Stop being a DREAMER – start being a DO-ER!

Take your ideas and dreams – and make them come true with REIN’s Featured Speaker for June 2011.

Part-Timers – Working your job and trying to invest in real estate means you need to be EXTRA SHARP in order to grow your investing business AND be profitable.

Full-Timers – Has your real estate investing become like a job?  And you are ready to move it to the next level?

In today’s business world less than half of new small companies will remain open for business for five years.

We have asked Susan DePue to share with you her formula – yes, a formula – that you can apply to your business and then watch it grow. Whether your business is part-time or full-time, this formula works in today’s economy.  And you can get it Monday, June 13, 2011, from 7:15 pm to 9 pm.

This formula is not mysterious… it is a science.  But it’s a little magical, too, because this formula ALWAYS works:

- with an established company’s stagnant business
- with a brand new undefined business
- and (most importantly) with YOUR business!

Susan calls this formula THE GROWTH POINTE FORMULA.  It is your Growth Pointe Strategy – your GPS – for business growth.

In 2009, Susan used this formula with a well established company… they grew 53.3%!

In 2010, Susan used this formula with an already profitable company and they grew an additional 60%!

Are you ready to blast off with your own business GPS?  Bring friends, family and business parters to this meeting you can’t afford to miss!

Register today and join us Monday, June 13, at 7:15 pm in Room 108 of the Swang Business Center, Lipscomb University, 3901 Granny White Pike, Nashville, TN 37204
