Jamie McIntyre Review

I’ll start by telling you my position when I first heard about Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy. I was working for a small electronics company in Canberra, where it was my job to use a soldering iron to build circuit boards and order in resistors and other electronic bits when they ran out. I was on a reasonable salary, one that was about on par with full time retail work. I was able to save a little bit of money but it usually disappeared at Christmas time with enough left over so I could go to the coast for about a week and that was pretty much it.

I was just browsing the internet when I came across the Jamie McIntyre’s e-book “Things I Didn’t Learn At School But Wish I Had ”. The title sounded interesting, so I download it and read it. The book was easy to read and there was some really good advice on how to get started on the journey to becoming “financially intelligent”. There was a page in the back that mentioned that if you wanted to learn more that there was a course available. I thought well the advice so far has been ok, so why not see what else I could learn, so I went to their home page to see what they had on offer and it was heaps, then I got to the price tag $3995

I immediately thought “here we go, have a taste to get you hooked and then rip the money out of you” I was about to close the page when I got to the terms.

“The program comes with a 90 day 100% money back guarantee .”

So I called up to ask them about it, I can’t remember who I got on the phone, but the general gist of the conversation was that I could pay for part of the material, and reviewing the whole thing for 3 months, if I didn’t think that I could make at least 10 times what the course cost me then I’d send it back and get a full refund.

So I though I’d give it a shot, after all what did I have to loose?

Now for the review, what did I get?
•    I received 27 frigging DVDs that covered every possible way to make money. Whether it was property, the Internet, the stock market, even how to earn more or get a pay rise at work.
•    A check list of basic things to get started with
•    A Work book covering the strategies mentioned on the DVDs
•    Audio CDs that covered all the material on the DVDs
•    Seminar invites on all money making topics, to network with like minded people and to learn strategies first hand
•    5 years of support and assistance

Since I had no money to invest in the stock market and no way near enough for a deposit on a house, I started with how to get a pay rise. Three days after watching the DVD, I got up the courage to walk up to my boss and applied the strategies that were taught. To my absolute amazement I walked away 45 minutes later with a $10,000 pay rise.

I was incredibly happy as you could imagine, but I had a problem. The course is very comprehensive, if anything it was too comprehensive, it covered so much information that I was getting overwhelmed with ways to make money, and didn’t know what to do next.

So I decided to start from the beginning and work my way the DVDs. Probably one of my favourite sections of the course is the section in mind set. It never really occurred to me that there was more than just the strategies to make money, but there is more, a lot more. The mindset section is along the lines of; if you take a rich person and give them nothing, with in a few short years they would be back and successful again. On the flip side if you took a person who is poor and doesn’t have the proper mindset and gave them every thing, they would end up losing it with out the proper mindset. Jamie McIntyre teaches you the proper mindset.

18 months on I have now negotiated $25,000 in pay rises and bought my first house which has increased in value by over $60,000. I have also started using some stock market strategies that allow me to earn money with very little risk. While I’m not a millionaire, I am a lot more comfortable than what I was.

Now my advice to you reading this is to go and watch the free DVD, and/or read the ebook (which you can get from here ) they  explains heaps and they are free and full of excellent information, it will allow you to gauge if this course is right for you.

Step six is to use equity to your advantage. Rather than having more assets, convert them to cash flow. This is the only way that you will be able to increase what you get from what your assets are worth. Jamie McIntyre also recommends step seven which is to consider the use of your parents and grandparent’s equity and assets. Ask your parent’s if they will give you your inheritance early. That way you can be earning interest and conducting further investing on that money that you already own.

The final step in 7 ways to get access to money for investing invented by Jamie McIntyre and his 21st Century Academy is to use your superannuation (401k). Instead of fund managers or financial planners taking fees and commissions, manage it yourself and take total control of your future with much greater earning potential.

These steps will jumpstart your investment career. You may only be able to use a few of the idea mentioned above, but they will definitely help you on your way to becoming a financially independent.

The third strategy is tax minimization. Jamie McIntyre recommends such strategies as becoming a consultant rather than an employee in a company that you own, or taking advantage of tax benefits from investment properties. By investing with pre tax money, you are leveraging your earning potential.

Step four is to increase your income. Write down all the achievements that you have done over the past year and go ask you boss for a pay rise. If that is not good enough, then develop a new marketable skill. The more useful you are in your job the more you will get paid. It is also a good idea to consider what other income streams you could add to increase how much you bring in.

Step five is a very important step for 7 ways to get access to money for investing. This is an unusual idea, but it is a good one. Jamie McIntyre calls it the strategy of OPM, this stands for other people’s money. The basic principal is to borrow say $20,000 to invest, and then use the returns from the investment to pay off the loan.

Let’s say that you want to become a financially independent and want to start investing. However, you only have a small income and very little capital to work with. There is still hope for you! Jamie McIntyre with 21st Century Academy has come up with 7 ways to get access to money for investing.

This may seem obvious to you, but how much money are you actually saving from every pay check? The majority of people do not save any extra money outside of what their employers give them. Cut out what extra expenses you can to start saving any money you can.

The second way to get access to money for investing is to sell something. Anything that you can get rid of to bring in money that can be invested will be worth it. Hold a garage sale, or sell things over the Internet. This is one of the best and easiest ways to obtain money to start investing.
