Student Success Stories

I just wanted to say hello and let you know how I'm getting on.  Since that one flat I bought while you were coaching me, I now own 4 of my own, co-own 4 with a business partner, own 2 houses which are about to be sold, and have now set up a new business in which I raise money with investors and the banks and we renovate and sell on.  The properties I now work with are large houses or flats in very nice locations in London, UK.  We also buy properties for other people and renovate them in the same way.

I love my job!  I still think of our conversations and how much you helped me and wanted to thank you again for all your help.  I probably own over £2.5 million in property now and it's continually rising.  I will take a salary this year--didn't do that before but that's because I did give up my day job to do this and just downloaded money and paid bills but now it's salary year. You can see my website below.

As of today first year sales totaled 130K! Not bad for a bamboo bathrobe company in its first year. In late October we received a call from Hyatt Hotels on Sunset from the head of housekeeping requesting information and samples of our robes. They reviewed our products and put in our largest order to date – 1625 robes – almost a 60K invoice. However, I did not have that many robes in stock and could only provide a little over 200 – which was still an $8000 – invoice – not bad. Our hope is that they still plan to purchase the entire amount from us – and coincidentally Hyatt Hotels Spa’s are called Pure Spa. Could be a good match for us – worldwide. If we could have secured all 1600 robes and monies from them our gross sales total for the year would have been closer to 180K!

In brief I feel it has been a good year for Pure Bamboo – I feel the name and branding are strong and easy to remember the URL is also perfect and easy for people to find. I feel we have identified a strong market and I know we are the first company to be actively marketing to the hotel, resort and spa industry. First mover – major tactical advantage – my hope is that we can get well enough established so we can become a major force and player on the market.

Again thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Our experience with Prosper has provided us with essential knowledge to better handle our finances. Prior to our enrollment in the “Financial Planning” course we were living as typical college graduates: working full-time jobs with a modest amount of debt from school and living expenses. Our debt payments were always on time and above the minimum balance, however, we just couldn’t seem to pay it off in full. In addition, as we headed into our mid-20s we recognized the need to start investing and planning for our future. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the means or knowledge to do so.

Then, a few months ago, an unexpected change in family circumstances provided us with a modest amount of money. Those funds, coupled with your coaching and guidance, enabled us to take on the mentality that debt elimination was our top priority. We learned the importance of setting specific financial goals, “managing” vs. “tracking” our expenses and the basics of investing.

In addition, the knowledge we acquired enabled us to help our families. The key concepts we shared with them were well received. Their progress has steadily increased as they take responsibility for their financial decisions. Much to our delight, budgets have been created and expenses are being tracked.

On February 25, we became officially debt free. However, this achievement is just the beginning for us. We are thrilled to begin this new chapter in our lives. The funds formerly set aside for creditors will now be used to build our own wealth. We are eager to increase our savings, begin retirement funds and venture into investments.

Prosper’s “Financial Planning” course removed the fear and trepidation that came with taking control of our financial future. We are grateful for the wealth of information and resources that have been available to us. We are prepared to continue our success with the valuable knowledge we’ve acquired. Thank you!

I have had successes in two major areas during my coaching sessions. I have earned almost $8,000 on eBay and Craigslist, and learned a great deal about marketing on the internet with the first step of getting a website almost completed coming along well. This has been a tremendous confidence builder and has given me a great deal of incentive to continue the learning and the work. This is a new business area for me so I feel that I have made a great amount of progress.

My early goals included earning back the amount of the program before finishing coaching sessions and that was quite easily achieved. I also have a good and increasing understanding of internet marketing and sales.

In the next three months I will have my website rolling along with expected earnings of about $5,000 per month. This will be in addition to my sales on eBay and Craigslist as I have also been working on earning sales via resales of e-books, and items found on affiliate sites. This is a particularly exciting aspect and I look forward to also continuing to listen to recorded classes at Prosper. These are an excellent portion of the program and I highly recommend that students not miss out on their value and teaching. Longer term, I plan to have a retirement income that will significantly increase my existing pension.

I will travel, have extra capital for shopping and hosting friends that come to visit. These are expected to mean that I will retire earlier, perhaps in as little as 5 years vs. the previously planned 10 to 15!!

I will keep in touch with my mentors over the long term as their support and knowledge will continue to be very important in my business and life. Other valuable aspects of the personal mentoring are that these areas of new learning are very exciting and would not have come to be of so much value to me in this short period without the assistance and especially the responsibility and commitment to the program that comes with having invested in the mentoring.

