disabled veterans group home – operations tip

THIS IS A QUICK AND EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL TIP THAT I TEACH MY
GOLD COURSE
CLIENTS

                                                        Let me give you a disabled veterans group home – operations tip. If you provide disabled veterans group homes – then you need LOCKERS……Keep reading this for more and BETTER operations tips from the GROUP HOME GURU

When you operate GROUP HOMES, CARE HOMES, SOBER HOMES ETC. YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY THE CREATOR OF FAMILIES.

Your job is to put different people together (we joke around periodically and call our homes “Petri Dishes”) and help them get along.

                                                       “INVERT ALWAYS INVERT” – Carl Jacobi

Like I said above, your job is to put people together, make sure they get along and make sure they pay their rent.

Now, revert back to Mr. Jacobi’s quote.

Let’s do this by taking away the opportunity of NOT getting along. For example – what if one of the disabled veterans living in your group home does not get along with one of the other disabled veterans?

HOW DO I DO THIS?

                           Here is the disabled veterans group home – operations tip you have been waiting for……

1 strategy I teach in the GOLD COURSE (aside from individual TV’s etc) is LOCKERS. Sometimes the MOST OBVIOUS things to do are the ones that never get implement.

THAT IS WHY YOU NEED LOCKERS.

Let me explain the ROI. Let’s assume you are one of my Premier GOLD COURSE clients. You got started with me a few years ago and now you have 7 GROUP HOMES. Prior to implementing the LOCKER STRATEGY you would have a Lost of Stolen item report every 3 months in each home. Thats 28 per year. Each time this type of BS happened, it would cost you 3-5 hours in lost time and often a lost tenant b/c one person said that another stole something……

THE LOCKER STRATEGY PUTS ALL OF THAT TO BED

                                    This disabled veterans group home – operations tip takes care of all of this….

(no disabled vets fighting amongst each other in your group home. No disabled vets in your group home saying someone stole their laptop)

With a locker, every tenant has one. If they have an item of value – whether a small laptop, BBQ Potato Chips (Im not kidding) or a gold bracelet, they have their own private locker. They must get their own lock…..

BUT JUST THIS ONE STRATEGY CAN ELIMINATE A TON OF WASTED TIME

IT TAKES TIME TO GET RICH WITH CERTAINTY

Posted on by admin

I had a call with one of my GOLD COURSE members this AM that I am personally mentoring.

She asked me a question

“Andy, how long will it take to have this business on auto-pilot. I want it throwing off $30,000 per month ASAP”

Here was my response:

“I have flowers in my yard…a wide variety. My favorites are my Pink Hibiscus. A few months ago, the shrubs were small. Green leaflets, but no buds. I put down some new dirt, some worms and some Specialty Hibiscus fertilizer. I tilled the soil. Then I waited. I made sure they got plenty of sunlight and I watered them regularly. I had faith.”

I have attached a few photos of what the flowers look like now (this morning) as well as a few buds that will be flowering here in the next week or so. I want you to really think about this today.

YOU ARE LIKE A FLOWER. MAKE SURE YOU WATER REGULARLY

INVEST IN YOURSELF

FIND SOME “SPECIALTY FERTILIZER” (BOOKS, TAPES, CD’S ETC.) THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO FULLY BLOOM AND BLOSSOM.

All of this may sound cliche, may sound a little lame – but you need to understand that the laws of nature are the laws of nature.

You can’t get rich overnight. The overnight success story is the one that took 20 years.

Take your time today and plant your seeds.

Whether through my GOLD COURSE or through something else, GET STARTED. Plant, till the soil, water, give yourself some sunshine and work at it.

The Group Home Business is one that is nearly indestructible.

There is HUGE demand in nearly every city throughout the United States. But you gotta get started. You can’t grow a beautiful flower if you never plant the seed.

Make An Extra $15K Per Year With 2% Cash Back Credit Cards At Your Care Home or Group Home. Learn How!

Posted on by admin

WANT TO MAKE AN EXTRA $15,000 WITH YOUR GROUP HOME?

USE 2% CASH BACK CREDIT CARDS

                    (2% Cash Back Credit Cards For Your Group Home Business)

I talk about this a lot in my GOLD COURSE. There are MILLIONS OF REASONS to start your own business. When I tell people this, I always have a little smile on my face.

Why?

