THE SEMINAR HAS BEEN POSTPONED:

LISTEN TO THE “EXPAT FILES” SHOW FOR FURTHER UPDATES 

  

JOHNNY MUELLER’S LONG AWAITED “EXPAT INSIDER” SEMINAR WILL LAUNCH ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18th, 2022

 

HI EVERYONE,

JOHNNY MUELLER HERE………

Host of THE EXPAT FILES: Living In Latin America

Its time to get your PLAN “B” going with some high quality boots-on-the-ground in Latin America! So mark your calendar for FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18th thru FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25th, 2022 for my upcoming “off the GRINGO tourist trail” adventure.

MY FEBRUARY 2022 SEMINAR WILL BE EXTRA SPECIAL!!!!

Why is that?
I have been doing “Expat Insider” seminars since 2010 and one of the questions I often get is, “Why in and around Guatemala? Why not do it in another Latin country or two?” 
This time we will be doing just that. We’ll be in and around Guatemala AND the country of EL SALVADOR (just south of, and sharing a border with Guatemala). You might recall El Salvador has the newly famous Bitcoin beach area and Bitcoin mining volcano sites that have been all over the news lately. 

 

**AN IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE:

If you wish to apply for Guatemalan residency be sure to plan on-staying another 7 working days immediately before or after the seminar. That way you can save a trip down and kill two birds with one stone. We will make the hotel/ accommodation and transportation arrangements for you.  And don’t worry, you won’t be stuck in a hotel for that week either. Our amazing Seminar coordinator Rita is in charge of arranging additional “boots on the ground” trips and tours to keep you busy and amazed. For example, you might want to see the quaint little towns around Lake Atitlan (considered the 1st or 2nd most beautiful lake in the world) or you might want to include other recommended nearby “boots on the ground” destinations like Antigua, Guatemala or the Mayan ruins of Peten. You may wish to see the most desirable burbs and residential areas recommended for gringo and Expat living, or perhaps book an appointment with our recommended USA trained dentist and oral surgeon Dr. Alex or see a dermatologist other specialist, open a bank account or check out heath insurance policies for gringos and Expats. Rita can set you up with any variety of her hand-picked pre and post seminar excursions, just ask. As soon as you sign up for the seminar she will be in touch by email, Skype and/or Whats App or Signal to help you arrange anything and everything to do with the seminar as well as coordinate additional “boots on the ground” excursions you might have on your wish list.  

ABOUT THAT “BOOTS ON THE GROUND” PART YOU WON’T GET WITH ANY OTHER SEMINAR…

After living 30+ years down here and making great contacts and connections, my Expat Insider team offers what no other seminar can- a private personal glimpse of Latin commercial, manufacturing, education, healthcare, banking, I.T., real estate and businesses that you won’t get from other Expat events. In fact, many of the places we will visit are unknown by tourists and even long-term Expats. Some doors are open only for our small groups.

WE HAVE TWO SPECIAL EXPERT EXPAT  GUESTS!!!

#1- A world famous Bitcoin / crypto-currency expert (a seminar alumnus Bitcoin millionaire) will speak about world changing crypto-currency events. He’ll discuss the scams, the realities and how you can still get in on the huge profits yet to come(he’s betting on a new crypto boom round coming very soon). Of course he’ll answer your crypto questions too!!

#2- An Expat cryptocurrency miner and self described anarchist who has been consistently making money mining Bitcoin and other “alt-coins” going all the way back to the crypto cowboy days-when there were no other coins at all like etherium, cardano, litecoin, etc., only Bitcoin. He is THE crypto mining expert.

THE SEMINAR FEE:

  • $3995 per person
  • $5995 for couples (or two people sharing hotel accommodations)

The Price Includes:

  • All presentations and seminar materials
  • Seven nights accommodations in deluxe Hotels including taxes (includes your Friday, February 18th arrival night through Friday morning checkout on February 25th)

!!! ABOUT APPLYING FOR RESIDENCY IN GUATEMALA!!!

