Freedom of a Millionaire
Where are you on a Friday afternoon? Working for yourself, in your time schedule, or at the beckon call of a boss? The freedom of working for yourself earns you the right and responsibility to plan your schedule. For Lee Arnold, October means a trip to the pumpkin patch with his wife and three small children. You are thinking, well then he just works all day Saturday to make it up. Not necessarily! Freedom comes with responsibility. Many millionaires are passionate about their work, the thrill of big deals and new breakthroughs. But just as prevalent is their desire and love for family time. It’s the joy of being able to schedule family time when they need you, instead of when your boss says you are free to go.
I ran across this article in USA Today as I wondered who else might be heading to the pumpkin patch:
Thad Starr, of Pleasant Hill, Ore., tips his hat after winning in the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off contest in Half Moon Bay, Calif., Monday, Oct. 13, 2008. Starr’s pumpkin weighed 1,528 pounds (693 kg) and beat the local contest record. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma) Click the picture to read the full article. What is your dream? Hopefully it is to plan your days and life around what you are passionate about and take the steps necessary to reach your goals. America is a land of great opportunity! That opportunity is all around you…take a look and then take back your life!
How Much is Enough?
The sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do people tell you that you work too much? That you really need to stop and enjoy yourself? They should. You are on the right path to achieving your dreams and pushing to the next level up when you appear unstoppable to those in your life. Millionaires are focused. They know what they want and they will fail a hundred times if they know in their heart it’s achievable. It’s important to have others around you that believe in you and where you are headed. We’d like to believe we can do things on our own and that is partially true. It’s your above and beyond efforts that get you to the next level. Having people standing behind you, supporting those long hours, adds to your success.
Mastermind groups can add to family support or replace it if you are single. These groups are created from like-minded professionals that meet periodically to support, encourage, challenge, and brainstorm business ideas and/or plans. Find people with expertise and backgrounds different than your own, yet headed in the same direction, it will serve you best. The collective failures and successes will shorten your path to the next level. It’s the number of people in the group as much as it is what they bring to the table. Choose carefully.
The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
- Donald Kendall
Is this group really important? Absolutely! How much is enough? When you are intently focused on your dream, everything in your world will be filtered through the dream. You will love the life you are living, the long hours, the many collaborative meetings, and WORK will be enjoyable. Millionaires don’t sit around spending their money, they only sit around when they are deep in thought. Reaching where only 3% of the U.S. achieves financially is a small percentage because so few really understand the work and effort it takes to achieve and sustain their millions.
Where do you meet millionaires to grasp the focus and intensity I speak about? Come to Las Vegas this month! October 23, 24, and 25 several millionaires will be gathering to share not only how they achieved their wealth, but will encourage you to challenge them at the 3% level. Is your focus is real estate investment including short sales, hard money, and foreclosures, or loan modifications, credit repair, or social media advantages? Then you must be there! Not only will you learn from these millionaires, it’s an opportunity to network with others headed in the same direction, that may be exactly what you are looking for to join your Mastermind group!

Millionaires are Well-Read
Did I say Millionaires are Well-Educated? No, not exactly. A college degree isn’t what makes someone successful or wealthy. Putting whatever you learn into action is what leads you down the path of failure and success. Why failure? Because if you are not failing, you are not putting enough ideas into action. When I was in Jr. High I took skiing lessons. I didn’t like to fall any more than “I felt” necessary. My instructor kept pushing me beyond my comfortable level and I pushed back. He finally said, “If you aren’t falling continually while I instruct you, you aren’t applying what I am teaching.” Meaning, as we fail we learn and grow. It may be learning how things don’t work, but we now have one more way that doesn’t work and that can only lead to what does work.
Whoever ceases to be a student has never been a student. George Iles
Are you failing at something now? GREAT! Now get up and move on to the next thing. However, if you are failing because you are neglecting to put anything into action and just hoping some fairy godmother will wave a wand and make it all better, give it up. It may not be the image of a fairy godmother in your head, but you are stalling and lacking action, aren’t you? Maybe whatever you set out to accomplish is not what you are passionate about. Accept that, set it aside and move on to a new endeavor.
Wear the old coat and buy the new book. – Austin Phelps
Where do you start? Pick up a book! If you are not currently reading on a daily or even weekly basis, start today. And I don’t mean the newspaper or your Yahoo! or MSN page. I mean a book stimulating your growth in yourself, your career, hobby, or a future entrepreneurial adventure. Millionaires don’t have to go to college to implement million dollar ideas. They have a natural capacity to learn and apply the knowledge of people who have already been through trial and error processes. Books are written testimonies that you can read and put into action. Don’t let me lose you here if you aren’t an avid reader. You are reading this blog and cruising around the internet, right? Pick up a book on CD and it still counts for being well-read!
It’s never a good time to stop the learning process. Not a reader, or one to listen to a CD? Well put yourself into action by attending Lee Arnold’s Extravaganza ’09 and grow in your knowledge and understanding of Short Sales, Foreclosures, Loan Modification, Social Media, and more. Your list of excuses has run out. Take action and grow and you will be well on your way to being a well-read Millionaire!

