Tired of Being In Foreclosure?
Are you feeling tired of your foreclosure situation and don’t know what to do? I remember a young lady who was just so overwhelmed in the midst of her foreclosure and financial demise that she literally felt stuck. She was up to her eyeballs in debt and tired of going in and out of foreclosure with her family home. Well what do you think I told her? That’s right I gave her my quick and easy four step formula for getting unstuck and stopping foreclosure. And now I’m going to share those same four steps with you.
It doesn’t matter how stuck you are I promise you this simple Four Step Formula will work for you. This plan will and can work for every person who is in foreclosure.

But the truth is you can always recreate the type of lifestyle you want to have. Simply identify where you are and get started!
What Could Be Worse than Foreclosure?
Okay now, if you’re facing foreclosure then let me ask you a question. “What if there is something happening right now that is worse than your current foreclosure situation?” I know you’re thinking, “nothing could be worse than what I’m going through.” But, let me tell you a quick story about a homeowner named Ron who lost his family home last year.
Ron had a few great ideas and business plans for developing a practical and powerful home-based business. But what do you think he was missing? You guessed it - money to get his business started.

The only thing worse than being in foreclosure is being in foreclosure while having an idea that will get you out, but no money to get started. So let me share some powerful ideas with you to help you raise the money.

Why Not Take Five Steps to a Powerful Mental Attitude?
Do you feel there are some things that are so easy to get into but so hard to get out of? Isn’t that the way life seems to be sometimes? I can clearly remember a time when I was in foreclosure and I felt exactly the way you may be feeling. Foreclosure is one of those things. I felt stuck! Yes I have been there! And believe me when I tell you that I have solutions that can help you develop the right mental attitude. Read this post and download my free offer.
If you’ve lived any length of time anywhere you know this already. The many social issues that lead to foreclosure are easy to fall prey to. Divorce, sickness, loss of employment, a death in the family, drug abuse and emotional depression are just a few. When was the last time you even met someone who was not threatened by at least one of these problems?
When facing foreclosure one must maintain the proper mental attitude. If you allow your mind to slip into the mental slump of depression or despair you will mentally give up long before the foreclosure process has really even happened.
You cannot allow yourself to become weighed down or overwhelmed by the financial woes you face. Think for a moment, “Am I weighed down under the financial burden of my finances? Am I stuck and immobilized in the midst of my mess? Often times you may feel this weigh but you can change those feelings by choosing different and more powerful ones for yourself.
Did you think for a moment that you had to allow your feelings to run wild and take over the way you think and act? Well you don’t. You can continue to drive your feelings by your power to create and think powerful thoughts. Take action on your most powerful thoughts and you will notice how good feelings naturally follow.
By becoming depressed you will loose your ability to think, act and strategize effectively and therefore you will end up making poor decisions. So do you have to allow depression, hurt or anger to take over? Once again the answer is no. Once you realize that you’re going to have some good days and some bad days and that on the bad days you can choose how you think and feel about your situation you will discover greater power.
Can you imagine what attitude is necessary in order to “WIN” in a foreclosure crisis? You need an attitude of a champion, a conquer or a victor. Have you ever watched a movie or read a book where the hero or champion went through great adversity but finally won? Well think about your favorite hero, or champion movie character. There’s is the attitude you need.
It’s the mental toughness of a champion that leads to a great positive attitude. It is the courageous outlook that says, “no matter what happens to me in the ‘middle’ I know I’m going to win in the end.” This mental attitude will give you a quite but passionate power.
Can you imagine riding the winds of this powerful mental attitude all day long? See yourself transforming days of powerlessness and helplessness into amazing hours of productive research. Envision yourself turning situations around by coming on the scene with a brand new fresh perspective driven by a view of yourself as merely going through some stormy weather now but really indestructable in the end.
Here are Five Steps to a Powerful Mental Attitude.
1. Get up early in the morning and don’t give into the urge to sleep in.
2. Keep yourself and your surroundings clean and tidy, don’t allow your body or your living environment to turn into a mess.
3. Maintain a high level of physical fitness
4. Eat high energy, high fiber, nutritious food
5. Keep your mind positive, confident and sharp
6. Think, feel and act like a millionaire while not denying that the bank is seeking to foreclose on your home. Acknowledge and declare to yourself that you will win.

