BUYING FORECLOSURES
Foreclosures happen everywhere, just ask any lender. The rise
in foreclosures can be your opportunity. Consider the followng:
• Each year properties nationwide go into foreclosure.
• Hundreds of millions of dollars in foreclosed properties are
listed on the books of banks, savings & loans & finance
companies alone.
• Sellers need to sell their foreclosed properties but banks
aren’t in the business of owning them.
• In the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis, buyers for
foreclosed properties are still needed.
• Class will also cover short sales which are becoming more
popular because of the huge discounts they offer.
You can learn to profit from foreclosures. This class covers:
• Dealing with & buying foreclosed properties directly from
the owners.
• How to buy at a sheriff’s sale.
• Even after a sheriff’s sale, how to approach & buy from the
lender
• How to pay no commissions
• Timing your purchase for maximum appreciation.
...and all the “nuts and bolts” information you need to get started.

Tired of being a fat cow & want to be a skinny bitch? Learn
how to conquer fat forever! You’re overweight for the
simplest reasons - wrong foods, wrong types of calories
per meal, meals in the wrong patterns each day. FOOD is
more powerful than any prescription weight-loss pills,
the FOOD you eat can make you THIN or FAT. You don’t
get fat because of a lack of exercise, that’s a myth. You get
fat because you don’t eat the right foods at the right intervals daily. Stop diets loaded with artificial processed
“franken-foods” that enrich the agro-medical-chemical
industries but keep you fat, sick and sad. People aren’t
losing weight by switching to low fat lifestyles. Here is what
science says: The low-carb, high-fat Atkins diet beat other
diets in a larege head-tohead study. Still, the results showed
how hard it is to lose weight and keep it off. Overweight
women on Atkins lost more weight over a year than those
on the low-carb diet, with better blood pressure and cholesterol levels. “The study shows that Atkins may be more healthful
than critics contend,” says the lead author, a Stanford researcher. Get the facts to help you create a diet that is based
upon your unique DNA as a human...we are not cows, we are
skinny bitches! Learn a plan designed to help YOU get to
YOUR best weight. Come and get the real deal about food, fat
and freedom! Ami Moore, Phd,CADC,CPAM,CMT,CMVT is a

NLP: THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OF
ACHIEVEMENT
Open new doors to achievement and success, put NLP in
action for yourself. NLP has already helped millions of
people overcome fears, increase confidence, resolve
conflicts, enrich relationships and achieve greater success than they thought possible. Learn to:
• Make your goals irresistable • Motivate yourself
instantly • Change your feelings in seconds
• Resolve inner conflicts
• Eliminate fears, even if they are from years ago
• Create a new self image & blueprint for success
Answer these questions & find out. Do you have a clear
and definite image of what you want? Are you easily distracted from your goals or dreams? Do fearful feelings
sometimes get in the way of what you want? Have negative
moods or emotions held you back? Have inner conflicts
ever stopped you from taking action?
If you answered “yes” to even one question, you owe it
to yourself to learn more about NLP.
NLP is the new technology of achievement that you do for
yourself with immediate results. CHANGE YOUR

Are you tired of swimming upstream? Learn how to relax
and achieve results the easy way. You’ve been breathing
since the moment you were born, but have you ever consciously examined how your muscles, lungs and spine
move when you breathe? Improper breathing ultimately
affects every cell in your body since every cell needs oxygen to function. Learn how the sound of your breath indicates whether or not you are breathing properly. As
you improve your breathing, you automatically improve
all of your other bodily functions. As you continue to relax
your body through deep breathing, your mind slips into
an intuitive alpha state. Now you can peacefully wait for
inspiring ideas, images and insights to spontaneously
appear, or you can induce positive thoughts and pictures
by using proven visualization techniques. Learn how to
trust your instincts and apply your imagination to get what
you want. Since you always have to breathe, you’ll learn
how you can change your physical, emotional and mental
state by changing your breathing patterns. Dr. Jay Stone,

Most people believe the way to reach their goals is by
conquering their weaknesses. This workshop explores
an alternative way of creating success by, instead, working
on strengths. Particpants will explore the effects of simple
beliefs in weaknesses on their lives, the possibility of just
concentrating on strengths to achieve success, and the
practical way of making it happen. In this class you will:
• Gain a better understanding of how
concentrating on weaknesses can slow
down personal progress
• Explore your strengths and work on using
them to obtain your gains while maintaining a higher self-esteem.
• Make a list of strengths and strategies to
use them in moving forward with your
goals.

Practiced by the ancient sages of every land from the Orient to the plains of North America, dream interpretation
once played a powerful role in human history. Though
long abandoned in the West it began a resurgence in the
20th century under Sigmund Freud. But it was his
“crowned prince” Carl-Gustav Jung who first seriously
collected thousands of dreams and wrote about how their
powerful images and symbols influence and guide us.
Learn how you too, can come to understand what these
images mean for you and how to harness the power of
dreams for perpetual inspiration, self-reflection, problem solving, and the cultivation of your inner life. Following the techniques of Jung and his many followers, this
class will give you a solid background in dream interpretation, frequent themes and their possible meanings, as
well as tools to use that will let you decipher the often baffling but powerful images and what they can do for you.

JOB INTERVIEWING An (Almost)
Unfair Competitive Edge
Amazing training reveals interviewing secrets and tactics known
to only a few. This is not stuff like press your suit, bring your
resume, and show up on time. This class reveals the unwritten
rules so you can beat your competition: how to control the
interview, put your interviewer at ease, discover unspoken needs
& convince the employer that you are the best candidate for the
job, even if you don’t match the stated requirements exactly. Covers tricky situations: what to say if you have been out of work for
a long time, if you were fired, if you don’t want your present employer to know you are “looking”; the exact phrases to say to
boost your salary thousands of dollars! A Competitive Edge Grad
writes: “When we discussed salary, I heard your voice...It worked!”

Have you ever seen a beautiful woman you wanted to meet but you
just didn’t know what to say or do? Ever feared that if you walk up

spark attraction and arrange a date. Break through self-limiting
beliefs, like “women don’t go for men who don’t have money” or
“or older or balding men can’t get hot girls.” If you hope to overcome shyness around women, improve your dating options, and
find yourself an amazing lover then sign up today.James Amoureux
is a sex educator and social psychologist. He is the author of
“How to Start A Kinky Relationship,” a guidebook to creating
healthy alternative relationships. He has coached hundreds of

“SECRET CHICAGO” TOUR
Take a tour of the wild and lesser known side of Chicago. You will
have the opportunity to see the parts of Chicago that those in the
know would prefer you not see. Visit the cheap, but unique dives
and the more colorful emporiums of entertainment. See the dark
and forbidden side that the City of Big Shoulders supports, hidden in the shadows and the backways, places not included in the
conventional cultural tours. Each tour is different and may provide the chance to dabble with pagans and magicians, dally with
fetishists and get friendly with the non-conformists who never
make it into the regular tours. Your guide will open the doors
normally locked to those without the right connections to get in.
This is the Chicago you will have to see to believe, because unless
you’re seeking out the obscure, you won’t read or hear about it
without your guide to its wild side. Time does not always permit
leisurely food stops, so it’s recommended that you eat beforehand. Mark Mandrake is an internationally recognized
