John T. Reed’s Views of Various Real Estate Investment Gurus
You wake up in the middle of the night - unable to fall back to sleep, so you start flipping through the channels. Undoubtedly, you will come across a station - where a nicely dressed person in an exotic location is telling how rich he or she became selling real estate. Then you hear testimony after testimony from people stating how they too became rich by following the gurus advice. Depending on how your day was at work - you start contemplating calling and giving it a shot. I remember in the late 80’s, I almost signed up for Robert Allen’s no-money down seminar. However, a friend who had attended it in the past talked me out of it. He saved me a few bucks, because then - like now real estate was in a recession.John T. Reed reviews all of gurus past and present including Robert Allen, Wade Cook, Robert Kiyosaki, Carleton Sheets, Donald Trump and many more.It pained me to read his review of Robert Kiyosaki. After reading his quite elaborate review, I was almost embarrassed to say that I learned anything from Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad

couraged me by speaking into my mind and gave me a purpose to do some research into Him and His life and get to know Him the best that I could.

Without a lady in my life, Jesus has been a whole lot more important to me than perhaps the average Christian guy and He has been very faithful to me, kind to me and gentle. He is a good teacher, He is patient with my sins and my faults and He gives me purpose and inspiration.

I cannot ever express fully enough the great service my wife did for me on that day by telling me to leave her. I cannot express how happy I am that she had the courage to give marriage a second go and close the door for me and her re-uniting as this pain has made my faith very strong.

Hiring Gretchen
I often travel the country speaking to various companies and franchise associations on the topic of great service. While on the road, I try to take those opportunities to visit chains not found near my North Texas home. On two of those trips, I visited Culver's locations in the Chicago area and Mukwonago, Wisconsin.While in the Culver's in Mukwonago, I had the pleasure to meet a server we'll call “Gretchen.” The ordering process was standard, but the service was extra-friendly as two or three people actually said hello to me as I entered the building. It's nice not to be greeted with “Next” or “Ready to order?”While I stared at the menuboard, Gretchen asked what I would like and helped by making a few suggestions. I was soon out of the menu-panic mode and placing an order. Further, when I asked if I could pick up my dessert later, my request was cheerfully granted—far different from the sigh and eye-roll that same request has earned at other places.Culver's employs a semi-service system where you place your order at a cashier, fill your own beverage, and w

I have to say that having the wife of your youth tell you to leave and not to come back is a very hard thing to hear. I don’t really think I fully understood the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty until that tragic day and the years that followed. But this article is about the positive things I learned.

Lesson one-I learned to love myself

I learned that a half a person and a half a person cannot combine and make two people, they only make what is called a co-dependent relationship. A person that feels that they are unworthy of love suddenly finding someone that loves them, is not good fortune. In many instances its simply a recipe for tragedy.

After my wife left me and the years that followed, I went through a process of healing and addressing the pain in my heart and came to a place where I learned to love myself. One way to find this love that God allowed was that I found out what I was good at. One day I wrote a poem and then it seemed good and I wrote another and then within a year I had hundreds and then within two years I had written a novel.

After a couple of novels and two movie screenplays I was confident that I was a gifted communicator and able to get my heart down on a page both in fiction and non fiction.

Lesson two- I learned to forgive

The years that passed after the marriage breakdown was hard for me as my former wife fought with me over custody and made it difficult to see my son on a few occasions. This culminated after a number of years when she told me that I could not see my son any more. She had recently re- married a lovely guy and they felt there was no need for me to be in my son’s life any more

This hurt me very deeply as I loved my eight year old boy Brandyn. Today it’s been seven years since I have seen my son and I miss him very much. I respect my former wife and her husband’s decision and have not been in contact all this time.

This pain ate at me for a number of years and I came to a point where I simply had to let go of all the pain and forgive. I started a process of remembering all the bad things that my wife had done to me and asking God to help me forgive my wife. Through the years I have applied this process to other relationships I have had also.

Today I am happy to say I love my wife more today than I loved her at any time while we were married. Today I love myself and I pray quite regularly for her marriage, her own inner healing and for that family to be blessed.

Lesson three- I developed a better relationship with Jesus Christ

For those of you who are not of the Christian faith I don’t mean to offend you, but I encourage you to read and I will try not to preach at you but simply continue sharing my story.

Up until the time my wife told me to leave, Jesus had always been important to me but he was always an optional extra in life and not my life’s central focus or desire. When the love of my life left me, my best friend, I was lost at sea and I was drowning and there did seem to be nothing to live for.

It’s as though Jesus came to me in that moment one day on a mountain top as the sun was setting and asked me to get serious with Him. I was so very sad, very suicidal and I had no other reason to live. Jesus encouraged me by speaking into my mind and gave me a purpose to do some research into Him and His life and get to know Him the best that I could.

