From JOB (Just Over Broke) to FREE (Flourishing Real Estate Entrepreneur)

I was raised to believe that struggle and effort were the natural order of life. Although I was fortunate to own a hardware and building supply store, I was a slave to the business and worked sixty to eighty hour weeks. I was constantly overwhelmed with worries—stressed by long hours and still not having enough to comfortably support my family. I fretted about not having adequate money for retirement and feared losing everything.

My wife Julie and I began investing in real estate, and we soon owned twelve properties. However, these properties left us even more cash strapped, so we became cynical about the whole notion of investing. What started out as excitement, soon turned to fear. Disagreements escalated, and jealousy reared its ugly head. The constant worry took a toll on our relationship. Instead of looking for solutions, we judged, blamed and mistrusted each other. And concepts from our very different upbringings added fuel to the fire.

I was a spender who had little regard for budgeting or watching my finances. Julie on the other hand, lived in constant fear of lack. TALK ABOUT TENSION! Credit card debt and feelings of overwhelm were familiar, but unwelcome, guests. Life was a struggle with no light at the end of the tunnel.

The weekend that changed everything …

An event in October 2003 would shake our world so much that we would never look at our lives in the same way again. That event was the Millionaire Mind Intensive. It was like removing blinders and seeing for the first time. As we went through the processes, Julie and I experienced one epiphany after another. We recognized our own and each other’s long-held beliefs and patterns. Fears dissipated and the trust between us was restored. And that was only the beginning.

The weekend left us with an insatiable hunger for more learning about how to improve our lives, so we jumped right in and signed up for the Quantum Leap Program.Between 2004 and 2005, we attended Life Directions, followed by Guerrilla Business School, the Enlightened Warrior Camp and the following year we took the World's Greatest Marketing Seminar. Every course was joyous and mind blowing.

Soon, my business began to flourish. My relationship with Julie grew more harmonious and loving. Everyday we expressed gratitude for all the gifts we received from Peak Potentials Training. Then, in August 2005, something even more remarkable happened …

A Wizard is born!

Wizard Camp was the defining point for me; it was the place where my life catapulted from great to extraordinary. It was at Wizard Camp that I tasted my first experience of pure bliss. My heart blew open wide with unconditional love and acceptance for others. I experienced an inner knowing that everything is already perfect and that the universe is abundant and ready to bless us with all our heart’s desires.

Best of all, it was effortless. In fact, the less I did, the more things came to me. My need to figure things out or struggle to make things happen was gone. A trust was born deep inside me, and I was humbled in knowing that everyone of us possessed unlimited ability and intelligence to be powerful creators.

After Wizard Camp, what had been merely concepts in my mind were made real by my experience. Knowing that all I had to do was put out my intention, get out of the way and just show up, was liberating.

My life now …

I no longer have to work. I now have the greatest managers running my business and I didn’t even have to advertise to recruit them. All I did was put out my intention…and they appeared. It was a perfect win-win for everyone. And, sales have doubled over the past three years!

Each year, we treat ourselves to a minimum of three months vacation time, traveling whenever and wherever we choose. This February we’re off to New Zealand for a month, and have long breaks planned for the summer.

Julie and I have immersed ourselves in real estate investing and developing. Our net worth has skyrocketed from $500,000 to over $2 million since being introduced to the courses and camps of Peaks Potentials Training. In fact, right after attending Wizard Camp, Julie bought three apartment buildings fearlessly and without hesitation.

On a scale of one out of ten, every day is at least an eight. We go with the flow and it is rare to have one bad day in the course of a month. Our relationship has reached a higher and deeper connection and our friends wonder how we can stay so happy and unaffected by circumstances.

Peak Potentials Training provided the solvent to get us unstuck from old thinking. We took the leap, and opened doors to limitless possibilities. We walk in gratitude… Thank you!
