It’s been a while since I posted to my City Scoop blog. I’ve been so busy with business endeavors that are complimenting or separate from real estate investing. Right now I am launching a small business advertising firm and it has taken me away from full time investing. It brings me to the topic of investing part time or full time.
When I talk to people about how I got started in real estate investing they often assume they don’t have time… The fact is that when I got started I was waiting tables 6 nights a week in the restaurant business. The people that find success in real estate often start part time while they work a full time job. The important thing is to get started somewhere. The key is to build a base, learn everything you can and create some contact and mentors. By no means do you need this to be a full time endeavor at first.
All of these are the reason why you should attend one of our free events. You will have an opportunity to meet others experienced and novice that want to help you succeed. You will also gain knowledge that will empower you to take action on those first deals. Finally we can show hundreds of resources to create capital for your projects. One of the biggest misconceptions is having the money to get started. Right now I can introduce you to over 300 non traditional lenders that want to lend you money for your real estate deals!

Book Review 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People
December 8, 2009
Subscribe Via RSS | Free Added Value | Free Event | Email Us | 925-285-2172
7 Habits Of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey is a MUST READ for anyone that would like to really study in detail the small daily habits that almost all successful business people and Entrepreneurs utilize on a daily basis. It is very easy to spell out a list of habits, however Stephen Covey really dives into all seven habits and opens some great insights and ideas on exactly what each habit entails and how to get started. This is the type of book that you don’t want to just skim through but you really should study each chapter. I found myself reading some chapters twice before moving on.
How this book impacted my life is in my daily life I would catch myself in cycles and habits that were not serving using Stephen Coveys concepts. I found that when I caught myself in a habit that does not serve me it would be much easier to break the cycle and move to a habit that would ultimately move me forward in my personal life or business. Very briefly the seven habits are.
- Be Proactive
- Begin With the End In Mind
- Put First Things First
- Think Win/Win
- Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
- Synergize
- Sharpen the Saw
If you are looking for a way to create the habits that will lead you to success not just in business but in your daily personal life this book is a must read for anyone seeking to grow.

Four Big Reasons YOU Need to Own a Business | Creating Multiple Income Streams
December 4, 2009
Subscribe Via RSS | Come to an Event | Email Us | 925-285-2172
Whether or not you have a great job there are tons of reasons everyone should own and build a business. Do you really want to spend 40 years working to make your CEO rich and at the age of 65 be tossed to the retirement world. It truly is sad that only 1% of today’s 65 year olds retire wealthy. Whether or not you build that business from home in your spare time or go full time right away the benefits of time freedom is really what everybody wants. I speak to tons of people who claim they just don’t have time because of their family or work schedule. I often wonder what that must feel like? Donald Trump has the same 24 hours in a day as you and I do, the main difference is the mind set and activities that set great business people like Donald Trump and Warren Buffet apart from the masses that spend so much of their time making other people rich. The fact is that if you desire more time freedom and options to really spend your life doing the things you love, you will need to achieve financial freedom. Money is absolutely not everything however it sure does give you options. Below are four of the main things to look for in a business that will help you achieve your time freedom.
- A Need - Most important there must be a real need for your products or services. There are tons of “get rich quick schemes” on the internet and late night television that sound too good to be true and promise millions with little or no effort. Let me tell you if you put forth no effort you will not receive much of a reward. When you look at business idea you must first ask “Who will benefit from what I am selling?” If it is not something you yourself would buy and use then it is probably a bad idea to try and sell it to others.
- Leverage – If you look at the Forbes 500 richest individuals they are ALL business owners of some kind. One of the main things that a successful business will have besides a real need for it’s product or services is leverage. As a worker or an employee you are being leveraged. What if you could decide to go on vacation and when you came home you still had the same check in your account as if you continued working? The power of a leveraged business is truly the route to financial freedom. In business the two main forms of leverage are people and time. Ask yourself who is leveraging you?
- Duplication – Just about every example of a million dollar company out there uses duplication. Look at McDonalds. Do you go to a McDonalds because they have the best cheeseburgers in the world? NO WAY most people go there because they know that no matter what McDonalds you go into in the entire world you will get for the most part exactly what you were expecting. McDonalds and thousands of other successful companies found a need for a product and developed a system to duplicate it almost exactly almost all the time. People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to leverage the McDonalds system through franchising. If you could leverage someone else’s great idea and duplicate it over and over again how much money could you make?
- Residual Passive Income – a very important part of a achieving financial freedom is receiving residual passive income. This is when you do something once and it pays you over and over and over for the rest of your life. They do it in the Insurance Industry, the Direct Sales industry and Real Estate. Barrack Obama wrote his memoir “The Audacity Of Hope” and he will get paid every time that book sells a copy for the rest of his life. It might not be much but what if you sell a lot of books? Just imagine if you did something everyday that increased your monthly income by $10 a day on a residual basis. At the end of one year you would be making $3,650 per month. What if you continued to do that same duplicated idea for 10 years? You would be making $36,500 every single month! Would a passive residual income like that allow you to quit working for somebody else?
Those are the four main reasons that everyone should build a business. As a business leader and successful real estate investor in the California Bay Area I can show you several methods to start doing exactly what is described above. When I started out in business I was working part time serving tables and bartending at a local restaurant however since 2003 I have learned many of the methods millionaires use in order to create the success deserved by everyone. The most rewarding part is passing the knowledge on and helping those who are willing to listen and take action create massive success in business.

Book Review | The Game Of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn
December 2, 2009
Subscribe Via RSS | Come to an Event | Email Us | 925-285-2172
The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn was recommended to me by one of the most influential and life changing business coaches I’ve had the pleasure of learning from about two years ago. I was told this book would change my life and it truly has. It is less than 100 pages and was written in the 1940s however the message that this book delivers is one of true inspiration. Another great thing about The Game Of Life is it is the type of book your can simply pick up for 10 to 20 minutes and feel ready to take on the world by just reading a few pages. Since I was introduced to it I have read it several times and each time I pick up a new nugget or “Ah Ha” moment.
In fact if you would like I would be happy to provide you a FREE copy of this book! All you have to do is send me an Email or message me on one of my social networks and I would be happy to send you a copy.

Jason Wheeler’s Reading List for Success and Personal Development
December 2, 2009
Subscribe Via RSS | Come to an Event | Email Us | 925-285-2172
A good friend of mine told me that “Readers are Succeeders” It is very important that you feed your brain positive energy every single day! One way that I do that is to spend AT LEAST a half hour a day reading material on self development and success EVERYDAY. You would be surprised how the daily communications from the mainstream media and blockbuster movies feed your subconscious horrible negative messages every day. Now it may not be realistic to ask you to stop watching TV or Movies altogether, heck I love a good movie and I think Conan O’brien is a riot. However you have to balance things off with some truly positive “Brain food” I highly recommend spending a bit of time everyday with a good positive book on self development. If you develop this habit you will be surprised at the changes that happen to your subconscious and what you will begin to attract!
I’ve decided to start a reading list and offer my brief reviews. I hope every now and again you will find a good recommendation. Please feel free to leave a comment on this page on books that have impacted your life and helped you. Feel free to leave a link to your website too.
I will be adding to this list and this page on a consistent basis so don’t worry that there are only two books so far. Subscribe to this page and get updates when I post them.
