Welcome to the Palm Beach Wealth Builders Club.
My name is Tim Mittelstaedt. I am the managing editor of The Palm Beach Letter. And like you, I am not yet wealthy. But I intend to be.
Allow me to explain.
Less than a year ago, I was earning $17 per hour (about $35,000 per year) as the director of operations for a small chain of frozen yogurt shops.
I own a house, or should I say, the bank owns my house, because I am more than $50,000 underwater on my mortgage.
And I don’t have much in the way of savings.
I have two young daughters, and my wife is pregnant with a third child. So I’m motivated to acquire wealth quickly.
I was one of the first subscribers to The Palm Beach Letter. I had read dozens of investment letters and followed Mark and Tom’s newsletters and writings over the years, as well. I knew instantly that when Mark and Tom teamed up to start The Palm Beach Letter, theirs would be different. I loved the idea that they were committed not just to giving me good stock picks but to actually making me wealthier each and every year.
After six months of reading The Palm Beach Letter, I emailed Mark and Tom, begging them to hire me. I had editorial experience that I could contribute. In return, I just wanted to get as close to them as I could.
They hired me! That changed my life. Since then, I’ve been putting all their advice to work for me, and it’s been making a big difference. My net worth, for the first time in my life, is growing every month.
I’m not writing to gloat about my own experience but to tell you that I am going to be very much involved with the Wealth Builders Club every step of the way. After all the months of working on the club, talking with Mark and Tom about how we could help PBL subscribers really acquire financial independence in less than 10 years (Mark says to plan on seven years), they called me in and told me they wanted me to be the club membership liaison.
The reason was logical. Mark and Tom are already wealthy. They wanted you to have contact with someone from the PBL staff who is “not yet wealthy” but determined to be wealthy.
I can’t tell you how excited I am about this opportunity. Just think about it. We are going to get wealthy together. And not by taking crazy risks that never pan out in the real world, but by following the path that Mark and Tom took to acquire wealth themselves.
So... welcome to the club!
What is the Palm Beach Wealth Builders Club?
Very simply, the club is a place where Palm Beach Letter subscribers work together to achieve financial independence.
The road to wealth is not a short one. As I said, it will take a few years. But you will see the results every month and every year. Together, we will be increasing our net worth as we go.
Your first year of the program will be exciting and ambitious. Mark and Tom have created a program that will challenge you. (I can tell you—it challenged me.) But I’ve done everything they asked, and I feel like I’ve already become a different person.
One of the key things you are about to experience is a completely different way of understanding wealth and how to achieve it. I’ve read almost every best-selling get-rich book written, and I can tell you that none of them ever gave me the confidence that I have now.
I believe you will have the same experience I’ve had in the next two weeks. And then you will be ready to dig in and get to the serious process of getting richer.
Every week after the initial two-week crash course in reinventing yourself, we’ll give you a lesson from Mark in building wealth.
It will crystallize truths about wealth that you’ve always sort of known but never really put into action. And those revelations will be accompanied by additional guides and blueprints that will allow you to take very specific actions one step at a time.
As a fellow “not-yet wealthy” Palm Beach Letter fan, I’m going to share my experiences, successes, and failures with you (and I hope you will do the same with me).
The Next Step...
Over the next seven days, Mark is going to send you an essay every day.
As I said, I have already read them. And I have to warn you. They may trigger a powerful emotional response. They will challenge your beliefs about wealth. They will force you to be honest about your own past decisions. And they will push you. But I hope you will see in them what I see in Mark when he talks to me: that he is honestly and enthusiastically committed to helping you achieve your goals.
So please, I urge you, read these early essays with an open mind and take the time to absorb the ideas Mark is talking about. Some of the most important lessons I learned in reading these seem obvious to me now. But they didn’t before I read them. I had to sit back and think about my past actions in an honest way. And when I did I realized I was making some very self-destructive choices.
At the end of the first week, Mark will ask you for a commitment—a promise to yourself and to your fellow club members to do what it takes to achieve financial independence (I’ve made this commitment too).
11 Secrets Every Wealth Builder Must Know
Next, you’ll also receive a new e-book we’ve published exclusively for club members. Mark wrote it. Its title is 11 Secrets Every Wealth Builder Must Know, and it contains Mark's entire wealth-building philosophy. Every time I read any of these essays (and I've read them each at least 10 times already), I learn or glean some new bit of information.
