How to Make a $l,000,000
Millions of folks just like me spend countless hours and huge sums of money shopping in big box home improvement stores. Unlike me however, most shoppers are looking for new ideas and Products they can use around the home for improvements and personal enjoyment.
Big box shoppers are an ambitious bunch, I’ve found – and many are quite skilled working with their hands. They love fiddling around the house, fixing stuff, and installing new gizmos. My good friend Everett is hopelessly hooked! He never seems to run out of new ideas. So far, he’s added two new rooms on his house – and completely remodeled the bathroom twice – since catching the bug!
What I’m saying here – the guys and gals who show up bright and early weekend mornings with hand scribbled shopping lists don’t consider replacing floors, building fences or remodeling the bathroom, chores beyond their reach. Even when they botch up a job – they don’t quit! They might kick the wall, or even read the instructions – but they’ll do it over till they get it right! The way I figure, these kinds of people deserve to be millionaires. Let me share a few thoughts about how that could happen.
That bug, my friend caught is called the home improvement bug, and it’s highly contagious! It also creates an overpowering addiction that few do-it-yourself types can walk away from till it runs its course. Fortunately, for those who catch it – it’s the very same bug that can make you a millionaire. Let me explain what I mean, since I was once a victim!
When I was younger – I had the most over-improved house in my subdivision! I was constantly re-doing everything – and when I finished, I’d start all over again – improving my improvements! One day a good friend of mine dropped by to see my house. He suggested, rather than to keep doing the same things over again – why don’t you use your skills on another house? My friend’s visit that day would change my life forever! It wasn’t long afterwards; I discovered how easy it was to convert my handyman skills and personal ambition into a profit-making opportunity. I can tell you from experience – there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between working at a hobby without any pay – and being the highest paid handyman in the neighborhood.
In my best-seller book, “INVESTING IN FIXER-UPPERS”, McGraw Hill Publishers, in the very first chapter, I inform my readers that – big money is earned by working smarter - not harder! The average saw mill worker in my hometown can expect to earn $1,200,000 during his working career assuming of course, he keeps stacking lumber the next 40 years. My book explains that with just a little bit of financial training -using the same house fixing skills that most handy folks already have – it’s very possible to create a sizable monthly income and financial security for a lifetime.
Most investors, including myself, who set out to build real estate wealth – or earn a million dollars, are wanting to do it while we still have some breathing time left on the planet to enjoy it! In my fixer-upper book, I explained to readers how I fixed up my Hillcrest property and earned a million dollars, same as the mill worker – the big difference was, it only took two years of my time! The key to building wealth and long-term financial security is not only about the amount of money you make; but how long will it take you to make it!
In my book, I will show you dozens of practical investment techniques and strategies, ideally suited for small-time, do-it-yourself investors, both part-time and full-time! I started as a part-time investor, moonlighting while working for the telephone company. After 23 years, and a string of rental houses under my belt, I mustered up the courage to quit my telephone job and begin a full-time investment career! Without a steady paycheck, it doesn’t take very long to realize – cash flow properties are the only kind you want.
You’ll find my investment strategies work equally well for brand new folks and old salts alike because I only recommend the kind of properties that will pay for themselves. I’ll show you how to earn profits much faster than inflation, even faster than you can spend them and a lot quicker than the tax man (IRS) can snatch them from you!
Making a $1,000,000 is not the least bit unusual. In fact, nearly every wage earner with a decent job will earn a million dollars! The only question is when? How long will it take to get the money
