This leather-bound, 320-page gold leaf book is a must for anyone serious about making a Quantum Leap in their business and in their life! The book is not only Dans success story, but also a complete guide to QLA methodology. It gives insight into how Dan developed his methodology Through Experiences! Through Mistakes, wisdom is created.

Your First 100 Million is a book about making money. Lots of money. I dont mean a few hundred in your spare time. Any moron can do that. Thats pocket change. I dont mean increasing your sales 20%, or buying real estate or getting into the discount mortgage scam, or trying the latest faddy MLM scheme. Im talking about making so much money you cant count it youve got to weigh it. More money than you have ever dreamed of in your wildest fantasies.

How much money?

The title of this book says it all, Your First 100 Million.

Now forgive me, but at this stage of your life, you probably have no conception not the slightest inkling of the level of wealth I am talking about. If the absolute most you have ever dreamed about is a million pounds, and even this seems impossible to you, then this book is probably not for you. Your dreams are just not big enough at the moment. But if you have ever, even once, wondered what it would be like to have ten million, fifty million or a hundred million, then perhaps, just maybe, you qualify for a copy of this book.

By the way, the term millionaire is almost meaningless these days. Many ordinary people own houses worth 250,000 or more. Having a million pounds in assets just isnt rich any more. In 1920, a man will a million pounds would be worth around fifty million in todays money, so you can see that millionaire meant something in those days. Now it means little.

Fact: To be wealthy these days, you need 10 million or more. To be super-rich, you need 100 million. Even 10 million doesnt gain you a place in the Sunday Times richest 1,000 list! Your First 100 Million could help to get your name on that list.

The book is written by a man who knows everything about business to make any business a success. Dan Pena is straight and to the point. It tells it how it is and pulls no punches.

Lets keep it short and sweet. This book is worth your time and money! I am on my way to making my first $100 million as a result of Dan Penas wit, wisdom and experience. Dan Pena shares his experience in a way that allows you to apply the lessons hes learned in a practical way. Dan Pena shares a practical approach to building wealth that has enhanced my own experience and education. What I learned from this book were things I did not learn from my two years at Harvard Business School! I highly recommend this book.

If you want to read a book on how to create wealth from a person who has been there and done that then this is that book. There is a difference between talking about building wealth and having done it. Mr. Pena has done it. His success as an entrepreneur is proof of his principles and techniques of success.

Dan Peas words jump off the page. He has coached so many executives, business owners and potential business owners to success following the Quantum Leap Advantage methodology that he was compelled to put those concepts into a book format. Having dealt with financial institutions world-wide, Dan gives the reader the inside scoop on what is REALLY required when looking for capital. Readers will like that he doesnt sugar coat his words. He instills the real-world knowledge which gives you the confidence to go out and do whatever it takes to make your company, and therefore yourself, super-successful.

DAN PENA - THE 50 BILLION DOLLAR MAN - FULL MOVIE Part 1/2 | London Real

I'd like to ask experienced members for their opinion.I haven't been to the castle seminar, I'm just a broke astrophysics students with two small companies and a 35% yoy stock market return which amounts to nothing in total with my capital. But since I understand the method, enjoy building businesses, and practice magick rituals to ingrain affirmations like even Dan Pena wouldn't believe, my ears are now wide open to any opportunity. I offered a 50/50 deal to my primary fuckbuddy that is going into a medical therapy based trade right now and has the ability to buy existing practices for 0,- bucks due to no succession at no risk. I'm also starting a marketing business with a partner who is a well established marketing specialist and I'm keeping him as a CMO to work toward the opportunity of buying several small marketing agencies. I'll also be using the marketing agency to severely boost any business I have a stake in at ridiculously low prices with outsourcing. But that's just chump change and now something else popped up.

So here I am manipulating a hot girl on a dating app into wanting me to stuff her face. I ask her where she wants to be in five years to see if I can dodge the serious relationship bullet, she mentions that the company she works for will hopefully be sold and she started her own business in facial creams. Turns out she's a shareholder and "right-hand" of her fathers vertical B2B company making over 7 figures that he wants to sell because he wants to retire and she doesn't think the business is interesting enough for her. So I ask the cunt that told me she was responsible for finance for three numbers; valuation, earnings after tax, percentage growth over the last five years (life of the company). She suddenly turns around and says; "Haha I'm not going to tell you that, you can find it online but it's 7 figures revenue, we won several 30% growth awards." So obviously I have nothing more to discuss with her. An hour later she said the weirdest thing just happened, there was a wasp in her bed. Told her she deserved it.

