This is an important update-PLEASE READ! I would like to share this update dated June 2, 2011 – After much thought, I have decided to leave Trace Trajano‘s local coaching program and my role as one of the local coaches. I would also like to inform everyone that I am not part of Trace’s other programs.

For those who don’t know, I was once a student of Trace, and I was also part of the team that won his first apprentice challenge, although I decided to leave the RYP team last September 2010. I became one of the local coaches as part of the now defunct Terrific Trio University. I also helped promote his seminars in the past including TRQ 1.0, TRQ 2.0, TRQ Cebu, his quick cash seminars, and the last one was TRQ 3.0.

It has also come to my attention that some materials that Trace used in marketing some of his seminars might make it appear that I am one of his partners. I would like to make it clear that I am not a business partner of Trace Trajano.

Things did not turn out as planned, but lessons have been learned, and I feel it is time for me to move on. ~ end of update ~

If you attended the recently held Think Rich Quick seminar last March 27, 2010, you already know that Trace Trajano has come up with an Apprentice Challenge. My teammates and I are currently competing in that challenge.

Why we joined the Apprentice Challenge

One of the reasons why we joined the challenge was because we also believe in Trace’s vision of having one million Pinoy millionaires by the year 2020, a vision that he shares with Larry Gamboa, best-selling author of “Think Rich Pinoy“. Don’t you want to be one of those millionaires?

One million Pinoy millionaires by 2020? You might think we guys are crazy!

But wait, I did the numbers and I found out that if I helped at least 4 people become millionaires through real estate investing in 2010, and each of these four also helped at least 4 other people after they become millionaires themselves, and so on and so forth, we would have 1,048,576 Pinoy millionaires by 2019! That’s one year ahead of schedule! We can even achieve this earlier if this was done as a team and if we continue to teach more people each year. Imagine that!

We also want to be mentored by Trace Trajano and his team. Why not learn from one of the best real estate mentors one can ever have, and a Filipino mentor at that?!

Last but not the least, even before the challenge, we already had plans to set up our own real estate company so we might as well start it now, with mentoring and guidance from Trace and the Think Rich Pinoy franchisees, and we also get to do it as a team.

What we’ll get if we win

If we win the Challenge, our team shall become Trace’s Philippine real estate company, and his business partners. Trace’s vision for the real estate company is to earn Php 1 million per month in revenue, through techniques like wholesaling, retailing, and rent-to-own where Trace is an expert. Sure, it won’t happen overnight, but who wouldn’t want a piece of that?!

If our team wins, we also get to help in mentoring the participants of the next Apprentice Challenge of Trace which is to be held right after the next Think Rich Quick Seminar, and that will happen barely six months from now.

As early as today, we are committed to impart our knowledge and virtually everything we will learn to those who are willing and are committed to learn real estate investing. Being Trace’s partners would really help speed up the learning process not just for us but for everyone else as well. In other words, if we had our way, no one gets left behind!

We will be more than happy to serve others by helping them learn the lessons we have learned, do what we were able to do, achieve what we were able to achieve, and so much more, just like what Trace often mentions where he actually looks forward to the day when his students and apprentices will become even better than him when it comes to real estate investing. Spoken like a true mentor!

But we cannot do this alone

Obviously, to be successful in real estate investing, aside from having an excellent team, you also need to build your network. I’m so thankful I am already part of such a team. The logic here is one person can only achieve a certain level of success in real estate investing, but this can grow exponentially with the right team.

However, even with an excellent team, we still need to build a network that would consist of partners, investors, buyers, sellers, brokers, agents, banks, contractors, appraisers, real estate lawyers, property managers, or just about everyone involved in the real estate industry.

What to expect if we win the Apprentice Challenge

A lot of you may be asking, “So you need our help, what’s in it for us?”. We will obviously learn so much from this challenge and one thing I can assure you all is that we will share as much as we can with just about everyone out there who is willing to learn from us and our mentors.

