Karen Rands interviews another SPEC Presenter entrepreneur!

The Amenity Club empowers busy professionals and families to live a less stressful and more thrilling lifestyle. They do this by providing access to luxuries like vacation home rentals, VIP seats at concerts and sporting events, and everyday luxuries like house cleaning, gourmet meal delivery, and personal limo service.

What makes the AC truly unique is that its members don't need cash for any of the luxuries. They simply use the points they've earned by doing the things they do everyday -- going to work, paying their rent or mortgage, and shopping for their families. The points are sold as loyalty marketing incentives to employers, apartment management companies, individuals selling their homes, and everyday merchants like restaurants and dry cleaners. www.amenityclub.com

Karen Rands got involved in the world of angel investing in 2001. She left corporate world to join one of her clients as their VP and to help them raise their last bit of go-to-market capital. She didn't anticipate the pending market collapse and never did raise the money for that client. What she did discover is a whole new world of investing. Following Robert Kiyosaki's cashflow quadrant premise, investing in businesses, owning a little bit of multiple companies was the way for a dad to be a rich dad or a mom to be a rich mom. Kiyosaki touches on this concept in many of his books. As Karen Rands got more involved in the world of angel investing, she had requests from high net-worth men and women and their money managers to recommend training so they could learn How to be an Angel Investor. There was plenty of training options for public stock market investing and real estate investing, but nothing for private equity investing. In 2003, Karen launched the Learn to Be an Angel Investor (www.howtobeanangelinvestor.com ) ebook series. Thousands opted in to receive the original drafts. Finally, the first 5 books of that series are available to purchase at www.kyrmedia.com. Karen Rands' involvement in the world of angel investing grew with the acquisition of the Network of Business Angels & Investors (www.nbai.net) in 2005. Now with the launch of this blog, My Virtual Angel World, she will let the whole world of angel investors share their experience, insight, and knowledge with others.
