Dream BIG & The Law Of Attraction WILL Make It Happen For You & For Me

It’s a big question, but also a simple, one sort of. What do you want? What do you want in your personal life? If you sit there and really, really think about it it’s not actually that simple for some reason. Or is it? Are we, am I just complicating things? I’ve reached all my goals, I have all the money I need but sometimes I’m still not happy. So what do I want in my life? I want to be happy. Happiness is different from everyone’s perspective. What makes one person happy, is not going to necessarily make another person happy. Happiness is based on you, yourself. Only you know what makes you happy.?

So when you write down your goals you need to know what will make YOU happy. Is money going to make you happy? Maybe. Maybe not. The problem with me is that I’m too hard on myself. I hold onto things that I should just wash away like the flush of a toilet. Many times, always actually my mind is the one that leads to my unhappiness. Being happy is a state of mind. Being happy is your perception of your own life. Some people are happy and they have absolutely nothing, some people are unhappy and they have absolutely everything. For you to reach any kind of goal you need to know what will make you happy. What is it that you really, truly want in your own life. One of the first goals I set was to make $100 per day online which took me 12 months to achieve and from that day forward I knew I was going to be financially free. But as with all things once you get used to making a certain amount of money the novelty wears off. So you need to increase your goals, it’s the best way to keep the fire burning inside of you.

Anticipation always ignites a fire inside of you. When anticipating going on a vacation, the lead-up to the vacation, the thoughts and images you have in your mind of you going on that vacation are usually much bigger and grander than when you’re actually on the vacation. The best way to fight unhappiness is to always have big goals to reach for. This keeps you motivated, this keeps you focussed and this keeps you in check with what you want in your life. Once you achieve your goal, immediately make a new one so you’re always focussed on the positive and focussed in the right direction not the negative direction.

Shifting YOUR paradigm is essential if you want to have true happiness in your life. You need to be bettering yourself every single day forever. Always move forward. Keep the negative voices out of your mind, they do absolutely nothing beneficial for you. Stop the useless chatter that disrupts the power of positive thinking.

 So what the fuck do I want in my life? I made more than enough money to retire at this point, I have my dream house, I have a secondary vacation home in Las Vegas I have a great family. So what next? What’s next that can keep me focussed in the positive direction that I need to stay in in order for me to be happy? More money? Money is just an indicator that keeps you in check. Just having money for the sake of having money in my opinion only benefits to a certain degree.

 Every morning I usually do some form of exercise, if that’s going for a 45 minute walk around the neighbourhood, going to my gym and using the exercise bike for 20 minutes or lifting weights which I do three times per week.

During those early morning walks I’m usually listening to various inspirational videos on YouTube from people such as Bob Proctor. This I found has been very helpful in keeping me pointed in the right direction. It’s so easy to forget how you got to where you are. It’s easy just to go back into your old routine and forget how much you’ve actually achieved. Less than 1% of the population has come close to what I’ve done in a 20 year span. Keeping myself in check watching inspirational videos on the Law of Attraction, goal-setting Etc is very important.

This morning I was listening to Bob and he says that you need a goal so big that when you achieve it you will be astonished. He says there’s really no point setting goals that you know you can achieve because you’re not really bettering you. In order to get maximum results you need to think as big as possible. I don’t want to retire, for me it  not the right choice. I enjoy working from home, I enjoy working with myself from my home office.

My goal is to achieve $5,000 us per day at least for the next three years if not more, let’s make it five years. My goal is to make $5,000 us profit per day every single day for the next 5 years. I put that intention into the universe and I expect to receive it before the end of 2019

18 Years Of Success & Many More To Come & New 2019 Fall Goals That I Will Be Reaching

18 Years Later I'm Still Kicking A$$ Working Online

Here I am 18 years later! I haven't posted on this blog regarding goals for 8 years, amazing. But the time has come for me to once again brush off the cobwebs, clean the dust off this blog and polish up my ever so loved MotionGroove.com. I registered this website in 2001, 17 years ago! This website  has been around longer than my kids have. I forgot about this site, as new technologies took form such as Facebook, Instagram Etc I stopped posting here and instead uploaded photographs onto my Facebook page and my Instagram page.

 But I'm back here with a specific GOAL in mind (no pun intended LOL). Motion Groove will be used for me as it once was to list my achievements and write down my goals. One of the main reasons I was able to skyrocket my wealth and my quality of life I believe was because I was writing down my goals which then held me accountable not only to myself but to the world (though very few people ever read this blog LOL, except Rob).

