The VIP Method: "V" is for Vision

I'm going to be completely honest, when I first heard someone talking about 

"Vision" I couldn't help but think "What is all this touchy-feely 'Vision' crap?"

(Ok, I spent 4 years in the Marines and I grew up with a Scottish mother and 

an Italian father.  I probably said some more colorful stuff, but you get the point...)

In reality, I learned how important it is to have a clear Vision.  Identifying my 

Vision was key to getting to where I wanted to go, and became 

critical to my success in business and in Life

Allow me to explain it like this...

If you think of a map, you should consider a map is only helpful if you know 2 things:

The "V" in "VIP" stands for Vision.  Vision is Where you Want to Go

Vision is what YOU want to accomplish... Vision is what YOU want out of LIFE!

To be clear, Vision has nothing much to do with real estate, or even business.  

Vision is about defining, specifically, what you want your Life to look like 

You might be tempted to say "I just want to be a billionaire, so I can quit my job 

and do what I want.  I'll figure out my Life from there..." 

I'll admit, for a long time, I thought that way too

Here's what I experienced...

As an real estate entrepreneur, my default setting is set to "Do Work." 

But my Vision wasn't clear on what it was I was hoping to accomplish...

As a result, I kept slaving away... working this awful job I created, even after I didn't have to!

I've met a lot of very rich people who have expensive toys they never get to use.  

Those are the Time-Weary.  Having a crystal clear Vision, written down, will 

help ensure you don't become just like them...

Time-Weary... in bondage... a slave to how you produce income

The VIP Method: "I" is for Infrastructure

My Dad flew out to help me out once because he knew had badly I was 

struggling to run my rental business

He was my Hero.  A guy with an 8th grade education, 

he built a multi-million dollar trucking operation basically from scratch

While not particularly well-educated, my Dad knew about systems

He rode shotgun with me while he watched all the running around I was doing.  

He did his best to help (as much as a father can help his son) 

And I did my best to listen (as much as a son wants to listen to his father)

It was a strained situation at best... I did my best to be patient and hear 

his message...

But after 35 years in the trucking business, his approach was not 

exactly a soft place to land

"You have to have a system, for everything"  he said, looking around at the stacks 

of papers and unopened mail in my 4th bedroom, my makeshift office... just feeling 

all the judgement burning into me like a laser beam on my soul (at least that's what it felt like)

That particular trip did not turn out so well. He ended up leaving after a pretty heated

volley of insults.  It was not a good time for us... 

Fortunately we were able to patch things up a few years later.  What he was trying to 

tell me, was what I so desperately needed but was not ready to hear...

My business needed a system.  And a system starts with Infrastructure

In terms of the VIP Method, we covered "V" for Vision, let's talk about "I"

"I" stands for Infrastructure

Infrastructure is the "bones" of the business.  It's the basic stuff, the desks, 

the chairs, the computers, the property management software, and accounting software

It's all the stuff you need to run your processes on

Infrastructure is also the Asset Class you invest in.  Whether that's single 

family homes, multi-family, mixed-use commercial, parking garages, or self storage.  

You can also dial it down to A,B,C or D level properties based on quality

The reason Vision must come first is to provide a lens to look through so you 

can set up an Infrastructure that is in alignment with your Vision

I'll give you an example...

Let's say part of your Vision is to spend 2 months out of the year, laying on a 

beach, rubbing cocoa butter on your belly

If you set up an Infrastructure which requires you to return emails and phone calls 

right away, that's going to be terrible for you if you're laying on the beach rubbing 

cocoa butter on your belly!

This is why your Vision should be clear before you set up your Infrastructure

The VIP Method: "P" is for Process

With your Vision dialed in (why you're doing it), and Infrastructure in place, the last piece is Process

The Landlord Cycle starts from Day "0" when your property is empty, and brings you all the way through Day "365" of the entire lease cycle

 Day "0" is when someone is handing you keys, either at the closing 

table or from a tenant that is moving out.  Another way to think about it is Day "0" 

is where you're making ZERO dollars  

 Day "1" is where someone is handing you money, and they are being handed keys

Note: The most important thing is to get from Day "0" to Day "1" as quickly as possible.  

This is done using the Vacancy Checklist, which details every step that needs to be done

Once the Resident moves in, they are brought into the onboarding process:

 Day "7".  Do this part well, you could have a customer for Life

Do this part wrong (or not at all) and you're always playing from behind

 Day "30" is the first day of the Collections Cycle.  If you want to have a 

profitable business, this can't be left to chance where you assume people will 

always do what they say they will

In a year long lease, there will be multiple Collections cycles that run inside the Landlord Cycle

 Day "245" is the beginning of the Renewal Cycle and triggers the Renewal Checklist

If you've ever had a tenant move out because you forgot to have them 

sign a new lease (ask me how I know) then you know how aggravating that is!