Are you a Survivor?
Recently someone asked me where they could find more information on “who” Lee Arnold is if they searched the internet. I shared some insights I had gained from searches and pulled them together with first hand experience from working with him. A good way to understand “who” a person is, is to listen to them. Lee often shares his personal opinions, beliefs, and even a story here and there about his family. You will see much of “who” the man is by why what he shares. Here’s an example showing how Lee Arnold believes in you, economic resilience, and America:
Q: Do you think America has it in it to survive this economic pitfall?
A: Good question. If you read the articles circulating on the internet, you may wonder if we do have what it takes to survive the current economic downturn. I believe that we do. Last December I showed you the historic bounce back that every market experiences after suffering a severe downturn. That’s because Americans, as a whole, have the ability to adjust, adapt, dig their heels in, and work hard during hard times. Many of the greatest men and women in history have exhibited this resolve.
To do this, we must first own the loss, learn from it, and then move on. In a recent NPR story, the reporter interviewed various people who had lost their job during this recessionary period. What she was most struck by was their ability to mourn the loss, and then pick themselves up by the bootstraps and move on. In one story in particular, an unemployed investment banker paraded near the offices of major employers in Manhattan for two weeks wearing a sandwich board that read, “Experienced MIT Grad for Hire.” His moxie got him numerous job offers and well-wishes from passers-by.
Although it’s an odd recipe for success, it shows resolve, charisma, and sense of self that is boiler plate American. So yes, I do believe that we’ll weather this storm. More importantly, do you?
Are you weathering the storm or are you merely “experiencing” what the world throws at you? If it’s time you stepped up and took some action towards achieving the goals you set for 2009, despite what naysayers are doing, JOIN US IN LAS VEGAS and hear more from Lee Arnold himself!

Internal Influence
“Refuse to let your present results influence your thinking. Keep reminding yourself that you have a power within you that is superior to any condition or circumstance you may encounter enroute to your goal.” - Bob Proctor
Where do your thoughts take you? Our thoughts do become our actions, whether immediate or over time. If your thoughts are like most people, they are holding you back. It is common for our self talk to fall into the pit of despair with the many burdens we carry, while on the outside smiling and saying life is good. Stop! As Bob Proctor says, “Keep reminding yourself that you have a power within you that is superior to any condition or circumstance you may encounter. . .”. YOU are the only person that can reach your goals. Choose to be unlike anyone else.
Focus on where you are going. Allow your mind to dwell on problem-solving before negative self-talk. Read books related to your goal and surround yourself with positive people who will remind you of where you are headed, not your present reality. It’s up to YOU and YOU alone have the power to achieve your dream. Believe in yourself and turn your thoughts forward to where you want to be tomorrow, next month, and next year.
Need to meet people that know how to think and act their way to their goals? Join us in Las Vegas October 23, 24, and 25 as Lee Arnold presents his Extravaganza ’09, along with five other speakers on real estate, social media, and credit topics. These people are living out their positive self-talk and want to share with YOU at no cost. It’s an event to invest in you.