 Originally this website was for my web development agency which consisted of only me. But I got tired of dealing with clients very quickly and from there I started working online doing internet marketing. Many years have passed since I've even talked about that subject on this blog or pretty much anywhere. Many things have changed online. Many of the guru's I used to look up to are either gone or not in the limelight any longer. It's been almost a decade but I am still here stronger than ever. Although I have had some setbacks those are small in comparison to what other people have to deal with working regular nine-to-five jobs (IMHO).

 I've been using YouTube as well as many other social media outlets to catapult my income to the next level in the last six years. But, as we all know things are constantly evolving and changing especially in the online space. What works today to market your product doesn't necessarily work tomorrow. That's good and bad. There's always new opportunities when old ones close but it's frustrating when you find something that's working and then you need to reinvent yourself again. If you read through previous goal reaching posts you will see that this has happened many, many times. I'm definitely not complaining but it's a learning curve to deal with constant changes. And here we are 9 years later once again. I'm ready for the next level, however it presents itself, wherever it presents itself I am here ready for the challenge.

The millions of dollars of income I have been able to make has blown me away. But of course eventually you get used to whatever your seeing on a daily basis. If you're making $100 a day, you will adjust and get used to spending and staying within that parameter. If you're making $4,000 per day you will adjust and get used to that as well. Humans are very fluid creatures, they are masters at adapting to their environment.

Enough of the rambling I would like to get into specific goals that I want to achieve by specific dates. This is all part of the process that is known as the law of attraction. What you release into the universe comes back to you. If you think positive thoughts, positivity will come your way. Whatever you focus on expands, so focus on what you want not what you don't want. If you want to make $1000000 a year a $1000000 will come your way on a yearly basis. It might sound crazy, it may be hard to believe and many times I don't believe it but the proof is in the pudding. I'm living proof that this does work. I used to make $1,000 every two weeks (when I was a carpenter in the 1990s) BUT for many years I've been making $3,000 usd per day, which is the equivalent of $4000 Canadian dollars EVERY FUCKING DAY. So I have been making two months wages every single day for many years! INCREDIBLE RIGHT!

Specific Goalsyes

  •  I want to achieve $2,000 USD per day by October 14, 2019. This goal is $2,000 us profit per day online. I want this to be an ongoing income stream that last for many, many years to come.yes
  • I want to purchase real estate that will make me an income stream of $10,000 per month.
  •  I want to get down to 175 lb, with a six-pack showing, with big biceps and triceps, as well as a big back by October 14, 2019.
  • Also part of my goals includes watching more videos about positive thinking, law of attraction, goal setting, making money online and offline, real estate, and working out.

  At the present time I'm in a little bit of a slump and that's why I'm posting again. Although to the novice this might sound ridiculous about posting about your income goals on a website in my opinion it works because I know what I was able to achieve by writing down my goal. Writing down my goals gives me clarity, gave me a vision and it held me accountable every single day. I'm the kind of person that if I say going to do something I feel that I have to do it. It doesn't matter if I say I'm going to meet you for coffee and I don't feel like it, I still will go. If I want to lose weight and I don't feel like going to the gym that day in the back of my mind I can't let myself down so I have to go to the gym. I've always been this way and that's one of the reasons I feel that I was able to to achieve such great success.

 At the present time I'm trying to bring up my income I feel that I've tried many different avenues that I thought would work but haven't. But things are changing and I know that things are going to escalate very quickly. It's hard to deal with negative situations, but the best thing you can do is take a deep breath sit down and just think. Negative thinking is very detrimental not only physically, not only mentally but also financially. The quicker you can use your mind in a positive manner to bounce back the quicker you will bounce back.

 In my life I have absolutely nothing to complain about but just like every human being we all want more. This is just human nature there's nothing wrong with it. That's what helped us to develop the world we live in. If we were satisfied with our surroundings we would still be living in caves using sticks to create fire. laugh

 I'm not 100% certain how I'm going to reach my $2000 US dollar per day goal because certain things have changed with how I was making money online before. But that hasn't stopped me before and it won't stop me again. Things always change and it's my duty to change with them, turning a supposed negative situation into a very positive one.

 My goal then over a one-year outlook would be $720,000 USD profit. I will however reevaluate this goal as soon as I hit $60,000 a month which should be by November 14th 2019. From there I will increase what I want to make on a daily basis to $3,000 us per day in profit.

 Let the Good Times begin, let the creativity flow let the money roll in like a waterfall that never, ever, ever stops!

