You are personally invited to a FREE online webinar event this
Sunday evening, Nov. 7th, at 9:00 p.m. ET. 

This online event covers how you can be debt-free (including
your mortgage) much faster than you can imagine, along with
saving for retirement, no matter what your age. 

Go here to register…

There are many things that distinguish this system from many
of the other debt-free programs out there.  Here are a few of
them:

1) This system offers you a personal blueprint specific to
your financial situation, complete with your own actual
get-out-of-debt date, rather than a “one size fits all”
general lecture which is left up to you to figure it out
on your own.

2) Many programs advocate either paying the smallest balance
first, or paying the highest interest first, etc.  Which is
the most effective?  It depends!  This system calculates
what is best for you and your specific situation, and gives
you an actual plan and a detailed pay-down schedule.

3) This system offers upon request (at no charge) live coaches
to assist class participants with every aspect of this system
and to help families carry out the plans laid out in their
blueprint.  You are never charged a fee for this service!

There’s much much more, but we will cover that when we “see”
you on the webinar.

Blessings!

P.S. Pass this along to your friends and colleagues, too, that
you know can benefit from this powerful webinar event.  Even if
you are currently meeting your monthly obligations, it doesn’t
matter – it’s still DEBT!

There’s no doubt that Short Sales are one of the main ways
to invest in real estate in this market.

But, if you’re like me, you haven’t had good success with
them trying to negotiate between the sellers and the lenders.

Plus, with the laws changing nearly every day, it’s hard to
keep up with it all to make sure you’re doing everything
right.  It’s like hitting a moving target!

But done correctly, it can be very lucrative, and be a source
of great help for every party involved (including you)!

Short sales are tough, but if you’re serious about them, you
might as well have your deals negotiated for you by the single
best short sale negotiator in the country, Ben Pargman.

I’ve known about Ben for years, but have just recently
personally connected with him, and he’s the real deal.

Check out what he’s doing here…

He’s waiving the $3,000 fee he normally charges new clients,
and there is NOBODY who knows the business of short sales
like Ben does.

Blessings!

Mark

P.S.  If you really want to tackle short sales, this is the
ONLY way to go!

This offer ends tomorrow, Thursday, at midnight.

This is the last of the three steps in this short blog series…

Step #1 is Getting Out Of Debt.

Step #2 is Starting Your Own Business, The Low-Risk Way.

Step #3 is Understanding the Real Estate Market.

Notice I said “understand” the market, not necessarily “buy”
or “invest” in real estate.  It all depends.  There’s a time
to buy, and a time to sell, and a time to do nothing but
wait!

It’s all about the timing.  Ask me how I know that!

Everyone should watch the real estate market, because it’s
good to be aware of it for any investment properties, but
for your personal residence as well, which as many have
seen, is not the investment/asset they once thought!

I’m watching the real estate market now and studying
different methods and niches to determine what specific
strategies are working best or not working at all, and
I’ll be sharing some of this as well in the coming months.

You can’t always believe what some real estate “guru” tells
you is the best method ever.  Maybe 5 years ago, but not now.

I do know that some of these “gurus” that are teaching
their preferred method of investing are sitting on the
sidelines themselves right now – not ALL of them, but
some of them.

I’m looking at a number of ideas, and a number of real
estate programs, but I will tell you I’m being extremely
conservative and low-risk (even NO risk) in what I am
considering for myself and for YOU.

I was hit extremely hard in real estate because I wrongly
assumed that prices would always go up, but I will not make
that mistake again.  And it’s still not certain if we
have seen the bottom of home prices yet.  Some
experts say we’re still years away from the bottom.

So I look forward to sharing more with you on this subject
in the near future.  We won’t focus on this as urgently as
the first two steps, but it will follow behind.

Blessed (to be a wise investor who multiplied his talents),

Watch this before you buy gold and silver

Posted by: Mark | Comments (0)

More of you are asking about gold and silver lately, so I
thought you may enjoy this 20-minute video from a trustworthy
source I have been following for a couple of years now…

Nothing to buy, and no sign-up required because I’m sending
you the direct link.  I called the company this morning to make
sure this was okay since you aren’t subscribers to their
publication.  They did tell me that the video would only be up
until the beginning to middle of next week.

(Hopefully the name of the publication won’t be too offensive
for some of you!) :)

You can watch the video by clicking here:

http://bitcast-g.bitgravity.com/agorafinancial/WNG/coin/

Give it a minute or so to load.  The video is called “Nine Things
You Need to Know Before Buying Gold and Silver.”

I’ll be on the lookout for other good resources in the precious
metals markets, and will send them your way if I find more.

Blessings!

Mark

P.S.  If I don’t send anything else out before the end of next
week, please have a Merry CHRIST-mas!

I hope everyone is doing well today. 

