About Us

Founder's Vision

This magazine is a reality because of life – my life. For as long as I can remember, I have looked at great mansions and expensive cars and wondered how their owners were able to purchase them. How did they make their money? It seemed like they knew some secret or had some knowledge that I could never attain.

I have also always been puzzled by individuals. I have seen amazing people with talent, personality, energy, charisma and great communication skills fail in business, while others, who do not seem to have a clue and who never set goals or dreamed about success, go through life getting one break after the other. I still cannot figure that one out.

You know, there is a billion-dollar industry in America for individuals wanting a better financial life. There is a lot of information about attaining wealth, the proper mindset, the proper attitude, the proper way to dress, the proper sales presentation, the next great industry, the key to awakening the great power within us, and on and on. I think all of these things are good; however, they are not the key. Not even close.

I feel this way because throughout my life, my curiosity has led me to countless opportunity seminars, audio and video cassette programs, books, magazines and newspaper articles. My search for financial knowledge is never-ending.

Looking back, I now wonder if all of those seminars, books and tapes were detrimental to my success. After reading those books or attending the seminars, I would be fired up until I went out into the real world and had my emotional bubble burst by individuals who did not want my product or service and who could care less how enthusiastic I was.

People need blueprints to achieve success, just as a builder needs blueprints to build a house. A builder does not go to a seminar so he can get in the right frame of mind, get a positive mental attitude or learn how to dress to build a house. A builder does not have to awaken the giant within him. He just needs specific directions – Blueprints.

Whether you are building a house or building a business, you need to know what has worked in the past. That is what $1,000,000aire Blueprints is all about. I sincerely believe the majority of people can better reach their dreams if they have specific directions, examples, guidelines and instructions from individuals who have already been there. Self-made millionaires, just like you, who have already walked the walk and who are now gracious enough to teach us, show us and guide us through our own journey to success.

No matter what industry you are in, our goal is to give you priceless information and ideas from each article that will make a difference in your life. I do not want to feed you a little bit of information and then tell you I can sell you a book or some tapes that contain the real “secrets” or the “magic” stuff. The “secrets” and “magic” will be in our magazine. If the articles do not teach you or guide you closer to your dream, then we have failed. We want you to be entertained, but more than that, we want you to be empowered with specific knowledge that will grow your business, get you customers and put money in your pocket.

All of the individuals that have agreed to be in our magazine are successful. More importantly, they have agreed to be teachers for our readers. Each interviewee has gone through the tough times and the good times that are a part of a successful journey. Now it is our turn. We are lucky. We do not have to experience everything they went through. We can just learn what worked for them. We just have to follow their directions — follow their Blueprints. Then we can be the teacher.

City Partner Dean Buse likes being associated with a positive opportunity that gives individuals hope for a bright future. In his opinion, $1,000,000aire Blueprints does just that.

“This magazine is a “how to” manual that gives readers specific instructions from successful entrepreneurs. As a City Partner, we’ll provide guidance and help each advertiser broaden their client base. In essence, we’ll become part of their marketing team,” Buse said.

Buse has been a successful entrepreneur for 30 years. Born in Gary, Indiana, he has lived in Portland for the last 18 years. He earned an Associate’s Degree in Computer Science Technology from Heald College.

“My education came from the school of hard knocks. I basically taught myself while attending seminars hosted by top marketing leaders,” he said.

The Dean Buse Group teaches business owners marketing strategies through a variety of services including one-on-one coaching and teleseminars.

Buse has great plans for his City Magazine.

“I want to use the magazine to promote the entrepreneurial spirit, especially to the younger generation, and make it the No. 1 business publication in the country,” Buse said.