MY GOAL IS TO SEE THEIR REACTION. THE SMART ONE’S KNOW THAT “MILLIONS” is another way of me telling them DOLLARS 🙂

OK, let’s get to the CRUX of this email. Truthfully, you don’t need to make $85,000 per month in passive income.

It’s more than 99.999% of my subscribers need to make in order to live a VERY VERY NICE LIFE.

For most people, just an extra $15,000 per year would be a nice supplemental income source.

Today, I want to SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE AN EXTRA $15,000 PER YEAR simply running your business. I am not talking about PROFIT. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT REVENUE. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT CUTTING EXPENSES.

THEN WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ANDY?

2% CASH-BACK CREDIT CARDS

When I wrote you yesterday, I mentioned that you need to automate. One of the ways of doing this is by putting everything on your credit card and paying it off monthly. The beauty of the GROUP HOME BUSINESS – LIKE I TEACH IN MY GOLD COURSE – Is that there is no inventory and no AR’s. What that means is that your business is a literal ATM.

MONEY COMES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT EACH AND EVERY MONTH. It doesn’t get eaten up with delayed receipts or in stuff you need to buy to manufacture a product.

YOU DON’T REALLY HAVE A BALANCE SHEET IN THIS BUSINESS. IT IS 100% P&L.

BACK TO 2% CASH – BACK CREDIT CARDS

So far this year, I have probably cashed out $8,000 or so. I am telling you, these 2% CASH BACK CREDIT CARDS ARE AMAZING.

The year isn’t even 1/2 way over. I am going to login shortly to just 1 credit card and take a screen shot for you guys. There is probably $3,000 – $4,000 of FREE CASH just sitting there. Fortunately, I do not need it. But guess what? It sure is nice.

I typically use this money to pay for vacations. My vacations are usually pretty extravagant. No, I don’t rent yachts in the Mediterranean or Sardinia with Tom Barrack or J – Z. But they are nice. Ritz Carlton, 4 Seasons, The Biltmore, The Belmond type of nice. $1,000 + per night. Honestly, it is quite enjoyable.

But the greatest part about it, is that they are essentially free. The primary difference is that I don’t pay for normal everyday business expenses with a check. We pay for them with 2% CASH BACK CREDIT CARDS LIKE I TEACH IN MY GOLD COURSE.

You won’t get rich this way. You just get to LIVE RICH.

This is an untapped MONSTER that not many people talk about or know about. Granted, if you have a cash tight business where you DO HAVE inventory and AR’s this game wont work. In fact, it will eat you alive. Capital One, Chase etc. know this. They’ll hammer you at 18% or more interest. But if you run your business the way I instruct – you can kill it. And kill them in the process.

In fact, this is something that popped up in the DODD FRANK act back in the day in the name of CONSUMER PROTECTION. They basically now need to tell you your rate etc – but they also give you the ability to get them on 2% Cash Back or even more if you use other cards (5% cash back for office supplies, 3% for gas etc)

If you learned something from today’s lesson – just remember: THIS IS JUST 1 LITTLE TRICK AND TECHNIQUE that I teach my GOLD COURSE Clients.
If you want another 1000+ techniques that will take you from ZERO TO HERO and help put money in your bank account and make you a community success story, then CHECK OUT MY GOLD COURSE
AT A BARE MINIMUM – Make sure you sign up for my free, 10-part series on how to create wealth with group homes

PS – I just checked. I have over 4K in cash back money. I have paid ZERO interest all year! The card gets paid monthly and each time i get 2% back.

ARE YOU WORKING HARD ON YOUR GROUP HOME OR SMART? (WASHING MACHINES WORK HARD)

Posted on by admin

Are You Excited To Wake Up This AM, Battle Traffic and Head To Work?

Probably Not.

But I would presume you are more excited Today than you were on MONDAY.

                                 ALMOST EVERYBODY THAT WORKS FOR SOMEBODY ELSE HATES  MONDAYS!

20 years ago, I too was in your position.

I knew that I needed to INVEST IN MYSELF (YOU ARE YOUR #1 ASSET) and learn how to start, acquire and grow businesses.

Remember, businesses are nothing more than revenue streams that produce free cashflow.

But I digress…Yes, having a job was HORRIBLE!

I didn’t want to wind up like the guys and gals that were 20 years my senior back then…..

