BEFORE YOU BUY A GURU COURSE READ THIS
Why do we go to Gurus and fall for these "Get rich quick" schemes? I speak on this because I did. I attended a 3day seminar/workshop with Real Estate intensive and all I can say is that I paid $2000 for a very special seed and taste for REI that was planted inside of me. And for that, it was worth it. But the value ended there.
However, people believe that the 10-20-30-40k programs will get them to the next level, and give them an unfair advantage against everyone else? Is it because they will hold our hands and spoon feed us all the secrets that they claim only they know?
NO! The majority of people who come out of these programs and boot camps spend the next couple years or even decade trying to pay back the money they spent. Because they didn't have the drive within themselves, they couldn't find a way to put minimal work in and expect huge results. Life doesn't give you what you want, it gives you what you deserve.
Now there are some who have benefitted greatly from the programs. But I strongly believed that these few people could do it without spending that $20K.
Finally, if you are reading this and thinking about buying a program, ask yourself why. There are all the resources you need here on BP and elsewhere, but if it seems like it would be too much work to teach yourself then you should just stop right now. Find something else. Go sell kittens at a pet store, I don't know.
So essentially if you think that the $20K price tag will give you a golden ticket Charlie, think again.
