Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

The Best is Yet To Come.

If you think listening to your guiding voice and suddenly the end game manifests,

YOU ARE LIVING IN FANTASY LAND. 

The journey of your truth is going to challenge you to your core. 

It is going to take every ounce of will and never-give-up attitude you can muster. 

I have had some lonely moments.

Periods of time with absolutely no idea who I can trust. 

Feelings of walls closing in like I am in a coffin suffocating. 

I walked through hell and survived! 

So will you!

They say life has three great teachers:

Heartbreak, Empty Pockets, and Failures. 

By age 33, I had lived all three at a high level in my small world. 

"God never said it would be easy,

but he did say that the arrival would be worthwhile."

I lived 8-years NOT following my Guiding Voice. 

Years trying with no meaningful success.

Age 25, 2003, I lost it all. 

Age 33, 2011, I formed America's Construction Experts, LLC. 

www.americasconstructionexperts.com

Age 41, 2019, LISTENING to my internal guiding voice...

8-Years Later from opening America's Construction Experts. 

In this time:

I made over a million dollars. 

Serviced over $30,000,000

Team has successfully installed over 1,200 Projects. 

Over $3,000,000 paid in commissions. 

Paid off all the bad debt. 

Rebuilt my credit score. 

Saved over $100,000.00.

Banks handing me $200,000 in Business Credit. 

Bought toys with titles. 

Passport Vacations.

Purchased the boys and I our own home. 

Hired a team of great people.

Built a business that is youthful, steady, and flourishing. 

And in a very simplistic way, living life 100% on my terms. 

Just a few years back all of this seemed so impossible. 

This is how quickly life can turn around. 

What do I owe the change in results to? 

Living the Truth of my Authentic Guiding Voice. 

Looking back at the last 20 years of my life,

I would have failed twice as hard to get where I am today.

Know that whatever you are overcoming in this moment, 

is preparing you for your future success. 

Doors truly do open that were closed. 

Amazing people cross your path.  

The moments God talks to you, 

encouraging you along your journey while directing your travels. 

I want to see you follow your truth, 

and I hope by sharing my story,

it lights a fire that you can overcome your setbacks.

You deserve to be free living your dreams.

Living your authentic true self purpose. 

I express this wholeheartedly. 

The rest of this "story" you will be walking in my faith. 

My Guiding Voice Truth. 

The one that is talking to me now.

The voice that told me to share my story to inspire others.

Let me explain:

It is 2019 life is humming along. 

Business and life is good. 

I am no longer playing victim. 

Finally feeling like a victor. 

Walking and living my Authentic Truth. 

Then in a moment the world changed.

I had to navigate the suddenness of the economy closing on many levels.

Professionally; navigating the business, team, and clients. 

Personally; navigating with the boys mother, education, and health. 

Servers, hairdressers, massage therapists I knew no longer had work.

People are now working from home not allowed in their office.

Friends with small businesses were forced to close their doors.

Every single one of us has been affected by the Pandemic. 

This we all have in common. 

Voice started talking to me again....

David, you need to give back and help people. 

How can I help people?

Suddenly the answers started to come.

Looking back the seed of the new voice. 

I have a client, Kathy G, who over time had us renovate basically her entire house.  

She called me and asked, "David, do you know a good realtor, we are listing our home." 

If you have been following along, 

you already know I stopped referring Realtors. 

Kathy ended up selling at the peak of the sellers market. 

Her home set the value of the neighborhood!

The home improvements gained her enough equity to buy a condo cash!

I couldn't believe it!

Kathy invited me over to check out her new place,

and we remodeled her master bathroom and bedroom!

How cool is that?! 

She shared how much EXTRA profit they had made from the renovations, 

life-changing moment for her, because the house had become too much.

She needed a more manageable living situation.

God drew it up absolutely perfect.

The Voice came out of nowhere, "Help people that do not have money."

Not only this, but develop a program so win-win that everyone qualifies. 

I started really looking back at my life. 

In those dark moments, what help did I need the most?

It hit me like a ton of bricks.

It is the end of 2020 heading into the winter of 2021. 

The height of the Pandemic. 

Housing prices are starting to soar. 

The first email I sent to my paternity attorney, who has since retired.

"Hey, do you know any good attorneys that specialize in creating ways to help people that want to loan others money?"

She replies, "No."
I had a meeting with my accountant on the books.

Day of meeting I ask, "By the way, do you know any good attorneys that specialize in creating ways to help people that want to loan others money?"

He replies, "David. We are in the middle of the pandemic,

and you want to loan people money?

It is your money, but I think it is a dumb move."

Guiding Voice says, "Don't you give up." 

In my head I'm thinking, "Is this fun for you, I'm getting kicked in the nuts here?"

In the meantime, I signed up through McColly to take the Real Estate Brokers Course Online.

In this moment I am juggling a business, meetings, boys, home, and coaching. 

I studied 4-nights a week when everyone was asleep. 

Quite a few nights I fell asleep with the tablet on my lap. 

On 3/17/2021, I took the Indiana Real Estate State Brokers Test. 

As a celebration to my dad, I took it on his birthday.

I freaking failed it. 

I literally cried in the parking lot. 

In fact, I had to take the stupid test 2 more times before I passed.

Felt like such a moron and still do, 

But that put me under the gun. 

I have one-year to figure this out and affiliate my license. 

I had another meeting already on the books with my financial planner. 

Let me stop right here... 

Did I ever think I would have a financial planner, accountant, and attorney?

No. Pipe Dream Stuff.

I digress. 

My financial planner is a bright young man. 

We get done with our business and I ask him the same question I asked my attorney and accountant, "Hey, by the way, do you know any good attorneys that specialize in creating ways to help people that want to loan others money?"

He looks me dead in the face and asks, 

"What are you trying to do?"

So I share my story. 

And he says, "As a matter of fact I do."

He called him right on the spot.
A few days later I am sitting in the lobby sharing the latest version of my story with this bright young attorney. 

At the end of the meeting he asks, "David, can we set a meeting for the end of next week?"

One day before my oldest sons birthday. 

On May 11, 2021, 

America's Private Investments, LLC is born. 

www.americasprivateinvestments.com

My new business attorney formed the company, drafted the agreements, and provided me everything I needed to make the Guiding Voice a reality.

It took a lot of shadow work,

and long dark hours to make this possible. 

What happens next is anyone's guess. 

Fifth Third Bank signed on to process all the payments. 

I am calling it the, Remodel To Sell Program. 

There is no other home renovation loan like it on the market.

The company also offers closed term fixed rate remodeling loans.
