How I Made over 300% ROI (without lifting an arm)




The year was 1986.  I was interacting with a family friend about some stock investments that were out-of-the-norm in the 1980s (gold stock).

Our family friend recommended that I purchase a gold stock called Vaal Reefs, as I recall the name.  I purchased about $5k in stock and continued on my daily activities at my position at Rockwell International.

Twelve or thirteen months later, the same friend called and noted that some political unrest in the country where Vaal Reefs was based suggested that I should sell my gold stock.  I approved the sale.  The gross sale amount - $16,000.

In other words, over a 12 month period, doing nothing, I made a 300% ROI.

Why do I tell you this?

To demonstrate such outlandish claims are not always too good to be true.  I didn’t do anything illegal.  I didn’t have any insider trading information.  I was not connected with anyone in political power in the United States or the country where Vaal Reefs operated.  I simply wrote a check and collected a check a year later.

What does this have to do with you?

The old saying goes, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.”  And I would agree that when investments and other aspects of your life seem too good to be true, they may be.  But, at least, if it peaks your interest, do your due diligence.

Why do I say this? 

I am the protégé of a Business Growth strategist who has taken one small business from $20,000 in sales to $10,000,000 in sales in 18 months.  He also took another business concern from $500,000 in sales to $300,000,000 in sales in 3 years.

If I am pressing the numbers on my calculator correctly, that equates to MORE than 300% ROI.

How did he do it? By leveraging assets within the business that the owners were not aware of. 

My mentor taught me the exact manner he does this.  And, if you wish, you can work with him (he’s $5,000 an hour; $50,000 a day).  Or you can receive the same at a fraction of that investment. 

I find overlooked opportunities within your business and turn these into windfall profits and additional streams of income.