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN APPLYING FOR RESIDENCY IN GUATEMALA? YOU CAN KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE BY APPLYING WHILE DOWN FOR THE SEMINAR. YES, YOU CAN DO BOTH AND SAVE TIME, MONEY AND AN EXTRA AIRLINE TRIP. GUATEMALA IS STILL ONE OF THE EASIEST AND LEAST EXPENSIVE LATIN COUNTRIES TO OBTAIN RESIDENCY BUT THINGS ARE CHANGING FAST. THIS EASY RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITY WILL NOT LAST SO CONSIDER IT A GREAT OPTION IN YOUR “PLAN  B” SCENARIO. OUR SEMINAR LAWYER JOSE IS READY TO ASSIST YOU IN THE PROCESS AND YOU WILL RECEIVE ALL OF THE RESIDENCY DETAILS AND INFO AS SOON AS YOU SIGN UP. NOTE THAT IT WILL TAKE YOU APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH TO GATHER UP THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS FROM YOUR HOME STATE(LIKE YOUR FBI AND POLICE/SHERIFF GOOD CONDUCT REPORT). SO YOU SHOULD START NOW. PLEASE CHECK WITH OUR SEMINAR LAWYER JOSE TO CONFIRM YOUR SITUATION.

MORE ON THAT LATER…

Now for our Seminar plan:

#1- We’ll visit businesses and factories owned by long term US Expats. 

#2- (Cov-idiot rules permitting) we’ll have a guided tour of a very first-world hospital complex and medical specialty center presented by English speaking medical doctors and specialists. You’ll see exactly how ultra-affordable full-coverage medical insurance plans work down here… and plans that Expats can sign on to that are amazingly inexpensive yet 1st world quality. 

#3- We’ll check out that out-of-control commercial and residential real estate bubble (cracking around the edges and ready to pop).

#4- We’ll slog through one of the biggest, craziest, most chaotic fresh produce, food and pirated goods market in Latin America (an absolute eye-opener that even few long-term Expats get to experience). With locals hawking goods at a fourth or less of first world prices- not a first world person to be seen (except in our little group of course) not a single word of English spoken either! Don’t worry, we’ll have bilingual translators along at all times to translate.

#5- Get ready for many surprises and “boots on the ground” stops with way too many to list here…

Talk about the Gringo Advantage!!!

What makes my “Insider” Seminar different?

This is definitely not your typical INTERNATIONAL LIVING style “cattle call” seminar… no real-estate pitch…no hidden sales pitch at all. Just the opposite. And while we’re on our real estate tour you’ll see the “bubble” deflating. You’ll see why its a “renter’s” and buyer’s market right now.

AN IMPORTANT POINT:

Our group will be small. That means during classes, meals, and on the road boots-on-the-ground, we’ll all be hanging together as a tight little group most all of the time. We’ll also be hanging out with seasoned Expats and Expat business people along the way. Some will tag along at our dinners, etc. Meaning there will be some intense networking going on.
Don’t be surprised if some of us end up lifelong friends and even business partners (that happens with all of my seminars).

THE SPECIAL EXPAT “INSIDER” ADVANTAGE:

Mr. James P., who attended both my “Expat Insider” Seminar and an INTERNATIONAL LIVING seminar, had this to say about that “OTHER” mega-seminar:

…Yes, previously I attended one of those big, widely promoted INTERNATIONAL LIVING seminars in Panama. It was all good material, but basically stuff you can get staying home and surfing the net yourself… and believe me, you can forget about actually schmoozing one-on-one with any of the speakers… you’re lucky to get a ‘hello’, a handshake and a “selfie” at the meet-and-greet. Oh yeah, and people did try to push their pet real estate projects. As for boots-on-the-ground… you get plenty: walking from salon to salon at the hotel and around that maze of an airport…

It shows you need real “insider” BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND experiences (jam packed in my seminar) or the trip will be just another fun, tropical vacation.

What people are saying about my seminars:

Johnny,
Now that I am back on my treadmill, I am taking a few moments out to thank you for a great seminar. You kept your promise and provided more information that you could squeeze into our time together….
One of the things that most Expats worry about is if they will meet people that they can become best friends with when they move to a strange country. The seminar made me realize that most of the people who are Expats are looking for the same things that I am. It makes it very easy to bond. We had so much in common that everyone seems to be thinking the same thoughts…
Chris & BJ

Check out the following seminar review….

Hey Johnny,
Just in case I have not said it enough, thank you for all your info and attention to detail. The entire week was fun, comfortable, and informative. You are just a wealth of info.
I’m back in the states now (I only wish my neighborhood smelled like that coffee plantation….) It took me awhile to get back in the groove of things here, mainly because I did not want to. I find myself daydreaming about all the business potential back there. It just keeps flowing through my mind, new ideas keep hitting me, again and again. I can only imagine how many great ideas would come to me after only a month of being there.
Aaron

Then there’s this great comment from this married couple….

