Re-cap of August 21st Special Event with Nouveau Riche University Co-founder and CEO Jim Piccolo

“Reaching Beyond the Dream”

Re-cap of August 21st Special Event with NRU Co-founder and CEO Jim Piccolo

Last night’s Special Event was nothing short of enlightening and inspirational! This session reinforced that NRU is a company that continues to offer more and more reasons to be a part of its Community! Jim Piccolo, Nouveau Riche University CEO and a legendary visionary, and “friends” divulged valuable information about getting educated and making smart choices, taking action, and living each day to the fullest.

“Nouveau Riche University provides the finest and most comprehensive education on the topic of real estate investing available anywhere and for any price,” stated Jim Piccolo. Check out how our CEO is reaching beyond the dream and reaching out to others.

“NRU’s Faculty members are some of the best practitioners…We offer you the opportunity to choose [what you want to learn] with our preference-driven educational program… We look for proper partners and franchisees to form a Community to help you establish, build and realize your dreams… We have consultants we rely on, lending credibility from outside the NRU Community…” remarked Jim Piccolo.

Some highlights from the evening:

Last night’s panel comprised of NRU Faculty members, Presidents and CEOs of Community Benefit Companies, Mark Kohler, Craig Cottrell, Mike Phillips, John Dessauer, Tony Litster, Gavin McCaleb, and Irv Wilson, and Emerging Markets President Bob Chilton, joined forces up on stage to further illustrate what sets NRU apart. As The Real Market Experts® and NRU continues to flourish, Jim Piccolo announces the new CEO of The Real Market Experts®: Irv Wilson—a person whom he has known for over 20 years, someone whom he trusts to guide the Community and provide good, solid deals.

The Real Market Experts® teams up with Emerging Markets of North America to present an exclusive offer for NRU Community members: the opportunity to purchase 1 and 2 bedroom condominiums at Four Peaks Condominiums in Fountain Hills, AZ, before the general public! Take action NOW, before they are open to the general public on September 19th. Contact RME at PhxTeam@realmarketexperts.com for more information.

Special Guest Heather Grossman, a mother, mentor, survivor of domestic violence, winner of the Miss Wheelchair Arizona Pageant, and first runner up in the Miss Wheelchair America Pageant, shared her heart-warming, amazing story of tenacity, unfortunate circumstances, beating the odds, and her devotion to changing others’ lives. In the spirit of NRU giving back, NRU proudly sponsored Heather in the recent Miss America Wheelchair Pageant and last night, NRU founders honored her with the “Inspiration Award 2007,” an eagle trophy, for her superior drive and determination.

In the words of Heather Grossman, “View every situation as an opportunity to learn and grow. There’s nothing more powerful than the ability to accomplish new things… Many of life’s failures are because you give up before you reach success when you don’t know just how close you are to achieving it... Sometimes we’re faced with challenges we need to rise above…Make the most of your life…Your state of mind determines who you are and who you become. Live life to the fullest.”

An Evening with “The General”
Re-cap of August 20th ISA Training with NRU Co-founder Bob Snyder

Were you among the eager entrepreneurs to hear the exciting announcements, strategies and systems to help you simplify your life and take your business to the next level? This College, many ISAs lined up to take part in the motivational, information-packed evening with “The General”. Monday night, Bob Snyder shared some major information about enhancements to the ISA training process, cutting-edge technology designed to help you “enroll people as easy across the city as you can across the country,” bonus recruiting activities, and for the finale….the 2007 Winners Circle destination and rules!

Here’s the scoop on Monday night's announcements:

Independent Training Associate (ITA) – Anyone who would like to represent NRU and earn commissions must “apply” to become an authorized ISA. Effective September 4th, all applicants will be designated as Independent Training Associates (ITAs), working towards ISA certification (at specific product level). An ITA must pass an "Entrance Exam" before beginning the training process. Through this training process, the ITA will learn about NRU products, entering orders, ensuring proper expectations are set, etc. Once training sales have been completed, the ITA must then take the “ISA Certification Exam.” After passing the “ISA Certification Exam,” the individual becomes a Certified ISA (at specific product level). The Business Partner must also follow this enhanced training process. Watch your email for more details.

Write-Sign System – the simplified order completion process. Effective September 4th, no more faxing documents for signature verification! Individuals will be able to sign online with a real signature using innovative technology that complies with and goes beyond the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act). The new and improved order process means ISAs will be able to obtain order information via phone or an Order Information Form, the customer will receive an email with a link to the order summary and product Terms & Conditions, and the customer can then "Write-Sign" the Terms & Conditions using a computer mouse or PDA stylus! WOW – isn’t that easy? Watch your email for more details.

Media Vault – an excellent addition to recruiting activities, helping you pre-screen and pre-qualify prospective students! Soon you will be able to send multi-media presentations and training from your Business Center to prospective students and team members—enjoy a 60-day FREE trial period! Select the recipient(s) and the item(s) to be sent and enjoy the added benefit of an automatic system tracking of item(s) sent to contacts! Send presentations to your prospects, help them see just what NRU is all about, and allow them to fill out a follow up form. This new system will enable you to see the results from their follow up form, hone in on their interests, and enlighten others on the ways to change their financial future with NRU! Watch your email for more details.

Winners Circle 2007 – personal production only will be included in 2007— no INSA/IRA overrides will be included, no marketing materials or promotional items included, and no event funds will be included! This year, the Winners Circle contest will be for the highest sales volume in 3 consecutive months with Winners announced on the first Chancellor’s Call of 2008*. The destination….a PRIVATE, MEGA- YACHT CHARTER, where Winners will spend one entire week sailing the MEDITERRANEAN!

