Do You Earn A Massive Passive Income?!

June 29, 2007 · Leave a Comment

“You’re not obligated to win.

You’re obligated to keep trying
to do the best you can every day.”
Marian Wright Edelman
Activist for children’s rights

Did you know one of the declarations of the very wealthy is…?

“The less I work, the more I earn.”

I’m just back and still coming down to earth after attending T. Harv Eker’s latest masterpiece, “Never Work Again“…and once again, the man has astounded and amazed us all!

I just realized this morning that as he grows so does his work and his ability to transform his students right there on the spot!

I am reminded again just how blessed I am to have somehow stumbled right into the perfect place for me once again! I live a beautiful life. It’s my intention that others get even a taste of what that
feels and looks like for them.

Never Work Again” – 1000 people in one room over 4 information-packed days of back to back
presenters, speakers and trainers on a diverse range of passive income structures and systems – all of them packaged up so that we could choose that which resonated most or was within our
personality and price range. There were opportunities that you could buy and those that one builds…whether one had time or money, there was something for everyone! Harv’s audio/visuals
team is getting great at entertaining us all and making it fun!

Some people were walking out of the room after the seminar to return home to quit their job!! A quarter of the room had arrived from Atlanta having JUST attended the “Millionaire Mind Intensive”
there 2 days before…their lives will NEVER be the same!

I’ll be dumping my notes out into this writing so that you can explore some fresh new options too!

Oh yeah, and my favorite parts; the dancing, the accelerated learning techniques and practices that led to my own shifts in perspective, and hanging out with some of my favorite people in the world! I created new partnerships, met with the energy of excited newly opening people and fresh new projects and ideas to run and play with. Harv helped one fellow propose to his partner by surprise, on stage in front of the whole room! The place went wild! It was a very special few moments.

There is an underlying social culture that has developed from years of attending courses and camps together, they are my “like-minded” crowd, there’s marriages and babies being born from with it. I personally call it “The Peaks Bubble“, others that are familiar with Harv’s work and systems call it, “the bottom of the funnel”, it has a certain “high-energy” about it, when you enter or leave it, you know it.

I bought Harv’s “MMI
home-study course in the fall of October 2002. I listened to those tapes numerous times over the next couple of years. At the end of 2004 as I was transitioning out of my corporate position, I was considering what my next level of learning and self-education should be…I decided I finally had the time and money together to study with Harv, I knew that I would find all I needed to propel my self-development and business forward. As I was about to go looking for when and where the next MMI was being held, I received an email that the first MMI in the East was being held in Toronto, Harv’s hometown! Oh happy day! I realized that my willingness to do whatever it took to get there was abundantly rewarded with something perfect – Harv was an hour away – he came to me!!

When I left my corporate employer I had a batch of stock in my name. I left it sit and saw it as a contingency fund should an opportunity arise to use it. Well that opportunity was in the form of a Peak Potentials Quantum Program Registration, Harv’s 3 to 4 year program of almost all of his courses! I found it amusing that I had EXACTLY the amount of value in my stocks as the incredible deal offered to me. It was a no-brainer/slam-dunk decision. I have appreciated every penny I have invested into Peak’s programs which = an investment in “Me”. My commitment to playing full out with my own learning has returned abundant wealth, health and happiness – absolutely!

I’ve registered both my son and I for the newest seminar not even off the presses yet! I took Isaac to Warrior camp with me 2 years ago and he still says it was the best week he’s ever had!
I can hardly wait for that one!

If you have attended a Peak Potentials “Millionaire Mind Intensive”, check out “Never Work Again”! It’s the next natural step after an MMI because there we learn a whole lot about The Golden Goose and Passive Income – it’s good to know what a good passive income vehicle looks like!

My notes, opinions and perspectives are below, my opinion is my own, you have your own, make sure it’s an educated one…feel free to explore that which resonates with you…it’s a buffet…all you
can eat, and do eat all you take…

Network Marketing

Randy Gage – DuplicationNation.com

By far the favorite speaker of the entire seminar!!
Randy is the number one network marketer in the world! He was both engaging and entertaining and set the room straight on what Network Marketing is and is not…

After he spoke, people were seeking me out to see what company and products I had to offer!! Did you know 9 out of 10 people like chocolate? ;)

I purchased Randy’s training system to share with my fast-growing group. As he says,

“I have a Leadership factory
disguised as a wellness company.”

