Import & Export : Learn the Model, Remove the Risk, Build the Business
## **Import & Export — Learn the Model, Remove the Risk, Build the Business**
**Casual Learning & Support Session \| LeaderSHIFT Community**
There is growing interest in import/export as a business — but most people get stuck on the same questions:
* Where do I start?
* How do I avoid getting burned?
* How do I finance deals safely?
* How do I find real clients (not tire-kickers)?
This session is designed to answer those questions clearly and practically.
### **📌 Format (Two-Part Session)**
**First Hour – Foundations (Beginner Friendly)**
This is a structured walkthrough for anyone who wants to understand the business from the ground up. We will cover:
* How the import/export business actually works
* How to structure deals using government programs and banks to reduce or eliminate risk
* How financing can be used properly (without putting yourself in danger)
* How to find clients and generate deal flow
* Common mistakes and traps to avoid
All attendees will receive a **free booklet and resource package** with the information needed to begin setting up their own import/export business.
**Second Hour – Open Support & Deal Discussion (Optional)**
This portion is for:
* People already working on deals
* Those who understand the model and want deeper discussion
* Anyone seeking feedback on a specific roadblock
* Individuals who want to offer insight, support, or collaboration
It becomes a collaborative, peer-supported environment rather than a formal presentation.
### **☕ Setting**
This is a **casual, low-pressure meetup** held at Second Cup (Sheppard Centre, Yonge & Sheppard). Grab a coffee, bring your questions, and engage at your own pace.
No pitches. No hype. Just real knowledge, real structure, and real conversation.

This training is designed for real estate agents who want to learn how to play the Agent Investor game. The goal of this training is to help you flip your income into ownership.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
**Most real estate agents build their business one transaction at a time.**
Investors build wealth—and they buy repeatedly.

* The Creative Investor – complex deals and problem-solving
* The Private Lender – capital partners who enable scale

* Why investors represent a massive opportunity in today’s market
* How working with investors elevates you to a Real Estate Wealth Advisor
* The key questions that quickly decode investor goals and timelines
* A clear action plan to start building your investor pipeline
