hello bp family! I have a question that I would like you guys' opinions on if possible: is it worth it to go to a weekend long rei seminar (times are fri-sun 9am-6pm each day)? have you guys found any success in attending something like this? was it worth your time? 


there is one coming up in my area and part of me wants to go because I want to learn all I can, but also, in all honesty that is a LONG TIME! I may get bored, info overload, etc. they say that they won't try to up sell anything. idk if they will be giving any additional info that I don't already have access to (bp, books, etc)

i am not a lazy person and understand that sometimes we have to do tedious things to be successful but I just want to know if it's worth it before I spend my entire weekend/12+ hours at a seminar. thanks in advance for yalls help! :)

@Dominique Ivey I would definitely attend. You can always walk out if its not a rewarding seminar. There is no doubt they are going to try to sell you on some coaching program or the next biggest best thing. I would soak up as much knowledge from anywhere I could and continue to educate yourself until you are ready to act. I have been doing this 25 years and have done thousands of deals and I still attend them once in a while. You are always learning. The one I attended was all weekend just like this. Robin Thompson was the instructor and she was very good and tried to sell you on a boot camp and mentorship program. I this is helpful please give me a vote and good luck

 Best Wishes
