Because The Darling Bride Sharon and I have
made the decision to operate our business from
offices in our home, the line between business
time and personal time can get very blurred.

And since we live on the West Coast (also our choice
I might add!) sometimes our business phone will
ring at 6AM, which is 9AM on the East Coast. But
this is the path we have chosen, so we answer.

Last Friday, we needed to run some personal
errands so we forwarded our business line to
our cell phone and left for the afternoon.

A couple of hours later, the phone rang and it was
one of our attendees from the Probate Mastery
Conference we held last month.

Bob said he was calling to tell us tell us
that some of the info he had picked up at
the Conference was working perfectly and he
(and his wife) wanted to thank us.

But it may not be what you are thinking.

You see one of the benefits of the Conference
was that we hosted all of the meals.

It was during one of our lunches that the
subject of digestive troubles came up.

One of the fellows, Bob, mentioned that his
wife had severe digestive issues that sometimes
required her to sleep upright in a chair rather
than in her bed.

Over the years, she had seen doctor after
doctor but none did anything other than write
more prescriptions.

Other members of the group chimed in that they
too either had problems themselves or had family
or friends that did also.

Since I too had had these issues for many years
and had cured them, they asked how I had done it.

Now for those of you who have been a subscriber of
mine for more than a year or so, you will probably
remember me telling you about Sherry Brescia.

She has a solution for digestive issues such as
Acid Reflux, Gastritis, Constipation. IBS,
Heartburn. Diverticulosis. Diverticulitis,
Diarrhea, Colitis & Crohn’s (IBD)…

So at our meeting, I took ten minutes and explained
how Sherry’s site and her solution had affected me
personally.

When I told everyone my symptoms had gone away
in 24 hours, there were some raised eyebrows
in the room.

But evidently not from Bob. As soon as he returned
home after the Conference, he looked up Sherry’s site,
downloaded her free report and gave it to his wife.

So his call on this past Friday was to tell me he and
his wife were smiling again and sharing the same
bed…. Mr.Lay-Z-Boy recliner was no longer seeing
double duty.

All was happy in Mr. Bob’s household.

He was happy, his wife was even happier and I was
glad I could help.

This reminded me that many of you may have forgotten
my suggestion on this topic that has nothing at all
to do with Probate investing but has everything to
do with quality of life.

Know anybody that has seen every doctor in the
world about their stomach/digestive problems
and still doesn’t have full relief?

Know anybody poppin those purple pills all the time?

I know of two who don’t anymore, me and Mrs. Bob.

So take a moment or two and read this report. Also read
about the results some of Sherry’s loyal followers have
written about.

Here’s the site for the free report.

I know this works because I have personally followed
her advice and got the results.

I received an email on Monday from a couple who
are subscribers of mine. They had unbelievably
good news.

On Monday, March 15th they were going to be

COMPLETELY DEBT FREE!

Are you envious???

Since I wrote them a note outlining the next
steps they might want to take, I thought I would
share it with you today.

Here’s my reply:

Be sure to read this completely as I have added
a short comment at the end.

***********************************************

“Congratulations on your accomplishment!

You are both CHAMPIONS!

If all went as planned, you are debt
free as of yesterday. Getting out of debt is the
first step to wealth and it’s a huge one!!!

I would advise you to no longer use your cc’s
except in a dire emergency.

My suggestion for today would be that you to sit
down together and decide in what position you want
to be 12 months from now. Next decide what position
you would need to be in 11 months from now to be able
to accomplish your 12 month goal.

Then decide what position you need to be in 10
months from now to accomplish your 11 month goal
etc, etc.

When you finish your 12 month statement,
you should have listed where you would like to be
for each of the next 12 months.

Then decide what actions you need to take in the
next 30 days that will get you in the position
you have stated you would like to be in at the
end of 1 month.

For example, lets just say that under your plan
you have decided that working backwards from 12
months, your plan says you want to have $1,000 in
savings at the end of month one. If you divide $1,000
by 30 days you will see you need to save $33.33 each
day of the month and you will have your $1,000.

Next, you need to decide what action you need to
take in order to be able to save $33 each day.
Let’s just say you each normally purchase one latte
every day. If you decide to eliminate your drink
you will have saved about $10.

How about lunch? Do you normally purchase yours?

If you would decide to make your lunches instead
of purchasing, I think you could easily save
$12 more dollars. We’re now up to $22 just with a
couple of minor adjustments.

Can you see how easy it would be to save a measly
$33 per day?

If you did nothing more than work at this level
you would have $12,000 in the bank by St. Patty’s
Day next year.