Creative Presentation Openers That Work - How to Capture Your Audience's Undivided Attention
Most presenters begin their presentation in the usual manner…“Hello my name is Fred Flintstone and I am here today to discuss technology in pre-historic times.”While your name can be very interesting (especially to you), it is not a very compelling way to begin a presentation. I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but when you begin this way, audiences usually forget your name and worse yet, they forget YOU!A great way to begin a presentation is with an attention-getting device that will get the audience EXCITED about listening to the rest of your presentation. Some of the best ways I have found to capture the audience’s attention are:1. Rhetorical Question – A rhetorical question is a question to which no response is needed. Rhetorical questions are designed to be thought provoking, rather than answered out loud. An example of a rhetorical question might be, “If you were trapped on an island and could only have three things, what three things would you choose?” Not only does the audience begin thinking about how they would answer you

Fed Up With eBay?
For many people, their first experience of working online involves selling products on eBay. This was how I got started back in 1998 and I know countless other people that have done the same.However, it is important to remember that eBay is not the 'be all and end all' - there is a much bigger online world out there. My reason for mentioning this is that I have spoken to three people this week who each make a decent full or part-time income on eBay but who are fed up with it and looking to move in other directions.Having sold on eBay myself, I can understand why sellers do get tired/bored/frustrated with the auction site - it is highly competitive and it takes an incredible amount of hard work to succeed. In addition, it is normally the case that the more successful you become, the harder you have to work. Listing auctions, handling customer enquiries, packing, shipping, sourcing/buying stock, keeping up with feedback, monitoring the competition - selling on eBay is a tough job and it is no wonder that after working in this way for a few years, many people wi

The Two Keys to Successful Niche Marketing
Selling a product within a specific market niche can be a financially rewarding exercise. Niche marketing is on the rise, as savvy marketers recognize the lucrative opportunity presented by smaller, underserved markets. However, in order to successfully exploit its power, one must possess and understand the two keys to successful niche marketing.Finding the Right NicheWith all the marketing hype online, it’s easy to convince yourself that any niche can be a massive financial winner if targeted. However, this is not true. It is essential to find and isolate particular niches, but you must also be able to “read” them, in order to determine whether or not there is really a strong likelihood that they can be successfully penetrated and exploited.This requires an understanding of the niche, its demographics and tendencies. For many marketers, this effort is simply too time-consuming and complicated to undertake. Fortunately, services like Easy Niche Products can do the work for the marketer.

Real Estate Marketing for Real Estate Investors
Real estate investing is a great way to build wealth world wide. The only problem is everyone wants to be involved in real estate, but most don't know how. They think they will do it when the time is right, which it never is. The time is right now, as right as it ever will be. That being said, many new investors jump into the market without a good game plan and fall out just as quickly as they jumped in. If you are new to real estate and want to look at the most deals (qualified leads, not houses on the MLS) you need a good marketing campaign. There are many ways to generate leads from motivated sellers. You can use direct mail, street signs, flyers, business cards, newspaper advertisements and more. You can target preforeclosures, you can try to buy at the courthouse steps or you can search the MLS with a realtor for run down houses. All of these marketing angles have a chance of leading you to a deal. However, if you want to shoot fish in a barrel you have to think on a much higher level.To produce your own television commercial can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Lesson four-I came to understand how Jesus feels about His church

In the Bible God speaks though human writers and compares Jesus’ relationship with His church as a bride and a groom. Jesus was single on earth and never married so that He could in fact take the place of being the groom to all the people that placed their faith in Him and chose Him to run their life.

So many Christians live a life where Jesus has become an optional extra like He was in my life. It’s as if they take other lovers and Jesus is left to weep and wish that they would simply have a more devoted relationship with Him. My wife left me for another man because I wasn’t fulfilling her heart’s desire well enough broke my heart and over the years I have come to have empathy with Jesus Christ where we relegate Him to second or third place in our life.

So many people have no real idea how much Jesus loves them and even though He has many commands in the Bible He doesn’t give them to be a “party pooper” but He gives them as wise directions on how to live a happy and fulfilled life on earth. Taking Jesus’ commands for a test drive and submitting to obey them is really a wonderful way to live and the more you obey and do things His way the more closer you seem to get to Him and you seem to see the profound depth in His simple teachings.

We often do not obey Jesus because we really don’t think He can love us and provide for us like another human can or a career can. We spend our energies on human relationships and spend our time doing things and we all seem to get too busy to spend an hour with Jesus and He really weeps with sorrow for us as He knows just how fulfilled and how happy would be if we simply loved Him like we would a real person on earth that wanted time with us each day.

Losing a wife, seeing her fall in love with another man gave me insight into how Jesus feels when we replace His place in our lives with other people and other activities.

Lesson five- I learned how God feels about all the humans that don’t know him.

Losing my wife was such a sad thing for me and I needed some really big help from a trained counselor so that I did not kill myself.

One day in the garden of Eden God lost his family the humans that were to populate earth. He was so filled with sorrow, that in the garden He promised Adam that one day he would make a restoration.

Losing my wife was hard and seeing my son part time was hard, but when I lost total contact with my son, that hurt me so very much. God in his grace does not allow me to think of my son every day and this is good as it tears at my heart. Imagine how God feels with humans being born each day but never coming to know Him and trust in His Son Jesus Christ.

God lost his Son one day also when his Son’s spirit left heaven and went to earth in the baby Jesus. The “dark side” knew something was happening as the current king of the day slaughtered every single baby boy in the region under a certain age, just like the “dark side” did when Moses was born.

For a few years on earth I believe God was out of touch with his Son. There is no mention of the time when Jesus could hear His Father speaking to Him in the Bible and so most preachers are silent on it, but I reckon Jesus and God were not in communication for up to six years. This would ha