Yesterday, I was talking with one of my GOLD COURSE students in OHIO…..She is an Immigrant from Cameroon (Africa) and a nurse. She told me………

“Andy, I am 33 years old. I want to spend time with my children. I don’t want to be doing this when I am 70 years old.”

She already worked hard and took massive action to come to the United States. Then she took action and got going with her very own GROUP HOME BUSINESS.

The cool thing is she took action.

She bought my GOLD COURSE about 8 months ago.

She already has 1 house up and going. She only has two clients at the moment (and is breaking even) but has room for another 4-5.

She needs a little help with marketing – and we will get her there.

How do I know? Because….

#1 She doesn’t want to slave away at a job working for someone else.

She doesn’t want to trade her time for dollars.

#2. She has vision. She knows where she is going.

She needs some small modifications in technique, sales scripts, marketing – but after she gets those alterations down pat – she will have 1 group home at 100% occupancy kicking off $2,000 – $3,500 in NET PROFIT EACH AND EVERY MONTH.

THIS IS WHAT I SHOW AND TEACH IN MY GOLD COURSE. 

After that, I am going to mentor her and help teach her the game of finance. Profit and Loss statements and how to read them. It is actually REALLY easy… The average teacher can’t simplify it and instruct because…

THOSE THAT CAN DO, THOSE THANT CAN’T TEACH……

I AM A DOER AND THAT IS WHY I CAN SIMPLIFY IT AND TEACH HER….

Once she has her marketing and finance skills down to a science, she will grow and expand. If she can get 8 group homes up and going by 2023, she will be 38 years old and have a monthly passive income of about $17,000 – $25,000 PER MONTH before any ancillary medical billing etc. That is enough to retire on for 9 out of 10 people.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

You do not need to work hard.

                                           Washing Machines Work Hard.

YOU NEED TO WORK SMART

WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE DO YOU NEED FOR YOUR GROUP HOME OR SOBER HOME?

Posted on by admin

      WHAT KIND OF GROUP HOME INSURANCE DO I NEED                             AND WHERE DO I GET IT?                                                       ,


I have received this exact question from two of my private mentoring clients over the last week and another 3 or 4 emails on it so I figured I’d answer it for you

You have basically three types of insurance:

1. Property insurance – this is the insurance you get to cover your property from fire, hail, lightning etc

2. Business insurance – this is the type of insurance you get to cover your group home from a wide variety of issues. Check out the insurance above (Philadelphia is a good provider for Sober Homes, Assisted Livings, Group Homes etc)

3. Excess Liability  – This covers you from people slipping and falling etc

There are other types of insurance you need to know about and that I cover in my GOLD COURSE (like workers comp insurance, auto insurance etc) but by and large #2 above is the one you need to have / know about.

Philadelphia provides this type of coverage….but there are a lot of other insurance companies as well. Here is the Philadelphia link

What Is the Best Way and How To Advertise Your Group Home? Hint – it is not the yellow pages

Posted on by admin

           HOW TO ADVERTISE YOUR GROUP HOME

OK folks, if you are still living in the stone ages then yes, go with the YELLOW PAGES…there are HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of people looking through the yellow pages each decade for group home housing. Re-Read that last sentence if you are too slow to grasp or if you have not had your coffee yet!

If you want to know how to advertise your group home ask yourself the following question – HOW DID YOU FIND THIS WEBSITE?

Look, I am not a coder, an HTML specialist or anything along those lines. In fact, I barely know a thing about the internet. But one thing I do have is common sense…and as the saying goes, common sense aint that common!

Common sense dictates that those interested in something are going to look on their cell-phones USING THE INTERNET to find a group home, care home or sober home. It is literally that simple.

On a daily basis, my GROUP HOME EMPIRE is probably receiving in the neighborhood of 15 – 30 internet generated leads. So yes, basically from 7 AM  – 10 at night 2-3 phone calls and texts PER HOUR are coming in looking for housing. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to determine that this is a business with HUGE DEMAND when you get that quantity of leads every day.

HOW DO I SCREEN MY GROUP HOME LEADS TO MAKE SURE THEY WILL QUALIFY?