So please read it. If you somehow miss it, you can download the e-book here.
What's Next?
After you've read the e-book, you will have the mindset, the commitment, and the fundamental knowledge you need to continue with the rest of our programs.
So far we have identified eight distinct wealth-building programs for the club. Some are teaching programs, some are investment advisories, some are financial recovery and development courses, and some are individual reports, manuals, and books.
And if you're like me, you're probably extremely eager to get started building wealth. So after going through Mark’s seven essays and the e-book, here's what we have planned for you...
Right now each mini-program has its own schedule. Mark will be writing the first five of these.
1.
We're calling the first series "The Extra Income Project." This is a brand-new, unique program designed to help you create a second or even a third stream of income. As Mark has explained many times, "There is no faster or surer way to become wealthy than by creating extra income and allocating it toward one's investments."
This program will consist of two parts. The first part will be a series of essays on Mark's favorite extra-income opportunities. These will include ideas for making extra income from your current career, plus many great ideas for accessing extra income from side businesses, freelancing, investment "jobs," and so on.
The second part will be a series of companion reports and manuals that will explain just what you need to do to initiate any of these extra-income streams. Industry experts will author these reports and manuals that Mark recommends. In my opinion, this is the most important series of the entire club.
2.
We’re calling the second series of lessons "Rental Real Estate 101." As you may remember from reading previous essays in The Palm Beach Letter, the largest portion of Mark's very substantial wealth has come from investing in rental real estate. Mark is convinced that this is best time to buy rental property in his 30-plus years investing. I'm very excited to get started with this program, because I've wanted to invest in rental real estate since I graduated from high school in 1999.
3.
We're going to call the third series "Retire Next Year." We developed this program after we learned from a survey we recently sent out that 66% of Palm Beach Letter subscribers want to retire in fewer than seven years—yet aren't financially ready to do so.
As a consultant to International Living for 20 years, Mark knows dozens of ways you can enjoy a happy, rich, and fulfilling retirement in beautiful places around the world and even in the United States. Like the Extra Income Project, this program will have two parts: Mark's essays and a series of "how to" manuals or blueprints, if you will, on how to replicate these exact lifestyles anywhere in the world.
4.
We’ll call the fourth series "Living Rich." This is one of Mark's pet projects. It is not about adding income or investing, but it's about living richly on the income you currently have.
Mark is always telling the PBL staff and me that living rich has very little to do with how much money you make or how many millions you've socked away in brokerage accounts.
In a series of essays, Mark will tell you about how to enrich every aspect of your life, from the house you live in to the car you drive, to the vacations you take, and so on.
5.
We’re titling the fifth series "How to Start a Million-Dollar Business for $25,000." This will contain all of Mark's best ideas about entrepreneurship from the 2,500 essays he wrote at Early to Rise and his six best-selling books on entrepreneurship, business management, and marketing.
Tom and I will be responsible for delivering three additional programs. Each of these came out of the many discussions we had about what a not-yet-wealthy person needed to become wealthy in seven years or fewer.
6.
We’re calling the sixth series "Income for Life System." You've never heard of this system. Wall Street has kept its powerful strategies hidden from the mainstream public, even though it has put billions of dollars into it. It's a vehicle that's been around for 200 years– longer than anything Wall Street has invented.
The companies that help administer the Income for Life System are so safe they've paid dividends upward of 150 years in a row—through every recession, depression, world war, or crisis our world has faced. Best of all, your money grows tax-free AND you can take it out and use it tax-free. Tom and I are going to teach you how to set up and use this system to create a lifetime of income.
7.
The seventh program is very exciting. It is a unique investment portfolio that is tailor-made for the not-yet-wealthy investor. Each of the investments we recommend will be stocks that you can buy for $100-200 each. We will keep only $1,000 in total at play in 10 stocks at anytime. But every stock in the portfolio will be one that Tom and his team have chosen because of its immense upside potential.
