The Bull Hunters Guide

Hello Bullhunters, it was great to see many new members join the forum after that last article. It’s a place where you can come together and share your experiences of trading and ask other traders questions. I know you will find it of benefit to your success in the realm of trading and reaching your goals. Don’t forget to say Hi when you get in there and let me know how you are going too… I won’t bite


Jamie McIntyre with Sean Rasmussen

Taking time out to create a video course of the Jamie McIntyre best selling book What I Didn’t Learn at School But wish I Had did take some effort for those two busy Entrepreneurs firstly in getting together, filming, editing and then posting them so that they could be shared with you. My intent here is to show you Jamie himself who really is just an ordinary guy who has achieved some extra-ordinary things.

He was raised on a farm in Northern New South Wales in a large family and decided that when he grew up, he wanted to be rich, and I think he got much more than he bargained for. He has educated well in excess of 100,000 people from all over the world, teaching strategies pointing to Financial Freedom, and continues to do this with regular monthly seminars which are included as part of the 21st Century Academy homestudy package.


Here is Part 1 of the Jamie McIntyre video course:

Enjoy your reading and the video course.

Hey Bullhunters, wasn’t it great to see Aussie Rob in that last post. I remember when Sean headed off to Queenstown for that seminar with Jamie McIntyre and 21st Century Academy and his post about being snowed in and having to charter a helicopter to get out of there to get to the airport. It looked like a very cold place to be and I really would have liked to have seen some footage of Cherie, just for the look on her face whilst they were waiting for the ride

Where to find Like-Minded People

Today I would like to ask you if on your journey as a trader, do you have a support structure in place like family or friends who are heading for similar goals as you. Whether your goals are to replace your income to stay at home or to earn extra income to ensure that you have more money at the end of the month rather than month at the end of the money?

One of the best things about being a graduate of the Jamie McIntyre homestudy is that we can all come together on a forum where we can share our experiences. You don’t actually have to be a graduate to register but this would mean that you would have limited access to all of the areas of the forum. It is a way of staying in touch and discussing different strategies and stocks and trades and just getting to know others who want to do what you do. Learning from others experiences, or at least from those who are willing to share of course.

It’s also a place where some of the members have been able to meet up with people in their area to catch up and get to know each other better and also to grow that support system that you need to keep you on track.

Being disciplined with your trades or other goals and strategies, cements it further when you actually share it with someone and makes your dream more alive. If within your support structure, whatever that may be, you tell others what you want to achieve, it holds you accountable. If for some reason, you were not able to do something that you said you would, then you just acknowledge it and start again.

If you like this idea of meeting people like yourself and are not yet a member of Sean’s wealth forum, please head on over now and register here. It doesn’t cost anything to join and you never know who you might meet

Firstly Bullhunters, I would like to say that I am not a licenced Financial Planner and neither is Sean Rasmussen or Jamie McIntyre, so we cannot give advice on how to invest your money.  What I can do however, is share with you some insights of what Jamie talks about in his best selling book What I Didn’t Learn at School but Wish I Had.  After all, I wouldn’t be writing this blog if I hadn’t become a 21st Century Academy Graduate :)  And, if you are investing in the Stock Market and trading successfully, how are you going to make that money work for YOU rather than having to work for your money?

Please remember when you download this free ebook that the information presented here is based on Jamie McIntyre’s personal experiences as an entrepreneur, consultant, coach, investor and others he has modelled in detail.  You may have to modify them, do further research on them or adapt them to suit your personal financial situation.  Also, any information presented is given purely as an illustration and should not be construed as a specific investment recommendation.

The key to creating wealth is to make the space in Your Life for the money to show up first and foremost.  Jamie discusses  the following points, amongst many others,  and allows you to fill in your own details in the book itself so it is written in an educational format.  They fall under these categories: 

1. Financial Protection - this is the precise amount of money  you will require in liquid assets to be financially protected.
2. Financial Security - the amount of money you will need to achieve finacial security to cover the basic necessities such as food, clothing and transport.
3. Financial Independence - the amount of money you will need to achieve financial independence to be independent of working a J.O.B. (Just Over Broke).
4. Financial Freedom - this is attained when your investments provide enough income for you to live the lifestyle you desire for the rest of your life without ever having to work again.
5. Absolute Financial Freedom - this is when your investment income provides you with certainty that you can do whatever you want, as much as you want, whenever you want, wherever you want, with whomever you want, - without ever working again.

I have a big poster board that I drew listing these points with the amounts needed to achieve each level stuck on the door of my office so that I can look at it on a daily basis and know where I am up to.  So far, I have achieved step number two which is Financial Security and on the way to achieving Financial Independence by March of 2008. 

On this poster board, I also have some pictures that I have cut from magazines of places that are on my list to visit, a beautiful home similar to one which I would like to purchase and a photo of my newish car which I purchased at the beginning of the year.

I am not telling you this to impress you, but to impress upon you that planning for your financial future is imperative to living the life that you desire to live.