Need Foreclosure Process Knowledge and Education? - Part 2
Do you want to solve your foreclosure problem but just don’t know where to begin? Are you wanting to pay your bills and get out of foreclosure but feel stuck and trapped and treated unfairly by the bank and lender?
Don, an established worker in the oil and gas industry, lived a life of responsibility and integrity until he had an accident on the job. He has not been able to pay his mortgage for the last three months. He has called the bank every month for the last three months but they refused to talk to him about making up late or missed payments.
Now I ask you, “How do you think Don can talk to a banker or lender who says “we refuse to talk to you while you are in arrears?” Believe me when when I say that he can. I’ll show you how right here in this post.
The conversation about the USA home owner foreclosure continues and many are wondering what the government can do to solve the problem. While they are working on figuring that out, I want to have a conversation with you about what you can do to solve the problem.
- This is largely a conversation about individual responsibility. Let me take a quick poll or survey of the American foreclosure population.
How many who are currently in foreclosure feel personally responsible for the situation they are on? How many do you think are working towards doing something to solve their problem?
Well I would venture to say that among the few who fully take personal responsibility for their own foreclosure problem most feel absolutely helpless or unable to do something about their situation.
You may ask the question “What can I do about the foreclosure that I am facing? That is exactly what we will be discussing in the upcoming blogs.
- For now I strongly encourage you to download the free e-book at the top right hand corner of this post called “Stop Foreclosure and Build Wealth.”
It is a completely free package of three totally free e books. They are absolutely jammed full of vital information that offer you the knowledge, wisdom and guidance to start taking the right steps towards stopping your foreclosure and starting to build wealth.
- You do want to acquire the knowledge you need to make wise choices don’t you? Well, I encourage you to act now. Download this package now and follow the directions.
- You will also want to take advantage of some of the other links and programs that are in the sidebar. Have you ever wished you had a financial genius or coach by your side to offer you new ideas, coaching and guidance while going through your problem?
- You will find that coaching and teaching in the sidebar. I have carefully selected these programs to powerfully help you deal with your financial problems no matter where you may be in the foreclosure process.
- I have also created the Online Foreclosure Doctor Community Forum. This is a safe place where you can interact with others who are searching for solutions to their foreclosure situation. You can also dialogue with me or some of the other experts on my team.
- I have outlined a number of powerful actions or steps you can take right now towards solving your foreclosure crisis problem. Taking powerful action in the midst of this crisis is the real mark of whether or not you are doing the right thing. In doing so you acknowledge that as owner of the house you are in you are 100% responsible for your situation
- I know there is much temptation blame unscrupulous lenders. The constant conversation about who is to blame and who should find a solution is overwhelming to fully embrace. Now I’m not saying that you must refuse any outside help from government or outside sources. That certainly would not be wise.
- I’m simply highlighting the fact that you must choose to move to the forefront of any solution creation process. I understand that much of the focus right now is on the crisis created by the sub-prime mortgage industry. But while it is true that bankers gave loans to many who were clearly not able to pay it is also true that many borrowers borrowed much more than they were able to pay.
- If you’re in such a mortgage right now then honesty and truthfulness at every level is a great place to start. I’ll talk more about this in the next post. For now, simply acknowledging that their is a problem because you signed up for a mortgage that you could not afford is a big step.
- You see the truth is most who are in foreclosure are truly powerless and they feel it on every level. Wouldn’t you agree? The mounting debt, the destroyed credit and the diminishing monthly income all point to a foreclosure crisis that is right now looming for many. So you know now or you knew all along that you just could not afford this mortgage.
- Let’s tell the truth about our financial problems. The moment we start telling the truth about our finances we begin to be powerful. You do want to get your power back don’t you? The moment we start to take full responsibility for the crisis we are in and stop blaming others for it we begin to regain our power. Did you ever imagine it was so simple?
It is sometimes easy to blame others for the problems we face because we feel a temporary release from the pain. But that doesn’t last does it? It doesn’t last because on the other side of the coin of “blame someone else” is “take your responsibility”
By blaming the bank or the mortgage broker or the government we give all our power, responsibility and authority away to the ones we blame. Is that what you want to do? If we begin our day by telling ourselves “we are not able to do anything about our situation” we abdicate the throne of our lives and we surrender our power and authority.
