The Great Investor Nutralizer !

admin — Sat, 29 May 2010 02:28:06 +0000

Everything is working just as planned inspite of a few glitchs.

I’m not surprised but I will admit that things went better than I had expected!

Because one of the deals involved flipping it became very obvious that wholesaling was the most
challengeing of all because it involved getting the end buyer’s approval.

The Great Investor Equalizer

Fortuantly, our end buyer was local and a very experienced investor. This helped but
most investors simply don’t have a high level of financing sophication so there’s always
the teaching and training to give them the confort they need.

Remember, investors are basically GREEDY by nature and will try all sort of things to get your price down.
However, when you tie the financing into the deal, the game changes.
We were able to get the FULL appraised price for all our properties because
we had the financing that most investors can’t get . And we know it!

Having the financing in place has proven to be the great equalizer.
“Pay my price or get your own financing” is the phase that pays.

We were able to get all the deals placed to a tune of $600K .
In my opinion, the program is best used for purchasing for your own portfolios.
My first contact with the Bank was on May 7, 2010.

In less the 20 Days we were able to get both offers approved and to get the financing in place for
both Deals. Again, the flip adds an additional level of complexity to the deal dynamics.

99% Commercial Financing Creates Havoc

Durante Parks — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 07:49:35 +0000

99% Financing Program Creates Havoc -Ending Soon

Since the release of our 99% commercial Financing program, our support center has been swamped, all the phone lines are busy, and a major interruption in our normal business flow and there doesn’t seem to be an end in site.

We could add additional staff but that’s an option I’ll pass on. Here’s why !

I’ve never intended to be a full time investor or financier. That doesn’t fit my lifestyle.
What I’ve shared with this program is how you can use 1 simple program, using 1 client, and 1 transaction and walk away with $1,000,000.00 and repeat the process every 2 years.

This System Was Designed To Be Used Yearly ! Not Daily!

I understand the excitement this program can create and the opportunities it makes available but
at the end of the day, there has to be balance and order.

So I’ve decided to create a compromise rather than ending the program completely!
I’ll continue to work with the players on their current and future projects but I’m not taking
any new projects or clients.

Here’s the compromise

Rather than having you to bring me your deals, I going to include this system in our new training program that starts April 2010.

Immersion Learning Really Works- Ask Betty

admin — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 05:52:39 +0000

Our B.I.G.G. 3 Day Workshop Is Live!

I wanted you to be among the first to know that we have finalized our 2009 Live Workshop. It’s hard to believe that it was 22 months ago since our live workshop.

We’ve secured a 3 Star Hotel with special room discounts for single and double rooms. The rates we have in place are $79.00 per night on both single and double rooms.

If you fly in, you can take a shuttle from the Airport directly to the Hotel , so you won’t need a rental car unless you want to.

I like it when I can write letters like this one to my friends and customers. No need to try to sell you anything because you are already sold on me, my products and my crazy mannerisms. I want you know that I really appreciate your support and encourage over the years. A lifetime member is a lifetime commitment.

Why the new training format?

As you know, I’m the one that is always looking for a pattern to anticipate. I do a lot of observing and possibility thinking. Here’s what I noticed.

Virtual Training Doesn’t Work As Well As We Thought

I’ve been operating a online training program since 2004. The Internet is a really cool way to earn a income. I’ve made a lot of money online and will continue to do so for years to come. I think that everyone should have at least 2 online income streams.

The Internet has made massive amounts of information available to everyone that has a internet connection. The Internet is a very very powerful resource. But it isn’t the best mode for training and learning. Let me explain myself…

Success for me is no longer defined exclusively in DOLLARS. Although we can measure financial success by simply counting. But success to me is measured in more ways.

Although my income has continue to increase year after year, I could say that I am a successful.

I measure differently. Actually, I measure success on 5 levels.

Spiritual Success
Mental Success
Physical Success
Financial Success
Social Success

This means I can be a financial success and a mental failure..

or, I can be a mental success and a financial failure, or I can be a spiritual success and a physical failure. Get my point.

I wouldn’t consider a person with million of dollars and terminal cancer to be a success. There are levels and degrees of success.

Although I’ve achieved a great deal of financial success, I am really concerned about why some people are more successful than others. And here is where things begin to get a bit interesting.

“Why Are Some Students More Successful Than Others?”
“Why Do Students With The Least Seems To Achieve the Most?”

After training over 500 students, I feel I am qualified to speak on this based on actual observations and not theory. Here goes!

Bob And Betty Mystery

“Bob And Betty enrolled in our training program together. Neither had any previous experience nor did they own their own homes.

Bob had a masters Degree in Accounting and Betty had a BS Degree in Home Economics.

On the surface, we would give Bob the added advantage in succeeding based on his education level right!

Both had access to the same information and the results were totally opposite.

Betty closed 3 deals in 6 months and pocketed over $250,000 and developed 3 new skill sets and never completed all the training.

Bob has gone through the training program 4 times and has YET to earned any income at all. ” It seems that the more Bob learns, the less he knows and understands.