Thankyou God.yes

Las Vegas Real Estate From A Canadian Investor’s Perspective

The sky is falling in the USA!! Don't buy anything, stay far away from the U.S! Sound familiar?  You have to love the media, always ready to scare the shit out of you for ratings. Fear sells news papers, remember that people. I learned long ago there are 2 sides to the story, his story, your story and the real story.  The local news is no different.

[ad]

I'm taking about the housing bubble in the  U.S.A. I bought my first condo in Las Vegas in 2009, and have since picked up 7 MORE condos. WTF? Am I crazy??? Before you think I'm retarded you need to read and learn, something most people don't seem to do. People listen to the news and gobble up all the BS they serve on a silver platter. Lucky for me I listen, then I start digging for information on my own. I don't really ever believe what people say until I can confirm it's 100% true.

Back to Vegas….

Now you're probably thinking Las Vegas is finished! Maybe even the whole US is going to be a 3rd world country. Are you insane, seriously? Get your head out of your butt. First off yes Las Vegas was the foreclosure capital of the whole U.S.A. There are many reasons it happened, but it boils down to greed, from mortgage brokers giving 100% financing to people who never should have gotten loans. When their mortgages were ready for renewal their interest rates jumped, then  they couldn't pay for the mortgages any longer. That screwed allot of people and then made house prices drop up to 75% in many cases. This housing drop screwed the 2nd waveof home owners. People who now owe more than there house is actually worth. Many condos I purchased where bought for up to $225,000 in 2006 and now they are worth $50,000!!! These people don't want to pay a mortgage for $225,000 or whatever there amount is owning if their condo is only worth $50,000. Would you?? So they walk away and put there house in a short sale.

Here is the thing most people I talk to don't get. All these people who end up selling their homes or getting foreclosed on end up renting!! Yes, you got it right. Las Vegas is full of people renting homes in the neighborhoods they once owned homes in. So investors like me come and buy condos and houses for 75% discounted rates and rent them to previous home owners. ALL my places are rented and they cash flow very, very well. So I have cash flow coming on properties I purchased in many cases for $50,000 – $60,000 and then rent them for between $725 to $845. Are you starting to understand how this is a great opportunity, if you have the cash and balls?

Did You know?

  1. Las Vegas was the fastest growing city in the whole U.S.A for the last 10 years!!! And 1000s of people are still moving there every year. It's still a growing city, so that means there is a need for housing. Yes unemployment is high, but it's coming down, this a good indicator things are shifting in the right direction.
  2. Vegas is still full of tourists, I know because I go to the strip and I can see first hand what's happening. Casino revenues are up about 5% from last year. This is another good indicator that things are going in the right direction. As the revenues continue to climb casinos will start hiring people to fill more positions because of consumer demand.  Then the big casino building projects will be underway, which leads to more construction jobs, hospitality jobs etc. It's all going to happen, the indicators are there.
  3. There are 1000s of investors buying in Las Vegas, some many in fact that there are multiple offers on houses and condos. I  was outbid on 3-4 places in the last 2 months because of multiple offers happening.
  4. The top out of country buyers are guess who? Canadians! With a strong dollar and strong economy, tons of Canadians are doing the same thing I am!
  5. Once the Canadian dollar looses more of its value compared to the USD, when I exchange my rent money from U.S to Canadian I will be make more because of the conversion rate.  I already am but the U.S.dollar  will get stronger, maybe not today or next week but it's going to happen.
  6. The prices are now so low that they can't even build for the price that the houses and condos are selling for! 

I have talked to lots of people about this because it comes up in conversations. If you buy 6 condos at $50,000 and rent them for $750= $4500 before expenses. After expenses if you bought the properties outright, then you are pocketing $500 a month per property roughly. 6×500=$3000 USD per month!!! Now once you exchange that US money into Canadian it gets even better! Right now if you have 4,500.00 USD =4,588.72 CAD. You make extra $88, it's not much but wait till the Canadian dollar drops even more….CHA CHING!

Compare To Vancouver

A condo can easily cost you $300,000 in Vancouver. I can get 6 condos in Las Vegas for the price I would get for one here in Vancouver. It makes a little more sense to buy in Vegas as opposed to here.

Right now is the perfect storm for Canadians to invest in the USA. Once these deals are gone, you will never see them again in our lifetime. This is basically a once in a lifetime opportunity. It's here now! But for how long can you buy 1200 sq ft 2 bedroom condos built 2003 and newer with attached garages for $50,000? You have the chance to make a difference in your life, something that you can look back on and say "That was the smartest investment I ever made!". But will you do it?  I did it and I get paid every month… Fear is your enemy, that little voice in your head isn't helping you it is HOLDING YOU BACK!