But what would happen if you worked on the income
side at the same time?

I know you have purchased my “Seminar-in-a-Box” on
Probate investing

http://BuyProbateProperty.com/special-dvd

so let’s just say you set a very attainable goal of
completing only ONE transaction in the next
12 months and your goal of a bare bones profit
is $5,000.

What is the action you need to take tomorrow to
kick off your Probate venture?

How about looking up the address of your
courthouse….

how about seeing if Probate notices
are published online for your county….

how about seeing if a local business
paper publishes the notices?

You see, all of these are really, really easy steps.

Then what step do you need to take for day 2?

Maybe a trip to the courthouse, maybe seeing
how you can hire someone to do your research
for you. Day 3?

Can you see how if you just map out the real
simple and easy steps you need to take each day,
you can accomplish some major goals over the next
12 months?

So hopefully that helps a little but most
importantly I want to congratulate the both of
you on becoming debt free.

You are the envy of many, many other folks
throughout the country!”

*****************************************

That’s the note I sent and here’s my final comment.

This couple manages an apartment building.

Since the only free time they had was in the evenings
they decided to see if they could make extra money
by doing janitorial work in the evenings.

Then they decided to set up their own janitorial
business and get their own accounts.

Not a glamorous job nor an easy or high paying one…

but it was extra money and they did it.

It took a couple three years to reach their
debt free goal but it just goes to show what you
can accomplish if you set your goal and stick to it.

Focus, focus, focus!

P.S. Are you interested in becoming debt free
yourself?

I have personal friend who has a very
simple and inexpensive strategy that he can
show you. You can check it out here:

http://www.leoquinn.com/cmd.php?af=385900

I was recently reading an article on happiness
and it mentioned a unique exercise that the
author recommends to help each of us achieve
greater happiness.

The author stated that old attachments that we think
we “need” can hold us back from greater happiness.

Consequently, she suggested a powerful practice that
she had recently completed in order to strengthen her
willingness to let go of attachment.

This technique required her to GIVE AWAY 243 things-
27 items per day for nine days.

WOW! That would be quite a chore.

How did she come up with those numbers?
Well, that’s another topic for another day.

But the idea intrigued me as I sat in my
“chock-full-o-stuff” office filled with binders
and reports, books and CD’s,that I have accumulated
over the years….all held with the good intention
of reading or listening to some day.

“When might that day be Mr. Mead?” I hear my inner
voice ask.

Well……. just some day! I defensively answer.

But the article did get me to thinking…….
thinking about why many of us (including Me with a
capital M) are intrigued by real estate investing.

Is it because we need more to do?

Is it because we need another tri-plex?

Is it because we need to demonstrate our real estate
buying skills?

No, I don’t think any of those are the answer.

Here’s what I think.

Most of us decide to take up real estate investing
because we want to improve our financial situation.
We believe that having more money is what we need.

But like the proverbial precocious 5 year old who
asks the first question and when answered begins
the endless loop of “whys”, I would like to ask
you why?

Why do you need more money?

Now the first answers that pop into your head I’ll
bet are you want to pay off your bills, you want to
save for your kids education, you want a newer car,
pay off you mortgage, OBTAIN a mortgage…..

All material things you want to have or accomplish,
right?

But I ask you why again?

Why do you want either more things or less bills?

My suspicion is you really don’t want either of these two
but what you really want is more happiness.

What do you think?

Care to do the why, why, why exercise until you really
are honest with yourself?

I’ll bet bottom line is you believe that if you can
just get that Jaguar XKR Coupe parked in your
new five car garage, you’ll be happier.

Well, maybe.

But bottom line is we are all seeking more happiness
in our lives and if you are struggling to pay your
bills each month then you probably are not very happy.

So that’s where RE investing comes in.

As I have said many times, more fortunes have been
made by investing in real estate than any other
method.

The new Forbes report on the worlds wealthiest people
came out last week and if you read how each of them
made their fortunes, “Real Estate Investing” comes
up over and over again.

So the answer to the very basic why question you
just asked yourself is that you believe that
RE investing will ultimately make you happier.

That’s the real bottom line……and I agree!

So if you feel that you don’t have enough happiness
in your life, Dr. Ron prescribes you begin your
Real Estate investing career in earnest.

Hit it hard!

And there is no easier way to get started than Probate
Real Estate…..the simplest of all strategies.

Time to close…….got to find that Jaguar
brochure I picked up couple of weeks ago. I’m
sure it’s in here somewhere.

Enjoy your weekend!