This is the beginning of a terrible trap. The result of this way of thinking is that we end up helpless, weak and locked away in a prison of our own creation. We don’t do anything to solve our problem because we simply will not let ourselves.
Eventually we end up like that deer in the headlights you’ve heard everyone talk about. Caught between ignorance and dissallusionment leaves us with only one alternative. What’s that you ask? Doing nothing about our situation. Many are caught wondering “how in the world did I get to this place?”
Well we all know how we got to where we are in life. We get to where we get by the choices we make. We are the drivers of our own humanity sitting behind the wheel of our lives and steering ourselves in the direction we are going.
Indeed each man or woman is the director of their destiny and the master of their fate. And the moment you begin to take full and complete responsibility for where you are financially is the moment you will begin to think the thoughts necessary to transform your situation.
In my next post I’m going to write about the right attitude one should adopt while in foreclosure if you really want to get out. Continue coming to this blog and reading these post. I promise you will great, valuable, thematic and powerful information. Every post will take you one step closer to where you need to be.

Need Foreclosure Process Knowledge and Education? - Part 1
What factors enter into plunging people into foreclosure?
Sharon’s sister passed away about six months ago. Her niece went to live with Sharon’s mom. Last week Sharon’s dad died. She is bravely pushing on and has welcomed our help to solve her foreclosure situation.
A death in the family, loss of a job, divorce or spousal separation or declining health are issues that usually tend to plunge people into foreclosure. Then, of course, there are other reasons such as illicit drug use, poor budgeting and spending habits, and bad financial decisions.
- In this post I want to discuss some of the social issues that push one into a position of foreclosure. I will also present some viable ways of addressing not just the foreclosure itself but the social situation behind the foreclosure. Isn’t that the real issue anyways? Now before I continue let me take a moment to encourage you to download the Guide to Stopping Foreclosure and Building Wealth
Often times even if the impacting events or underlying situation behind the foreclosure are not preventable. An individual has a choice of how to act, behave and respond to negative social events so that foreclosure does not become a threat. But since most people don’t know this, they allow the social event to dictate their actions.
Then they tell the bank a hardship story and hope that the bank understands or their lender will be merciful. Don’t get me wrong now. It is important to know how to tell a hardship story to your lender at times.
- But do you think that will be enough? Of course not! One must have a viable and real means of getting the money to solve the problem. Usually this means one must find a way to overcome social issues which may have impacted ones financial situation.
Foreclosure affect all demographics of people. It doesn’t matter if what gender, race, color, ethnicity, language or nationality an individual may be. The threat of foreclosure looms for all of us as long as we are subject to the effects of social problems of death, job loss, divorce or a decline in health.
Foreclosure is really a symptom of a larger social problem that lurks somewhere in an individual’s life. For the most part foreclosure properties are owned by people who mean well and desire to pay but for some reason or another have lost the ability to pay.
- So when it comes to stopping foreclosure it is important to look for a long-term solution to the real problem. However developing the resilience needed to recover from any social issue one may go through is not taught in school. And so for many who are facing the threat of losing their family home, knowledge of what to do is totally foreign.
But would you love to know how to stop your foreclosure situation right now? I know for certain you don’t want to see a big sign on your lawn saying, “foreclosed home for sale”. Well you ask yourself the question what must I do to stop my foreclosure from happening?
- Well the bottom line is you need money! Frankly, the only thing that can stop your foreclosure is more money. There is no other way for the bank to get off your back and for the creditors to quit calling except for you are able to find a way to make more money and pay the bills.
So what are some of the hidden challenges that lie behind the task of “making more money”? We all know that’s where the real problem lies. And solving that problem will usually place you in a position where you naturally know how to solve your financial problem.
It’s not surprising that anybody who is going through storms of personal financial deficiency may feel a sense of hopelessness. Haven’t you thrown up your hands in despair and naturally felt overcome with feelings as you think “How can I save my home”? The funny thing is that as you get online and search for “foreclosure help” most of what you find are simple bandaid solutions.
