How Spirepoint Started

I started Spirepoint in 2004 but it wasn't originally about financial education - it was about real estate investing.  

I had bought a few properties at that time and was trying to attract investors to expand my real estate portfolio.  I figured a website would be a great way to do that... and it was!  

Over the years, I pivoted the website to offering online training courses about real estate investing, and then expanded to other cash flow and wealth building topics - things I had been interested in for many years before I bought my first property.

In fact, this story goes back even earlier in my life...

What Do The Rich Do?

Since I was very young, I always had a fascination with making money.

From collecting coins and stamps to running a lemonade stand to even writing a book report on money (including attached coins!) - I tried many different things.

In my early 20s, I decided to get more serious about it and research how people become wealthy and what they invest in.

After reading many magazines, books and courses, I discovered the wealthy focus on 3 main areas:

• Businesses
• Paper Assets (stocks, options, bonds, etc.)
• and Real Estate

Sometimes they built wealth using a business, and stored it long-term in real estate.  Other times they built wealth in real estate, and stored it long-term in paper assets.

But almost always they focused on a combination of these 3 things.

My $2,000 Discovery

I realized my first step was to get my personal finances in shape.  If I was going to invest in real estate or trade stocks, I would need capital!

I was in college at the time, and one night I was watching TV and I saw an infomercial for a free seminar in my area on improving your finances, investing and starting a business.

It was exactly what I needed.

I attended the event and they were selling a home study program at the end of the night. I didn't have the money (I was a broke student!) so I drove home and somehow convinced my mom to give me the money.

Now the pressure was on... I HAD to show some results!

After reviewing the course, I discovered some areas where my mom could save money on her taxes and maybe get a tax refund.

After filing an adjustment for her tax returns, she received a check for over $2,000.  

I was hooked! (and so was my mom) 

Business, Real Estate, Stocks and more

After that initial success, I wanted to learn more about finances and investing, but what should I do next?

I had no idea what was best for me and my talents and skills, so I tried a variety of different things to see what worked (at least for me).

Here are a few examples...

• Setting up a home-based business
• Tax planning and savings
• Buying a House, and Renting rooms to roommates
• Real Estate investing, including renovations, flips, and more
• Raising JV Capital, retirement funds, and more to fund deals
  (that's how this website got started!)
• Starting an Online Business and selling products online
• Stock Market investing for cash flow
• Bitcoin & Crypto-currency investing and cash flow
• And more

Not everything was very successful, but the experience I gained from trying different things was invaluable. 

For example, I wanted to try real estate investing, and I figured buying a home and renting out rooms to roommates would give me some ‘practice’…

• Dealing with tenants
• Collecting rents
• Managing expenses, etc.

This worked very well!   I learned a LOT about taxation, money management, and dealing with people (the most important thing in real estate).

I also learned why you should never rent rooms only to guys, and never only to girls – always have a mix of both 🙂
