What Kind of Gift Would Make a Real Estate Millionaire Happy?
UPDATE #2: Check out the announcement of the scholarship
UPDATE: We have received hundreds of applications and therefore are not accepting anymore at this time. This is something that we are going to continue to do in the future, so we will let you know when we are accepting applications again. Thank you!!
Okay Dean, this is a letter to you, and about you. It’s from all of us here in the office and the folks scattered elsewhere. We are posting it on DG.com so EVERYONE will get to read it.
Let’s reveal a private little truth about Dean...
Every November, those of us who love Dean and work closely with him, come up against a crazy conundrum. It starts early in the month and gets worse as the 20th approaches. Why you ask? Well, because the 20th of November is the anniversary of Dean’s first appearance.
No, not his first appearance on late night TV silly, I’m talking his first appearance on the planet.
You know… the event that for years to come is marked with party hats, balloons, those little roll out paper whistles, cake and ice cream - the whole birthday thingamajig. Well everything is easy when it comes to celebrating his B-day - - except for the GIFT part.
None of us can ever figure out what to get him!
In 2007 the arrival of his firstborn, Breana (right on Nov 20th) made him a daddy. (Pretty hard to beat that as a gift!) Last year, we overheard him talking about how he wanted to get a cool new cell phone, (which at the time was just being released to the public), so we all pooled our coins together, and Megan snuck down to the mobile store and bought him the phone. (You do realize that the most expensive way to buy a cell phone is straight from the store…with no yearly agreement right? So, we aren’t penny pinching here either).
Anyway, we did that and were pretty darn proud of ourselves.
We were sure we had FINALLY figured out a cool gift…
Nope. The whole thing went sour. Sure, when he unwrapped it he was excited, but it was short lived. Turns out, the “cool” phone was a pain in the “you know what” to use, and Dean is ALWAYS on the phone. So, he asked Megan to return it and for a while, there was a BIG FAT CREDIT towards his account – (unfortunately, their refund policy isn’t as hassle free as ours!)
So, this year we all decided to just bake him a bunch of cookies. We figured you can’t go wrong with cookies…but then RINA – that sweet, lovely, caring, brilliant investor with a heart of GOLD RINA, saved us all from slaving over a hot stove, (or in Megan’s case, slicing a slab of Pillsbury cookie dough) by suggesting we do something to celebrate Dean’s birthday that would bring a big smile to his face – AND do something that makes Dean the happiest…help an inspiring investor!
Rina suggested we create a scholarship, which would cover the tuition for one deserving student to go through Dean’s Success Academy Training. She even offered to donate a BIG FAT sum of money to start it, and a portion of every deal she does in the months and years to come, to make sure there was always tuition available for some deserving individual.
We have decided to call it- “Dean's SPIFF’s”
That stands for Students Pay It Forward Fund - Scholarship) - yes… we’re big on Acronyms and Acrostics here in the office. The whole idea behind it is to give the gift that never stops giving. Some of Dean's students have donated money to start the fund, and we’re coughing up our own dough to help. Rina’s idea is to use this money toward a free “Dean’s Academy” coaching program for someone that qualifies and needs it the most.
This will all start today, on Dean’s special day and hopefully continue long thereafter. Please watch the video blog below if you haven’t already. This will give you a better idea of what the scholarship is all about and how you can possibly benefit from it, plus a BIG surprise that you won’t want to miss (especially you Dean!) We have also put up a form to fill out for all of those that want to try and win the scholarship. We will gather all submissions and read through to find the person that seems to need/want it most and who will take full advantage of the opportunity. (The link to the submission form is right below the video).
Happy Birthday Dean!! You’re a real good egg, a top notch “boss” and we love you. You're not only special to us, but to everyone you have helped...and that numbers in the thousands baby!
With love,
Your Team!
We appreciate how generous and selfless all our "DG.com" community members are with one another.

We are open and anxious to hear any ideas you have for us in this endeavor. If you would like to contribute in some way you can contact us info@deanenterprisesllc.com

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BREANA! :)
You don't know me but I'm one of your Daddy's most GRATEFUL students. God blessed ME with SIX daughters (all of them grown up now) so I have a special heart for little girls. I know your Daddy loves you and wants only the best for you and your life just as he does for me and ALL the people who have placed their trust and confidence in him to help them achieve their goals in life.
) as a birthday. Well, YOU ARE WONDERFUL ALSO! 
and I know he is very proud and LOVES YOU VERY MUCH!

MAN!
Thanx for all your inspiration and love. Breana really DOES have an AWESOME DAD!! 
I'm writing this letter to YOU, Breana, because I understand that having such a wonderful Dad like yours can probably suck when he gets ALL the attention on the day you two SHARE (remember that, DAD
I don't know if you are even OLD ENOUGH TO READ this note
I want to ask you ONE favor, too. PLEASE give Daddy one kiss today for EACH AND EVERY STUDENT whose lives he has had a major impact upon. (get started as soon as you get this message 'cause I think it's gonna take you ALL DAY to accomplish this wish!
Breana, I know that WHATEVER YOU DO in your life will make your Daddy very proud, just as my "little girls" have done for me!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BREANA!! YOU ROCK!!!!
From a Daddy's heart,
Jeff (cougrrr1)

Happy B-Day Old Fart...just kidding! :)
Happy Birthday Dean!
Just kidding, "I" will always be the older 'fart.' 
I hope you have a wonderful day Dean. 
My birthday was 2 days before my Dad's, it was always fun to have a combined birthday celebration with my hero, my Dad. Breana will probably feel the same way about you as she grows.
I've just put my FIRST house under contract and I'm hoping that one of my 2 Buyers will purchase it. Thank you for this program. I'd sign up for the FREE coaching scholarship, but I'm already in the Academy, lucky me! I'd love to contribute to the scholarship in the near future, great idea Rina!
Thank you for helping me make things happen to improve our financial situation in our family, as it would have remained stagnant by just surviving paycheck to paycheck (but I'm grateful my husband has a job to pay our bills and I'm grateful for what we DO have). However, I want to THRIVE, not just subsist and your program will allow my family to do that. Thank you for sharing your expertise in Real Estate and helping many of us make our dreams become a reality. Have a wonderful day Birthday Boy! 
Sincerely, Sheri
Happy B-Day!!

Hi Dean and all DG.com Fans,
Rinas idea to form a scholarship fund financed by students is so fantastic. It exemplifies all that Dean and his philosophy espouse. I only wish I was in a position to contribute to the fund because I know all who do will get a great feeling of satisfaction from it. I will do my part by applying for the scholarship and hope to be a worthy recipient if chosen.
Dean, Happy Birthday to you and Breana.
Keep on keepin' on, John
Wow!!
I posted early today at work, where I couldnt access the video. I am so joyous by it - I can only imagine how Dean must feel seeing all those wishes. And all these posts - a true testament to the great person he is. And how could I forget to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Breanna as well!!! Duh!!
All the best always,
Laura
Have a blessed day!
Happy Birthday & May God continue to bless & keep you & your family in perfect peace!
Happy Birthday Dean