How do you know that we will do this? Well, I have been doing this ever since I started Foreclosure Philippines (formerly Foreclosed Real Estate Philippines). I believe we should all have an abundance mentality, where we believe that there is more than enough for everyone. I have been doing this for more than a year and I don’t intend to stop anytime soon. I’m really glad that my teammates also share the same belief. You can trust me on this!

We can also earn while we learn together. Why don’t we become partners even beyond the Apprentice Challenge?

Brokers, Realtors, and real estate agents that are such a big help in helping us get connected with sellers and find great deals can also help us sell or lease our properties to buyers and tenants, and possibly earn double commissions from us in the process.

We can partner with fellow real estate investors who either lack time or simply cannot do it yet due to physical constraints (like OFW’s or those with demanding full-time jobs) or maybe those who still lack some of the skills needed to go into active real estate investing. We can help them earn passive income by becoming investors for our deals, or we can do the legwork and take care of the nitty-gritty details either for them or WITH them if they really want to learn. These can include finding buyers and sellers, pre-qualifying them based on a set of criteria, analyzing deals, helping with the legal matters and taxes, assisting in working with banks, appraisers, contractors, or just about any challenge fellow investors may be facing right now or in the future.

Speaking of banks, we can easily help banks dispose their non-performing assets by either buying them or marketing them. We may even be able to help homeowners avoid the foreclosure of their homes which would really be a win-win situation for everyone.

We can also help those who need to sell their properties fast with the lessons we have learned about extreme marketing.

We can even help buyers find the properties they are looking for with the help of our growing network of partners.

In other words, if we win, we shall be in a better position to help others and our success will be everyone’s success!

How are we faring in the Apprentice Challenge?

I’m glad to report that our team is doing very well and is currently the front-runner of the Apprentice Challenge.

For those who are not part of the Challenge, the following are the first three Challenge rounds:

1. BONUS Round: Help the most number of OFW’s learn about financial literacy. We invited the most number of OFW’s and relatives to attend the OFW mini seminar and got first place.
2. FIRST CHALLENGE: The challenge was to sell a property in 3 weeks and we won first place because we were able to close the deal in a record-breaking 6 days! Nice!
3. SECOND CHALLENGE: Find a good deal for a buyer in 2 weeks and earn at least Php100K in profit – this Challenge is still ongoing and we are positive that our efforts will produce the closing sale we need early this week.

Three more challenges to go. More sleepless weeks, more brainstorming and strategic planning sessions, and implementation activities with the team.

Partnering with a Champion team

Do we get tired? Of course we do! Most of us have families, children and even full-time jobs (This excludes me. Remember, I just got out of the rat race recently! DJ is also excluded as he is living a life without a boss), and we need to cope with all of these every day while we are doing the challenge.

But we are willing to put our necks on the line for this worthwhile challenge because we believe in the principles behind everything that we do. The learning and the rewards are priceless. The experiences we get and the people we meet while doing the Apprentice Challenge are more than enough to give us the winning attitude. Even if we don’t emerge as the winning team of the Challenge, we will forever carry with us the heart of a Champion. And that’s the kind of team that is committed to partner with all of you. Nevertheless, we want to win this challenge!

Reality bites…

*Update as of September 2010 – I have officially left the RYP team. I’ll just say things did not turn out as expected, but lessons have been learned. So If you plan on being part of any future apprentice challenge, all I can say to you is… good luck!

To our success and financial freedom!

2, What is the difference from previous Think Rich Pinoy seminars?
a. Some attendees can get to play Cashflow 202. This is a more advanced GAME w/c contains stock options (puts and calls), network marketing, easier to bankrupt and harder to leave the rat race. Don’t
know what I mean? That’s okay, play Cashflow 101 instead. 202 is designed for the “veteran player” and those who believe they have what it takes to become wealthy in a short short time.

b. To enhance enjoyment, there will be a contest among tables to see w/c one group gets out of the rat race more. If your group wins, congratulations, you have learned more!

c. People who wish to leave brochures, calling cards, samples to market to the seminar attendees may do so using a promotion/marketing table.

f. What’s an ebook?