What a great event! Well we couldn’t have asked for more. And when I got back I hit the good ol’ US like a wall, when right when we got to Houston they harassed my wife and we had FIVE security checkpoints. Believe me it was a slap in the face to reality…but the highlight of the trip other than the beauty of Antigua and Lake Atitlan (incredible) was the amazing UFM Libertarian University. To see an environment of education that embodies the lessons of freedom lost up here in the land of liberty deep in the so- called third world was so refreshing and impressed me to no end! That said, everything we did was valuable and enjoyable. Now back to “educating” my better half to get her back down!
Dale

How about a few words from another married couple who stayed on an additional month after the seminar to explore their own boots-on-the-ground experiences …

Dear Johnny,
I thought it was all so interesting and the translator gals were fabulous. They made a huge, huge difference in ordering meals and explaining things. They were so patient and caring and really available. Even when I imagine they might have been tired they were right there ready to assist…. and Attorney Jose is amazing, really helpful too. He seems like one who can really be trusted.
The presentation on the insurance plans was very comprehensive and well-presented …
Finally, thank you, Johnny.  It is a real boon to get your perspective. We have extended our trip and are off having our own experiences and learning as we go. I only wish I had more language under my belt but that will come.
Alisen

Then we have this unsolicited letter an attendee sent not to me, but to Richard Martin, host of a  popular finance-themed international radio/podcast show……

Hello Richard,
…..I wanted to send you a short note about Johnny Mueller’s recent seminar in Guatemala. I attended the seminar expecting to see 3rd world squalor and crime, with the hope of actually “ruling out” moving away from the good old U.S, Land of the Free.
Well, that didn’t exactly happen… Guatemala turned out to be a true gem, what a beautiful country with everything you can imagine, along with the nicest people to boot.
I’ve been to many seminars and this seminar was fantastic – extremely well-done and very well-organized. It’s one thing to read about something and another thing entirely to see it first-hand “boots on the ground.” It was great to be able to spend time with other like-minded people and a real treasure to spend time and chat with Johnny and his associates – suffice it to say he’s the real deal.
This was a first-class seminar all the way from the tours, the transportation, the beautiful coordination/language assistants, the other attendees and connections, the food, the lodging, and the legal information and connections. Everything went smoothly, no hiccups at all – even in the rainy season!
I would very highly recommend this seminar to anyone else considering moving abroad and am currently formulating a plan to relocate…..
Expat “gonnabee”,
Jeff

And now here’s a short two-minute audio clip that attendee DAVE sent. Just click on the tab. You’ll really want to hear it…
 

WE HAVE REPEAT OFFENDERS TOO….
Some people come not once or twice, but THREE TIMES!

Now some audio comments from past seminar attendees:

… click on any of the buttons below to see what these past attendees say about the dangers and their perceptions of insecurity in Latin America- what their own preconceived notions were before coming down versus the REALITIES after having “boots on the ground”.

The seminar will take place in Guatemala and El Salvador
Now as you know, Guatemala and El Salvador and nearly all of Latin America get bad marks on the US State Department website and from the first-world media in general. But there are hundreds of towns, cities and neighborhoods that are as safe as Boise, Idaho- though the US media paints the whole region with the same brush. (actually a good thing for expats, a strange irony which we cover in the seminar!)
If you want a reality check regarding insecurity and crime on the trip, listen to what our past seminar attendees say about what it was like for them. Click on the names below… (or skip it and move on)

Now for more of our cast of characters…

 

  • Johnny Mueller (me):

If you don’t know me by my radio/podcast show, “THE EXPAT FILES-Living in Latin America”, then download or stream some of my 1100 plus radio shows and 150 plus YouTubes: available free on www.progressiveradionetwork.com, PRN.LIVE, I-tunes, Stitcher, www.Podbean.com, www.ExpatPlanB.com, YouTube and many other outlets.
In a nutshell: for thirty years I have lived in and around all twenty Latin countries and produced and hosted various talk shows broadcasting from Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Honduras and major Latin America markets, logging in well over 2000 hours of live radio time. With a first-world (useless) MBA and an (extremely useful) Engineering degree, I made my mark in the states long before smart phones, Big Brother and the internet (which means I’m an old school analog guy). I’ve done well with diverse Latin based businesses (and flubbed a few too), and built a dozen houses in four different Latin countries.
I was that “clueless gringo” amateur contractor who came down without knowing a lick of Spanish thinking I knew everything. After all, I built a few houses in the states. Was I wrong! I’m embarrassed now to admit it took me a good 5 years to effectively communicate with my own cleaning lady in Spanish! Yes, even expats living on a simple Social Security check can afford a cleaning lady and a gardener. I admit to being a language dunce, but it proves the point that any first-world person with less than kindergarten Spanish can skid along nicely on what I call “The Gringo Advantage*”.

