    REAL ESTATE INVESTOR: Mitch, together with his wife, Tommi, and his daughter, Shannon purchased their fair share of local houses.

    EDUCATOR:

    Mitch offers Online Education, Group Coaching, and one-on-one Mentorships as it relates to all the aspects of Owner Financing and owner financed properties.

    Mitch forged the creation of a mass texting software, LiveComm.com to help solve problems that arise when you get numerous calls from bandit signs and other advertising efforts to sell your houses.

    The main reason Mitch wanted this system was to reduce the number of calls from potential buyers (that asked the same questions over and over) to a group of the most qualified buyers, saving time for the sales team. This solves that and much more to streamline your selling process.

    What you’ll learn about in this episode:

    How being in order can give you more confidence
    How becoming organized can save you time and money
    The ways being more organized can create more leisure time and peace of mind
    How being more organized can actually help you become more spontaneous
    The importance of having a good outward appearance
    Why being unorganized can cause you to be late all the time
    Ways you can get yourself organized
    Consequences you could face if you don’t have your books and financials in order

He worked in sales for over 23 years and currently works with small businesses with sales issues and low sales. He uses his vast knowledge acquired over two decades to create a proven and tested sales process that can be implemented and adjusted for almost any product or service. When sales are done right, it is a pleasing process!

            The most prominent mistakes people make by overlooking the importance of having a sales process
            Why businesses must — because of how the market is constantly evolving — not only have a sales process, but constantly evolve their processes to meet the changing needs of the market
            What having a sales process accomplishes for businesses and entrepreneurs
            The differences between marketing and having a sales process and why businesses can thrive without marketing but will continue to struggle without a sales process

            What it really means for businesses to have a sales process they can work with like a checklist where they simply mark things off and move on to the next point
            Why you shouldn’t waste your time trying to sell to the one who isn’t making the decisions and writing the checks
            How working on your sales process is the fastest way a business can boost its bottom line
            The reason it’s so important to get help through mentors or coaches to help you create a winning sales process for your organization

            Jack Bosch is a fairly recent immigrant from Germany. He came over to the US from Germany in 1997 literally with two suitcases and a bunch of student debt, and Prior to the year 2000, Jack had never been involved in Real Estate and did not know anything about that subject.

            He started in Real Estate investment in 2000. Over the course of three years, Jack developed and perfected an investing system that allowed him to do 3,203 deals, making millions of dollars in the process.

            He has done deals all over the U.S. without even looking at most of these properties. His students are now doing deals in the US while living all over the world. Jack started sharing this unique system with the public in 2008.

            What you’ll learn about in this episode:

            The importance of taking funds earned from your one-time cash strategies (ex. flipping properties) and your cash flow strategies (ex. owner financing properties or lease options) and using them to invest in a forever cash model (ex. owning an apartment complex or office building)
            How flipping land allows you to easily double, triple, or even quadruple your investment without spending a lot of money, time, or energy in the process
            The benefits of flipping land and why Jack Bosch believes it’s much better than flipping houses
            Different ways to make profits from flipping land
            Why low competition in the land flipping marketplace means greater opportunities for those who take the initiative
            Why offering affordable terms for owner financing allows you to launch your business into higher profits
            The beauty and thrill of investing with other people’s money (OPM) and why you’re going to love it too
            Why you can charge so much more with seller financing than when selling properties outright
            Why success doesn’t always happen overnight and why that’s OK
            Trying several different types of businesses before you find that one that works best for you
            Why it’s hard to go broke with profit and how you can start profiting in your business ventures
            How easily portable this business model is, not just in the United States but other countries as well
            Why apartments are an ideal investment for creating generational income
            The importance of building lifelong and generational cash flow

            What you’ll learn about in this episode:

            Why buying and flipping houses alone isn’t enough to generate success in real estate investments. You must develop a few essential business skills along the way
            Why visionaries are awesome, but sometimes it takes real management skills to get the job done
            The importance of identifying a need in the market and being able to meet that need at the same time
            How when leaders or visionaries develop the necessary skills to become great managers, magic happens
            Why some people simply need to learn a new skill set to take their moderately successful real estate businesses to new levels of success
            Why success all comes back to creating the plan and setting goals to achieve that vision in the end
            Why developing a process to use over and over again to achieve success is the real secret to changing your reality in real estate investing and any other business venture
            The reasons it’s important to avoid thinking of only what needs to be done today and focus instead on what the end goal is and how you’re going to accomplish that goal
            Why passion is necessary for success in any business venture
            The importance of creating a game plan everyone can get on board with and then making sure that everyone is on the same page and doing their part
            Reasons you must document, document, document (and then follow the document)
            How you can’t make it big in real estate without surrounding yourself with the right people – a village of people on your team – each one responsible for their own little corner
            Why organization is the real secret to success
