INSIDE YOUR JUNE 2009 SUCCESS CIRCLE INTERVIEW:

 

Tapped for Success, with Frank McKinney

 

Recently, I interviewed Frank McKinney. For nearly 25 years, Frank has been creating art in the form of the world’s most magnificent oceanfront estate homes, each set on a sundrenched canvas known as the Atlantic Ocean. Frank began his real estate career with a modest $50,000 fixer-upper in 1986, and completed his first $2.2 million spec home on the ocean in 1992. Since then, he has created and sold over 36 oceanfront properties, with an average selling price of over $15 million. His recently completed Acqua Liana is the world’s largest and most opulent triple certified “green” mansion, priced at a whopping $29 million!

 

Frank was recently featured on ABC’s 20/20, and he has also appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, Discovery Channel and the Travel Channel. His story has been featured on the cover of USA Today, and in publications including The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Fortune, Town and Country, and The Robb Report.

 

In addition to his unprecedented success as a real estate artist, Frank is a five-time best-selling author (which he accomplished in 3 different genres), a philanthropist, and an ultra-marathoner. This month he’ll compete in the 2009 Badwater Ultramarathon, a grueling 135-mile run through Death Valley!

 

This interview provides a rare opportunity to learn from one of the most visionary and courageous real estate entrepreneurs of our time. Watch your mailbox, because your package will be arriving soon.

 

Here’s some of what you’ll learn:

 

- Why now is the best time to get started investing in real estate

 

- A surefire formula for purchasing real estate (Violate the formula and you might be "snake bit!")

 

- Why the American Dream is more viable today than ever before…and why it’s important for you to defend it

 

- What Frank McKinney, Don King and Donald Trump do that you should, too!

 

- Why we are "tapped" to become responsible stewards

 

Here’s an excerpt from our interview:

 

“When you consider those six cycles that I just referenced and you consider the property value correction that we’ve been through over the last two years, regardless if you’re a full-time investor or not it is incumbent upon you as an American, as an entrepreneur, to own real estate. Look at the wealthiest people in the world—the Sam Zell’s of the world, the Donald Trump’s of the world. They’ve made their fortune in either commercial or residential real estate. Now why now? Because of the devaluation and the correction in values over the last couple of years mark my words that this is a buyer’s market unlike any time that I have ever seen and/or studied, and mind you, I went back pretty far in writing the Burst This! book, nor will I likely see in my lifetime. And if you’re new to the business one segment of the real estate marketplace that will be forever recession proof is the first time homebuyer market. What is that? Depending on your geographic area it is that first time homebuyer home, so for us down here in South Florida it might be a house worth $100,000 to $200,000. And so you would want to go out and find out what’s the price point for first time homebuyers and what are they buying in at. That’s the area that I spent six years honing my skills. That is an area where if you buy your real estate right, and now is the time to do it because banks are dumping their real estate portfolios like you wouldn’t believe, you go in there, you make one right purchase—one.”

One of the biggest mistakes people make is concentrating on one source of income.  They think that if they stay at one company they’ll eventually get rich. They think that if they work hard and perform well they’ll move up the corporate ladder. They think that if they keep getting raises, they’ll eventually make enough money.

But what happens if you get laid off? What happens if the industry you work in suffers economically? I’ll tell you what happens. That one source of income you’ve been relying upon is suddenly not so reliable.

That’s why I tell people that having multiple sources of income is one of the keys to working less and making more. If all your sources of income are up and firing, then you’re in great shape. And if one of them dries up, no big deal. You still have plenty of income sources to depend on.

The key is to develop profit centers that make sense. That means profit centers that generate money but don’t take up too much time. Yes, of course you’re going to need to devote a little time to your profit centers. I never promised you something for nothing! But if you develop a profit center that takes up 30 hours a week, and add that to your initial business that takes up 40 hours a week, you’ll soon be working 70-hour work weeks. And that’s not what working less and making more is all about!

One of the keys to developing a good profit center is to recognize your brilliance, and then to integrate it with innovation, adding value, and duplicating yourself. A good profit center adds a new twist and dimension to what you’re already doing.

One of the best examples is Martha Stewart. Martha’s brilliance is helping others create a comfortable home. She started out with a television show, then used her brilliance to publish a magazine, write several books, and even design and sell her own line of home accessories. If television were to be outlawed tomorrow, Martha wouldn’t have any worries. She’s got plenty of other streams of income to fall back on.

In the comment section below, let me know (1) your main source of income, and (2) new profit centers that you can develop in order to begin creating multiple streams of income.

Creating an empire takes a bit of thought, but as far as work goes it definitely falls under the fun and creative category. If you’ll make an effort to develop new profit centers, you’ll have other streams of income to fall back on, too!

INSIDE YOUR SEPTEMBER 2008 SUCCESS CIRCLE INTERVIEW:

 

The Psychology of Wealth Accumulation, with Kevin Hogan

 

Yesterday, I interviewed Kevin Hogan. If you don’t know Kevin, you should. He’s an author, motivational speaker, and the nation’s leading expert in the areas of body language and unconscious influence. Kevin is the author of 15 books (including The Psychology of Persuasion, a MUST read), and he teaches persuasion and influence skills to business and government leaders around the world.

 

If this interview could show you how to create the life you desired, adopt the mindset of the wealthy, and literally give you a step-by-step map to manifest your life filled with abundance — would you be interested? Then watch your mailbox, because your package will be arriving soon.

 

Here’s some of what you’ll learn:

 

- The relationship between psychology and wealth

 

- What prevents people from achieving financial freedom

 

- Why your struggle to achieve wealth has nothing to do with the mortgage crisis, or the domestic auto industry, or runaway costs of major expenses like education and healthcare

 

- The secret to wealth accumulation

 

- What steps you must take now to achieve financial independence

 

Here’s an excerpt from our interview:

 

“The second piece is that people who build and accumulate wealth have a totally opposite way of dealing with post failure, post rejection. It is simple; people who are going to stay in that middle class or in the lower classes of income they do this; they start a business in niche A after they have researched it they found out that this is a really good niche to be in, a good place to be, this is going to be valuable and then all of a sudden they start the business. The business fails and they give up and then they go 90 degrees around the circle and they go try something else. So instead of having a brick and mortar store on the corner which they had researched and done all the demographic research and all that kind of stuff; now they are going to try something on the internet. The guy who is on the internet doing one thing tries a totally different other thing. What happens because people have a steep educational curve that often has to happen is they fail because they go from point to point to point. But the wealthy people, they fail at the pizza business and then they open up a new pizza store. They fail at that one and then they open up a new one and the second one, the third one, the fourth one is what connects, is what hits. So the person who is wealthy goes in a straight line where the person who ends up not wealthy, who does not accumulate any wealth and I am talking about even a quarter of a million dollars in an IRA or $100,000 in an IRA, they tend to bounce around. They don’t ever even have a single focus. It takes a few focuses to be securely wealthy. You have to have at least one focus to start and most people will just try stuff and then they will retire from the project as soon as it fails and go that is it. This didn’t work so I will go do something completely different.”