Well look, everyone has there own way of doing things. Some of my house managers and operations guys like to dilly-dally on the phone and beat around the bush. I tell them to do what I do but they don’t always listen. That’s OK. I let them run the business as they see fit. But when the un-answered GOOGLE VOICE phone calls get routed to me (and I actually decide to pick up rather than send the voice transcription to my HOUSE MANAGERS like I teach my Students to do in the GOLD COURSE) here is how the conversations always go:

Me: “Hi, this is Andy XYZ Housing. Are you looking for housing for yourself or for someone else” (notice that I do this to determine if they are the actual client or if they are a social worker, case worker or family member”

Them: ” “Hi, I am X Case manager with XYX organization. I have a client that…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH”

Me: “Mam (or sir) pardon my interruption but I don’t want to waste your time. I literally have another 30 people that either have called or will be calling in the next few minutes. Let me get right to the point. We provide housing and related services for folks with a wide variety of disabilities. Our starting price is $595 per month, all bills paid, food included for our BRONZE PACKAGE. That is for a shared room. The price goes up from there. I can tell you more about our SILVER, GOLD and PLATINUM packages that go from $675 – $2,000 per month but first let’s make sure that your client can afford these options. Are they on SSI or SSDI or do they have someone that will be paying on their behalf?”

Them: “They are on SSI. They get $750 per month”

Summary:

 SCREEN YOUR PHONE CALLS ASAP! Don’t waste time! I see some of my house managers trying to be polite and afraid to ask the TOUGH questions. The tough questions are

HOW WILL THE CLIENT AFFORD TO PAY THE RENT!

Remember, if the client cant or wont pay – YOU DO NOT HAVE A BUSINESS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A BUSINESS, YOU CANNOT EAT AND YOUR OTHER CLIENTS WILL NOT HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE!!

If you want to be polite and have 60 minute conversations with people before asking them about their income – go work at a local charity! The GROUP HOME BUSINESS is a BUSINESS that will allow you to help others and help yourself. But you MUST ask the tought questions right off the bat.

AND REMEMBER WHERE THE LEADS COME FROM. THE INTERNET!

If you want to check out demand for group homes in your area, send me an email. We have a proprietary method for checking the amount of people in your local area that are searching for group home housing on a daily basis. If you can determine that more than 3 people are looking for GROUP HOME HOUSING on a daily basis- then you NEED TO BUILD A WEBSITE and start taking these types of phone calls.

WHY YOU NEED TO PAINT YOUR OWN PAINTING

Posted on by admin
DESIGN YOUR GROUP HOME BUSINESS LIKE MICHELANGELO!
Here is a quick TIP and some inspiration for why it
PAYS (SPIRITUALLY AND FINANCIALLY ) TO START YOUR GROUP HOME BUSINESS

   

Here are a few reasons:

YOU FEEL LIKE MICHELANGELO PAINTING THE SISTINE CHAPEL

(SEE THE PAINTING ABOVE? THAT’S WHAT YOU NEED TO DESIGN)

LET ME EXPLAIN:

You get to LOVE what you do

You get to paint your own painting. I REPEAT. THIS IS YOUR PAINTING. NOT SOMEBODY ELSE’S!

– In this case, nobody else may think it is a great painting…But it is YOUR painting. You get to design it HOW YOU want it to look. 

– Nobody second guesses you

– You get to do your own thing. What you want, with whom you want and when you want

– Nobody tells you to put seascapes where you have landscapes. Nobody tells you to put more red where you have blue paint. If you want to design the painting with a hint of purple…YOU CAN. It is YOUR painting. 

– It is a form of creativity. You get to express yourself THROUGH your group home business. 

– You do it because you LIKE it

– You get a lot of Community Applause. People in the community COUNT on you!

– You get to change lives in a positive way. You are making a HUGE IMPACT on society. 

– Eventually, you will not be doing it for the money….you are doing it because you LOVE IT

                                                                                                         WHAT TURNS YOU ON?

TRAIN OR BE DERAILED

Posted on by admin

                               TRAIN OR BE DERAILED

 (START A GROUP HOME W/out TRAINING = NOt ON TRACK)

Are you ready t start a group home? Do you ask yourself How Do I start a group home? Do you ask yourself how can I group my group home business?

The health of your Group Home Business is not much different from your body. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

If you were choking at the local restaurant, would you rather your friends learn the Heimlich maneuver right then and there by watching a YOUTUBE video or would you prefer that they had proper training and practice doing it?

Training, studying and investing in yourself is PROACTIVE.

