Attacks of the Guru"s

[Michel Steele]

Being a Newbie I have started my s-corp and LLC, got my business account opened, and working to get an account and lawyer, sounds great right?!. That was the easy part, now to work. i have made some small investments in course material s here and outside BP. My emails get flooded with offers to join a program. The sharks are circling. Now bit my wife and I make a good salary and our decision to invest was to add supplemental income to our already outstanding retirement plan. has anyone heard of Cody Sperber"the clever investor" or worked their program. i know they have upsales as does everyone else, but looking for some actual users.

I have been in this business for a long time. Over 25 years. I have purchased lots of programs from many of these people that are mentioned in this forum and have attended many of their seminars. And I have hired many mentors and coaches over the years. I have also read over 500 books on real estate, marketing, personal development, etc. I estimate having spent over $250K on my real estate investing education. I can honestly say that I don't regret any of my purchases. 

I consider these programs as a big picture investment. Did I expect to get rich from one program? No? Did I expect to learn from each program. Yes. Did I make lots of money? Yes ... eventually. If I can learn one new thing from a program that I can implement and make my business better and accelerate my growth, then it was worth it. Everyone has a different way of doing things. Look at all the opinions on this site.

And yes they will try and upsell you. Most businesses do. "Would you like fries and a drink with that hamburger". And if the program looks good I may just purchase it. 

Oh, and I still purchase many programs and books each year. And I learn something from each one. I consider them refresher courses. Right now, I'm big on internet marketing.
