EP044: David Sewell enlightens “Mail Box Check” investment opportunity decreasing DENTAL CHAIR DEPENDENCY.

Every practicing dentist is acutely aware of this unmistakable fact:  If you are not sitting in the chair, PRODUCTION=ZERO .  I had no idea that when I started dentistry that it meant that anytime a dollar was earned I needed to have gloves on and be in the trenches working in my practice instead of on my practice.

Every dentist dreams of going to the mailbox and getting a check without having to fix teeth.  David Sewell from International Coffee Farms in Panama tells us how we can decrease our dependency and participate in a socially conscious, passive investment that results in you owning deed property with significant cash flow.  This episode is way out of the norm for this podcast but I could not resist sharing.

I discovered this investment, I vetted them out and I converted a significant portion of my 401k into coffee farms.  In fact my investment was big enough that I qualify for finders fees for new investors for ICF.  The amount is insignificant to me but the investment can change my listeners lives so I felt compelled to share this with you.