Internet Marketing

David Wood – $40K per month! NewsletterMoneyMachines.com

This Dood does exactly what I do!! It was a very confirming hour as he showed the audience right on the screen how fast one can be set up to build a list and a website! He did it in minutes! See?! That’s what I’m talkin’ about! I’ve been coaching and teaching folks for years through my newsletter. I’ve gone on to assist others to develop their own “web clubs” too!

Here’s David’s 5 Main Reasons to have your own:

  • Replace work with fun
  • Be at choice
  • Help people
  • Be paid to enjoy life
  • Enjoy massive creativity
Eben Pegan – Ebook Self-Publishing

Created almost $47K within an hour right there at the event! Eban writes under the pen name of David DeAngelo and did very well with a book called “Double Your Dating”. He doesn’t speak for
large audiences in general and was there for us to show us step-by-step how to put an ebook together and offer it up at our website!! The crowd was astonished and amazed at how easy it really is!
Darn…my cover is blown…YES!! It IS really THAT easy! Ask me how if you have a book in you that wants out!

Joel Comm – JoelComm.com

The King of the Adsense Game! Joel showed us on the spot how to setup our blogs and websites with Adsense! All the tools to set it up for yourself are free!

Armand Morin – $30K per day!

I had heard about Armand Morin and having him on stage was – in and of itself – an epiphany for me! Armand showed us all how easy it is to generate passive income streams from using affiliate marketed products. He also showed us how to position ourselves right in the middle of the targeted traffic we want to offer our products to. There weren’t too many secrets here…although many
think there are…

My notes say, “If you can type, you can do it!” And here’s the TOP SECRET secret- tell no one…here’s what it takes to be successful…

  • Highlight
  • Copy
  • Paste

They don’t call me the Copy & Paste Queen for nothin’!!

Best-selling Book Publishing

Harv & Literary Agent – Bonnie Solow

Harv had his book agent dial in for an interview and went on to explain to us step-by-step how to go about getting our book to #1 on the best-seller lists. It’s a huge process…one that continues over years, for little return on your intellectual
property. In the “anyone can do it” category,
Harv’s words of wisdom,

“The term is “best-seller” not “best-writer”.

All that’s required is the right connections and a marketing strategy…the printers print, they don’t market.

I think I’ll stick to Ebooks and Self-Publishing…one can get to the best-sellers list that way too!

Venture Partnering

Berny Dohrmann – CEOSpace.net

This is a unique company promoting “collaboration vs. competition”, CEOSpace is “A World Trade Show That Never Ends”. We are undergoing a “Cooperation Revolution” with a “new Government that is of the
Global Online Village”. He made the following points about cooperation and competition:

  • Competition punishes diversity.
  • Cooperation celebrates human diversity.
  • Cooperation promotes alliances.
  • Competition is fear-based and exploitive.
  • Cooperation is nurturing and empowering.

Berny had the whole room play his “board game” for 15 minutes to demonstrate how well his simple system can get you what you want in minutes! The end results were magical…the Universe loves this game!

CELEBRATE DIVERSITY!!

High Tech Vending

Kirk Laidlaw – BaristaSupremo.com

If your office is suffering the nasty coffee blues, spruce things up with a Gourmet Coffee Machine that grinds the beans for each cup and makes fresh brewed regular coffee plus cappuccino, espresso, moccaccino, hot chocolate and even flavoured cappuccino like french vanilla, english toffee and irish cream, just to list a few…for a fraction of the big coffee shop prices.

All that right in the office break-room!