Is there any advantage I can gain from my contact with this daughter or should I just forget her now and go straight to the company owner? Can I perhaps pull her tongue a little to let go of any weaknesses in the firm?

there must be good reasons for them not to show just any fucker off the street their financials and how can I make it as easy as possible for them to let me take a look in their financials? i.e Do I need to have my industry specific board before approaching them or can I first on my own inquire as to the financials and assemble a board afterwards?

They have a competitor down the the block that the current owner used to be a CEO in from 1993 till 2013. Ideally, should they also be acquired and merged into the deal? Both companies serve about three small western countries.

I'm very interested in your thoughts. I'll be researching this particular nerd market and all its aspects and I'll start looking for competent directors. I will do what is necessary to please both the father and the daughter in different ways if the father turns out to be motivated enough to be worth while.

We hired Dan Pena to retexture our ceilings after we had asbestos removed. We had two other offers and chose Dan because he was recommended by our asbestos removal company and his availability fitted our schedule. Price was good too! Jim did most of the work and he was very friendly and hard working. We are very happy with the results! Dan was most of the time very responsive, either by mail, text, or phone. They were also clear and cooperative when it came to extra things we added along the way (patch an extra hole here and there, adding another ceiling etc), which I very much appreciated. Thank you Jim and Dan!

I highly recommend Dan Pena for any drywall work. He took on a large project that other people in the business couldn't figure out. Dan has a very keen attention to detail and he took a lot of time to do certain parts of the job to make sure it looked right instead of rushing it. Danny is truly a perfectionist.Also he's careful to keep the whole place clean and covered with drop cloths and plastic. He even helped with more smaller projects months later and was very accommodating of my work schedule. Thanks for all the work, my place looks awesome now!

Asked for a quote and received one in a couple of days which was great but Dan sent over a couple of guys that don't appear to normally work for him. The drywall install left areas that were uneven and shows very poor workmanship. I was thoroughly disappointed. Texturing was sloppy. I called and asked them to resolve these issues and they never returned. I texted Dan about these issues and he disregarded my texts. I would suggest using Dan's brother, Jim Pena Drywall instead...In response to your comment to dodge your responsibility. It was you Dan, you were on vacation and I had only wish you had taken the time to resolve these issues. Take responsibility for your workers.

very satisfied and happy with Danny's work on both the drywall and baseboard fix. had called him yesterday and he was able to come help fix those items today. highly recommended and will look out for Danny again with any fixes in the future!

Danny did an amazing job finishing my garage. His price is reasonable and he is fun to be with. He added insulation to the wall, strengthened the ceiling jolts, added a pull-down ladder to the attic, dry walled and painted it professionally. He even added a wooden step which the inspector found to be a little too high and installed trims to the side doors at costs. He turned a completely run down garage into a highly desirable and usable space.

We are highly recommend Dan who just finished project with removal of popcorn Textured ceiling and application of smooth finish. Super clean, efficient and very professional work! The project was completed as Dan had estimated even though he had to fix some extra things that were revealed throughout the process. His pricing is very reasonable for the high quality of work he is doing. We are Very happy with the outcome. Great job!

Danny was very helpful and nice from the beginning til the end.He was very communicative and very calm and friendly throughout the entire process.I needed a job done urgently, and he was able to have it done.It was a new garage that needed painting. It was just dry wall with tape and texturing, and I needed it painted an off-white color. All the walls and the ceiling were painted. Danny suggested the color, and when I told him I wanted it to be wipeable, he suggested the paint finish (we went with eggshell). I compared several places and his price was the best by far!When I saw the finished product, I thought it needed another coat. I called Danny and told him and he said he would have the painter come and check the work to see if it was my opinion, or painter error as far as paint coverage. Danny had the painter come back the same day I called, which was the day before we were moving into our new home. The painter came and concluded that it did need another coat. Neither the Danny nor the painter got upset, or annoyed, nor defensive at my criticism, which was refreshing, and so nice to work with! Because they stand behind their work, they DID NOT charge me for the final coat of paint.In the end, the painter added the last coat of paint the evening before we moved in, even though he had just finished a long day of work himself!The garage looks amazing, but the best part of this experience was encountering this great customer service! Thank you Danny and Venancio!

