Why Most Real Estate Investors Build Wealth Too Slowly
(And How to Do it Better)
With George AntoneSometimes our Saturday classes are about specific real estate skills and tactics that need more time than our regular meetings allow for.
Sometimes, and just as importantly, they focus on the BIG picture—understanding money, and finance, and how to use what you have to get what you want.
This is one of the latter—and if your goal is to build long-term, lifetime, generational wealth, you need to be here.
George Antone, our favorite best-selling author and financial genius, joins us to teach this eye-opening workshop on one of the biggest mistakes real estate investors make:
Thinking that the smart way to play the game is to buy assets and wait 20 years for them to grow, pay off, and make you rich.In fact, that mathematically inefficient thinking why so many of us work incredibly hard for years and still feel financially stuck.
This workshop is about understanding velocity of money—how to use leverage, timing, capital, and credit strategically to accelerate wealth creation FIRST…so that later, you actually have wealth worth preserving.
Instead of focusing too early on low-return, low-velocity investments (sound like any of your rentals?), George teaches a sophisticated system for:
- Building momentum
- Eliminating financial bottlenecks
- Increasing efficiency
- Compressing the timeline to financial freedom
If you’ve ever thought:
- “I should be farther ahead financially by now”
- “Why does wealth building feel so slow?”
- “I’m doing deals, but I still don’t feel financially free”
- “There has to be a smarter way to use money and leverage”
…then this workshop is for you.
In this powerful online training, you’ll learn, PARTLY HANDS-ON IN BREAKOUT ROOMS,- Why most investors build wealth too slowly
- The difference between growth money, investment money, and preservation money
- Why many investors use long-term wealth-preservation strategies too early
- How velocity of money changes the speed of wealth creation
- Why leverage matters differently in different phases of wealth building
- How to use capital and credit more efficiently
- Why rentals often work better as wealth-building and wealth-preservation tools than early-stage wealth-creation tools
- How to build enough momentum to create true financial freedom faster
- The hidden bottlenecks slowing down most investors
- A more strategic framework for sequencing financial decisions
Building Wealth Was Never Meant To Take This Long.
**This is one you’ll want to attend live, if you can, because there will be hands-on breakout rooms where you’ll learn to actually WORK ON an investment plan—**but yes, it will also be recorded and all registrants will receive the recording, so register even if you can’t attend live.
Your investment is only $47 by Thursday, June 11th if you're a member, $97 by Thursday, June 11th if you're not (but since it only costs $30 a month to join, it's smarter to do that, and get access to our other 20 monthly meeting, and save $50)
And as always, Express Success Members are FREE (but you do have to register).
After Thursday, June 11th, pricing increases to $67 for members and $127 for non-members.
Oh, and you’ll be 100% glad you came or your money back.
Whether you are brand new to investing or already actively building a portfolio, this workshop will challenge the way you think about wealth itself.
Members: $47 through Thursday / $67 after
Non-members: $97 through Thursday / $127 afterRemember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go HERE and register on our website!