Bob Gallner – DVDNowKiosks.com – DVD Now

A video store in a box! Technology never ceases to amaze me! I should think a couple of big video rental stores might be concerned about these popping up everywhere! Convenience and ease rules…

Digital Signage

Alpha Multimedia – AlphaMultimedia.ca

3D Communications Terminal Very cool and high tech kiosks at a reasonable investment. Find the
locations and they’ll set everything up for you!! A Canadian company out of Mississauga partnered with one of my favorite companies for the installation; Bell Canada. “AM” has the largest interactive digital narrow cast network in Canada! This machine has internet access, video email, games, VoIP pay phone, digital advertising, interactive advertising,3D advertising and accepts cash & credit cards.

Real Estate & Mortgages – “Be The Bank”

Ed Mercer – WindowToThePacific.com

Ahhh yes! My favorite offering of the whole seminar!! I bought the rights to own a place in Costa Rica! I heard Ed Mercer speak at Millionaire School in the fall of 2005 and really didn’t “hear” what he had to offer…this time it was crystal
clear, I’m in!! Both a long-term investment and a passive income stream, Costa Rica has been on the top of my list to see for years! I’ll have much more on this soon, I was offered an incredible deal that is open to my friends as well! This is one happening little country!!

Commercial Real Estate Investing

Scott Scheel – CreativeCommercialRealEstate.com

“The 7 Moves to Checkmate”
This was one of my favorite presentations! Scott’s story leaves you knowing that if he can do it, I can do it! He’s developed a system that teaches
one how to invest in commercial real estate without your own money. It’s a good passive income on about 4 hours a week.

Kris Kirchner’s – AutoPilotRealEstate.com

Buy and sell houses without your own money or credit or Real Estate License! Kris’s story was amazing and the system he’s developed is brilliant! I’ll be researching it more closely for sure!

Mobile Homes & Parks

Jerry Hoganson – MobileWealth.com

Did you know that Warren Buffet owns mobile home parks?! This was one of those surprising and astonishing topics! There’s huge opportunity for passive income if you own modular homes or the whole park! Jerry has a system for showing you
how to get involved.

Mini-Storage

MiniStorageMessenger.com

SelfStorage.com

Harv covered this topic himself and showed us what parts of North America need more storage. Would you believe there’s actually people living in
mini-storage units?!! That blew my mind…and they are a passive income cash cow! He also covered some “niche” ideas – RV, Boat, Antiques & Business
Record Storage.

Patent Licensing

Jerry Oakes – SynergyUSA.com

The Guy that invented iron on t-shirt transfers and mood rings!! He knows the licensing and patent processes! He showed us how to facilitate the connections between manufacturers and distributors.
Royalties on intellectual property is definately the way to earn money!

Art Licensing 101

ArtMarketing.com

Workin’ at the car wash…..sing it with me!

John Holzinger – MarkVII.net

Turn water to gold with MarkVII’s system…

Mark VII is the North American subsidiary of WashTec AG of Germany, the world’s largest manufacturer of vehicle cleaning systems.
Over 35,000 sites with WashTec AG/Mark VII systems wash in excess of 2.4 million vehicles a day. Whether you’re an experienced carwash operator or are looking to become a new investor, we offer a complete line of car wash equipment. I really didn’t know washing cars was a big thing…very informative and perfect for more than one person
I know…


In general, once you have your money machine set up you have the option to keep it or sell it, either way you’ve created a stream of income that keeps on giving even when you walk away from the source of it!!

Any one of the opportunities above can provide passive income if their systems are followed and we make ourselves students of how it works.

We can buy it, build it or a combination of both. All the while building ourselves and consequently our net worth – which is usually fairly equal to our sense of “self worth”…go figure eh?

You know overall I’ve found that the wealthier a person is…

  • the sweeter they are!
  • They always come from the heart
  • …are always focused on how they can make
    things better for themselves and a bunch of their friends.
  • Their goal is to give money away vs. amassing it.
  • Their visions are HUGE and outrageous!!
  • They are always laughing and having fun…no matter what!
  • I want to BE “that”.

OK! Next adventure – “The Party On The Mountain”, “Woodstock For The Mind”…”Seminar Of The Century”!! History will be in the making and the mountain will be a rockin’ next weekend!!

I’ve just had enough time to unpack, organize, launder and re-pack to join my friends in Snowmass, Colorado!!

See you there then?!

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
The most certain way to succeed is always
to try one more time.”
