the
first weekend but that’s not going to happen.

That’s Easter Sunday….not a good weekend to hold
a conference.

So I’ll let you know all the details first part of
next week but I’m just giving you a heads up
so you can start planning.

As I said, the first event sold out in 24 hours and
with all the folks who wanted to come to this one
but couldn’t, I expect the demand for the second
event will be even greater.

So you won’t be getting any emails from me until
next Monday but that just might be a relief for
some, huh?

Since I put every ounce of my being into these
events I’ll have to muster some extra juice
next Monday.

But it sure won’t be one of those energy drinks.
Someone gave me one once and I quickly figured out
it must be for some of those younger Buck-O’s!

Didn’t like the feeling but then again I don’t drink
coffee either so maybe it was too much of a jolt
for my system.

Enjoy your weekend! I sure will!