The ability to earn a tremendous income without a great deal of time working is exciting and certainly would not have even been on my radar screen without this investment. While we all have to work to make this work, it is more than returned in the learning and in the additional income streams. I highly recommend this program and mentoring to anyone looking for very rapid changes in their life with high rates of return! Thanks to both my mentors, Nate and Dan.

The last couple “end of year” months have been extremely action packed. First I wanted to say thank you for all your help and guidance you have provided this year for Pure Bamboo. I can honestly say we would not be where we are without your insightful advice. Thank you. I wanted to write you to share with you my year in review as I think you may find it interesting and I know it will be helpful for me. But before I begin I wanted to let you know I’ve decided not to pursue the reality game show project. While I think it is a viable and innovative idea and would be a great marketing avenue for Robert Allen, as you pointed out it’s the time and energy that it takes to put something like that together. Both of which I have little of. Thank you for your offer to fun it by him, perhaps it is a project best left for another time.

As of today first year sales totaled 130K! Not bad for a bamboo bathrobe company in its first year. In late October we received a call from Hyatt Hotels on Sunset from the head of housekeeping requesting information and samples of our robes. They reviewed our products and put in our largest order to date – 1625 robes – almost a 60K invoice. However, I did not have that many robes in stock and could only provide a little over 200 – which was still an $8000 – invoice – not bad. Our hope is that they still plan to purchase the entire amount from us – and coincidentally Hyatt Hotels Spa’s are called Pure Spa. Could be a good match for us – worldwide. If we could have secured all 1600 robes and monies from them our gross sales total for the year would have been closer to 180K!

Additional highlights include: working with Virgin Mobile and having the towels delivered to Richard Branson at an eco event in New Jersey, interest and hopefully a purchase by BP gas stations, Having the robes presented in two eco fashion shows, Landing the client of Glen Ivy – and a sale of 1000 robes and year contract for them to purchase the robes.

The ISPA convention we attended in Florida enabled us to gain access to high level corporate executives for the Ritz Carton, Four Seasons and Canyon Ranch among others. At present we are in talks with and all companies have samples of our products for review. We are hopeful and confident that at least some of these deals will come through. There are several other companies equally as large if not larger that are also interested in the robes, towels, and sheets all of which have product in front of their boards for review.

The Price of Bamboo is increasing as are the number of competitors on the market – if you go online now and type in Bamboo clothes or fabric – soooo many more internet companies are popping up – yet none to date with the business model of focusing just on Spa and resorts – actually it seems there are few companies that sell bathrobes and towels to Spas and resorts – the largest has only been around for 7 years or so and none of the main well known companies in this field are going green. At least not to my knowledge – ironically, idealistically this is both a blessing and a curse – good because of the marketing advantage that provides Pure Bamboo bad for the environment over all. One of the things I’m most proud of implementing is our Rebate and Recycle program in which our clients have an incentive to return our used bathrobes for a 5% of purchase price rebate toward the purchase of the same item – once the bathrobes have worn out – they return them to us and we’ll recycle them – no one else is doing this and companies are taking notice.

In some of our first conversations you mentioned having access to several suppliers for the bathrobes and towels in case one stopped producing. On this front I have been successful as well. I have been talking with two investors who are interested in working with and investing in Pure Bamboo. They have contacts in China and have now found 3 factories that can supply the robes and towels. One of the investors is from the Philippines and has a garment factory over there which could produce smaller runs for us. This also means we could become a private labeler for other companies seeking to make bamboo products. He has found three factories all of which can make the robes at a reduced cost. As for the quality of the product that is the next step to see what these factories can do. I’m asking for an investment of 150K from them. We’ll see how it plays out. I also have names and numbers of other contacts for bamboo fabric in China so if it does not work out with them I can pursue other means. I really see this as the next major step for being able to take the company to the next level – we have to reduce manufacturing costs so we can increase profits and market share. However, in order to do this and when additional large orders come through – it would be good to have investors to turn to for loans for the company as cash flow can or will be a significant problem in the year to come.