This will not only help keep your places rented, but keep the rents at 

or close to market rates

Keep in mind not every person is someone you want to renew, due to bad 

payment history or perhaps their income has changed

The Renewal Checklist will help ensure you don't rely on assumptions about 

your Residents income that are months or years old 

 The last part of the Landlord Cycle is Day "365" which simply marks the 

end of the lease and the Landlord Cycle will then go back to Day "0" or to Day "1", 

and the cycle starts all over again.  

This lease is about laying out clear expectations...

Every good business has customers who know what's expected of them, and customers know what they can expect from the business.

With this lease, you clearly convey your expectations.  Residents know what's expected.

Here are some key features:

Note: This lease by itself is not a substitute for legal advice, so get your attorney to review this before using!

So how did I come up with those values?

Let's just look at The Vision Course and you'll see just how much value there is...

If you're household income is $130,000 a year.  Your income is roughly $62.5 per hour

($130,000 divided by 2,080 work hours in a year)  = $62.50 

Let's say The Vision Course, by itself, is able to get you 4 hours back in your week to spend with your Kids, or your Parents, or for a round of Golf...

4 hours a week times 52 weeks = 208 hours 

So how much is that 208 hours worth?  Well, if you make $130,000 a year (which is $62.50 an hour)

That's:

208 hours times $62.50 per hour = $13,000.00 is the value of your time you got back in one year! 

But, The Vision Course was only valued at $3,250?  Why didn't I value it at the higher?  

Not everyone will have the same level of success, and I don't want to make it seem unrealistic

Let's say, After you go through the ENTIRE Become a VIP in the Rental Business course, ALL you're able to get back is 1 hour a week.  An hour you can spend any way you want (this is highly unlikely to be just one hour, but follow along for the purpose of illustration)

So you've got back 1 hour a week times 52 weeks = 52 hours

How much is 52 hours worth? 

52 hours times $62.50 per hour = $3,250 (the value of The Vision Course)

If all you got from the entire Become a VIP in the Rental Business course is just one hour back in your week, this pays for the entire course nearly 1.5 times!  

And that's just the value of The Vision Course!  You still get The Infrastructure Course, The Process Course, The Download Library (to include the Million Dollar Lease) and all the Bonus Videos!   

One last thing: I'm about to make this offer truly irresistible and throw in one additional piece to this offer you're simply not going to believe... 

You'll be asked to make a decision in a minute, but you're going to want to see this first!

You might not believe what you're about to see...

Before I tell you what the last piece of the offer is, you should hear this quick story...

I had just published my first book, and I met someone at a local Real Estate Investors 

meeting who was kind of a big deal in the real estate speaking world

She saw my book at my display table and mentioned she had seen it around but 

hadn't had the chance to read it.  

So being curious, she pulled me aside to ask about it... 

I was so proud to tell her about the VIP Method and how it will change people's lives

She stood there and listened.  I couldn't help but think how impressed she would be 

after I poured all of my research and "brilliance" out to her

I wrapped up my mini-presentation, ready for my applause and standing ovation 

(even though we were already standing)

To which she said, 

"That's great that it worked for you, but how would I know it would work for me?" 

You could just about hear the air leaving my lungs like a deflated balloon...

Wait, where is all the fanfare and roses being thrown in my path?

Honestly though, it really is a great question

How can I be sure it will work for her?  For You?    

I will say, I'm quite confident it will.  But me saying it isn't enough.  So:  

I'm going to take away all the risk for you...

I'm going to offer you a complete, no questions asked, Money-Back Guarantee

That's right...if you get into the course and you don't love it... 

If it's not everything I said it would be and MORE... 

If it doesn't CHANGE YOUR LIFE for the better... 

Drop me an email, and you'll get all of your money back 

Does that sound good?

I'll even go one step further...

The way I see it, you have 3 options...

Option 1: Do nothing.  Your Life stays exactly the same and you get to go back to everything before you read this.  

Option 2: Put all these materials together yourself and slog through it on your own.  Potentially making all the same mistakes I made, or worse, making mistakes you might not recover from

Option 3: You let me be your guide to building your best Life and a great Business.  A Life and Business where you make the most money, with the least effort, in the least amount of time.  Fill out the form below and get started right now.

There's nothing left for you to do but decide...
