Only When The Student Is Ready Can The Teacher Appear (Part 1 of 3)

Only When The Student Is Ready Can The Teacher Appear
by Ron LeGrand

It's been almost 30 years since I got in real estate, and during that time, all my relatives could have joined me. I have two brothers, two sisters, one step-son, one step-daughter, and two daughters, nine grandchildren of which five are over 18, and now four great-grandchildren.

By my count, that's nine who could be making a lot of money by now, all of which have their own families. My older brother, Dave, and my step-son, Mike, are the only two who've stepped up until the last few years. My sister, Barbara, has become active since she lost her job of 23 years.

All had the same opportunity. The most qualified man on the planet as a blood relative. All any of them had to do is say so and they could attend my training for no charge. None are doing more than getting by, swapping hours for dollars making ends meet (except Dave and Mike and Barb).

So why haven't they?

Well, that's a good question. One I'll leave for Dr. Phil.

Okay, I'll admit I'm not a warm and fuzzy guy, especially when you want something for nothing, but when it comes to helping people who really want help, I have never turned my back and never will. Always eager to help people help themselves, never willing to do it for them or listen to whiney reasons why they can't.

Why am I telling you this?

Because it's a good lesson in life of how much opportunity is all around us and how few people see it or use it and how weak and pathetic our population has become. For the last 60 years, the US has been on easy street. Since this encompasses most of the population, most don't know what real struggle is and how much sacrifice our predecessors made so we don't have to wear guns to work.

Even with a recession and millions out of work and a home, this country ain't even close to where it was during the great depression.

No one who wants to eat will starve. Anyone who wants to work can find a job or make one. I wonder what would happen if Obama passed a new law:

Anyone Who Has Not Secured Or Created A Personal Income Large Enough To Get Off Welfare And Support Their Family Within 90 Days From Today Will Be Immediately Deported To Iraq With No Chance Of Reentry

I bet we'd see a lot of new entrepreneurial activity in a hurry. People would find ways to create revenue even if it means sacrificing the Plasma TV and I-Pod.

EBay would explode with growth. There would be a host of new products and services available from people who actually did work. The "You Owe It To Me" attitude would be gone and people would actually begin to appreciate what they have and can accomplish when pressure is applied.

Of course, God help Iraq when they get all our dead beats.

Hey, maybe we can get Obama to add a small provision that any man we ship off who can't support children they brought into the world must immediately be placed in the Iraq military and put on the front lines with nothing but a bayonet.  Perhaps that will thin the herd.

I just attended a 4-day Glazer/Kennedy Super Conference about marketing. There were 900 people in the room from all walks of life, income levels and several countries. There were broke people, rich people and many on their way.

Endless stories of rags to riches. The room was alive with hope and prosperity and businesses that had their best ever year in 2008 when many businesses died.

They all had one thing in common:

GUTS!

The inner strength to keep plugging until they found the way and the determination to see it through despite of all the dream stealers on their trail.

I'm so glad I took Jennifer and Liz from our staff. I wish I'd taken them all and all my kids and grandkids. Maybe next time I will.

You can always find a place like this you should attend to keep your batteries recharged and your head in the game.  That's the big reason we may conduct our own super conference in January 2010. Still undecided since it's so much work and risk with such a small return. We'll let you know, but if we do it'll be in Vegas so keep that month open.

I'd strongly suggest you get to my Marketing To The Masses event on November 12th - 15th in Orlando, FL. It'll change your life, and I've got an amazing line up of experts and myself who'll be telling you secrets I've learned you shouldn't know. This event is about marketing and affects everything you do, every business you run and every income stream you create for the rest of your life. It's probably the most important business seminar of your life and that's not hype. I teach it. I know what happens to those who attend. To see a video I shot while there with an interview of both Dan Kennedy and Bill Glazer, go to http://www.MarketToTheMasses.com/Videos and go to http://www.MarketToTheMasses.com/MEZ090721 to get the skinny and details on the event or call (800) 567-6128.

Sorry about that plug. I couldn't help myself. The pen started writing and I couldn't stop it. Yes, I still use a pen.  They haven't gone extinct.

With her permission, I'll be attaching a letter from my granddaughter, Brandy, who works at Global Publishing in customer service on next week's ezine. I'll also attached my response the following week. Thought you'd get a kick out of both and some of you will easily relate.

Only When The Student Is Ready Can The Teacher Appear.

Stay tuned next week to see Brandy's letter!

Hello,

Will there be a Lead Selling System "follow-up" conference at some point? I'd love to go.

Thanks,

- Will

I have been a student of Ron LeGrand's since I retired in 2004. I have some rental property now, and just starting internet marketing on other products.

We're new and future students of Ron.
We met him during the FIC seminar in Vancouver.
His vibe? Very down-to-earth and practical expert.

What? a super conference in January 2010 in Vegas? can't wait, we'll be in Vegas as well for the FIC seminar, we'll keep that month open.

I proclaim more blessings to you Ron
for helping and touching so many lives!

Take care and God bless!