The best time to go out and put these new systems, strategies and enhanced technologies into practice is NOW! “Use the tools and systems, build on what we’ve created for you…we want you to come with us on the Winners Circle trip!” – Bob Snyder

*Contest rules and prize details subject to change.

Nouveau Riche University - Feature Story in May/June 2007 issue of Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine!

Feature Story: In May/June 2007 issue of Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine Building Wealth Through Property Investment

Master Investor Jim Piccolo
Moving Students from Smart to Successful
University of Real Estate Investing
By Scott C. Seckel

Nouveau Riche University is honored to announce the feature story on Jim Piccolo, NRU Co-founder, CEO and President, and Nouveau Riche University in the May/June 2007 issue of PERSONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MAGAZINE! Appropriately dubbed a “Master Investor,” Jim Piccolo divulges the story behind the creation of NRU, bringing to light the “better alternative” known to those with the good fortune of being introduced to the NRU Community.

“This master investor’s story is about discovering the benefits of real estate investment and the passion to pass on his revelations….Unlike the gurus…he went about teaching by actually caring that his students profited by the education they paid for, and that the education had universal value.”

Here are some excerpts from the article:

His story began when he realized how well the real estate associated with what his 28 companies were doing. "Wait a minute - we bought this building for $1 million and now it's worth $4 million, and maybe we made a half million a year on the bottom line over the last three years," he said. "We made more money just owning the real estate than we did running the business. That kind of got me excited about real estate and doing more with it...

Back to Piccolo's bad day. Eighty-five percent of the students, both the $20 book buyers and the $50,000 seminar junkies, weren't buying real estate. He put the seminar junkies in a separate group and asked them why they hadn't bought any homes after dropping $30,000 to $50,000 on learning how to. "The top reason was fear," he said. "Fear is born from lack of confidence. Lack of confidence is born from lack of education... We thought we needed to learn more about learning. That was the turning point for Nouveau Riche. The only way to learn more about learning was to go find an expert on learning..."

He and his partners hired a PhD from San Diego State to teach them about learning. They found out about a very simple process, used by every university in the country, called instructional systems design. Piccolo gather every piece of real estate education. "Every book, CD, tape, eight-track - it filled a room." The PhD and his team tore apart all the information and found about 20,000 things you need to know to be a residential real estate investor. They brought in subject matter experts, who categorized all the knowledge. "There was information about mortgages. There was information about landlording. There was information about legal, how to structure yourself. There was information about taxes, renovation - a whole big bucket of information..."

In Piccolo's lap sat two things: a strict set of academic criteria and the knowledge that not all of his students had been to college. "We found that gap, and we built a preference-driven system," he said. "When a customer joins Nouveau Riche University, they decide they want a tuition package... They fill out a personal preference questionnaire. We're going to teach you what you want to know..."

"The gurus are going to stand up in front of a room full of a thousand people and say, 'This is my system. Do as I do.' Realistically, less than 25 percent of that group has a specific interest in that particular preference." Why study medicine if you want to learn about law? Why learn about renovation when you want to learn about hard money?...

NRU has a 93 percent customer approval rating. The school grew 500 percent in 2006. More than 3,000 students will have enrolled by the end of this summer... "We went back and did a survey of our investors," Piccolo said. "Sixty-seven percent of the have purchased real estate. We built a curriculum around the way people learn, and that's what sets us apart. We've made real estate investment education legitimate...."

Nouveau Riche University Recap of the Monday, December 11th Breakout Session with CEO Jim Piccolo

Admin — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 06:44:01 -0800

Were you in Scottsdale Monday night for the special breakout session with our CEO Jim Piccolo?

The jam-packed session (estimated at over 1000 Community Members), was filled with energy and excitement, as our CEO Jim Piccolo offered a glimpse into the future of NRU and the growing list of Community benefits. We continue our mission to make your Community and College experience even better, and to help take our investors to the next level!

Nouveau Riche University offers a real estate educational experience unlike any other and our phenomenal growth speaks volumes: our revenue for the single day of 12/1/06 increased by 134% from the entire month of January 2006.

How do we continue the trend?

To reach the next level, we need to “do everything we can to build a better product, better distribution method, better tools to get the word out, and most importantly, continue to build this Community!”

Jim offered his gratitude to each of you, our valued Community members, by stating: “What you have is phenomenal and what you’ve done is even more phenomenal - you believe and take action for yourself, and then help spread the word to others! “It’s not about us (the Founders) – this Company is successful because of you!”

Here’s the latest Community scoop…

Cutting-Edge Technology: S.M.A.R.T. System – Student Multi-Functional Automated Results Tracking – new technology to improve your educational experience. This new System will be used throughout the classrooms, starting at our April College. These electronic devices will be used for your class assessments and
surveys. They will send information instantly to the instructor, so that instructors may hone in on topics Students aren’t grasping during the class, and will help instructors “read the pulse of the class.”

New Marketing Tool: Live Income Opportunity Presentation 75-minute DVD – “the most powerful method of communication, with respect to selling product, is word of mouth!” This outstanding tool will help you share presentations long distance. (More information on obtaining this presentation on DVD and/or online, coming soon!)

NRU ISA Community Newsletter: American Dream: Reflections of “U” - a “scrapbook” of Community photos of our journey, helping us stay connected as we continue to grow.

Real Market Experts® - Steve Taplin passes on the torch with the announcement of the new President of The Real Market Experts: Craig Cottrell. “We don’t just educate you; we provide a way to build your wealth.”

Special Community Offer - Irv Wilson, President of The Real Market Experts of Phoenix franchise, announced 100 fully- renovated condos in Mesa with 2-year tenant warranty – “If it’s not rented within 2 years, RME will pay the rent!” This is just one example of how we’re working to leverage relationships to go after multiple units and negotiate on behalf of thousands of investors. This is the first of many deals to come!
