What Others Are Saying About Prof Bruce's Coaching

We are all lucky to have you in our lives

Bruce, you are truly an awesome person. Thank you for what you do for people like us—teaching us to be Firestone Institute co-coaches and giving us our own personal business models for success. We are all lucky to have you in our lives

Trish Taylor Co-Founder, GT Global Prosperity Inc

Happily working for ourselves thanks to our coach!

Roy and I continue to grow our rental portfolio, Bruce. We are now at 16 units, which will soon be 20! The next two are semi-detached. This is keeping us both very busy. Conventional mortgages continue to be our main challenge, but we are happily working for ourselves thanks to our coach!

Coaches like Bruce are your shortcut to success

I believe in mentors. If we all lived to be 300, then we wouldn’t need them—we could learn everything on our own. Coaches like Bruce are your shortcut to success—they are the least costly, highest ROI investment you will ever make.

Fab Di Franco Technology Executive

Couldn't have achieved the same results without you!

I am so grateful for all your coaching throughout the last six months, Prof Bruce. It's been SO valuable. I am about to close on my first $2 million-plus real estate acquisition (a downtown retail plaza)—I couldn't have achieved the same results without you!

Prof Bruce should do Sunday sermons—our church would be packed!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Realtopia 2018 event. I could not help but pay attention to every word spoken by Prof Bruce and his crew. I can tell you—everyone else was paying attention too. Prof Bruce should do Sunday sermons—our church would be packed! It’s a great concept having an income during your retirement years by simply owning enough high-producing, ‘animated’ property. It make’s one rethink the whole RRSP/mutual fund investment concept.

Create wealth over the long term

Prof Bruce will show you, through his business and real estate investment coaching, how to create wealth over the long term as opposed to 'capture' it. There's a serious difference between the two (one is sustainable, the other is not).

Development Manager

Learn More

For your next project (large or small), don’t hire a project manager, an architect, a planner or a contractor. Instead, your first hire should be a Development Manager. This is a relatively new role. A development manager is a facilitator who fulfills these roles: 1. site acquisition advice and help with due diligence, 2. zoning review and guidance concerning highest and best use of the subject property (HABU), 3. developing a functional program along with animation ideas (ie, how to add new revenue streams to property), 4. budgeting, pro-forma and spreadsheet analysis/cap rate and internal rate of return calculations, 5. city pre-consultation, 6. critical path scheduling, 7. and many other tasks.

Property Animation

Learn How

Property animation is the study of real estate to understand its highest and best use.

Animating a property serves to boost revenues and create new revenue streams for owners. This improves rates of return and provides a better experience for occupants, tenants, users, property managers and visitors.

As a bonus, property animation makes neighbourhoods more active, attractive, interesting, vibrant and safe area for all, resulting in a more environmentally and economically sustainable community.

As a real estate investment and business coach, I’ve come to realize your most important asset is not stuff you own, it’s stuff you know.