Bank Deposit: BPI Account Name: ESTI-TRP(Think Rich Pinoy); Account# 8291-0083-57. (Checking)

Just email thinkrichpinoyseminar@gmail.com with the scanned deposit slip or paypal acknowledgment receipt with following data: Name, Address, Email Address, Cell # and Landline # AFTER you have paid via paypal or bank deposit.

5. Can we get a group discount?
If there are five of you, you can avail of the early bird discount (P1975.-) even until the last day of payment (November 3).

6. Other discounts?
If you want to attend AGAIN, you can pay 50% of the fee (P 2450 * 50% = P 1225.00) – just P 1225.00 to attend again and play cashflow 202 or 101, perhaps to challenge yourself. But you must hurry because there are very limited slots for these.

7. Maximum number of participants?
We can only accommodate 120 participants per session.

8. Is this a scam?
No. This is a financial education seminar and Cashflow game. The game uses play money. However, if your mindset is “scam” – unfortunately this is not the place to go – you won’t find any.

The goal of Think Rich Pinoy is to create wealth –using whatever legal means-though primarily through real estate – because that’s the safest way to go. You will not be required to buy property from Think Rich Pinoy people (at any given time we actually have only a handful available properties and we don’t get investors just because they have
the money) -you go buy them from sellers out there in the world. We just enable you to start building your wealth.
Real Estate Investing Wisdom is not taught in schools. That’s why we’re doing this. But the Think Rich Pinoy is NOT an end of learning,it’s a beginning -so please do not make the mistake of thinking you’ll become wealthy because of this one seminar.

You might get one idea that can propel you to become a millionaire, it happens quite a lot. You might get it from the people, the game, the seminar, who knows? The important thing is -you’re ready to accept that idea and run with it. That’s where Think Rich Pinoy comes in-we make you ready or at least we set you off to the path of becoming
truly wealthy.

9. Can i pay on the site (UN Avenue Venue)?
You may but there’s no guarantee of being able to play cashflow as the slots are very limited. Better to secure your seat via credit card (using paypal.com Buy your seminar ticket here!) or deposit to the bank. If you’re abroad, the best way is to open a free paypal.com account, connect your credit card to it–following it’s directions –so you can buy a ticket online. Connecting your credit card to a paypal account is not a quick thing to do-so I suggest you do so now-even if you’re planning to pay later.

10. Schedule?
November 21, Saturday, 2009, 8am (we start promptly) to 6pm.

11. Venue?
Training Pavilion of Philam Life, UN Avenue, Manila

12. How to get there?

Commuting:
Go down at the UN Avenue LRT station, walk towards the Manila Bay with Manila Doctor’s Hospital on your right.
The Philamlife Building is in front of the Manila Pavilion/Casino Filipino.
Yes, it’s ironic but that’s where the Think Rich Pinoy event is held. Enter Philamlife entrance (not the casino).
Just tell the guard “Think Rich Pinoy” and you’ll be pointed to a training room just beside the nice outdoor chapel in a garden is located – so it isn’t really ironic. Just fitting.

Toilets would be opposite the direction of the training room.

Car
If you have a car, the parking is on the back of the building. You’ll have to take the other street parallel to UN Avenue, that’s Padre Faura (from Taft in the direction going to Robinson’s Place Mall Faura
Wing) and turn right at M Orosa, so you can reach the Philam Parking (w/c would be to your right.)

Map
A google earth/maps copy of the area is found in
http://fireurl.com/cggb

13. Lunch/Snack included?
Yes, we will serve a morning snack and lunch.

14. What should I bring?
If you want an autographed copy of your Think Rich Pinoy books, bring them.Bring a camera and get a photo shoot with Larry Gamboa. Why? Because it works. Most successful people do that, why shouldn’t you?
Your choice.

15. When do you plan to do a seminar here in (Country,City)?
We’re coming up with a manual on how someone in your city can host a Think Rich Pinoy event. If you’re really serious about this, please contact thinkrichpinoyseminar@gmail.com and say “I want to HOST Think Rich Pinoy” and we’ll take it from there.

Right now TRP events are all held in Manila. You can “count the cost” and fly in- like some people do or simply wait it out. The most important thing is to DO SOMETHING.
