The Your Life. Your Terms. Event

Governments play their role too. Constantly introducing what just seems like more red tape and cash grab measures.

Investing in real estate is definitely a changing landscape, and like other industries, the pace of change is only accelerating.

What could have been a great investment or strategy recently could be outdated, outrageous or even illegal today.

On the flip side, years ago the Ontario government introduced new laws that are opening up investment options in areas that were avoided before.

In this presentation we’re going to outline some of these changes and their impact on different investing strategies.

Also, what opportunities have come forward and how to best take advantage of them.

Rock Star Economic Update: Slowing Economies, Stock Market Volatility, Global Instability, and Currency Manipulation – Why Any of This Matters To Us, Our Investments or Bottom Line, and How To Avoid The Upcoming Landmines.

With Tom Karadza.

The Rock Star Economic Updates have become a staple of these events for many long time attendees.

"I absolutely LOVE the economic update! Tom has a talent for condensing the complex into something understandable!" –Leslie Trotter, Ancaster

"I gained the most benefit from the inner circle interviews and the economic update. That economic update was a great high level view of things and sort of fleshed out concepts that I had wondered about." –Stuart Harrison, Burlington

"The economic updates are our favourite part. I like the way you put it into layman's terms and make it easy to understand with visual aids and humour. I certainly appreciate the time and effort that has to go into the presentations." –Shawn Campbell, Orono

It isn’t that we are creating new information, but instead we’re going behind the scenes to uncover the things mainstream media won’t tell us.

This is to gain an understanding of the reasons behind our current economic state so we are better prepared for what’s upcoming.

We’ve used hard to find information from trusted sources to successfully help our investing decisions since the economic upheaval of 2008.

Even if you review the updates over the last 12 months, you would know that things like interest rate cuts, extra volatile markets, slowing economies, and more bailouts aren’t a surprise.

In fact, if you were at past events you would have been expecting them and planned accordingly.

You don’t have to be an economic scholar to understand global finance and adjust accordingly to protect your assets and profits, but you do need to invest much time searching deep for information that paints an accurate picture of the current global state.

Admittedly, it’s not an easy task when juggling so much.

This presentation is a curated collection of the most up to date and impactful information on international finance.

But most importantly, it is an explanation of how these worldwide events are impacting us, not just in Canada, but locally.

We don’t keep it a secret that no matter what we do, we prefer to be at an advantage.

It’s this type of knowledge that gives us an advantage over other investors, an information advantage.

This is exactly why we decided to put forth the effort to gain an in-depth understanding of the interconnectedness of global events.

The mortgage decisions we’ve made alone with this information, against the advice of multiple high ranking professionals in the industry, have made us at minimum tens of thousands of dollars, likely more.

In the past, financial events were rare but the speed is picking up. In the last few months alone we have had falling oil prices, been on the brink of a Greek default, the biggest single day declines in the history of some stock markets followed immediately by large gains, interest rate cuts, ballooning debt, and multiple economies grinding to a halt.

With so much going on, and the speed at which it happens, it’s necessary to know the impact on you.

Flipping Hundreds of Properties Through A Generational Real Estate Collapse: A Roadmap to Surviving the U.S Real Estate Downturn & Using Your Investing To Help Create Change

With Jim Sheils

We first met Jim and his business partner Brian when we were both invited to speak on a panel at a investor event in Calgary 7 or 8 years ago.

Unfortunately, even after the urging of multiple friends, plans to visit and learn from one another never materialized.

Then, earlier this year, we were able to reconnect at a conference in Napa Valley.

Jim and his partner Brian have been buying, renovating, and selling properties in the Jacksonville, Florida area for years, after starting in California.

They’re two of the extremely few people who have had such a lengthy track record of success and who have been recommended to us by multiple respected people in the industry.

Here’s what is more insightful: their business survived the biggest real estate crash in American history, and it wasn’t by accident.

By following proven principles and avoiding a lot of ‘expert’ advice their business continued to flourish.

This presentation will really be three things in one:

• • A guide to understanding Florida real estate, the processes, pitfalls, and profits.
• • An outline of how to survive and flourish through a difficult real estate market.
• • A step by step system on how to ensure that some of the most important things to you, beyond real estate, are strong enough to provide the support you need to succeed.

For many entrepreneurs, success in one area often leads to initiative in another.

Like so many Rock Star members living life on their terms that’s what they’ve set out to do as well. Part of that mission is their new initiative that is applicable to everyone but especially for investors and entrepreneurs.

Their philosophy has gotten national media attention in the U.S. and has been raved about by countless people in our inner circle. In fact, we’ve adopted it ourselves with great results.