I am pleased to announce that we now have a digital mp3 download available of the Multiple Streams of Income for the Christian Entrepreneur Program that you can put directly into your computer or iPod. 

Because this doesn’t involve actual CDs that have to be duplicated and shipped, the cost of the digital download format is only $47, while the CD version was $77.

Go here to check it out:

I know things are tight for many of us right now, so I hope the savings with this new format makes it even more feasible for you to be able to get it and incorporate the powerful concepts you will learn in this series.

Blessings!

Are you relying on one income source?

Posted by: Mark | Comments (2)

In a three-year period, I bought millions of dollars in residential real estate.  I still believe that real estate is one of the best vehicles to create wealth, and that everyone should invest in real estate whether it’s your main income or you’re just buying a couple of houses a year to add to your retirement portfolio.

But some things happened in my real estate business that caused my monthly cash flow to go down significantly.  I will follow up in the future about some of the lessons learned during this time specifically regarding real estate, but the point right now is…

The income from the residential real estate business was all I had at the time – income that I had come to rely on as a sole source. 

God used the situation to teach me more than ever the importance of multiple streams of income.  I had always believed in it, but thought I didn’t have to concern myself with it, since real estate was MY business, and I would NEVER need anything else, right?

Even if you have a steady job, I recommend that you have your own business of some kind on the side instead of relying on that one income source for obvious reasons.  Don’t have fear of losing your job, but be wise and prepare in case things don’t go as planned.

If you are diverse in your businesses, investments, and real estate, then you won’t be affected as greatly as markets change in various areas.  If there is a bump in the road with one of your markets (or the loss of a job), you have the others that continue to flow.  In the current economy, this is not just a good idea, but could be essential for the future.

This situation in my life is what birthed the Multiple Streams of Income for the Christian Entrepreneur 7-CD Audio Program.  If you haven’t picked up a copy, you can click here to learn more about the program and the whole idea of multiple streams.

Now I have three main streams of income that I am currently building with some others in the works.  I want real estate (commercial and residential) to be just one of many sources for me.  This time, I hope I’m building wealth much smarter and wiser.

Thank you for listening!

Is Fear Holding You Back?

Posted by: Mark | Comments (0)

You may have thought for some time that you would like to start your own business or at least do something different to change your financial situation.

But with the economic uncertainties we are facing right now, maybe you feel this is not the time to step out and take a risk.  On the contrary, it is more risky to sit back and do nothing than it is to step out and do something new. 

This is exactly what Jesus was telling us in the parable of the minas, or talents, in Luke 19, when the “wicked servant” buried his investment in the ground because he was too afraid to take any risks. 

The truth is that it’s more important than ever, right now, to implement new strategies in your life.  Now is the best time to start or build a business, or to start investing in something besides your 401(k)s.

Many of us blame the economic challenges as the reason we should sit back and do nothing, but what was the excuse a few years ago when the economy was thriving (at least on the surface), and we didn’t act on any new strategies then?  The reason is:  FEAR!

Trust in the Lord to give you discernment for what you specifically are to do during these uncertain times, but don’t let fear be the reason you are holding back!

The mission statement of EPIC Wealth Strategies is “Empowering the Christian Entrepreneur with the knowledge of creating multiple streams of income through businesses, investments, and real estate.”

That’s the sole purpose of our new 7-CD audio program called “Multiple Streams of Income for the Christian Entrepreneur.”

Biblical Answer to our Economic Challenges

Posted by: Mark | Comments (0)

Most of us have heard the phrase “multiple streams of income” as a means of achieving financial freedom.  The advantage of multiple streams is if one stream dries up or slows down, you have others flowing in to pick up the slack.
 
Is this a new idea?  Not at all.  The Scriptures are in agreement.  Ecclesiastes 11 speaks of taking risks and making multiple investments rather than operating out of fear and exercising too much caution.  But look at verses 1 & 2…

“Cast your bread upon the waters [plural], for you will find it after many days.  Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth.”

This “evil” can simply be, as one example, the current economic challenges we are facing as individuals and as a nation.  We can pray, we can fast, we can declare, we can tithe (and we need to do all of these), but the Lord also gives us wisdom in taking some practical (and biblical) steps to ensure our financial well-being.

Multiple income streams is one way to minimize or even eliminate the “evil,” because if you have enough streams, one can completely disappear and you won’t even notice it too much.

This passage goes on to say in verse 6, “In the morning, sow your seed, and in the evening, do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good.”

I’ve just finished a new 7-CD audio series with bonus material called “Multiple Streams of Income for the Christian Entrepreneur.”  This teaching has literally been birthed through the challenges of the past year that many of us in the body of Christ have experienced.

This is a timely message for the body of Christ.  Pick up your set today and let other believers know about it who want to be blessed so they can be a blessing to others!
