Will “Power” Duquette Delivers as a Success Coach, pg. 83 THE SHIFT Will Duquette says Donald Trump offers the classic example of how wealthy people think differently. When Trump was $900 million in debt, he didn’t hide like most would. So what did he do? Operating from that millionaire mindset, he attended a cocktail party with those creditors that he owed $900 million to. Gutsy, right. Yet, in a side room at that event, Trump surrounded himself with this mastermind group, and not only seriously discounted this sum, but leveraged their wisdom to craft a massive success plan. Trump is now worth almost $9 BILLION, and is run- ning for U.S. president. So if you want different results, you’ve got to take differ- ent actions. But beyond just curating the success habits of others; Duquette has lived it himself. When he was young, he was always told that his family couldn’t afford things. When he found out that he was going to have his own child – that’s when it changed everything, and created a new sense of urgency. He didn’t want that to be the story he had to tell his daughter. Still, he admits that it took several shifts and years for him to make his own ultimate leap. Because most of what he teaches today just wasn’t shared or known back then. HOW WILL GOT THE POWER IN 7 QUICK STEPS: 1. Got fired from the rat race after calling in sick for having pneumonia 2. Opened his own business 3. Began investing in real estate to make bigger chunks of money 4. Discovered the power of blind faith belief 5. Accepted his ‘license to make mistakes’ 6. Learned how to manage and change his own perspec- tive on happiness 7. Decided his apex was in significance through helping others, not just making money THE 4 KEYS TO WILL’S PERSONAL SUCCESS When Duquette started on his adventure the close-knit group that was banking huge in speaking and sales weren’t sharing their secrets. They kept those closely guarded. Yet, he found a way. And he credits his own success to four main factors. • Vowing to never give up • Modeling success wherever he could find it • Investing big in education • Just taking action Realty411Guide.com Duquette says the really significant quantum leaps came when he forced himself to step out of his comfort zone and chose to “pay more than comfortable with” for better train- ing. In one case that meant putting $10K on a credit card to really learn how to take his game to the next level. And today, Will might not notice if ten thousand dollars dropped out of his billfold on the way to the podium. UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES ON REAL ESTATE Duquette trains real estate speakers and investors, and still invests in real estate himself. While you may find him gracing the stage at events in London, Prague, and Ger- many, Duquette’s home base is in Jacksonville, FL. While often overlooked by others; ‘Jax’ is the largest city in the contiguous United States, and the most populous city in Florida. It has also been praised by RealtyTrac as offering the biggest profit margins for house flippers. But you don’t have to tell Duquette that. He once bought a half a million dollar home with just $10 out of pocket, and has mastered a transaction engineering skill set that allows him to invest in many properties with nothing down. Duquette says it is all about “looking for problems and finding solutions.” While he says that world travel and international train- ing has revealed that all people essentially have the same fears, challenges, and belief issues, he himself certainly has a unique perspective, and style, that is proving itself with dollars and changed lives. He claims to be perhaps one of the only people to not have lost a penny in 17 years of real estate investing. His high energy, experiential real estate events that include live deal making have produced profits for attendees before they are done with their homework. And the ‘Profits in Pretty Houses’ course is reportedly one of the first and only to include a flow chart so that in- vestors are never stuck, or wondering what comes next. Looking forward Duquette says the market is just like it was seventeen years ago, only better. “Because all the fun- damentals are right, but others are scared to take advantage of the opportunities on sale.” As well as noting that rather than hurting his business, “massive buying sprees by hedge funds have actually helped” his business, as “they have depleted inventory levels”, and make his properties more in demand.
