Known for a variety of successful ventures, Dean Graziosi is probably best known for his track record as a real estate investing expert and motivational speaker. He has created a number of top selling guides and books, such as Motor Millions and Think a Little Different, that teach the reader how to become a millionaire just like he did-through building successful businesses in the car and real estate industries. Aside from his acclaimed motivational literature, Dean Graziosi has also had a number of tapes, manuals, and videos-since 1999-that have helped thousands of people find the financial freedom they have always dreamed of.

Though today Dean Graziosi is a multi-millionaire and real estate whiz, life wasn’t always as kind. For starters, Dean grew up in a poor family with only his mother to provide for them. She worked two jobs to bring home a barely recognizable $90 per week for them to survive on. Suffice it to say, Dean went without a lot of luxuries that most kids take for granted while growing up -such as access to fine education and learning. Moreover, he was naturally teased for wearing secondhand clothes, and not having the convenience of money in his household. This said, Dean had to teach himself how to become what his dreams propelled him to.

At the young age of 16, is when Dean Graziosi began his career. His job was selling cars, but needing more of a challenge, he made a real estate investment on a fixer-upper apartment building in his home town. With no money to offer as a down payment, Dean was able to buy the property, fix it up and start benefiting from the efforts of his toil and ingenuity.

Next, Dean Graziosi decided it was time to broaden his experience and offer his insight to the world at large, but creating and producing his first infomercial. This infomercial was titled “Motor Millions” and is an informational guide on how to make money in the car industry-if you are a novice investor. This infomercial proved so successful, that Dean made millions of dollars just off it alone. By realizing that he could successfully teach other people how to make money in the car industry, Dean decided this was his career purpose, and went on to expand his reach even further.

By further, we mean in his other industry of success, real estate. He began writing books, guides, and inspirational videos for the public on how normal people can easily analyze the cycles involved with the real estate market, and be able to go on to buy, sell, rent, and flip properties with finesse and profit.

To date, Dean Graziosi has taught all over the country in lectures as well as through his infomercials, videos, books, and guides; educating thousands upon thousands of novice investors on how to make money in the car and real estate industries. He is as self made as they come and an inspiration for anyone in any economical situation.

Carleton Sheets’ (sometimes spelled Carlton) No Down Payment television infomercial won numerous awards and is now considered to be the longest running of its kind.   Carleton  has appeared on other television talk and radio shows.  He now resides in Stuart, Florida.

Carleton Sheets is a self made entrepreneur who has grown his real estate education business over the years with dedication, ingenuity, and progress in the real estate industry. Once a local teacher for real estate classes, Carleton Sheets has since become the famous real estate educator, trainer, author, and advisor that he now enjoys his national acclaim and success as. Known primarily for his No Down Payment program through his Professional Education Institute for novice real estate investors, Carleton has been educating the public on how to approach the real estate industry and succeed at it for a profitable enterprise for over twenty years.

Like many successful entrepreneurs who have worked their way up to success, Carleton Sheets began his career in disappointment with his life. He had hardly any money or credit, and had just been fired from some second rate job that barely paid the bills. Though his job had been second rate, he had worked there for over ten years, and in that time, he had acquired no special training or skill set that would make him marketable for another job. The devastation he felt by this situation made him start taking stock of his life, and start considering what he could make a career out of, and what could make him happy as well. The answer was inevitable: it was real estate.

Carleton found the industry of real estate fascinating in that for those in it, they were able to make money, own something, seemingly without much investment. Moreover, it seemed to him that the industry was only getting more lucrative and more people were making a successful go of focusing their careers on it.

So, Carleton, determined to succeed at his real estate calling, starting researching all he found find on real estate and the real estate industry. He read literature on the topic, and networked with real estate investors. Moreover, he went and got his real estate license, so that he could start putting this knowledge and research to work before his very eyes.

Though the start was based on a learning curve-as most new ventures are-Carleton finally got his first real estate listing which was an apartment building, which was at last a chance to prove himself and start making his dream come true. Unfortunately, no matter what he tried or how hard he tried, he could not sell the property. In utter frustration and disappointment, Sheets thought, why couldn’t he buy the property himself? With fellow investors in tow, Carleton Sheets was able to buy his first property, which would prove his first success on a long road of real estate successes. Suffice it to say that Carleton and his investors made a sizeable profit on the building when they sold it, and from that day forward he was hooked on the industry.

With time, Carleton Sheets gradually built up a reputation in the business, and decided he would share his story with others in a way to help others reach the level of success he had in the real estate business. He started teaching local courses on the subject, which helped to supplement all the learning and industry insight he was adding to his expertise and industry approach. Soon after, Carleton decided to offer his teaching on a more professional and wider reach, and coupled up with the professional Education Institute to record videos of his real estate business seminars. Somewhere along the line, Carleton Sheets realized that just in real estate holdings alone, he had made over 20 million dollars-a far cry from his meager beginnings.