- Who online is offering real solutions for people who are in foreclosure? Most get stuck in what I call the foreclosure ruts and there is no one who can really help. This is so because very few programs even begin to address the real underlying issue behind what caused the foreclosure to begin with. So an individual may get out of foreclosure temporarily but soon they find themselves back in foreclosure.
This trap becomes an additional financial drain on one’s finances because of the incurring legal cost assessed in going through a round of foreclosure. The foreclosure process itself sucks up extra cash in legal fees since the lawyers that file the foreclosure lawsuit usually charge you - the victim of foreclosure – for their fees.
- So in reality you end up inadvertently paying a law firm to foreclose on you. Do you really want to do that? No not at all. But through proper knowledge, wisdom and guidance you can stop this vicious cyclical process. That is why I encourage you to sign up for the Guide to Stopping Foreclosure and Building Wealth today. It will guide you to a greater understanding of the foreclosure process.
Now of course this is not the place where you want to stop. It is not enough stop the foreclosure process. Why not use this crisis as an opportunity to figure out what is necessary for you to start building wealth? I encourage you to not only download this free Guide to Stopping Foreclosure and Building Wealth but also join the Foreclosure Doctor Community Forum and start taking advantage of some powerful knowledge that can change your lives.

Think to Stop Foreclosure And Build Wealth!
Are you in foreclosure, broke, and thinking about how bad things are and how much of a failure you are?
Luke told me last week that is exactly what his situation was. After talking with him, he realized the future wasn’t as bleak as he had thought. There was hope! This wasn’t the end. He could protect what he had built up through hard work.
- What you don’t know is that your feelings about being broke and poor contribute to keeping you broke and poor. The thoughts that you think so consistently eventually seep into your sub-conscience mind and become a part of your emotional feelings.
Now don’t get me wrong. If you’re facing foreclosure right now, please don’t think I’m trying to marginalize your situation or minimize your experience. I’m not trying in the least to make light of your current situation. I’m simply inviting you to consider some powerful tools for breaking free financially.
What is it that you really want for yourself and your family? What kind of life do you want to live? What kind of financial reality do you want for yourself? Is the life you are living now with your constant debt and lack of money the kind of life you really want to live?
I always ask this question – even of myself. When you were little and didn’t know anything of life’s troubles, did you dream of this life? During those moments of childhood when you believed you can become any anything you wanted to become, was this life of lack and constant want a part of your dreams?
Most would agree that the financial demise they are currently in was not a part of their childhood dreams. During those early days of life’s beginnings they knew for sure what they wanted for there life and this wasn’t that life. They were not living that life of their childhood dreams.
- One thing that can help you recover from your current financial situation and turn your life around is to recall and remember your childhood dreams.
Have you ever wondered whatever happened to those dreams? Where did your life go so badly off course? How did you lose the dreams of those early years and what caused you to veer off course?
- In order to fully realize what you and I want, we must plan our lives by the thoughts we think. Somewhere along the way we all tend to lose sight of our dreams because we think the wrong thoughts.
- Even for many who are not in financial demise thinking the right thoughts can greatly enhance your life and bring back the childhood dreams you may have forgotten. That’s why I encourage you to check out the Wealth Beyond Reason.
- Finally a program that is dedicated to helping you think the thoughts necessary to help you regain your dreams by thinking the right thoughts. Can you imagine having the power to change your life by directing the thoughts you think?
Right now it is hard to imagine or even consider that you can take full responsibility for the entirety of your life. But what if you could? Would that not be a powerful place to be? By taking responsibility for the financial failures in your life you also get the power to take responsibility for your success and victories.
This simply means you get to acknowledge that by the power you have to choose you can create the life you want. By remembering your dreams and goals and choosing the steps that will bring you to those places you will get to where you really want to be.
Then on those nights when you reflect on those dreams of childhood and you see they’ve turned into reality you will know that your choosing to bring them into existence began with powerful thoughts.

West On Fire, East In a Storm, Middle Underwater - What’s Going On?
Don’t you just want to turn out the media ‘cause every story makes you ask “What in the world is going on?”
