Greg Vojtanek grew up outside of Chicago to a middle class family. The extent of his stock market education was a 45 minute lesson in high school. Greg majored in Theater at Lewis University outside of Chicago, IL. Afterwards he moved to Los Angeles to pursue in career in acting, until he moved to NYC for love. While in New York, he first began investing in real estate. He managed a small property in PA. Since he was already interested in investing and residual income, when his sister-in-law, Julie, invited him to the Wealthy Artist program (now The Wealthy Investor Program), it seemed like a natural fit. The system clicked for Greg. He really liked that it was just simple numbers on a page; there was no brick and mortar and certainly no leaky faucets to fix. He started getting really good at covered calls and discreetly started to tell people about it. Slowly he started convincing his family to let him show them his skills. He first started an account for his 13 year-old nephew and later took on his Mom’s account. 

When Greg’s brother-in-law had a big break in Hollywood, he knew he was about to come into a lot of money that he didn’t know what to do with. Since Greg was the only guy who knew that could handle money, he asked Greg to move out to LA and work for him. So Greg moved back out to Hollywood and took over his finances by opening a trading account for him. 

Now, between managing his own trading account and his job managing others, he is financially independent. He exemplifies this with a recent experience; “I thought I had x amount of dollars in my personal account. I logged on yesterday and it was a lot more than what I thought I had. I don’t really worry about my account value because I know it’s fine. It climbed without me even knowing it.” This has allowed Greg to get back to his creative roots. He is now a writer on a new show premiering next year.

When you know you have money coming in every month from the stock market it, Greg says it is “…one less thing to worry about, and for most people that’s 50% of their worries in their life. If you can eliminate that or at least bring that down to like 10%, life becomes a lot easier.” One of the reasons Greg is still trading and taking class is because he loves helping other people, and he love’s putting other people’s minds at ease. 

If you aren’t sure if you’ll find success in the stock market, Greg says, “I have met so many walks of life in six years of working with [Tyrone] of people all over the place who figure it out. It may take some people a couple more classes than others. It doesn’t matter, that’s fine. Wherever you are in your life is where you are, that’s fine. And however long it takes you to figure out the numbers or what’s going on, that’s fine. If it takes you a couple minutes, great. If it takes you a couple weeks, great. But you are on your own pace and it is really not difficult.”

Owning and investing in the stock market requires that you believe that there are companies making money whose profits are going to go higher in the future. Many people think you would want to buy a stock at $7 and wait for it to raise $700 to get rich. However, this rarely happens. Instead, you should buy stock from companies that are already doing well, that are earning billions per quarter and annually. When they are earning high revenues, wall street rewards them with a higher stock price. 

There are more an more billionaires today because there are many companies who are doing extremely well, and their executives and investors are benefiting. 

For example, the company Oracle (ORCL) was founded by a man named Larry Ellison, who is now worth 43 billion dollars. Oracle has seen consistent revenue growth year after year. As the founder, Larry Ellison owns a number of shares of the stock, and it has made him a billionaire. 

When someone is a great innovator and they have the good fortune to be backed by wall street, they are given a certain number of shares of their company before it goes public. For the sake of the example, let’s say that number is 1 million shares priced at $1. When the company goes public, the shares are valued and sold at $40. Now, that innovator is worth $40 million. You can see how someone might become a billionaire, if they were given or purchased 50 million shares of a stock at $10 before it went public. 

Being on the inside before a company goes public can make you a billionaire. However, you can still do well buy purchasing shares of a company after it has gone public and has proven it’s consistent revenue. In The Wealthy Investor program we never purchase IPO’s because want to wait for the company to prove itself and its revenue first. 

Pepsico (PEP)’s CEO is named Indra Nooyi. She is worth 144 million dollars because as a part of her pay package she is issued a certain number of shares of Pepsi. She has not made it to the billionaire realm yet mainly because there is more money to be made in software these days than there is in soft drinks. 

Jeff Bezos who founded Amazon (AMZN) is worth over 50 billion dollars because Amazon’s stock has gone from $200 to $700 in the last five years. The higher the share price, the more his net worth will grow. 