Thank you Danny and Sal! Very professional and quick to respond all the way from the estimate to completion. I had my hall bathroom re-textured with Dan Pena Drywall. Prior to the project, half my bathroom was new drywall, half the old smooth wall. I needed all bathroom walls including the ceiling to be floated and retextured to a be an even smooth finish throughout. Danny provided the estimate and scheduled the project with me. He was really easy to work with and stayed in communication regularly. Sal came out to work on the walls and did an awesome job. The bathroom looks like new and I love it! He also was very clean and made sure to use drop cloth everywhere so as to keep the surrounding areas clean. That was sooo appreciated. I couldn't be happier with the result. So glad I chose Dan Pena Drywall! I will definitely be using them again in the near future to retexture additional walls in my home. Thanks again guys!

Experience was perfect in just about every way. I knock off a star because a call back took a day or two, but that's to be expected when you're the drywall rockstar. 🙂 Thanks, Dan.

I called around for a Drywall Expert and decided on Danny because he seemed the most professional. His cost was comparable to the other guys but his professionalism was beyond the others. I had a door removed and wall put up in replacement. In addition, I had a brick fireplace that needed drywall as well as a kitchen that needed drywall.Here's why Danny is great to work with:1) He is straight to the point. No unrelated questions. Everything he asked was about the project and what needed to be done. I'm pressed for time so I appreciated that a lot. He was in and out - didn't linger around like the other Dry Wall guys who wasted my time and asked irrelevant questions.2) On-Time: If he says he will arrive at 11:00AM - he arrives at 11:00 AM. Even if he'll be 10 minutes late, he gives a call.3) He responds to e-mail. OMG - Danny responds to e-mails! So many other guys have issues with responding to e-mail. Danny responds within 24 hours. Now that's customer service.4) Drywall: The drywall he put up was great. What makes his work different is Drywall is an art form to Danny. He just doesn't put up the drywall, he makes sure that all the cuts and vents are in a location that would the final product beautiful.5) Trust: He is that cool relative you wish you had. Totally trustworthy and doesn't seem shady at all. He just wants to do a good job.6) Spackle Guy: After the drywall was put up, the spackle guy came. This guy is like the Mudding King. The walls were so smooth and the texture by the brick fireplace matched (I didn't even know there was texture by the fireplace and told him to make it smooth. He double checked with me and pointed out that the ceiling had texture so it wouldn't look nice if he smoothed the wall. That's attention to detail). I also appreciated that he put up plastic coverings to keep the dust from flying all over the place - major points on this since I had a Little One in the house. My husband commented how professional the Spack Guy was since he had seen other Drywall Guys work on his Parents home in Southern California who didn't do that. I am definitely calling Danny back for my bathrooms and other bedrooms.

I had Danny come out to tear out the sheet rock of a bathroom ceiling (approx 9' x 5') as I had a new Panasonic exhaust fan installed by another contractor. Danny covered the area to keep it dust free and had the sheet rock removed in about 1.5 hours. He also brought over his son who helped out. He then put up the 1/2" new sheet rock, taped the seems and covered with all purpose compound. Danny does texture in stages to let it dry and then cover so it does not crack. He came back later in the day for another thin layer, then back the following day to finish texture (hand trowel). Very happy with his work, he is personable and easy to talk to. I also had him patch a few pieces in another bathroom and kitchen at additional cost.He charged $360 to tear down and put up new sheet rock on 9' x 5' bathroom ceiling and texture which I feel is a fair rate.5 stars, highly recommended.

Danny came to my house today to do some drywall repair in our living room, and patch a hole in the bathroom. He was very clean, which is super important as anyone who has had any type of construction work can attest to, he was on time for multiple appointments, and he was a friendly guy. I would highly recommend Dan to take care of all your drywall needs, and I will absolutely be using him for future projects and repairs. Thanks Dan appreciate all your hard work!

Had a bullnose corner that had to be repaired. Danny did an estimate via photos/email and came two days later to fix it. He took a look around and also fixed a few other cracks in the wall for free. He was professional, courteous, friendly and once we paint over the new plaster, we won't be able to tell he was there.

I called him and left a voice mail two weeks ago, but he never called me back. I also sent him an email, but the mail was returned as undeliverable. Then I called him again two weeks later, and he said he would come to my home in 20 minutes, but he never showed up.No call back because he may have been swamped with too many calls ... fine. Dead email address because something may have gone wrong with his domain ... fine. No show ... not fine. No matter how good job he may do (like all others say here), I don't trust professionals who don't keep their words.I give him four stars instead of one because I've never done business with him ... and I would never do.

I recommend Pea Drywall. I was impressed with the workers Jovanny, Johnny and Scott. They were prompt, provided quality work and were respectful of my home. In the future, I would use their services again.

