Announcing Our 2009 Stories of Success Winner for the "Send Me Away" Contest!

Well the votes are in, the results are final and we want to congratulate our winner. This was amazingly suspenseful for us here at the office to watch the votes come rolling in. There is only one word to describe what it was like - AWESOME!

We had cast our votes here in the office and decided to let our students help decide because it was so difficult for us to choose. It was really close for a while, then Carol Stinson of New Jersey came out with the lead.

Below I have listed the top 3 videos of the 6 finalists and the % of votes they got.

  1. Winner - Carol Stinson with 29% of the votes Watch Video
  2. 1st runner up – Terry Vaughn with 26% of the votes Watch Video
  3. 2nd runner up- Joe and Stacy Jurek with 23% of the votes Watch Video

Congratulations to all who entered and we encourage everyone to enter for next year!

Awesome Carol!

I am really glad that I got the email to vote because I was having trouble with my computer. I finally was able to view the three videos and vote for you at the last minute. Iam wondering if you were able to get a better start with the help of Deans success academy?

I want to join but Iam trying to work out the financil part of it. I voted for you because you were the most original and really seemed to start your R.E. investing from scratch. I hope I can enter the contest next year. Congrats!

Terry

I completely agree with Tony we can't forget about Terry Vaughn because I almost wanted to vote for Terry and it was a difficult choice but he deserves runner up. Terry your video was very original also. Good Luck and keep us informed with all of your info.

Hey Carol.... Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. I have seen so much from you all over this site as you have given many of us so much good information. And we all thank you for that so much!

But, boy is it nice to see you get something that you truly deserve. It doesn't happen often, but in this case, Carol, the good person, wins big and comes out ahead!

Have fun, make some great deals and someday (hopefully sooner than later), I'll be right there with ya!

Take care & God Bless!

Congratulations, Carol

Carol, you Go Girl!
You deserve it. What you have shown us in your video is that all it takes is the knowledge that Dean so generously shares and the will to succeed. Your story is so inspiring for what you have accomplished in just one year. You took your last $30 when foreclosure was imminent and now you are debt free and you accomplished that from the comfort of your home using the Internet and your telephone. You calmly and a-matter-of-factly showed us that it doesn't take a Donald Trump to succeed with Dean's strategies, it just takes the knowledge and the persistent effort. Congratulations again. We just want to say we admire you and we wish you the best of everything.

It was truly a tough contest. Joe & Stacey, your video is incredible. I can't stop laughing at parts of it, and it is backed by another remarkable story of success. You guys are awesome and winners in your own right. We congratulate you also.

To Terry and all the others who took the time to share with us your successes (especially Shelly who with her husband John have tremendous successes), we want to say thank you. You fill in the gaps in the overall picture that Dean paints. You give us the details like your signs, Terry, that bring to life the concepts that Dean has described. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and congratulations as well. I am sure your prize from the benevolent DG will be well worth your effort.

Dean, if you are reading this, we just want you to know how grateful we are for all you do to help all of us. We know it's a lot of work, and we know you don't have to do it. Thanks for putting us on your virtual bookshelf. You are truly making a positive difference in the world. Please continue.

Mike & Mary

Thank you!