If you don’t study, invest in yourself and learn about GROUP HOMES you become reactive.

When you are reactive, your chances for survival decrease dramatically.

I put together my GOLD COURSE for a few reasons. Here are some of them:

– I had 20+ years of group home and care home knowledge. I wanted to have it compiled into a more systematic format for my own personal benefit and the benefit of my company

– I wanted a “knowledge course” that would train my personal employees and house managers. Again, it was about ME and MY BUSINESS SYSTEMS.

– During times of crisis (and they do happen) I wanted to be prepared. I wanted my employees prepared. I didn’t want them watching YOUTUBE to learn what to do. I needed a step-by-step GOLD COURSE formula for how to start, run and operate group homes

– Putting it down on paper in an extremely organized fashion made me a better business owner

– The GOLD COURSE would be something that people from CA to NY, to OH to TX could use to learn how to start, operate and expand their group homes. These people could be potential business partners for me later down the line

– I had literally hundreds and hundreds of people asking me “How Do I Start And Operate a successful GROUP HOME ” over the years. This allowed me to simply give them the access via the internet.

The list goes on and on

SUMMARY:

In life, it is best to be PROACTIVE VS. REACTIVE.

If you want to help out society – maybe by starting a group home for disabled veterans or people with traumatic brain injuries – The smartest thing to do is TRAIN, PRACTICE AND BE PROACTIVE.

If you do not train, rest assured you will be derailed.

The best way to begin is by getting my FREE, 10-PART COURSE

Get Started Now

After that, I highly recommend continuing to read my blog. It is FREE! Tons of great information and you WILL LEARN A LOT……

Once you are TRULY READY to be proactive, then you can advance to my GOLD COURSE

It gives people the systems and knowledge they need to start, operate and grow a successful GROUP HOME EMPIRE

TODAY, make it a point to be PROACTIVE so that your train doesn’t get DERAILED.

Reticular Activating Cortex

Posted on by admin
Today I want to tell you the science behind why so many of life’s cliches are true. Let’s start with one:

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

As Charlie Munger likes to say,

“in life, you get what you deserve”

I believe this to be true. You see, when you tell yourself

“I just can’t find any good house managers “…what you SEE (and believe) is literally what you get.

Remember,

“IN LIFE, YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE”

WHAT DO YOU DESERVE?

DON’T YOU BELIEVE “DEEP DOWN” THAT YOU DESERVE BETTER?

If you do, then you need to see it and believe it.

YOU NEED TO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE GREAT HOUSE MANAGERS OUT THERE.

GUESS WHAT? THERE ARE!

Similarly, you need to SEE AND BELIEVE that there are good maintenance people, operators, deals, low rents and good tenants that will pay etc.

I could tell you a million stories, but lets start with this one….

One of my maintenance guys is probably THE NICEST AND MOST QUALITY HUMAN BEING you could ever imagine. The guy is at the properties EVERY SINGLE DAY at 6 AM – 7AM and literally does EVERYTHING from digging ditches to patch plumbing leaks, to painting rooms, to cleaning out messy rooms, to killing bed-bugs to transporting clients.

HE IS A STUD.

We could have been like SO MANY OTHERS and never found anyone good…. but guess what?

WE DESERVED TO FIND A GUY LIKE HIM.

WE TREAT HIM WELL

I GET HIM CHRISTMAS PRESENTS, I TAKE HIM TO LUNCH AND I PRAY FOR HIM. I don’t want to turn this into a religious prate, but this is the truth.

So today, start learning more about your RETICULAR ACTIVATING CORTEX like I teach in my GOLD COURSE. You get what you focus on in life and if you spend enough time working on what you focus on, you will deserve it.

This is the law of plowing, planting, watering, sowing and reaping. 

LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS WITH MY FREE 10 -PART COURSE

Get Started Now

You gotta put in the time.

When you do, you will be rewarded.

DO NOT THINK THAT THIS HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY!!!  AGAIN, YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE AND WHAT YOU FOCUS ON.

If you want to learn more about the step-by-step processes of starting a group home, scaling up to 2,3,4 or even 20 of them…..

how to run them, how to finance them, how to manage them, how to handle your P&L’s, how to oversee your book-keepers in India for pennies on the dollar, how to find good-employees, how to interview and hire them and how to manage them and much much more, then check out my ALL-INCLUSIVE GOLD COURSE.
