GENE DYSON’s Story ED Melton Award 2013 page 3
It amazes me how many investors don’t plan for their future. “An idiot with a plan is 100 times more likely to be successful than a genius without a plan.”

Dennis Erhard Are you ready for what’s I spent 1 day in early December looking at what my companies had accomplished during 2013. Even more important my real estate CPA was present for 2 hours of this meeting of the minds.
Mentor Program
Why did we do this? After 90 minutes he said, “Go spend a lot of money before the 31st or Uncle Sam will be deep into my pockets.”

As a trained investor my first reaction was spend money! NO WAY! Not going to happen! It didn’t take long to figure out I was going to spend . New trucks, new equipment, doesn’t matter, just do it before 31st . The lesson I learned is I’m usually not the smartest person in the room! Year to step is always tax laws change in January. Don’t miss our very own Mike Grinnan CPA specializing in Real Estate. He’ll teach you how to spend your money and when not to. “It’s not how much money you make, it’s how much you get to keep that matters.”
