I skied my way through my college years, spending many days on Mammoth Mountain in California as a part-time ski instructor and full-time ski bum. Even so, I was able to graduate with three degrees (Business, English, and Communications) in 1988. When I completed school, I decided that I was tired of being a ski bum, and I wanted to be a ski millionaire!

But, as a fresh college grad, I had no idea what I would do. I took my first job in San Diego, California, as a chauffeur. It was there that I met and began to work for Tony Robbins. As his National Sales Trainer, I benefited from a high level of personal development. But the travel was too much for me so I moved to Colorado where I hoped to settle down to a more quiet life.

In 2001, I was the director of business development for a telecommunications company, and again traveling close to 100,000 miles per year. I was gone all the time from home! In addition to my wife, I had a 2 year old, 13 year old, and a 16 year old at home that I missed terribly, but I had to keep on working to pay the bills. I was growing increasingly frustrated with the job, but what was I going to do? I realized one thing for certain; I’M A LOUSY EMPLOYEE! I had to find a way to make my fortune and not suffer the grind of being an employee nor be away from my family.

So I plugged in my laptop and began an Internet research project on Creative Real Estate as a business. I found sites such as, www.uslandco.com, and www.reidepot.com. I learned about the many aspects of this business from the vast amounts of articles that are on these sites. Once again, I realized that I was a lousy employee simply because I wanted to play. I could see no good reason whatsoever to work 50 weeks a year and just take 2 weeks off!

I went to a meeting of the Colorado Association of Real Estate Investors, (www.carei.com) here in Denver and I listened and I learned. I continued to study and analyze what was available to me in regards to learning the creative real estate business. In October 2001, I made a public declaration in front of the real estate club that I was going to do creative real estate investing full time. I was primed and ready, but I was still working for my current company.

The day after I made my bold declaration, my company laid me off with 3 months of severance pay. There was no turning back now. I went home, told my wife, packed my bags and my 3 year old little girl Chloe’s bags and took off for Hawaii for 2 weeks. When I got back to Denver, the rest, as they say, is history.

After 2 years in the business I’m now holding over 3 million dollars worth of real estate with equity approaching 1 million dollars. But, my success wasn't without pitfalls! In my book, "Rookie to Riches," I will tell you in plain, easy to understand language, about the lessons that I have learned on my way to financial freedom.

Good Luck and email me with any questions.

With warm regards and massive action,

Paul Wells
