I recently considered investing a substantial amount of money in John's CEO program. It is basically work that I'm already doing, mentoring and joint venturing on deals to teach people, however, he already had all the systems and processes into place and it was appealing to me to have that all done for me.
John's team sells this "opportunity" as an application process, yet, when you get the application it starts out as that and then towards the final paragraph states that it's a legally binding document. The document was very poorly written with little detail and a LOT of ambiguity about what they were actually offering. I asked a lot of questions and added an addendum onto the contract to clearly spell out the information that I was promised by the salesperson. I have been investing for 25+ years if there is one thing I know it's don't leave things to interpretation. "He said" is NOT a defense and you can only go with what you have in writing. The sales person called me back and said that John was bothered by my addendum and had chosen not to work with me. I said, well if that bothered him and he's not willing to back up what you say in writing then I don't want to work with him either.
I guess I should have been concerned when a 1/2 of the page of a 3 page document is all about protecting their reputation and repressing my 1st amendment rights to share my opinion about someone and their service, or lack thereof. Here's a small paragraph of theier contract.