Betty’s success was due to using an “Immersion Learning System”

Immersion Learning is defined as

“concentrating on one course of instruction, subject, or project to the exclusion of all others for several days or weeks; intensive: an immersion course in conversational French.
state of being deeply engaged or involved; absorption
an act or instance of immersing.

We’ve All Used Immersion Learning In The Past

In elementary school, I attended 5 days a week for several years and then graduated… This was Immersion learning

The same was so in High School and College… This was Immersion learning

Secure Your Seat Here

Here’s the pattern:
The information was frequent: DAILY
The information was intensive :

The information was cumulative.

We went to school often and were overwhelmed with information and repetition daily. The end result was “Graduation”

The Secret To Betty’s Success!

Betty used an immersion training format and Bob didn’t.

I noticed that my most successful students were those that I coached and those that came to my office and spent a few days with me. 98% of these student were very successful in reaching their goals. It wasn’t me, it was immersion learning.

On the other hand, my virtual students had a very low success rate even though that had more information and had it often.

Secure Your Seat Here

What success means to me now.

For me success now is measured in terms of how many people I can help to achieve their goals and dreams. In other words, I want to be a success coach and have elected to achieve that goal by integrating immersion learning into my new training programs.

Our New Training Formula

1. A Profitable Method

2. The Right Tools

3. The Right Support Environment

4. The Right System

We will now start our training with live workshops and then use my sites, forums and blogs as resource centers.

That’s why I’ve elected to return to the live workshop training format. But I’ve added some really cool tools that I’ll share with you later…..

To get the most from your current membership, attend this Workshop if at all possible.

My new training program is 3 Day Brain Washing and Success programming system that is nothing less than Divine!

Here’s The Challenge

I only have 50 seats reserved and over 6000 people on my list. The first movers will get the seats and you have a 24 hour advance notice to get into the class.

Here’s what I need for you to do…. If you want to attend this event, then your should book your seat NOW. Secure Your Seat Here

NOTE: We’re keeping the location secret. Once you register, you will receive the booking information you need.

Hope to see you in Atlanta!

A New Change

Durante Parks — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:42:29 +0000

There are realities of business that never change. The first is that in business everything changes all of the time. It’s true; change is our only business constant. Winning today only gives you permission to compete again tomorrow. It’s that constant refining process that continues to make America the most productive nation in history.

A perfect example of change is the TopGun Training Sites. Over the past 4 years, we have assembled the largest resource center for Commercial Financing and investing.

We’ve invested thousand of dollars in technology and research to make our sites complete. We now have thousands of pages of content, videos and audios for our members.

We now realize that the massive content in our sites have been overwhelming to many and have elected to integrate a new training module.

The 2009 Economic Recovery Act has forced us to make some major operational changes. Inorder to stay ahead of the curve, we must stay on top of the latest trends and changes in our market.

It would be a major dis-service to our company and to our members not integrate the power of the Economic Recovery Act and the opportunities it presents. The challenge is the massiveness of the programs that are now available. It would take months to list the details of over 1,600 programs that are administered through over 200 federal agencies and thousand of state and local agancies.

So we’ve elected to integrate this training via live workshops first and then use our web sites for support after the workshop.

This approach has worked very well in the past and permits my team and I to work closer helping individuals identify their goals and to help them to locate the financing or grants they need.

Granted the personal approach will limit our class size but will increase increase our success rates.

Our first workshop using this module will be November 23,24, and 25 in Atlanta. Current members will be given first choice to attend and deep discounts.

More details and ordering information will be posted on this Blog in September, 2009.

New Lifetime Memberships

Durante Parks — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 08:43:43 +0000

BIG MEMBERSHIP CHANGES

We’ve decided to make several changes in out online membership structure.

Due to the success of our 12 Month Giveaway, we’ve elected to make the following membership changes. Beginning in mid July, we will offer the following memberships.

1. 12 Month Memberships

2. 6 Month Memberships

3. Lifetime Memberships

We are eliminating the “Monthly Memberships Completely”.

However, anyone with a monthly membership may keep it as long as they want.
Thes memberships will remain active, we simply won’t take any new monthly memberships once the conversion are complete.

This creates a window of opportunity for individuals wanting to get a monthly membership at a reduced rate.

I’ll explain more about this in a more detailed post later this week. In the meantime, here’s an opportunity to emroll in our commercial financing training programs for only $99.99.

The complete sales page can be seen here:

The discount link can be found here:

Our Lifetime membership sales page can be seen here;
http://www.topgunworkshops.net/lt/1

We’ve began doing new JV deals and have launched our new “Deal Share” program and several Online JV’s with our members. Some of the results have been simply mind blowing.

Imagine being able to offer a 12 Month Scholorship for your online marketing. Conduct a contest, build a big list fast and profit $30k to $50k in 30 days…..

Or hosting an event in your city and walking and earning $500.00 to $1000.00 per seat. And to have an exclusive in your city. You can do as many of these as you want.
Our JV opportunities go way beyond creative financing…..

I’ll be sharing more about this in the weeks to come.

In the meantime, grab your slot while the opportunity is available.

What are your ideas ? I’m listening ….
