Has anyone here used Brian Gibbons Coaching?
I chose to do business with Brian based on this community, and our conversation. There's no doubt that he knows what he's doing. I figured since I plan to be an investor for the rest of my life, it was a no brainer. I transferred $7000.00 in to his account, which was hard, I sat in my car in front of my bank for hours contemplating it. I pulled the trigger, and was done with it...
It started out well, but after a month and a half, I'm still in the same place in the I was when I started minus $7000. I've learned more from sean terrys flip2freedom academy at $1000 than RIEskills so far. I'm bumbed, and buyers remorse is starting to set it. I hope things pick up...
I'm wondering if someone else has worked with Brian and if he was able to produce a return on investment?

I have no ax to grind here and know nothing about Mr. Gibbons' training, but I do have a question.
Have you done exactly what he told you to do exactly as he told you to do it?
Some years back, I went through a training with another guy who was 50 miles away IN A BETTER MARKET than mine.
He called me about 6 weeks later with sarcasm in his voice and asked me, "so, have you done any deals yet?" My response was, "yes. I have 3 closing this month, and I'll make enough on those 3 to cover the cost of my training and then some."
He was shocked, and responded, "really? how did you do it?"
My answer was, "you know that manual we got? start on page 100, and follow every step, line-by-line for the next 3 pages." He laughed cynically.
I said, "no really. Have you tried that?"
His answer was essentially that he did some steps and skipped others thinking what he picked was enough. He thought he was smarter than the trainer.
I didn't get it. He paid someone good money to teach him a flawless system that generated proven results because he didn't have one yet he refused to follow it. He never did get much in the way of results, and 10 years later, I have hundreds of deals under my belt.
Like I said, I know nothing about Mr. Gibbons other than what I have read in his posts. The only thing I am saying, is that you haven't followed his "recipe" verbatim, try that before settling on conclusions.
If you think you have, well, talk to him directly about it and find out where you both are going wrong and work together to fix it. No trainer wants failed students.