Working through the book helps you set up a reduction strategy to eliminate your bad debt (as opposed to good debt) for the purpose of using your money for the strategies of renting shares, property investing, running your business more successfully with a team of professionals and of course Internet Marketing strategies.  Jamie uses a synergy of all these strategies combined and wants to teach you how to develop a Millionaire Mindset and do the same. 

If you are reading this and are already trading, perhaps you may want to take a look at what else you could do with your finances to help reach your desired level of Financial Intelligence and quit working for someone else unless of course you enjoy what you do.  If the graduates reading this would like to comment and share something that really stood out for you from the book, I welcome your comments.

Sean’s wealth forum is a great place to meet other graduates and members who are doing their due dilligence into the homestudy so if you are so inclined, please visit the wealth forum and make some new friends.

To Your Financial Success

Bullhunter in Melbourne

Well my fellow Bullhunters, I met with the Bullhunter himself in Melbourne the week before last and Sean assures me that the next installment of the Bullhunters Guide will be out by the end of the year and I can promise you it will be well worth the wait.

Sean told me a little about the book so far and it does take time to put all this useful information together in one package for you so just stay tuned. He will be using real trade examples so that you can follow what he has been up to and the way he is formatting it, even the newest of newbies will be able to get it - the stock market that is.


Graduate of the Jamie McIntyre homestudy

I am not writing about the stock market or trading in this post as such, but rather, a little about my journey since becoming a 21st Century Academy homestudy Graduate that culminated in something that I ventured out to do this week.

I joined the 21stCA in April 2006 and I had just received this big box containing I think it is around 16 DVD’s, a workbook and a whole lot of other bits and pieces. It is loaded with information and strategies in regards to share strategies and property investing - and just on that note, did you know that you could potentially make around $35,000 tax free dollars every year with an investment property! Aside from that, there are free tickets for the 4 Day Education for Life seminar, Internet and Business Mastery seminar, Property seminars and the list goes on.

The Internet seminar was the first on my list so I attended and got to meet some very successful Internet Marketer’s who had such an impact on me that my time here is due to that seminar. Then I attended the 4 Day seminar and meeting like-minded people got the ball rolling for me to source out some personal development. We all know that your wealth matches your knowledge and mindset so I got working on mine and have not stopped.

My time spent online allows me to meet some very interesting people from all over the world and getting involved in forums and social network sites like Facebook, is where I learned about the Free Hugs Day event being held worldwide on Monday September 10th 2007. It prompted me to think back to Jamie McIntyre’s words when he talks at the seminar about mindset and that giving and receiving are reciprocal. It is a natural law. So because I have received so much abundance in the way of good friends in this last year, I wanted to do something to help others and make a difference.

So I attended the Free Hugs day with a friend and it was an awesome day. Let me tell you though, that there were times when it felt like ages that I was holding up the sign and no-one would approach me. The reason I am telling you this is not to impress you, but to impress upon you that once you start on this journey of reprogramming the way you think, there are many doors that can open up for you if you let them and when they do, be ready. That is the key.

Not everyone can go out and give hugs in a public place to complete strangers, and I am not suggesting that it is for everyone, but there are other ways that you can give back for the abundance that you receive. Whether it be in the form of material acquisitions or an inner awareness, being grateful for what you have will only increase your abundance.

So that is just a little more about me that you may not have known. I wish you all well with your trading and what the future holds for you.

To Your Success

“The only reason it took me nearly 2 years to fire my boss was purely because that’s the time I set for the goal. Had I set a 1 year target, I have no doubt that it would have been acheived in that time ” - Sean Rasmussen July 2006

So here’s the letter I wrote on that day, in it’s entire unedited form:

The Path To Freedom - leaving captivity

Sean Rasmussen - Karratha, Western Australia, Thursday, 8th December 2005

I’m finally there! In the next level.

Today, 8th December 2005 at 7am I walked away from my job a free man. No more shackles from the day to day grind of conforming to the will of society. I’ve replaced my income thanks to Jamie McIntyre (thanks Jamie) and the road is no longer rocky. My life has turned for the better. Big Time.

My new title: Full Time Investor & Life Coach

I can now do what I love to do. Invest during the day and help others achieve the same.

Look up the word Happy in a dictionary and you’ll see a picture of me. Actually, you’ll probably find my photo next to “ecstatic”, “excited” & “over the moon” as well.

Nearly 2 years ago, when I did the Jamie McIntyre homestudy program (the same month as Bill Stacy did his), I set a 2 year retirement target. Retire to do what I want to do, not what I have to do. There’s a big difference. I have been getting up in the morning and going to work because I had to.

Now I’ll be getting up and doing what I want to. Big difference.

My target has been achieved 5 weeks ahead of the deadline, January 15, 2006.

Meanwhile, I’m living my dreams. I’m in the Next Level. I’ve stepped up to the plate and I’m ready! Bring on life. It’s beautiful!