We don’t intend this portfolio to be a substitute for the Performance Portfolio, which you already receive as part of your Palm Beach Letter subscription. Its purpose is to satisfy the urge you may have to swing for the fences and hit grand slams. Some of these stocks may not make it. But if only a few of them do, we will all be very happy. We are calling this the Palm Beach Lottery Portfolio.
8.
The final and eighth program will be "The 12-Month Credit Score Repair and Financial Makeover." If you have read the several short essays Mark has written on the subject this year, you know that we are very concerned that a good number of Palm Beach Letter subscribers are in financial jeopardy due to the 2008 real estate collapse and economic slowdown since.
Debt is something we generally don't like at The Palm Beach Letter, but if you are in financial distress with your debts, you need quick and serious help immediately. We have surveyed the "credit repair" industry and have discovered, to our dismay, that most of the programs out there are not worth the paper they are printed on. We have identified a true expert in this field, and he is helping us put together this very valuable program.
As you can see, we have lots of material to cover. And it seems every week that Mark, Tom, and I meet, we come up with new topics and ideas we want to teach club members.
So you can be sure we're going to continue to add to this list.
Publishing Schedule
You can expect to get two or three communications from the Palm Beach Wealth Builders Club every week.
Every week you'll get an essay (and sometimes a report or manual) from Mark on one of the series he'll be covering. For example, soon you'll get the first installment of The Extra Income Project. I can promise you that this is a lucrative income opportunity you don't want to miss.
Then, each week thereafter, we're going to cycle through each of Mark's other series. You'll get the first installment of the Rental Real Estate 101 lessons the following week. Then, the next week after that, you'll get the first installment of the Retire Next Year and so on.
You will also get a communication from Tom and me each week that will cover the four topics that we are responsible for. We’re going to start with the Income for Life series. When we’re done with that, we’ll move on to the other programs, The 12-Month Credit Score Repair and Financial Makeover and The Palm Beach Lottery Portfolio.
Finally, each week you'll get an update from me, your liaison. You'll be able to recognize these emails; they'll have the subject line "Tim's Update #1" or "Tim's Update #2."
In these updates, I'll recap what Mark has taught us about that week, give you any relevant announcements, and answer the most frequently asked questions. We’ll post the most common questions in the green “FAQ” tab to the left. And from time to time, I'll update you on my own wealth-building journey in these updates.
The Battle for Your Inbox Attention
If you are anything like me, you get a lot of emails. Some of them get your attention. But most don’t.
For this club to work for you, we need your attention. Without it, we can’t fulfill our promise to help you achieve financial independence.
So please... when you get an email from us, open it and read it. We won’t waste your time. We are dedicated to increasing your wealth.
Reading these emails (and doing the tasks) is a small commitment on your behalf. But by keeping your side of the bargain, we’ll be able to do our part... but only if you stick to the plan.
The Palm Beach Wealth Builders Club is an email-only program. We do not archive the weekly online the essays and lessons you’ll receive on the website—there’d simply be too many. So please don’t delete any of these emails. Save them, because you will likely want to go back to them as your knowledge and confidence grow.
Create a special mailbox folder for your “Palm Beach Wealth Builder Club” emails.
Each time you get an email from the club:
1. Read it
2. If there is a task for you to do, do it
3. Then move the email to your special folder for safekeeping.
And since this is an email only program, we’re going to help you keep track of each email.
Every email we send you will come from the sender “Palm Beach Wealth Builders Club.” We use our distinctive logo and graphic design (like at the top of this page), so you won’t confuse us with anyone else.
And each subject line will have the name of the program and a number next to it. For example, the first essay you’ll receive will be “Extra Income #1.” Then when Mark writes the next Extra Income essay, it will have a #2 next to it.
My weekly updates will have the same format. That way, you’ll know right away if you missed an essay or update.
If you think you’re missing an email—check your spam or junk folder, just in case. Then click here for instructions on how to make sure these emails don’t find their way into your spam folder by mistake again.
If you can’t find the missing email, contact customer service at 888-501-2598 or info@cspcustomerservice.com.
Be Prepared
We will be sending you a ton of very valuable information and advice. I've been involved in dozens of meetings since we began this project and, at every session, someone comes up with another great way to help club members achieve our goal: to help you become wealthy in fewer than seven years.
I look forward to joining you on your journey to financial independence.
Here's to your wealth-building efforts,