We constantly have people requesting to speak at Rock Star events. Typically, they are professional speakers looking to get in front of a crowd.

Our goal has always been to invite people who don’t have a speaking career but are first hand creators in their field, the people who have their boots on the ground getting things done and are themselves, innovating.

That’s what a Your Life. Your Terms. event is about. “Real Investors. Real Information. Real Results.”

Jim is a fit with all three, and will share a series of experiences that can apply to many areas to increase your wealth financially, and more importantly, beyond.

Coaches Corner - On The Streets Strategy Updates and Market Trends

Everything you read about the real estate market in the media is based off of some figures on a piece of paper.

A few years ago, it was obvious how little value that brought when headlines of “Canadian Real Estate Prices Plummet” were plastered all over a national newspaper, when in fact, that was far from true.

The national average price may have moved, but locally, it was a market with very tight supply and demand forces.

The reality we saw on the streets would come out but only 6 months later, in hindsight when the numbers were put in front on pieces of paper and placed in a newsroom somewhere.

The unfortunate reality is that those reports look to the past. They tell us what just happened, but with that information it is already too late for us.

Educated investors want to know what is happening on the streets now, where opportunity and potential profit lie in wait.

Whether you are thinking about investing for the first time or looking to add to an already expansive portfolio, one of the keys to success is to understand your local market

The Coaches Corner is new addition to these events and it has quickly gotten great reviews.

There’s no better way to truly understand the real estate market than to get a completely up to date picture. Or, to see where and what other investors are buying along with their profit numbers.

With a whole team working hand in hand with investors, few people can give you as much insight into such a wide range of areas, of specific strategies being implemented.

Movers, Shakers, and Action Takers: The Investor Panel

Have you been in a “you don’t know what you don’t know” situation?

Meaning, you didn’t know what you were missing out on.

Perhaps someone shared a new piece of technology you didn’t know existed, a piece of software or information.

Those are moments that sometimes prove to be incredibly valuable, and it’s exactly what’s happened for Rock Star members when listening to other investors share their own personal tactics.

As we spoke about earlier, a huge differentiator of these events is that they are filled with action takers.

People who aren’t trying to manifest results by only thinking about them but instead they are putting boots to the ground and getting things done.

Although there is much to learn from everyone in the room, a few investors will be part of a panel to discuss:

• • How they’ve structured their investments to live life on their terms.
• • The mistakes they made so you don’t have to.
• • Which strategies worked for them and why.
• • How they overcame roadblocks.
• • What they would keep doing as often as they could and what they would never do again.

If you’re a believer in learning from first hand, local experience this is for you.

A ‘One Stop Shop’ for Investors, Entrepreneurs, and People Living Life on Their Terms

When we started investing and building our businesses, information wasn’t as easily accessible as it is today. We travelled from one place to another trying to piece together everything we needed.

It was time consuming and often left gaps or led to more questions.

This is why one of our goals is and has been to try and make these events a one-stop shop to get all the pieces of the puzzle you’re building.

This is why we keep adding different aspects to bring this closer to reality.

There will be special break out areas covering legal, accounting, management, commercial properties, residential properties, financing, insurance, RRSP options, private mortgage, etc.

If you have any questions, in any area, this is the place you can get the answers you need.

Add to that the vast knowledge and experience of the attendees and it really is a complete power team all in one place at the same time!

“You Are the Average of the Five People You Spend the Most Time With.” – Jim Rohn

Were you ever told as a kid something along the lines of , “You are who your friends are”?

At that age there’s a good chance you shrugged it off and felt you knew better.

Looking back, the importance of that guidance has been magnified.

Your peer group can have an immense impact on your success, but at the same time it can hold you back or drag you down.

Your time is the most precious asset you have. It only makes sense to spend it with people who lift you up, support your initiatives, help you when needed, and energize you to accomplish whatever it is you choose.

How often do you feel that the people you speak to about your business, investments, or other challenges you’ve undertaken just don't get it?

Do you go along with conversations sometimes instead of having the one you really want?

Do you wish there were more people that you could talk to about the asset base you are building for yourself?

These events have become a sort of advisory panel for people taking control of their finances and implementing choices into their lives.

The event is a place to surround yourself with people who understand your challenges and are excited about your successes. They value your experiences and in return, will share theirs because they’re out to live life on their terms as well.

You don’t even have to leave things up to chance! Our team can facilitate any introductions you are hoping for:

• • Find other investors investing in your local area to strategize with; there is power in numbers
• • Learn the strategies that have proven successful for others
• • Enhance your support network, giving you more places to turn when questions arise
• • Gather valuable contacts that others use to fill, manage and repair their properties or anything else
• • Create profitable partnerships for future investments
