Paul Maguire in his own words.
“Im just a middle class kid, the youngest of 8 from a big Irish Catholic Family, and because I was the youngest, I got to observe and learn alot from watching the actions and results of my older brothers and sisters. And very early on, it was evident to me that real estate created wealth, and that you needed money to get along in this world. And also clear to me, was just about everyone struggled with it. When I read Zig Ziglars book See You at The Top at 19, it was the first time anyone had ever really told me or made me realize that I could determine my own destiny, in spite of my upbringing, in spite of my past failings, that in fact, the future was mine and I could make it as I desire. I just had to set goals, and take the steps. I took those steps, became a life long reader and learner, listened to audio cassette tapes now cd’s, attended seminars, went to college, became a chiropractor, and eventually, met a man named Mali who would be one who changed my life. Mali was a garbage man, a millionaire, and about my age, just under 30. I was doctor, and didnt have alot of money. But that day in Oakland Ca would change my life where I would learn how to buy foreclosures at first, and then later newer homes, apartments, land, and so on. In fact, enough money to be able to retire from chiropractic practice, and do other things.
It was when one of my sisters was diagnosed with a brain tumor, that the importance of having wealth hit home. See, my sister was poor, and had a pre teen daughter, a single parent. Shortly after being diagnosed with that condition, she got a notice to move out of her duplex apartment, one she had lived in for 15 years. This was tough because she had difficulty from her tumor. She was going to be put out on the street, but no, not my sister, because I loved her. I bought a house so she could live in it with her daughter, and she was taken care of for several years before finally having to go to a nursing home and then eventually passed. See, having wealth matters. Then my Dad, the greatest man I have ever known, a loving father, loyal husband, retired Navy Captain- Engineer, Big boss at NAS ALAMEDA..well Dad got Alzheimers- and suffice to say, it was very tough on Mom. But when she tried to put him in a nursing home, he was neglected, so badly so quickly that we pulled him out in less than 10 days- the facility, cited by the state, my father, taken care of at home, with my financial help and the help of my other siblings. See, wealth matters. and of course, he passed, then it was my Mom, being able to set her up with home care, and knowing how to structure her finances to give her passive income from her home. Wealth matters, and with it, you can ensure those you love and care about are unlikely to be left in un loving hands or uncaring or worse, as in my Dads case, neglecting hands. All of my family pitched in what they could with time, with care, with money, with finances. Hopefully that is the case for you too. But no matter what the situation you may face, its alot easier to face it when you have excessive wealth and funds, you will be in a much better position to provide for those you love. And hopefully you may never have too. But if you do, be ready. You will be glad, very glad, you are. And this is why I coach people on real estate, wealth building and investing.”
“There has to be a “doingness” to anything. Sure, think it first, yes, but do it!” There are lots of good ideas out there, so what. Ideas are an epidemic. The rarity is the person that actually does something with thier ideas. Some of the greatest minds in the world are wasted because they sit inside the skull of someone too lazy, too unhealthy, and or too distracted to actually DO SOMETHING with the genuis ideas they can come up with. Effort is required. But here is the great thing. You can hire, you can get to volunteer, you can harness the effort of many to help you make your ideas a reality. Learning and using that talent is what takes great ideas into great businesses, great changes in society, great movements in conciousness, great increases in wealth, and ultimately, the great satisfactiion and happiness of accomplishing your dream.”
“In my coaching programs, I try to break it down so that anyone can achieve whatever they want to achieve. For most people, that is the ability to live comfortably in retirement, stay healthy, do something for work they love and that pays well enough to take care their needs and then some. People want to make a difference in the lives of those their care about and love, in causes that matter to them, ensuring the future of these love ones and causes. Wealth building, real estate investing, business building, cash flow creation, these are all things that are important to building a net worth and a financial future. Important, absolutely. But life is not all about money now is it.
The simple fact is that even if you wanted to make all these great things happen, you stop right there, because you dont have the time to do it. And that is the key to effective coaching. Finding that time. And if you are looking for it in your schedule, you wont find it, because it doesnt exist. YOU are too BUSY. The question is, BUSY doing WHAT? and the truth is, for most clients, the time they spend on so called “work” is nothing more than old habits or expectations of tasks they think they must do.
Imagine being able to know that you will get all your time back because you won’t have to work again if you don’t want to- why? because you have enough cash flow that you don’t have to! Then its about choice, isn’t it. Not working by necessity, but by choice. To get there, you have to be willing to recognize, that what the majority of people are doing is NOT a working model for retirement or being free from “having to make money”. |
