And now for my letter:

From The Desk Of:
Ron LeGrand

I will address your letter in writing simply because you may want to keep it for future reference to read on bad days, and there will be plenty.

You say you're not smart.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Being smart has nothing to do with scholastic achievement.  It's about possessing the ability to think and reason and make decisions that benefit others first before yourself.  Smart has nothing to do with money, but it is very closely related to the ability to earn it.

You are smart, but do need work on improving your reasoning and decision making ability. Fortunately, time and practice can fix that at no monetary cost to you.

You say you want me to teach you and you're ready to learn.  That's good news to me because until you are, there's nothing I can do to make you.  Only when the student is ready can the teacher appear.

However, talk is cheap. A lot of people say they are ready but their actions don't confirm it. Most cave when it comes time to do things differently and learn new actions that make them uncomfortable.

You have two choices in life.  You can either think or labor for those who think.  It sounds like you'd rather be a thinker, but it will require some evidence that's true.

You are correct in assuming that if the customers you talk with can make money, you can too. But hope and envy is not a strategy. Money comes from action properly applied.

Obviously, I'd like for you to be in a position of not struggling to pay your bills and getting assistance from us.  It will require income to fix that, and I'd agree you'll never achieve it at a low paying job swapping hours for dollars. It's what I teach others and it would please me to see you become a good example.  If you can make it from where you are to some level of financial maturity you'd be an inspiration to many.

You say you want to be smart like me.  What you don't know is I only got smart from a lot of years being in your position.  You weren't around when your grandmother and I were eating off paper plates with plastic forks, living in a cheap apartment with cracks in the walls and roaches everywhere.

The days when we had to buy groceries daily and borrow a car to go anywhere out of town and get a loan for $50 from her dad to buy a TV are never discussed with you.  You'll never know how sheltered your 20 years on earth have been because you've never really suffered adversity. Certainly not your fault, but as you've already learned, it can be a mean, unforgiving world if you're left to fend for yourself.

For many, these economic times are going to get worse and the easy street of the past will close down. I'm happy to put you in a position to learn as long as the training is used and you don't quit the first time you hit an obstacle.  There is no business without them.

You're inner strength, commonly referred to as smarts, will come from your ability to push forward until you succeed.  If you don't, only frustration will be the end result.

You can do real estate if you want.  It may seem complicated to you in the beginning, but so will anything new.

The easiest way to make money is to wholesale a junker.  You can learn that from 5 CD's you can get from Andy.  After you've listened to them, I want you to write down and present to me your plan to proceed.  I'll then help you do only the items necessary to get you're first check, which should be $3,000 - $5,000.

If I see good progress, I'll make arrangements to send you to the boot camp in New York and advance you the travel cost. Notice there is no gift mentioned here.

You and Chris will sign a note for all costs plus 10% interest plus another note to GPI for $2,500, which is the standard employee cost.  All to be paid back from future deals.

I'll be teaching the New York event, so you're fortunate to be in this rare position and how you handle it will dictate your future.

The good news is I've helped thousands get where you want to go. The bad news is I didn't do it for them.  They did it on their own with my instruction and support.  You will do the same.

Sincerely,
Grandpa