One part of our nation is sweltering in the heat of the summer. Or, it’s fast-burning fires in California. Tornadoes on the eastern seaboard. Boats floating down the flooded streets of Midwestern cities. One farmer said he was raising bass, not corn! He needed a fishing rod - not a tractor!
Are you in the midst of foreclosure proceedings with not much time left? What do you do when there seems to be so much catastrophe happening around you? How do you handle all these negative events when they seem to happened to you all at once?
- Well let me first offer a word of support and encouragement for anyone going through a financial crisis right now. There is something powerful that we can learn from all these American catastrophes. And trust me, you can apply this powerful lesson to your life and teach it to your family.
- What is the great lesson? It is simply the hidden but potent truth that lies at the bottom of every problem. “Trouble Don’t Last Always!” No matter who you are or what you are facing there is this powerful truth that can spur you on because trouble is short-lived!
Think about it, the storm comes for a moment and then it’s gone. The fire burns incessantly for a while and then it’s gone. The flood waters rise in a single overwhelming occasion and then they do subside. Nothing last forever because it all comes with its own timer and then it expires.
So you’re facing foreclosure and you’re wondering “when will my financial storm pass?” That depends to a large degree on you. I’ve noticed that for the most part folks who are facing foreclosure tend to not deal with it in the same way that they deal with other natural disasters. There is a tendency to inaction and harboring a belief that somehow the financial storm clouds will blow away, the waters of debt will subside and the fire-storm will end.
- But when I say “Trouble Don’t Last Always!” I’m speaking not simply of the reality that it will pass on its own but also of the fact that when we are in it we can do things to help it pass faster. This is what we must learn to do when facing foreclosure. And this is why I am offering the Free Foreclosure Report. By accumulating the right knowledge and information about the foreclosure process we are really helping the problem pass faster.
Have you ever paused to think about how we deal with trouble? We get out the fire hoses and drench out our fires. We build sandbag levies and baracades to keep the flood waters back. We pump out flooded basements and drain streets. We brace against the storm in shelters or safe-harbors. Nobody simply sits there and lets the trouble pass. We work to make trouble pass.
Either we decide to stay where we are and ride out the storm or we choose to leave and find safety, shelter and security somewhere else. If you’re facing the trouble of foreclosure consider it as a storm or a fire or a flood! Let’s think that way for a moment.
- First of all you must decide for yourself right now, “How am I going to handle this? Is this the type of storm I can ride out or should I run and leave the house? Can I really get a grip on these financial flames that threaten to engulfs my life or should I let it just go up in smoke? If I stay can I float above the financial flood waters or will I drown in my own debts?
These are poignant soul-searching and heart-wrenching questions. But they are real and must be asked.
Imagine yourself after your time of trouble – knowing that you made it through simply because you had the courage to ask the right questions and get the right knowledge. See yourself safe and secure on a solid financial future and realize that you went through something but you and your family survived it.
- I assure you that the Free Foreclosure Report is a first step towards a dramatic shift in your situation. It will provide you with the initial information you need to help this trouble pass and definitely create for yourself the kind of life you want after the time of trouble is passed.
Feel free to share your comments about this post and ask questions. I will gladly answer and offer my advice for every situation. Do bookmark this blog or subscribe to it and check it daily. By working together with powerful support services you will make it through.

Stories about price increases for basic goods and services pin point the news every day. It just seems like everyone is feeling the crunch. From parents to children and in every market there is a clear increase in cost. We are paying more just to live and exist in the land of the free and the home of the brave. And besides that so many are facing foreclosure of their family home.
What is interesting is that the entire family is affected. From hard working parents to young people working their way through school there seems to be rising costs for books, food, housing and of course, gas. Even children are feeling a corresponding cut in their allowances.
Single parents are affected more than regular two parent ones because they would most likely bring in less in terms of income. Most times single-parent households would have to rely on additional means of raising money or structure themselves so they can leverage their time into more money.
But what does all this mean? How do we handel the challenge of rising consumer prices while dealing with foreclosure? Fortunately for we human beings change, adaptation and adjustment are things we do well even though we experience much discomfort in the process. So I decided to give some vital tips for coping and surviving these tough financial times.