Unlock the Gate to Abundance
“Wealthy people tend to be orderly, while those who struggle have lots of messes. Each mess is a lock on the gate that keeps abundance out.”
- Raymond Aaron, From Double Your Income Doing What You Love
What’s going on in your life today? Granted, the economy as a whole may have its issues, but what about you, specifically? Hopefully you are here reading this because you have a plan and a goal. You are searching, investigating, and then researching opportunities that will gain you access to extraordinary opportunities to achieve your goal.
Orderly can be an intimidating word if you are a rainmaker or a creative thinker. It’s not. Without reading Mr. Aaron’s book, I can share from my life experience that orderly simply means wealthy people have goals, steps to achieve those goals, and the follow through. Often their perceived step will lead them in another direction, but it does not deter them from their goal or continuing to move forward.
Does your life feel like a mess and a struggle today? If you have tools (books, CD’s, DVD’s) at your disposal, but can’t seem to figure out where to start and how to create a plan and get moving again, let us help you! Oct 23, 24, and 25 at Lee Arnold’s Extravaganza ’09 you will be introduced to several speakers discussing successful plans in real estate, credit, and social media. Take this opportunity to sign up, at no cost to you for their knowledge, and take a step out of the mess and struggle and step back into orderly – the place where wealthy people succeed and so will you!
REGISTER TODAY!
Make a list of your messes and begin to create order once again. Concentrate on those you have the ability to influence and change and act upon them – one step at a time. Cross them off your list as you bring them back to order and feel the satisfaction of stepping closer to the gate. It won’t be long before your gate to abundance is unlocked and you regain your vision of financial success!

A Lesson From Pet Airways
There is something about living in the United States that always makes the worst of times seem like the best of times. For those of you reading this, who are particularly struggling right now, you may be shaking your head and resisting the urge to mark this as spam. Before you do that, though, let me say it this way. In America, even when the economy is only beginning to sputter to a start, there is still opportunity. Even when the Dow wobbles to and fro, there is money in the market. And even when the headlines shout hundreds of “NOs”, there are thousands of “Yeses” all over the place.
Here’s an example: I’m working on my computer this evening and see this crazy news story. An airline that caters only to pets just opened shop. The main cabin of the aircraft is filled with carriers for dogs and cats. Flight attendants check on the animals regularly and perhaps even offer them an in-flight meal service!!! I know, crazy right? Well, while other airlines are struggling to survive, “Pet Airways” is booked solid for the next two months.
Just imagine who came up with this brainchild and then wonder to yourself, like I did to myself, “Why in the world did I not think of it!!!”
For $250 a pop ($100 more than what it costs to fly them in the cargo hold), people are bidding their pets farewell to fly in comfort on an animals-only airline. Just when I think I’ve read everything!
The reason I bring up this story is because although the economy is off to a shaky re-start, there are people who are launching the wackiest businesses and they are actually getting customers!!! So, even though you may be feeling this economy a little bit more than the next guy or gal, just remember that people are willing to pay their money if you’re willing to put a little creativity into your product or services.
This is America, and one of the things that I love about it is its everlasting, always present possibility!
Always look for and enjoy the possibilities!
To Your Success,
Lee Arnold,
President of I’m the Solution
Short Sales & Loan Mods in the News
If you’re wondering whether or not you should get in on the short sale and loan modification action, you need look no further then to what the government is strongly suggesting. With the advent of the “Making Home Affordable” enactment, the government is clearly outlining ways that banks and homeowners can stay far away from the grips of foreclosure.
The Short Sale Incentive
Under the new short sale incentive, lenders can receive a $1,000 payment from the U.S. Treasury for allowing the owner to sell the house for less than the amount owed on the mortgage and for accepting the proceeds as full repayment.
Lenders can also receive $1,000 for accepting a deed-in-lieu transaction, in which the deed is simply transferred to the lender instead of going through a costly foreclosure.
Homeowners who agree to short sales or deed-in-lieu deals can receive up to $1,500 in closing costs. To help stop second mortgages from blocking the deal, the Treasury will pay second lien holders up to $1,000 to relinquish their claims in such transactions.
The Loan Mod Incentive
Under Making Home Affordable’s new second-lien program, borrowers whose first mortgages are modified will automatically have payments reduced on their second mortgages as well, provided the first and second-mortgage lender participates in the program.
Twelve mortgage servicers currently do. Among them are large banks including, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Countrywide, Citibank, Chase and others.
Eligible homeowners looking to modify their first mortgage must be an owner-occupant of the home; have an unpaid principal balance that is no more than $729,750; have a loan that was originated on or before January 1, 2009; have a mortgage payment (including taxes, insurance, and home owners association dues) that is more than 31 percent of their gross monthly income; and have a mortgage payment that is not affordable, perhaps because of a significant change in income or expenses.
Under the new second mortgage program, in addition to lowering the payment, lenders can also opt to erase a borrower’s second mortgage in exchange for a lump-sum payment from the government.
Although banks haven’t been perfectly aligned with the government’s suggestions, they are becoming more so with the passing months. It’s now time to capitalize on these changes.
To Your Success,
Lee Arnold,
President of I’m the Solution