I’ve met some fantastic people over the last 21 months. Jamie McIntyre, Andrew Dimitri, Bill Stacy from Planet Wealth (mate, do you inspire me), Nik Halik, Adam Thomas & John Chapman from Investor Finance, Ian Daley, Roger (my graduate mate from Brisbane), 150+ Graduates that joined 21st Century Academy with me in the last 18 months, numerous speakers at seminars and literally hundreds of new people I’ve met through Jamie McIntyre’s program.

Has this been a fortune cookie of life, or what? Small things make big changes. I nearly didn’t see Jamie’s add in the paper that day in December 2003. I sent away for his free VHS and the rest is history.

Look up the word Happy in a dictionary and you’ll also see a picture of my wife, Cherie.

When she broke the board at the seminar in Fiji, I knew there and then. This is it. We are in the Next Level. Financial freedom is only a matter of time in my own mind. Success is approaching fast in the shape of happiness, freedom, gratitude, love, security, and financial rewards.

I am actively supporting charities. People want to know what I’m doing and want a piece of it. Life is looking pretty great right now, to say the least.

I’m really excited and there are a thousand things I want to do. Now I will be doing so with balance. For nearly 18 months, I have been working in a day job (10 hour days, 13 day fortnights), investing on the stock market, helping people get started with Jamie’s program and pretty much been up to 11-12pm every night with few exceptions.

Most mornings, I’ve got up at 4.30am to walk the dog and be at work on a construction site for a 6am start. 45 degree heat in summer, working in the sun in North West WA. I was nearly crippled or possibly killed by a near miss 6 weeks ago when a 6.75kg scaffold tube was dropped 12meters to the ground, landing within 6 inches of my right shoulder.

In all this time, I’ve watched about 6 movies, read no newspapers, watched maybe 1 hour of news and been 100% committed to the task. I only had $20,000 to start investing with and had no stock market knowledge worth mentioning 2 years ago.

Then I went to Fiji with my wife and 2 boys. That took me to the next level.

Now, I am planning balance in my life. This means evenings off. Lots of time with my family is not only on the cards but happening from today onwards. I’m scheduled to take my family to New Zealand in July 2006 and Hawaii in November 2006, followed by a few more destinations in 2007.

My next Big Holiday will be 4 weeks in France with my family. Don’t know when, but it will have to be soon. The world is too big to be sitting around, waiting for things to happen.

I’d like to share parts of my goal list I wrote out during a Jamie McIntyre homestudy session in January 2004:

• Retire to full time investor by January 15, 2006 - achieved
• Financial protection by 5 May 2005 - achieved
• Financial security by 5 May 2006 - on track
• Financial independence by 5 May 2007
• Financial freedom by 5 May 2008
• Absolute financial freedom by 5 May 2010
• Take my sons to all 7 continents by their 20th birthday – on track
• Travel to one major world destination every year – on track
• Donate 10% of profits to charity – ongoing and being honored
• Establish my own charity for educating children by 2016

There are many more. Some were achieved a lot easier than I thought. Others were possibly a bit ambitious but still workable. The main thing is this:

If I hadn’t written these goals down, I would have lost track and got off target. Today, I would still be at work and heading on a path towards retirement at the age of 65.

My inspiration source is massive. I will be sharing as much of my learning with as many people as I can. Anyone who wants to be a part of this, email me urgently. I’m building a team of 10 people to help me share this with many more people and help them do the same as me and many other 21st Century Academy Graduates. Who doesn’t want to be a Bill Stacy, right now? ( Bill, you’re a legend)

While I was writing this post, I jumped on the phone and joined up as an ongoing monthly sponsor of Greenpeace to add to my list of charities. When I nominated the amount, the response was hugely rewarding! Look. I’m taking action! I’ve been an onlooker for too long. Now I’m taking action.

One piece of advice I can give from all this:

Write down your dreams, Take Action and do it!

It’s all in your mind.

I’ll see you in the next level. Join me there.

Regards
Sean Rasmussen

So that was it. I wrote that testimonial within 1 hour of leaving the workforce forever. At the time I was overwhelmed by the fact that I had actually done it. All the critics, sceptics, cynics… all the people who told me it was a pipedream… they are still back there somewhere at the same job or another one. The beleivers who rewarded me with their support and who listened to me; some are advancing in leaps and bounds. Others are on their way or thinking about it. Life is surely beautiful and must be lived to its potential.

I beleived in Jamie McIntyre and 21st Century Academy. It paid off for me. I decided to make up my own mind and not let anyone else do it for me.

As I write this, I’m at a 21st Century Academy Education For Life seminar on the Gold Coast in Australia. It’s day 1 of 4. I have been to 6 or 7 of these now (it’s a benefit of working close with Jamie). I was listening to Jamie McIntyre inspire the 400+ people attending and I was inspired to jump into my hotel room during the break and post this. I remembered how easily I could have given this whole “wealth thing” a miss… The though scares me.

Beleive in your ability, back yourself in and take action! It’s the only way to find out what is really in store for you in life.

Thanks for reading my story.