*If you don’t know about the “Gringo Advantage’ .. its a special Cinderella effect we gringos have in Latin America. It does have a counterpart up in the first world… for example, when your average British guy lands on US soil, as soon as he opens his mouth he gets the ‘visiting dignitary’ treatment from everyone, even if he was just a plain old cabdriver back in the UK. I call that the “British Advantage”. The “Gringo Advantage” is like that, but even better!
We gringos get special treatment in Latin America (though it takes a while before we realize it). Once you land here (especially off the tourist trail) it’s like instantly adding 2 or 3 points to the standard one to ten scale you thought you had back in the states.

MY #1  ACHIEVEMENT?

Discovering how to live extraordinarily well on a small fraction of the income it takes to live the good life back in the states… with none of the killer first-world stress. Though none of that occurred until I’d spent a few years stepping in many potholes along the way… my job is to teach you how to sidestep that stuff! At the seminar, we’ll be showing you how to use your  “Gringo Advantage” and its magic effects in areas like business, marketing, renting, buying, etc., etc.,  and in social relationships too. Though it’s quite un–PC to talk about such unjust things but hey, the world ain’t fair so why not take advantage of it while you can? After all, Latin America is about the last place left on earth where the locals still actually respect and admire us gringos. Just visit practically anywhere else in the rest of the world and see we are NOT greeted with open arms.   

That “Gringo Advantage I’m talking about is a godsend in business too. Expats, with their inborn first-world-know-how and attention to detail have a far better chance at business success south of the border than they ever could or would have stateside. Up there it’s a highly-regulated and expensive rat race with cutthroat competition. Down here for example, Latin businesses have little concept of customer service – often the key to success in businesses up North. We Expats excel down here because all of our lives we’ve been exposed to competition, customer service, cleanliness, ergonomics and fine-tuned business efficiency. That stuff comes natural to us whether we know it or not… or at least we know what NOT to do!  
Note that once you get rolling in Business down here and have your paperwork in order, those toothless, lazy, Latin government regulating agencies simply leave you alone! What a welcome difference and relief!
Its a painful fact that 9 out of 10 first-world small businesses up in the states FAIL in the first two years. And when newly arrived first-world gringos mention those dismal stats to long-time Expats, we just shake our heads and think, “Obviously pal, you haven’t tried it in Latin America!”

OK, back to our seminar’s cast of characters……

 

  • Our Latin Legal Specialist, Seminar Attorney–José:

He has a huge resume but I’ll cut it short…
Jose and his father (a past presidential cabinet member, but we won’t hold that against him) – are principals in a law firm that’s been around for 30 years. Jose has connections and knows his way through the bureaucracy and BS. Whether you’re planning to retire, buy property, get residency, invest, open an S.A corporation, do a complicated or a plain vanilla business start-up… he’s an Expat’s best friend.  So if you’re planning on setting up offshore accounts, corporations, trusts, etc., just meeting Jose and hearing what he as to say is worth much more than the cost of this or anyone’s seminar event (people tell me that all the time). And of course expats love him for his ability to work out both the easy and the tough details of things like intellectual property issues, trademark, copyrights, title transfers, etc. Oh, and he’s a law school university professor too and speaks almost perfect English. However being Latino, he is also on “manana time”… but so is everybody else down here!  That’s part of why Latinos live healthier and more stress free lives than folks back in the states (but you knew that already).      

Our secret weapons are the personal connections you’ll make:

On my “Expat Files” show I mention how so many average gringos and gringas come down to Latin America and have great success without knowing much or any Spanish at all. Yes, we still rise to the top of the heap without much effort just by being our good old natural first-world selves. It’s part of our “Gringo Advantage” but it takes time to get oriented and meet the right people . Expats do need connections, the right connections. I’ve seen  countless  gringos spend months even years spinning their wheels because they didn’t meet the right people early on. That’s another great reason to attend the seminar…

Speaking of real estate- everyone wants to know about the Latin American real estate market…

I will not pitch any real estate like other seminars eventually do. None of that here….. 

