Disciplined Investing
Mastering the Art of the Flip
Mastering the art of wealth creation takes
time, it takes dedication, and most impor-
tantly, it takes direction - guidance from
a wise investor who has himself mastered
his own destiny through smart investment
strategies.
Sensei Gilliland, Founder and Presi-
dent of Black Belt Investors, has trained
hundreds of investors to grow their
wealth through his “action oriented and
results focused” training programs. Uti-
lizing discipline gained through years of
martial arts training, Sensei has created
a program designed for all levels
of investors who need guid-
ance and direction and
who desire to create a
real estate business
that is cash flowing
tens of thousands
of dollars every
month.
Every experi-
enced, or “black
belt” investor, was
once a “white belt”
(beginner). He did not
attain to his advanced posi-
tion overnight; his knowl-
edge increased as he put
a transaction - you’re flipping real estate
without the risk.
Black Belt Investors is unlike many oth-
er real estate consulting, educa-
tion and investment firms.
“I truly believe that if you
want to become a real es-
tate entrepreneur and cre-
ate your real estate cash
machine,” shared Sensei,
“you need proper training
by an experienced instruc-
tor that practices what
he teaches. You
also

tor to take

to go around it, over it, through it or under
it. If you can learn that from your coach,
you will find yourself in a profitable posi-
tion. I know with a few of my realty-based
techniques, you will be able to pass any
obstacle and get paid.”
“One thing about Black Belt Investors,”
shared Sensei, “is that one of our primary
goals is keeping our investors engaged all
the time. We’re not a fly by night company
that trains students for 3 days and leaves
them to do the work on their own. We’re a
company that reaches out to help the stu-
dent to get to the next level. We accom-
plish this through my coaching program
which is directly with me and not through
a call-in center that answers questions
from a script. We also keep investors en-
gaged through multiple free webinars,
workshops, on-site mentoring and my
free monthly real estate club meetings in
Southern California, which keeps me ac-
countable as I must show my face there
every single month. If I was over promis-
ing and under delivering, then I would be
exposed at that club meeting. Our inves-
tors keep coming back because they’re en-
gaged, and when they’re engaged they be-

train on his own, rather he had a teacher
that led the way.
It’s vital that you find a successful men-
tor, someone who is interested in helping
you achieve your business goals. If you’re
looking for immediate cash, wholesaling
is the best place to begin. Black Belt In-
vestors will train and coach you on how
to control properties and create immediate
cash without the use of cash, without the
use of credit, and without the use of loans.
Basically, you become the middle man of

to getting paid. There’s a lot of real estate
trainers and gurus out there that just pro-
mote fluff and stuff. They glamorize real
estate to be extremely easy and profitable
all the time, and yes, real estate can be ex-
tremely profitable, but the reality is, you’re
going to have to do some work. Deals are
not going to fall in your lap, deals are cre-
ated. Just know that you will have some
deals that are extremely easy that will put
cash in your pocket quickly and with oth-

is if you were to unplug yourself.”
You will learn by doing. “If I were to
train you to wholesale properties, we
would develop a battle plan, grab your
hand to lead you onto the field, and start
doing the business. There is nothing bet-
ter than hands-on training,” shared Sen-
sei. “Think about it, if you were to learn
