Picture this-you pull up and the sign says ”Lot for Sale - $50,000”.
Interested? This may not seem like a bad price for a lot until you discover
that the lot is actually 120 acres of rich, fertile land.
Very interested? Well, then imagine that you walk the lot and see just one
of numerous building sites with this view.
Merri and I and our hound dog just did this. Here we are on one of numerous
terrific building sites.
Then imagine learning that you can build a house like this one (being built
three miles down the road) for less than $50,000.
Merri and I won’t buy this particular site. We saw another even better
deal with a 200 mile view! My camera cannot do it justice.
We won’t buy that either but seeing these properties helped us spot
a distortion. There are some incredible bargains along Lake Cuicocha at this
time.
We won’t tour real estate on out upcoming Import Export course but we
will have some free time for delegates who want to view property like the above
or a simple house (below priced at $59,000) located near us.
Our courses help delegates in so many ways that I would like to share a few
ideas on how we might be able to help you as I let you see how others have
gained.
Delegates at our Import Export course April 23-30 should prepare to be exhausted.
We have a jam-packed schedule that takes us to markets and craftsmen all over
the countryside every day…but we are not all business.
We will have a free afternoon so you can look at real estate, return to meet
craftsmen or visit markets of special interests or relax at La Mirage Spa.
Treatments there are special. One of the treatments is a Shamanic Purification
Treatment: The Shamana possesses a great vision for medicines in the countryside
and in particular, for plants often used-mainly for healing purposes. La Mirage
Spa offers the healing powers of a female Shamana who has inherited years of
experience from her father a recognized Shaman in this region. The purification
room at La Mirage is oriented towards the established indigenous healing practices
of Body, Mind and Spirit. Taking these concepts into account, her methods blend
relaxation techniques using a float tank, the Shamanic Ritual and Aromatherapy
Spiritual Massage. Here she is treating a patient in the flower filled pool.
On the business side one powerful aspect of this course is you learn how to
market export products through publishing. You turn market costs in profits
centers. This really works as this note from a previous delegate confirms.
“Dear Gary and Merri,
“Without you and your wonderful writing class about six months ago, I would
not have been able to see my potential!! I THANK YOU BOTH! You told
me to write about what I know and I did. Thank you for all the encouragement.
“Starting today, we are taking orders and I wanted you to be the first
to know! I have some exciting news to share! I have just written my
first book and would very much appreciate your help.
“This book shares the 'insider secrets' I've learned in the past 30
years of catering wedding receptions. It can help a bride-to-be save
hundreds, maybe even thousand of dollars on her wedding. So, if you know anyone
who is planning a wedding, or anyone who knows someone who is planning
a wedding, please pass this message along.
“This book would make a great gift for any bride-to-be or even
the parents of the bride (especially if they're paying the bill!) Check
it out at SecretWeddingSavings.com I genuinely appreciate your helping
me spread the word! Thank you!!”
This delegate can now use her publication (which can make a profit in its
own right) to help sell bridal products she imports.
Our February course only touched on Import Export but numerous delegates
started making money right away as these readers shared:
“Hi Merri, We arrived home safely. The trip was good. We want to thank
you for the wonderful time we had in Ecuador. We learned a lot and our eyes
and hearts are opened. I feel alive and excited with all the wonderful opportunities.
All we have to do is act upon it and set some more plans in motion. I love
Ecuador, what a beautiful country and what an amazing people. Again our thanks!!!!!
The evening Jyske Bank had the cheese and wine reception, we ordered 5 bottles
of the Dragon’s Blood from a vendor outside the door. Thank you
again for your hospitality and willingness to share yourselves. Hanneke”
Hanneke who has a ballet school in California told us how when she arrived
back home one of her students had a bad blister and she used the Dragon’s
Blood (an all natural Amazonian herbal remedy). The pain went away immediately
and the healing was so fast that the student was back dancing next day. Hanneke
is going to export this for the dance industry!”
Here is another delegate who paid for her trip and more!
“Merri, David and I recently came to Ecuador for my birthday celebration
and to see you and Gary. The experience was filled with surprises from
soaking in the hot springs, shamanic healing, enjoying beautiful vistas,
and bartering in the market place.
“I surprised myself in the market place as I took in the vibrant colors,
the aromas of the ethnic foods, and laughter and music. As I walked about
I wanted to touch everything and feel the soft textures. Normally I am
reluctant to barter and often just browse the first time in a market place. But
here I was making my first purchase within five minutes. I bought a few
items for myself and gifts for my family.
“I enjoyed touching and looking at the objects I had purchased and began
to think of my many friends and I knew they would be saying, ‘I wish I
had one of those!’ The next day I told David that I wanted to go back
to the market place again but didn't tell him my motive. So back to the
market we went and I soon began buying larger quantities of things. David
looked at me and said "What are you going to do with all those shawls?" I
replied, "I'm going to sell them to my friends!"
“And so it is. We came home and sold enough to pay for two airline
tickets back to Ecuador. What a delightful surprise! Pam”
One of the great experiences about our courses is the international element.
At the last course we had delegates from the US, Canada, Germany, Finland,
New Zealand, England, The Netherlands and Ecuador. So you can imagine how interesting
the conversations around the breakfast, lunch and dinner tables are. Plus at
night delegates love to settle down in front of the fire at our juice bar.
Here is what this meant to delegates.
“Hi Merri and Gary, I have now returned to NZ after a few days on the
coast and Cuenca. I wanted to say many thanks for a most enjoyable and well-organized
course. I am not sure precisely where it will lead but I appreciated the way
you were able to get through a great deal of information with an easy
grace and humor and also manage to shepherd us all around to see the many interesting
things. Well done! I also enjoyed talking with the wide variety of delegates
about their stories and aims and am in contact with quite a few (in fact two
are heading to NZ shortly!). So all in all a thoroughly enjoyable time and
I hope to run across you at some time in the future. Kind regards to you both.
Alan from New Zealand.”
Our April Import
Export Expedition is the last 2006 course we will have in
Ecuador until November.
We hope you’ll join us at Meson de las Flores.