I needed to get my kitchen ceiling patched after it was opened up for moisture remediation (flood in upstairs bath). Although Dan was on travel, he took my call and assessed the job I had to see if he could fit me in the schedule. I lucked out and got a slot two days later.He has a guy that does the hanging of the dry wall and another guy that does the taping and texturing. Both are masters of their trade. Both are efficient and clean. And they showed up when they said they would.The texture-guy was particularly a treat to watch work his spackle knife. The seams were not detectable and his texture job was a spot on match with my existing texture. I can't even tell that there were any repairs done.Dan Pena is my guy anytime I need drywall work and I highly recommend him and his team.

Incredibly unprofessional. Asked for a price that included the replacement of two drywalls in my garage. Received price and scheduled the work to start today, 8/18/14. They didn't show on time and when I called to get an update Dan Pena said that his price did NOT include the replacement of those drywalls, and that I would need to pay extra. Complete bait and switch. I would not recommend this company to anyone. Look at Tom Flores Drywall instead.

Had a plumbing repair in kitchen ceiling, and need to repair the drywall. After interviewed with a couple contractors, decided to work with Danny. He responded to estimate request very quick even he was away for vacation with very reasonable explanation on the estimate, the work he will put on, and the work schedule. They come on site on time as scheduled, work very professional, and kept the working area quite clean. Certainly, would highly recommend his works.

Anyone doing remodelling knows that it isn't easy, timely, and a mess.Recently we had a flooding issue and floors, ceilings and drywall were all torn up to dry everything out. I needed someone to come quickly and start work ASAP on patching it up and after many frustrating calls, emails and bid requests, I found Danny on Yelp. He responded to my email the next day and despite his busy schedule, he came to check out the place, sent an estimate the next day, and started work 2 days after that. After 6 days of work everything (except floors) has even restored and I am very happy with the results. Danny is honest and will not give you the run-around. He even fixed a door pro-bono just because he noticed that the handle was not on right. If you have any issues with the work, he is reasonable and does what needs to be done to get the job done right. He takes pride in what he does but more importantly he is trying to be a good "neighbour" and I really appreciated that.

Dan is your guy for dry wall patch! I texted him the photos of two holes and the texture of the matching wall, and he gave an accurate quote, and he came out the very next day to work on it, he even came out earlier than scheduled time. The work was fast and clean. It took three visits to finish, 1st, Dan came out to patch up the holes, 2nd, he had his guys came to texture the wall, 3rd, he himself came to paint. Dan followed up with us right after his guy's visit. What happened was his guy sat the compressor tire on our carpet and left a mark. He apologized to us and reduced $50 from total cost. Now you can't see where were the two holes. He did a perfect job! He's such a nice guy! The best I've ever done business with.Thanks a lot Dan!

Quotes:

I said in recent years political correctness is nothing more than a manifestation of a lack of self-esteem.

Unless youre around people that have big bodacious goals, unless you are being around people that think highly of themselves, then its less likely you will be a successful entrepreneur.

What I want you to be not just an entrepreneur, but I want you to be a high performance entrepreneur!

My market is not big because Im only after the one tenth of a percent. Thats my market. Thats it. And that at the very most thats the amount of people that are going to be willing to make that sacrifice those big sacrifices needed for high performance.

Ep. 001 - Dan Lok's Shoulders of Titans Podcast

Dan Pena needs NO introduction or explanation but for those of you who still dont know who The 50 Billion Dollar Man Daniel S. Pea Sr. is, lets start by saying that Dan is the most successful business coach on the planet.

Brian Rose from London Real with Mitja Dolinsek and Daniel S. Pea Sr.

The short story is that Dan Pena turned his company public on his 39th birthday and made upwards of 400 million dollars. Dan is the founder of QLA Quantum Leap Advantage methodology and now famous for his $20,000 Castle Seminar and Your First 100 Million limited editionbook.

Dan Pena has a lot of famous and very successful mentees. Over the last 25 years, Dan has created around 800 billion dollars in equity and value with them and will probably soon become The Trillion Dollar Man.

Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld, who is also a mentee of Dan Pena has created the largest deal in the history it is worth 500 billion dollars. For more information about the Davos in the desert deal click here.

The material that Dan Pena teaches is NOT for people that want to make a million dollars. Quantum Leap Advantage methodology is only for high-performance individuals who want to make at least 10 million dollars! The quickest that anyone has done this entire process is Dan Pena who has done it in about 5 months.

