The polished stage presence of Andrew Cass has become one of the many marks of quality at WMI’s m2 Wealth Conference. It’s like the confidence you feel touring a new city with a veteran local leading the way. Somehow you just know that when Andrew’s at the microphone he won’t let you miss any “must see” stops along the way. As you saw in our “Day 1 Recap” our Members and Consultants have their work cut out for them here in beautiful Boca Raton. Sure, there are opportunities to laugh and have some fun in luxurious surroundings, but the m2 is first and foremost an intense learning experience and days are packed with information and interaction. With last night’s Caribbean storm front, we could have left our sunblock and hip beachwear at home, but everyone seemed too busy to notice. Thanks to our expert presenters, there was as much thunder and lightning inside the conference hall today as there was in the Florida sky!
Scott LeTourneau launched the morning with his expert coverage on the foundations of a thriving, profitable business. WMI is committed to bringing you the best of the best and Scott consistently delivers the goods on how to set yourself up for success from day one. He gave us priceless insights on how to see through popular misconceptions on taxes, incorporation and credit that get business owners into trouble and put profits at risk. Why is the business failure rate so high? Scott explained that the 5% who succeed know the right questions to ask and where to go for the right startup advice. Through the business service companies he founded (Nevada Corporate Planners in 1997 and Fast Business Credit in 2003), Scott teaches business owners how the wealthy develop the success mindset they need to create and keep massive profits.
On Day 1, Consultants are exposed to inside information on the system behind the system that keeps uninformed millions trapped in a cycle of debt and lack (if you still haven’t seen WMI’s mind-blowing DVD documentary The Conspiracy Against Your Money, you need to get the story here). For many attendees, these insights shatter their entire belief system about money. For others it’s simply a confirmation of suspicions they’ve had all along about the global economy. As WMI Co-Founder Kip Herriage has proven, the greatest transfer of wealth in history is already underway. On Day 2 we start exploring strategies to make sure we’re on the receiving end of that transfer. One powerful example was James Fierro’s presentation on a new technology that is revolutionizing the entire fire safety industry. As an internationally respected business strategist for major corporations, Mr. Fierro is an innovator in harnessing human creativity in a way that leads to exponential wealth creation. His unprecedented approach to saving lives and property with an amazingly simple product is one of many Wealth Creation Opportunities that are available to members of the worldwide WMI community.
Continuing to answer the challenges of Day 1 with practical solutions, Walter Young of Generational Wealth Partners took the stage to teach us how to think like bankers. Recovery experts say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In a clear and enlightening style, Walter showed us how we lose cash flow opportunities every day by holding on to failed financial strategies. Step by step, he demonstrated how this “conventional wisdom” can have five-, six- or even seven-figure consequences in the average person’s financial lifetime. Most of us have been living on the wrong side of the risk/reward equation without even being aware of it. He explained that new financial threats call for new ways of thinking and he presented some fresh perspectives on how we can learn to think like owners and take back profits we’ve been giving away to the banks. We live in a much riskier world, but there are things we can do today to make it safer for ourselves and the people we care about.
Just before a fabulous lunch break, we heard from nutrition expert Deanna Latson. She likes to say “get healthy first, then get wealthy” because she knows from dramatic personal experience how daily food choices can impact our ability to create and enjoy true wealth. Deanna is a seasoned professional communicator with years of advanced training in health and nutrition. Alternately entertaining us with humor and disarming us with honesty, she opened our eyes to the ways that commercially processed food is slowly poisoning us and robbing us of vitality. You could feel the reaction in the room when she showed us the shocking connection between food choices and the world’s top life-threatening illnesses. We joked with each other about being a little more self-conscious at the buffet line afterwards, but Deanna helped us to see how small changes in our eating habits can lead to dramatic positive results in every area of our lives.
