The San Juan Social Club Cruise – Take advantage of a limited time offer of $300 deposit and get $600 onboard cabin credit! NOTE: The cruise dates have changed since recording this episode, and JLD will no longer be able to speak or participate in this cruise.
3 Value Bombs
1) The best connections have always been the ones that I met in person at events, because the deeper you can go with somebody, you get to know their needs, their wants, their desires, and you just get to know them personally.
2) If you are a U.S. citizen and you jump through the legal hoops and you make Puerto Rico your actual home, then you essentially pay almost no taxes.
3) People want to cruise. They want to have a good time, they want to chill, they want to have a vacation. But at the same time, they want to learn, make friends, make contact, make money from those connections.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Puerto Rico Cruisin’ and the Caribbean Dream
[1:27] – Daven shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Sometimes you have to do something that you might not be passionate about in order to get to the point where you can follow your passion.
[3:38] – The tax benefits in Puerto Rico
- If you are a U.S. citizen and you jump through the legal hoops and you make Puerto Rico your actual home, then you essentially pay almost no taxes.
- You only pay 4% federal income tax, 0% cap gains, and 0% dividends.
- Your state of mind living in a tropical paradise that has perfect weather almost every day, and is absolutely gorgeous,is good for the psyche.
[7:45] – Besides the tax benefits, what are some other amazing aspects in Puerto Rico?
- Importing cars from United States has 30% import tax, but if that car has a plug on it, like a Tesla, you pay no tax.
- Shoot a movie or a television pilot in Puerto Rico and you’ll be eligible for a 40% tax rebate.
- 98% of the island is an opportunity zone for real estate investors.

- The best connections have always been the ones that I met in person at events, because the deeper you can go with somebody, you get to know their needs, their wants, their desires, and you just get to know them personally.