Why Las Vegas Over Phoenix?

The majority of Western Canadians are buying in Phoenix. I had a choice and I picked Vegas, but what is the difference and where is better to invest? There is way to more Vegas than the strip, stop being so narrow minded. Do you think everyone in Vegas lives on the strip, lol? Think again. Vegas is a city of 2,000,000 people, the population of Vancouver!

  1. Both cities have similar weather, with Vegas being about 3 celcius cooler.
  2. Both cities have over 300 days of sunshine every year.
  3. Both cities have tons of golf courses.
  4. Vegas has outdoors just like Phoenix if not better. Vegas has Red Rock Canyon, that is only 15 minutes away from the strip.  Truly amazing views there, it looks sort of like a mini Grand Canyon.
  5. Mount Charleston is located about 40 minutes away and it has skiing, horseback riding etc. It looks like Whistler!
  6. Ever hear of Lake Las Vegas? Another amazing place to visit 20 minutes from the strip.
  7. And then you have the actual Vegas Strip pretty cool in itself. More nightlife, restaurants and everything else.
  8. Flights are cheaper than Phoenix. I have gotten flights that are $100 round trip with taxes included, from Bellingham with Allegiant Airlines!
  9. Nevada has no personal income tax, I don't know if Arizona has that?
  10. You can drive to Los Angeles in 3 hours.
  11. I can drive to Vegas in 2 days, driving 10 hours per day. Phoenix takes 27 hours to drive to.

I'm not knocking Phoenix at all, I just never understood why all the Canadians went there. I guess they just followed the herd. Obviously Phoenix is a beautiful place, but I never understood the reasoning behind Phoenix over Las Vegas. Where I live the Canadians have bought as well, and are still doing so. And……. No, I don't live on the strip. I live 20 minutes away from the strip in the North West part of the city. You probably thought I lived on the strip, silly you! Like I said there is WAY MORE to Vegas than the damn strip!!  It's just a bonus that it's there.

Financing

Don't  even think about trying to get a mortgage in Vegas. The last thing they want to do is give out mortgage loans to anyone, especially people out of the country. You will either need to pay in cash or get a home equity loan and borrow against your house in Canada. You may be able to get a mortgage in Vegas, but Canadians who I have spoken to have tried with no luck. I never really researched getting loan because I never needed one.

The Process Of Buying Real Estate in Vegas

  • Contact a realtor and start getting listings emailed to you daily. You can then become familiar with prices, the different areas and what to expect in general. Prices will be a shock as first trust me. It takes getting used to see new condos going for $50,000 to $60,000!
  • Have a somewhat general idea of the type of property you want. Don't look at million dollar mansions if you only have a $75,000 home equity loan.
  • Get your financing in place before you go down. There is no point flying down to look at places if you don't have your financing worked, it's a complete waste of time for you and the realtor.
  • Transfer your Canadian money into US funds when the Canadian dollar is the strongest. This way you will get the absolute most for your Canadian money.
  • Bring a proof of funds. You will need a print out of your bank account showing you have the money to have the ability to buy the property your putting an offer on.
  • Plan a flight and see the places in person.
  • Start writing offers. You need to write many offers just to get 1 property. It's a pain in the ass to actually close deals because of many factors. Many times I will write offers and never here anything back ever from the other realtor. It's nuts. But, when you close on a condo for $50,000 it feels damn good! Even if you submit 10 offers and 3 are approved you can back out of the deals, so don't think you are obligated to close on 3 accepted offers. If you get 3 approved and only want one, then you can pick and choose which one you want the most. If you don't put offers on them someone else will and you may loose that place you want the most. It's not like Canada..
  • Look outside of the strip for condos. Look in the suburbs, it's much more peaceful, cheaper and never more than 20 minutes away from the action.

If you're interested in Vegas then shoot me an email. I bought in October 2009 so it's been 2 years of going there, so I can answer many questions from taxes, where to buy etc… Yes, I am still actively buying. It's hard not to buy when you buy a condo and it get rented in under 30 days. I makes me continue to keep on buying.

Do your own homework, don't take what I say at face value. Learn for yourself and see what makes sense to you. I've done all the home work for myself, because I don't like to rely on other people for information. It's better to learn as much as you can before you jump in. Once you have bought a $20,000 house in a shitty part of town, then you're stuck.  Do all your research before you pull the trigger, or you will be very sorry. I never made that mistake in Vegas, I did in Winnipeg years back. I learned my lesson the hard way, now I am overly cautious about where and what I buy.
