Cost of Various Guru Programs
I know the general view in the BP community is "why pay for some guru course, when all the info is here for free." Yet I've run across a number of programs / mentor ships that sound intriguing. Problem all of them want to get on a call with you, spend an hour of your time only to convince you to shell over $997 or higher. I'd love a place where there was a list of programs people have taken, how much they cost, a general description, and then the ROI achieved. Not "this program was great:" but " I paid 2k and have made 50k in the first year"
Is this a pipe dream?
