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.

Applicant Priority
Eligible participants who have lived or worked in the City of Roseville for a minimum of one year prior to applying for assistance under this Program will receive first priority for assistance.
1. Provide minimum of a 1% down payment, the source of which cannot be a loan.
2. Prior to being accepted as a program participant (but not required prior to application for the program), provide Sacramento Home Loan Counseling Center’s Home Buyer’s Seminar certificate of completion for all three classes (Home Buying Process, Budgeting, Home Maintenance/Good Neighbor), for a total of 8 hours of class training.For additional information contact the Home Loan Counseling Center at 916-646-2002, visit their website for current class schedules www.hlcc.net or contact the City’s Housing Division office at 916-774-5270.
The home selected must be located within the City limits of Roseville.The home must be owner-occupied or a vacant unit.For sale rental property occupied by a current tenant is not eligible for the Down Payment Assistance Program, unless the current tenant will also be the home purchaser.
Type and Condition of Home
Single-family dwellings, condominiums, half-plexes, and manufactured homes are eligible for purchase under the Program.Any dwelling purchased with assistance under this Program must be on a permanent foundation and must be of appropriate size and number of bedrooms for the number of persons in the purchaser’s household.
The City will inspect the dwelling for compliance with Housing Quality Standards (basic health and safety requirements).Any violation of these standards must be corrected prior to City’s final approval of down payment assistance for the unit. (NOTE:Exceptions can be made if homebuyer is using 203(k) financing, for the first mortgage. 203(k) is a federally funded program which allows the homebuyer to finance both a mortgage and a rehabilitation loan into one primary loan.)
Purchase Price
The purchase price of the house cannot exceed $441,750, which is 95% of the median purchase price for the City of Roseville. The individual participant’s maximum purchase price will be calculated based on the maximum first mortgage amount and City assistance (City assistance will be based on purchaser’s need and available housing stock for sale).
The City’s 0% loan is a deferred, shared appreciation loan, 30-year loan, secured by a promissory note and deed of trust. No payments are required as long as the home remains the primary residence of the qualified low income, first time home buyer. The loan for the first mortgage must be a 30-year fixed term loan. No temporary interest rate buy downs will be permitted.
Recapture of Investment
Shared Appreciation: The City will share a portion of the net profit the purchaser would make in subsequent sales, based on the original 2nd mortgage value divided by the market value of the home. The note will be due and payable upon sale of the property, change of use, unapproved refinance or change of ownership.
The City of Roseville’s Housing staff will monitor annually to insure the home has remained the program participant’s primary residence. This monitoring may require contacting the homeowner annually.
Fill out an interest form (see below). When we have received your interest form you will receive an application packet. You will need to provide a prequalification letter of your loan eligibility with your completed application.
Once we have received your completed application and prequalification letter, your name will be placed on a waiting list.
