 ITs fine to go to these thing, imo stay away from the big up sell. I think you will learn a LOT more by taking the several thousand dollars that most of these folks will end up asking to join their super premium elite group, and instead buying your first deal.

I dont believe there is a magic system that will get you a return on spending thousands of dollars on a guru.  Better off reading the materials on this board and asking the folks around here for help.

@Bart H. I agree that most of these type of events are short on real content and just serve as a funnel to an up-sell. Some are great most are not. 

With that said a mentor will help fast track your success and likely save you a fortune in mistakes not to mention tapping you into a network. Not all mentors are created equal either but the right one can make all the difference. 

There’s only so much you can get from a book, video or even a seminar. Working one on one with a sophisticated experienced mentor can open up all kinds of doors and opportunities. All we know is what we know and we don’t know what we don’t know. Sometimes all it takes is one simple idea or suggestion or change in thinking  that can result in millions in profits.

Having attending many events for multiple industries over the years I would also advise that the best use of your time at these events is between sessions, network your butt off!  Sure, you'll learn a lot listening to the speaker, guru, coach, and their guest speakers and panels but look around the room!

Many in attendance will be beginners looking for a nugget or a two but a number will also be solidly involved in syndications, lending, etc.  Make it a point to find and network with the folks on stage, it will pay dividends when you start to build those relationships after the event.

    @Kevin Ferguson I agree that the most important and beneficial part of any of these conferences is the networking aspect (although I’m sure you already know that). I’ve been to Michael Blank’s and was impressed and found value in it. Another great event is Joe Fairless’s Best Ever conference. A ton of investors and outstanding content and networking.

    @Matt Nusbaum Awesome, yes I want to get better with Michael Blanks Deal Analyer mostly and network. 

    Also, I believe the Best Ever Conference was this past February? Do you know when tickets usually go on sale for next year?