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft is worth 76 billion dollars. When Microsoft started there was a lot of running room for software companies. Shareholders who bought into the company after the revenue started rising were rewarded handsomely. 

If you are not in on the ground floor of a company, it probably won’t making you a billionaire. However, investing into companies who are continuously growing their revenues can make you a millionaire. First, you have to get a financial education. Guessing is not investing. Guessing that a company’s stock could go higher is a losing strategy. You must learn to follow revenue. 

If you want a shot at becoming a billionaire, you need to follow an investing plan that has been proven to work. Here's a tip from The Wealthy Investor program: When you start buying stocks, buy in small increments. In The Wealthy Investor Program we call this building a position. If I wanted to buy shares of Oracle, Amazon, Pepsi, or Microsoft, I would start by purchasing 10 share. Then I would wait for the stock to go up five dollars to prove to me that it is worth purchasing more shares.

This show is all for your edification and today you can learn not only about the stock market, but about real estate. 

Linda Pliagas became fascinated with real estate because her parents lost their home when she was 15. They went through a foreclosure and it was quite traumatic for Linda. She realized that when she was an adult she wanted to be successful and be able to take control of her financial future. 

In order to go from a poverty mindset to get financially stable she thought she needed to work a lot of hours and be diligent. Later on she realized that instead of working hard she had to work smart. After this realization she went back to school. She became the first one in her family to get a Bachelor’s degree. She had to work her way through school so it took her a little longer to get the degree but she did it.

When Linda met her husband, his family was full of savvy investors. They were first generation americans who had immigrated from Greece. They worked 16 hour days to save their money and then they began investing in real estate. By the time Linda came into the picture they had built a nest egg of residential and commercial properties. Because the topic of real estate was a part of family gatherings Linda became very intrigued by it. 

Those around Linda who were active investors, whether it was real estate or stocks, were putting their money to work. Investors were living much better lives than those holding down regular jobs and spending most of the money they made. These people seemed to always be chasing that next beautiful object for instant gratification. 

The very first real estate deal Linda did, she had no money. Linda came across a house that she fell in love with. She and her husband asked for assistance from her husband’s family and they worked out a private loan that benefited both parties. A few years later, once they already owned one property, they were able to refinance with a home equity line of credit. They used that money to invest in another property. They were able to repeat this process a few times to increase their investments and their positive cash flow. Their second and third properties were both multi-family homes, which was better for their cash flow. 

In the beginning, Linda did the property management herself in order to keep costs down. However, now she hires professionals and has luckily never had issues with tenants not paying rent. At the height of her real estate career she had six four-unit properties, a single family home and a vacation home. After Linda and her husband began to grow their portfolio, they created a cooperation to protect their personal assets. 

Linda has been licensed as a real estate agent for 14 years. She began helping other people find properties in 2005 by referring them to her network of brokers and property managers. She received referrals fees from the brokers. Linda started putting on events and put together a magazine. It started out as a hobby but it is now her passion and of course, a business. 

When you open your mind to the type of residual income there is in the universe, there is no limit.

Turn-Key Real Estate is a great option for people just starting out in real estate. Linda is lucky to deal with one of the most popular and wonderful turn key providers in the country. These providers will buy a property at a discounted rate, many of which are in distressed situations where the owners can’t make payments or maybe a tenant passed away, etc. They will rehab the property, make it functioning and livable, which brings up the value of the neighborhood. After the asset is rented and the property is performing, they will get an investor to purchase the property. This is called a turn-key property. A lot of these properties are in smaller markets all across the country, so you can get started in real estate for much less than you would in New York or Los Angeles. 

The more Linda studied successful entrepreneurs and the real people with money in this country, she saw that wealthy people have diversified portfolios. They purposefully do not put all their eggs in one basket. They balance their money as well as their risk. This is what opened Linda's mind to investing in the stock market as well.  

Linda believes it is so important to have the right mindset. Getting to this point in her life has not been easy and she works long hours and puts a lot of effort into what she does. However, everything that is worthwhile is worth pursuing. You need to have faith in who you are and in your talents. Why is it that you want to be successful? The “why” is very important, and love is a great motivating force.
