It's amazing that if you were to google the complaints on Apple , Honda , McDonald's some of the major company's in their market, thousands of customers have their complaints unresolved or very unsatisfied. 

I don't know anyone who buys an Apple iPhone, but doesn't figure out how to use it.  I don't know anyone who buys a Honda, but can't drive it.  I don't know anyone who buys McDonald's, but then doesn't eat it.

But, I do know plenty of people who pay for high-priced education and then never do a deal.  Why I'm not saying they don't have the right to pay the high prices (and the educators most certainly have the right to charge high prices), the issue is that these novice investors don't realize that the likelihood of them never doing a deal -- because many of these students never do a deal -- is very high.

Do these gurus offer a guarantee that their students will be able to use their product (i.e., do a deal)?  Do they offer a money-back guarantee?  If not, why not?  

If you're an educator promising to help your students do deals, why wouldn't you give them a guarantee they'll do deals and make money?  I'm sure you're thinking, "It takes work on the part of the student, and the teacher can't make the student work!"  In that case, the teacher needs to do a better job of weeding out the students who are unlikely to put in the time and effort it takes to be successful.

I've mentored (for free) about a half-dozen people -- every single one of them has done deals.  Most of them have done 10+ deals, and the rest will likely get there at some point soon.  It's not because I'm an amazing teacher -- it's because I'm very selective about the people I mentor, and I know they're going to be successful, even if I don't do a great job teaching them.

If I can weed out those who are unlikely to ever to a deal, why can't the so-called gurus?  I'll tell you why -- because they care more about taking their student's money than they do about having their students be successful.  They'll happily take money from someone who has nearly 0% chance of doing deals.

I've heard of one or two gurus who offer an unconditional money-back guarantee -- they recognize that if the students don't do deals, it's the teacher's fault as much as the student's fault.  Do the gurus being discussed in this thread offer that?
