I am a 29 yr old father of three I currently rent a 2/1 home which is to small for my family. My original interest in Deans book was to just acquire a decent home @ an affordable price for us to live in.

I bought Be a real estate millionaire almost exactly one year ago. A couple weeks later I was contacted by a representative of Deans, and enrolled into a real estate program shortly after. I studied the course in my spare time(which wasn't a whole lot, with a fulltime job and split custody of three children). I was soooo excited, I felt alive with hope and direction. I told everyone I knew how this was going to change my life and theirs if they chose to be enlightened! BUT, to my dismay they ALL told me negative things, laughed and one even dubbed it "Shanes Pipe Dream" at work. This really took a lot of steam out of my vision. I still decided to continue with the steps outlined for me in my program. I did the demographic homework the business and property research and read the suggested book( which I wont mention cause it Wasn't Deans). I could see the light, But also felt the tug of war between my soul and my doubts. It came time to find my team, to research and contact RE agents, brokers, lenders and buyers. It took a lot of pacing back & forth and fear facing what ifs, but I made the call....... And the worst thing happened, The RE agent was a 20yr pro. (as an agent not an investor) he tore into me, embarrassed me and insulted me and I hung up the phone. Then I'm ashamed to say I QUIT!! I walked away and pursued other things. I put most of my effort into my Sheet metal Career.

fast forward.........

I picked up Deans book the other day and started reading it! I feel the urge again, the light, I see it! Im enrolled in Deans classes and im hittin them hard this time, completing weekly assignments and this time (unlike last time) im going to utilize the support of Deans coaches and all the great pepole at this site for support. And the most important thing, im going to partisipate in helping others as often as possible!! No ones stopping me this time, naysayers get out of my way!!!!

I was laid off on Tuesday 10-27. The funny thing is, it made me happy. I now have the time and energy to pursue my dreams, to be who I know deep in my gut I am. I'm NOT a blue collar work horse. I'm a fun loving family man who wants financial freedom as well as Valuable time with his young children..

I'm going to study this book and the other one I just ordered until I can recite them in my sleep. Then(or possibly while I study)I'm going to start from the bottom with assignment of contracts till I earn enough money to acquire my own investment properties.

If there is any one out there who wants an extra set of eyes and ears on the street, an apprentice or just a like minded friend to bounce ideas off of, please don't hesitate to contact me!!