About Latin American real estate POST COVIDIOT PLAN-DEMIC:

First-World Style Real Estate is everywhere in Latin America. And now that the bubble has popped there is desperation in the market and people are defaulting on loans and rents in record numbers- just like up in the states. The difference is that in Latin America there are NO GOVERNMENT REAL ESTATE BAILOUTS, NO EMERGENCY LOANS OR MORTGAGE / RENT FORGIVENESS PLANS. That means desperate sellers are coming out of the woodwork. That also means anyone with cash will find deals of a lifetime, but beware. You must pick the neighborhoods and projects very carefully. For example, it would be a huge mistake to buy into a luxury condo complex (even at 50 cents on the dollar) when all the other owners are 3+ months behind on their mortgages. But how can you know? Well, you’ll learn the in’s and out’s in the real estate portion of the seminar.    

Keep in mind I have personally bought, built and sold over a dozen houses and buildings in four different Latin countries. In fact I built my first three projects knowing virtually no Spanish at all. That means almost any gringo can do it. But you need to hear the ground rules from expats like me who’ve made “clueless gringo” mistakes along the way.

NOTE: For privacy reasons the above is a much abbreviated agenda version. You will get a more complete and detailed agenda closer to the seminar launch date.

IS THIS “OFF THE TOURIST TRAIL” LATIN AMERICAN ADVENTURE FOR YOU?

You already know the first-world has cracked at the edges and the reset button has been pushed. You’re nervous about the future and a bit scared too. Who isn’t?
No, I don’t mean scared about the Latin American trip! I mean scared about what’s happening right now in the States and Europe…unsolvable problems too numerous to list: Vaxing, Covidiots, masks, Big Brother, NSA surveillance, drones, the collapsing FED, IRS, mind-numbing debts, mega student loan defaults, undeclared wars, more virus scares, bank bail in’s, incomprehensible trillion dollar derivatives, shredded Constitution and the incredible shrinking dollar … all the tipping points swaying, tilting and falling one by one.
So how does all that great news square with your personal situation? Have you got your Plan “B” settled or even started yet?

If you’re one of those flag wavers who thinks the good old U.S. of A. just needs a little shove or a kick in the pants, or an AOC,  Trump or a Bernie Sanders to get it back on track… you don’t need this seminar, you need to double up on your meds. Seriously, what’s your retirement package like? Do you have one or are you counting on social security? If that’s the case you might start practicing for the future by sampling some cat food.
A small percentage of Americans say things are tough but they’ll be ok. Some have a nice income for now and/or a good retirement plan (they probably work for the government). They can’t see a day of reckoning is coming so why dissuade them of that fantasy?

Here’s a little secret: Expats don’t come down to Latin America to live like the locals or like backpackers or Peace Corps volunteers or retro-hippies. We come down here because we know we can live 100% first-world lives at third-world prices- that means we can get by quite nicely on a measly social security check.

HOW FAR ALONG IS YOUR PLAN “B”?

Come down and see how it’s done! See how you can successfully follow in the footsteps of others. Don’t get stuck spending money needlessly and  spinning your wheels or end up re-inventing the wheel:

That would be a bit nuts. Believe it or not that still happens to untold thousands of fresh, green gringos and would-be Expats. I can’t tell you how many first-world folks come down intending to retire or are all fired up with great business plans, only to chase their own tails for a year or two. They drop loads of money on lawyers, translators, fast talking real-estate scammers and con-men (mostly gringo con men) .
I’ve seen first-hand how many green gringos get sold on “once in a lifetime” beachfront properties and such. That stuff happens every day in gringo-saturated areas like Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia and Panama. Bottom line, practically every gringo who tries to do the “Expat thing” by himself gets stung like a starry-eyed hayseed in the big city. But that won’t happen to you, right? It’s a fact of life that most every newbee expat gets off to a slippery start… I sure  did. Why do it the hard way?

So join me and my excellent little “EXPAT INSIDER” group as we trudge through Central America on Friday, February 18th thru Friday, February 25th, 2022.

IMPORTANT !!!!

Knowing you will be a long way from Cleveland- and this might be your first trip “off the tourist trail”- don’t forget the spectacular pre and post-seminar side trips our expert seminar coordinator RITA has arranged in and around Guatemala. With a little planning, you will definitely be able to fit it a lot of amazing stuff….A little exploring should be in your plan, especially if you are killing two birds with one stone by applying for Guatemala residency while down for the seminar. Why? If applying for residency, you must plan on staying on in Guatemala for 7 working days before or after the seminar. It would be crazy to stay holed up in a hotel during that time. That’s what Rita’s side trips offer a terrific way to know Guatemala and the surrounding areas and a great way to make connections at the same time. 
That said, I urge prospective seminar attendees to add a few days to the back or front end of your trip to explore even if you are not applying for Guatemalan residency. We’ll help and hold your hand too.
