Fortune Builders Thoughts on 3 Day Summit

So I paid for and attended a Fortune Builders 3-day event for $197. They're was a decent amount of information passed, but I was always brought back to cost vs. value, and then immediately came the $50,000 sales pitch. I will admit, they did it right. Presented scarcity, by saying you have to apply and meet certain criteria, one of them being money of course. 

I purposefully completed my application and only met the money criteria to see how things would go. I told them I was not interested and not coachable. Somehow I was accepted after meeting no criteria but money. 

Now, for those without money but the drive and willingness to put yourself into debt, don't worry they are more than willing to give you time to apply for a loan, call and up your credit limit, or take out a HELOC.

I have purchased programs in the past and took from them what I could. But this one I could not buy into. They preached integrity but did not tell us the real reason why they were doing this. 

The people teaching the classes make more money from selling the system than actually using the system. That's the equivalent of someone telling you to eat subway to lose weight, but eat all of there meals from meal prep specialist. 

This is a clear case where selling the system is way more lucrative than actually employing the system. 

If anyone has actually used this signed up and used this system, please feel free to comment as I'm very thrown off by the whole presentation and any means necessary to get your money. 

Last thing. You have to take into account of how many events they do and the fact that they offer one On one coaching. How!!!!! They do roughly 75 events per year and take an average of 20 students per event. How do they employ enough qualified mentors and coaches to comfortably say they can offer this from active rehabbers and wholesalers. If you can make it with this program, you can make it without. There is no seen added benefit to this cumbersome endeavor.
