Not worth commenting on...people are here for help and aren't here to feel stupid.

I have received awesome advice by many people in BP

It's all in the presentation here and out in the field. Some people just have a more professional way about themselves.

Terry you can't go wrong here lots of great info.

Best of Luck

Just read a great post today about how a mentor section would be a great idea. Joshua agreed! Why is it people are so afraid of mentoring someone like it is a big secret. Pay-it-forward, might make you feel better.

Mike

Until that happens a script helps!

Just wondering why people can't just answer the question like Curtis did.

There always has to be one person who is obnoxious or has to add an unnecessary comment.

People are here for advice or help otherwise this place wouldn't be necessary. We don't ask questions to get back sarcastic comments.

Sorry had to say something, if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all.

And you certainly don't have to shout it out in caps.

Don't you need the mentor to get that first great deal?

Wow I am impressed with these answers. When I asked for a mentor I got ripped to shreds.

There is a lot of crap out there, gurus. I have had it. I joined a local rei club and was (am) tempted to join a school the one guy runs. I am not getting a good feeling though.

I have received 3 refunds from guru programs and have put no money out yet on the current one I am looking at (a local school)

I have learned sooo much I think I can do this on my own. It is all out there to be found if you look. It takes time.

There is no secret and no FAST money or large sums immediately to be made.

The only way you make big money fast is to sell a guru program. LOL

Jon you have been a huge help, thank you sooo much.

This is a great site.

I think sharing information that you have with newbies would be rewarding!

I personally think... Don't take money up front, if you are that good as a mentor you can get your roi with sharing the profit of the newbies first deal.

Mentor section would be awesome.

Love the input and this site.