The QLA method requires a lot of emotional strength because a lot of things can and probably will go wrong and you will have to handle it!

Even people that attend his famous castle seminar still mostly give up. All QLA castle seminar mentees get a free yearly mentorship from Dan Pena personally, however, his mentorship is very challenging for most people. They have to submit their reports of what they did on a weekly basis and do exactly as Dan Pena tells them if they fail to do that (because they are either too lazy, lose motivation or are afraid to step out of their comfort zone), it is all over for them!

Around 20 people attend the average Quantum Leap Advantage castle seminar but after 6 months, only 1 or 2 may still attend Dan Penas meetings and submit their reports pretty much everybody eventually drops out. His QLA method is really NOT designed to be mainstream because it requires a lot of self-discipline, self-esteem, and a large emotional bank account that 99% of people dont have.

Dan Pena Quantum Leap Advantage Methodology is quite simple to understand and it seems pretty easy if you logically think about it, however, it is a lot harder to do!

Dan Pena gives all of his products away for free. Here are some of his programs and my personal notes that I wrote when I studied his material before attending the QLA castle seminar:

Keep in mind that most people fail but the people who make it work, succeed beyond their wildest dreams!

If you want to have a huge business that will make you at least 10 million dollars, it does not make sense to do it entirely alone. You will need to get a chairman and a board of directors or advisers, lawyers, accountants, etc. You need the best people that you can possibly find!

The founder of The Blackstone Group, which is one of the biggest multinational private equity firms said that if you hire employees that are perfect 10s you can build a great company. If you hire 9s, you are still able to build a good company but if you decide to hire 8s he does not know how to build a company. With the QLA method, you are going to need the best of the best employees!

You always start by picking an industry you can also follow a few models. The first one is starting from scratch you can pick for example social media and start a social network like Mark Zuckerberg did. The other models include acquiring existing companies, which is actually a much easier way! A chance for success is bigger if you get yourself a company that already works than it would be if you start with nothing. However, the reward will be bigger if you do it with a start-up company (build it all the way up from nothing like Facebook or Google)!

Some industries are better to pick than others, here are a few of them:Healthcare is a great choice because it is an extremely important part of the society, life expectancy is increasing, people want to live longer and are ready to pay a lot of money for expensive treatments. Some studies show that more than 70% of all the money that is being spent on healthcare is spent in the last 4 months of the individuals life.

Technology is also a huge industry that is rapidly changing and expanding there is a lot of money to be made here! These are Dan Penas favorite top two picks:

Of course, if you are already an expert in the real estate industry or you love restaurants, pick that industry because you will spend A LOT of time there!If you choose to start with a start-up company, you are going to need an idea. This might not be a simple task but its also not a difficult one if you go to Silicon Valley, you will find people with thousands of great ideas that they would like to execute. In case you chose to acquire a company, the best suggestion that I can give to you is to pick a fragmented industry that you will be able to consolidate the strategy here is to acquire 20 or 50 companies, consolidate them together to get a huge company, and then sell it to an industry giant in the technology industry you might get acquired by Facebook if you are big enough. If you chose healthcare you can consolidate a lot of clinics or dentistry and sell it in one big package.

If you just go to Yellow Pages, you will see thousands upon thousands of businesses that are currently in fragmented industries and that you can consolidate into one giant company!

In order to achieve that, you will need smart experienced people and a lot of capital! In order to get all of that money, you will need to have a great perception! Perhaps the easiest strategy to raise that kind of money is to associate yourself with people that have already done a lot of business very successfully in the past. If potential investors look at your board and they see Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett sitting there, you will get all the money that you need. Even if these superstars dont come up with something incredibly innovative, they would still probably at least break even to pay off their investors! If these famous entrepreneurs, however, do win, then as Dan Pena would say you would make so much money that you would not be able to count it, you would have to weight it!

The question at this point is how do YOU get your chairman, board of directors, accountants, and lawyers?Start with an anchor chairman this means you should get a chairman with a proven track record, who has already achieved a lot. He has to be an incredibly successful person. It also helps if your chairman already has some experience in the industry that you are entering. You should make a list of the top 50 people in the industry that you chose and try to get one of them to be your chairman.

This is when that statement that I wrote, in the beginning, becomes true it is very simple to logically understand why you need a highly-successful chairman, meeting these top 50 people and getting rejected countless times is another story. Your offer to these people is around 25% of your company and you are NOT asking for any money in exchange for that equity you are giving them free equity in your company which is why you are going to get their interest.These wealthy individuals get offered a lot of things all the time, which is why you MUST stand out and turning down one-quarter of a company that they can get without any investment is not that easy to do especially if they see you as a highly motivated high-performance individual who never gives up. In most cases, you are going to remind them of themselves when they first got started.