On another front we have made significant inroads with a “green” spa consulting company. They like us and want to work with us and have over 100 companies they are working with at present – They’ve already given us some leads and referrals over the last two months since our meeting. I’m not sure how compensation can or should work for them if at all. They are called Bluspasinc.com – Doug Chambers the head of Blu Spa’s is a straight shooter no nonsense type of guy that I really like. He formally was a corporate attorney and transferred that skill to consulting for hotels and resorts to help them go green. My goal is to work more closely with him in the year to come and possibly have him on our board of advisors. In addition to Blu Spa – there are a couple other Spa Consultants we are in talks with – each of these could be extremely lucrative.

I’ve still not been able to make any headway with Nordstrom’s or Fred Segal and this is frustrating cause I know we would be a good match for them. Furthermore I feel it is only a matter of time before these stores pick up a bamboo robe from someone else – at present finding bamboo towels is relatively easy but no one is really touting the robe. This is a much more “feel good” product than a bamboo towel and I find it to be a very easy sell. So fingers crossed for entrance into this market.

In brief I feel it has been a good year for Pure Bamboo – I feel the name and branding are strong and easy to remember the URL is also perfect and easy for people to find. I feel we have identified a strong market and I know we are the first company to be actively marketing to the hotel, resort and spa industry. First mover – major tactical advantage – my hope is that we can get well enough established so we can become a major force and player on the market.

Again thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Using various techniques taught by my coach such as candlestick charts, indicators, and stock screeners my portfolio value was $16,400 and in 2 months time value was $205,925.

I would buy calls 2-3 strike prices out-of-the-money and hold till they were close to in-the-money and sell. Then just do it all over again.  This has tremendous potential to build wealth.

I've done 58 trades this year....51 are plus money $78,000 and my 7 minuses were around $11,000. I've been on a roll for the past 2 1/2 months...I've had 31 trades in a row that were on the plus side.  I have 7 trades I have bought this week but haven't sold them yet. So I'm getting better each day.

You told me to keep in touch so I hope you do not mind me sharing more success with options!!!  I think I am still shaking...I am not joking.  It's almost scary.  I do not have a crystal ball, but when you are right, the rewards are sweet.  I am so blown away.  My two successes have to do with General Motors and Exxon Mobil.  I had these contracts a while ago so it seemed like they were just going to expire worthless.  Yet I had gauged the market correctly a while ago and just had to be patient.  GM stock plummeted and when I finally closed the contract it represented a growth of 63.2%.

I have you know I got out before the stock dropped 31%.  I was more patient with XOM (Exxon Mobil).  Crude oil has been dropping.  Exxon Mobil dropped dramatically with the -670 drop in the DJIA.  Today the stock fell further and when I closed the contract it represented a growth of (are you sitting down???), 851%!!!!

I looked at my Options Xpress account balance and nearly fell off my chair.  Are you kidding??  When I saw the contract on Exxon Mobil, I could see why.  I got out...do not want to be too greedy.  Take your profits when you so fortunate and get out.

I do not share this to brag.  I may be slightly more advanced that the average investor but by no means, an experienced expert.  Again, I credit my success to my mentors.  

Let stories like this serve as a reminder to you that what you are doing and the time you devote to Prosper makes a difference.  I have my own company and am having some success in the market at a time when much of the country is in economic crisis.

Our family signed up for the TDIW system because we were unhappy with our financial situation. We were living from check to check and dependent upon credit cards for emergencies. As the parents of one child and a desire to have another, we decided it was time for us to take control of our finances and we believed that the TDIW system would help us.

We believed that our strongest chance for success would be to enroll in the coaching program to help give us accountability.  I am please to report that a mere two months into the program has proven successful for our family. We have begun tracking our expenses and questioning the items that we spend money on. We are consistently eliminating recurring, unnecessary expenses from our lives in order to free up cash flow to pay down debt and reduce our dependence upon credit cards.

Below are the successes that we attribute to the TDIW program, you as our coach, and our commitment to our family:

• Increasing our net worth by $15K in two months (our net worth was negative when we started and we now have a positive net worth!)
• Paying off our student loans
• Increasing our cash flow and building an accelerator margin
• Getting rid of our credit cards

Our debt-free date is June 2013 and we not only believe that this is an attainable goal for us, but it is our motivation to continue on our path to financial freedom.  We are also very pleased to share that we are expecting our 2nd child and as a result of joining this program, the black cloud of financial woe looming over our heads is dissipating.

Q: How has the coaching program positively affected your life?

A: "The coaching program was the best foundation to get us on the road to success.  Without it, I believe we would still be spiraling out of financial control."
