So when my dear friend, Suzanne, showed up at one of my Think and Grow Rich Master Mind groups in May 2008, gushing about this new company she had heard about, I was, to say the least, a bit skeptical. She tried really hard to get me to come to a meeting, but I wasn't open to it.
One night in August 2008, she casually emailed me that there was a meeting that Thursday night and asked if I wanted to come and just check out the company. I invited my 21 year old son to come with me, and we both sat through this most incredible two hour presentation! Both of us saw the opportunity. My son had been wanting to get more educated in real estate investing, and he saw this as that opportunity. I saw a different opportunity. I saw that the whole system was really quite an ingenious wealth building system, and that intrigued me.
I had been working at the same company for 10 years as their CFO. I had 35 years of accounting experience, but one of my true passions is in psychology; psychology because I want to help people live the lives they are meant to live. I saw that by marketing Nouveau Riche's products, I could definitely help people live the lives they were meant to live.
And as it happens, I had just paid down my credit cards, so I had enough money to put the education on my credit card, and I bought it that night.
Since then, my son has been learning more and more about real estate investing, and he is chomping at the bit to get started. I have been honing my skills as a marketer, which has been a bit more of a learning curve than I had expected, but the gifts I have gained from the process have been priceless.
I am developing a greater level of self-confidence and ease in talking to people. Remember, I was an accountant for 35 years! I was really good at sitting in a corner with my calculator and my spreadsheets! I had to push myself past all sorts of fears and blocks. Talk about stretching myself!
And I am succeeding! I am turning more and more people on to this awesome opportunity, as well as venturing out to do deals with others in the community. It is very exciting. Just this month, I have generated over $10,000 in commissions!
I am so glad that I got over my cynicism and took a chance.