- Learning how to raise more money through leverage-based investing is an exciting and plausible means of generating the income needed to cope with the rising cost of living. Those who can turn a couple of extra real estate flips or successfully do day trading in the stock market are better positioned to survive.
- Others who have extra skills are looking to those as sources of extra income. Abilities like teaching piano lessons, baby sitting, gardening, baking, and house or office cleaning, or even renting out a basement or an extra room are effective ways of bring in extra income. Being innovative and creative with your current resources can greatly increase your ability to earn extra money.
Price of food continues to rise and growing children are hungry. Doesn’t it just seem like there’s no end in site? You’re probably wondering “How in the world can I feed my children when the financial pressures seem to squeeze from all angles? Well we must change as the world changes. We must resist the lure to become comfortable.
- Well are you willing to change your eating habits? Why not try something new? Cutting out fast food and junk food all together and reducing the amount of trips to your favorite restaurant can help. Planning your meals and cooking balanced, healthy meals at home is an important idea for coping with this dramatic rise in the cost of living as well.
- But one of the most powerful tips you can employ is change or adaptation in the way you make your money. First of all I encourage you to download the Free Foreclosure Report and read it thoroughly. Now I strongly encourage you to choose one of the packages that are in the sidebar on the right. Take advantage of the low cost offer to enhance your personal life and change your philosophy by adopting the right knowledge and information.
The number one tip for winning the global price rise is to realize that the world is changing. The world must change in order to cope with economic change. Therefore you must change too. It is not enough to make changes to your world around you. You must change yourself. You must change your mind. Doing what you normally do simply will not work anymore.

Elliot Spitzer’s Next Act: Buy Distressed Real Estate
Do you believe there are people in this world who actually seek to profit off of the misfortune of others?
Today the Wall Street Journal Reports the former New York governor Eliot Spitzer who was forced out of office after news of his sex scandal broke, is reportedly considering his next act — in distressed real estate.
What this most likely means is that the former governor of New York is going to setup one of those yellow sign establishment businesses that advertise saying “I Buy Houses”. People who do this intend to lure unsuspecting homeowners who are going through difficult financial times into their trap and seek to take their house
These kind of programs are usually easy to spot. They often promise to pay off the arrears and rent the house back to you. However, very seldom do they offer to give you any of your equity. They may try to pressure you into a deal with them by playing on your fears. They may typically say something like, “You know Sir/Madam, the way I see it you are going to lose your house anyways and the bank would give you nothing.”
But if you sign it over to me I’ll rent it back to you and get it all cleared up for you. I’ll even be willing to give you five or ten thousand dollars. I’ll pay off some of your creditors and get them off your back. Then they advise you that there is no equity left in your home because you are already in foreclosure.
- I strongly advise anyone who is in foreclosure to do all in their power to avoid using the services of these kind of organizations. There is much more you can do first before resorting to this kind of measure. I am going to give you a step-by-step process to follow if you happen to be in foreclosure right now.
Please don’t get me wrong. Some of these organizations may actually perform a good service. They may be creative and genuinely interested in helping you solve your problem. They may have a good idea and a functional solution they can put in place that can safe-guard your interest in the property. They may operate with full disclosure and use papered documents without any fine print.
But, who do you think is going to end up with the equity in the property? You? Them? Is that what you want? Is your money better in your pocket than in theirs? Will you just walk away and let them have you equity? It is amazing how many people do just that. Or they accept far below what their house is really worth because they are in foreclosure and they don’t know any different.
- In order for you to find a good organization to work with, you need to shop around. Take matters into your own hands and create a solution that is rooted in knowledge and understanding. Become powerful in your knowledge and awareness of the foreclosure laws and process in your state. And that’s not hard to do. You can simply download the Free Foreclosure Report .
Steps to Take When Facing Foreclosure
1. Don’t Panic - when you panic you end up making poor decisions
2. Don’t ignore Bank or Court Notices, or phone calls
2. Educate yourself on the Foreclosure Law and Process in Your State
3. Know exactly how much you are in arrears
4. Know exactly how much your house is worth right now.
5. Ask lots of questions and seek bonifide help
6. Prepare to sell your house privately but slightly below market value for a quick sale.
7. Structure a rent-to–own with someone
8. Seek ways to get more money such as renting out a room or a basement
