Successful Meetings: How to Plan, Prepare, and Execute Top-Notch Business Meetings

A study by MCI found that most professionals believe that over 50 percent of meeting time is wasted. More than 90 percent admit to daydreaming in meetings, 73 percent have brought other work, and 39 percent have fallen asleep. You might think that there would be fewer meetings. However, in the survey 46 percent said they attended more meetings than a year ago.

 

Meetings cost time and money. Many meetings end with no results or outcome. How can you be sure you are using your time and money effectively? The answer: with proper training. Even MBA graduates have never had a course in how to plan, organize, and present an effective meeting. That is the subject of this new book that will teach the proper skills and training to get great results — with every meeting, every time! You will learn  the checklists for planning your meeting, setting the agenda, strategic planning, how the  physical setting can be improved, how to properly open a meeting, handling difficult people, maintaining control, how to assess and evaluate your meetings, and the correct method to end a meeting. Good meetings do not just happen - they are planned and created.

The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options: What Smart Investors Need to Know - Explained Simply

You are about to learn the true secret of real estate investing – real estate options. Who really makes money in real estate? Realtors, sellers, appraisers, the bank, brokers, mortgage brokers, closing companies, attorneys, taxing authorities, and lastly perhaps you, the investor who takes all the risks and does all the work, while having to evict tenants and clean up their mess after they have left.

But there is a new, unique, and innovative method of investing in real estate. A real estate option gives you control of a piece of real estate without actually purchasing it. By having an option on a piece of property, you have the exclusive right to buy that property or not. A real estate option is simply a contract between the seller and “buyer,” giving you the legal right – not obligation – to buy the property at a set price for a predetermined time. When you find a buyer for the property, you cash in your option … and deposit a large check.

Most real estate investment methods require you to spend a lot of your money, time, and effort. And it is a slow process – usually one property at a time, often part time. Using an option instead of purchasing means you do not have to deal with rental property, tenants, maintenance and repairs, taxes, mortgage payments, commissions, or closing costs. In this new book you will learn how to control a vast real estate portfolio without ever buying the property. Let the owner keep paying the mortgage, dealing with tenants, and all of the costs. You zero in on the profits.

Here is an example. You locate a duplex worth $400,000. You purchase an option to buy it for $340,000 anytime within the next 120 days. On Day 60, you find a buyer who will pay the full $400,000. You activate the option, pay the seller $340,000, and pocket $60,000. This is a simplified example, but this new book details how to become a highly successful real estate option buyer, and it demonstrates step-by-step how to get started in this highly rewarding investment strategy.

You will be prepared for restrictions pertaining to children, pets, parking, vehicles, boats, music, maintenance of windows, doors, screens, air conditioners, plumbing, club memberships, recreation facility leases, use of recreational facilities, and common areas. In addition, you will learn the advantages of using credit reports, home warranties, insurance, creative financing, closing procedures, moving plans, closing and settlement inspections, and certain legal contracts. You will have instruction in obtaining mortgages—which government agencies can help, considerations for veterans, IRA use, hiring an attorney, calculating monthly payments, and establishing an escrow account.