There are a lot of techniques that you can use to get in touch with them:personal gifts, accidentally meeting them in their favorite places, seminars, conferences It would be awesome if you could further build up a stronger relationship with them, however, that is easier said than done because they must be extremely busy (if you try to call them you might have to go through several assistants and other gatekeepers).

When you get your chairman, roughly 50% of the recruiting work is already done! Getting other people to join your company is much easier because they might falsely believe that your chairman did a lot of research on the topic and already knows how to do everything for example lets say you get Bill Gates as your chairman. Other people would love to join that company even if Bill Gates doesnt really know how to make this work yet.

The next step is to get 3 to 4 board of directors. If you are building this company in the US, you should instead get board of advisors for legal purposes, when you get sued (and you will because its almost impossible to build a big company without any litigation). If you really want to be a billionaire or have at least 100 million dollars, you will almost certainly get sued. Dan Pena is very comfortable being sued and so should you get comfortable being uncomfortable!That part is not as difficult in Europe, so you can get a board of directors rather than advisors if you live in Europe. Every member of the board should get anywhere from 2 to 5% of your company depending on how active they will be.

If you get someone just so he can build your perception through the roof because he is well known and it makes your job easier when you show your list of directors to investors, then you might only give him 1%. If someone will be extremely involved in your business, you might also consider giving him 10% of the company.

The chairman and board of directors/advisors will NOT be involved in your business in terms of day to day management. You will only have around 4 meetings per year with them. In some of those meetings the entire board is going to meet and in other meetings perhaps you will just meet with somebody 1 on 1 to ask for advice. This process is not very fast, it will take some time to put your dream team together.

After that, its time to get your lawyers and accountants. You will get them on success fee basis they will only get paid when you acquire a company. This strategy is not very common when you are small, but in the big business world, this is how its done! If they dont want to do that, it means that they are not taking you seriously.

If they only want to work with you on an hourly basis, that means that they dont care if you win or lose or they dont think you will make a lot of money and they think you will only waste their time the strategy that the QLA method suggests is that they only make money when you make definitely is definitely the way to go!

Dan Pena often lets you know that you should join the business clubs that you cant afford and that dont want you! The same principle applies to your dream team, lawyers, and accountants. Dont get random people that say yes to anyone, really get the best of the best!

You dont want to get any red flags regarding your financial situation and audits you also want the best legal advice that you cant possibly afford!

At this point, the question is how do you make money with the QLA method?When you are acquiring a new company, you need to borrow money if the company is worth a million dollars, you always raise more than that, lets say you raise 1.8 million dollars.

You use 1 million to buy a company and $800,000 is working capital. If you have 50% of the company, 50% of the working capital basically goes to you this is a bit oversimplified because you might want to keep this money for other expenses but this is roughly how it works if your chairman has 25% of the company, he gets $200,000. Some companies that you are going to acquire are going to be very expensive perhaps you will raise 20 million dollars and 5 million of that will be working capital, so you will make 2,5 million by acquiring that company.

The second way to make money is with dividends. The companies that you acquire will be well established so that you will be paid in dividends for some of them.And the final way is when you go public when you acquire hundreds of companies and put them all together, that giant company is worth more than the sum of the individual companies when you sell your stocks, you get more money than you had before you went public now that the company is worth a lot more.

That is it!

People frequently say that they would like to keep all the equity for themselves rather than giving it away, so here is a question for them would you rather have 100% of a million dollar company or 50% of 50 million-dollar company?

The answer is very obvious it is improbable that you will build a giant company on your own without any track record because people wont trust you as much as they will trust your chairman and board of advisers.Perception is reality that is what Dan Pena teaches us! You will get to IPO or get investors much quicker if you have a famous dream team around you that banks and investors already know.

Dan Pena also teaches us that we have 2 bank accounts:

The financial bank account is now big enough if the emotional account is not big enough if the emotional bank account was big enough, you would be able to implement QLA methodology fully and make millions! This entire process takes anywhere from 3 to 7 years to complete at which point you can do it again.

I first heard about Dan Pena from my first mentor Matt Pocius, who went to the $20,000 castle seminar three times which is one one the significant factors why Matt was able to become a millionaire at the age of 18 and became known as The Youngest Highest Paid Internet Marketing Consultant In The World.