Genuine humility is one of many reasons why Kip Herriage and Karl Bessey have been able to lead WMI to such rapid and massive growth. Almost to a fault, they’re both extremely careful to stay out of the spotlight when they can give one of their leaders a chance to shine. So, when Andrew passed the microphone to Kip as we came back from lunch, we knew that we were about to hear something important. Kip explained that input from our worldwide community is critical to WMI’s relentless pursuit of excellence as we manage international growth and global system improvements together. In this same spirit of continuous improvement, Kip wanted to personally welcome our newest Alliance Partner, Norm Talbott of NJM & Associates. Norm introduced the m2 audience to a revolutionary, low-risk, high-return approach to real estate investing in a down market. He began building his case by demonstrating that the government approach to the foreclosure crisis is not working. His company has created a carefully researched and field-tested model for moving distressed properties out of the hands of banks into a win-win arrangement for everyone in the value chain. Only Wealth Masters provides access to these kinds of solutions.
One WMI Alliance seems to build on another and it’s the combined power of all of these resources that makes WMI the World’s Premier Wealth Creation Community. As Norm Talbott finished his presentation on how to make brick-and-mortar profits in a distressed market, Mike Kane stepped up to introduce the WMI Loan Modification Program. Mike gave us an industry-insider’s view of the current foreclosure situation as another big wave of mortgage defaults prepares to hit an already battered lending market. He explained that laws, guidelines and homeowner assistance programs are changing rapidly and that doing nothing is a costly mistake. The best thing to do, according to Mike, is to ask for help, but not from bankers who have no incentive to complete the process. This exclusive, proven loan modification process not only helps WMI Members and Consultants reduce their own house payments, but also allows them to earn marketing fees by sharing the solution with others at risk of losing their homes to the foreclosure crisis.
Joining The Wealth Masters lineup of health experts with Wendie Pett and Deanna Latson, Gwen Olsen grabbed our attention today with shocking revelations about the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry. Gwen’s philosophy is that we can’t be at our best mentally, physically or spiritually when we’re under the control of dangerous toxins. Expanding on secrets revealed in her book, Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher, Gwen presented a convincing argument that our current system is less about curing illness and more about maximizing profits by keeping as many people as possible dependent on expensive (and often unnecessary) medications. When companies can’t sell enough pills for their intended use, Gwen described the sinister practice of prescribing “off label” uses of the drugs for patients who may be unaware of their dangerous health risks. Although her message is serious and urgent, she managed to frame it in a positive and heartwarming call to action that challenged us all to make more informed choices and reclaim our personal power over our health and well-being.
Picking up on Gwen’s final note of courage and responsibility, Wayne Allyn Root ended the day with an inspiring reminder that together, we represent our own hope for the future. His newest book, The Conscience of a Libertarian is a national bestseller. As the 2008 Libertarian vice presidential nominee, front runner for the national party chair and a possible presidential candidate in 2012, Wayne is an outspoken advocate for small business as world’s best engine for economic recovery. This self-made millionaire, businessman and media personality believes so strongly in the Wealth Masters vision that he’s joined forces with us as our Senior Economic Advisor. His power and authenticity as a speaker is unmatched by anyone on the global media scene today and we were thrilled to hear him share his personal secrets for success. Wayne believes that if we’ll look for it, there’s always a way to focus on the “full half of the glass” no matter what the government or the economy might throw our way. He encouraged us all to find the unique, creative edge we bring to the world and promised that if we’ll pursue it relentlessly, as he did, with passion and courage we can and will overcome any obstacle.
From that high point, we all rushed out to the breakout sessions where WMI Alliance Partners were standing by to answer questions and work one-on-one with Members and Consultants on their personal Wealth Creation Strategies. We’re surrounded by limitless potential and the greatest collection of like minds we could ever hope to meet. It’s time to reflect on everything we heard and saw today and get ready for Day 3. Congratulations again on your life-changing choice to join the World’s Premiere Wealth Creation Community! All the resources you need to create the life of your dreams are here for the taking. All you have to add is ACTION!
