Yes, Chris is obviously using friends and family to attack my experience. All which is true by the way. He doesn't seem to handle honest criticism very well. Here are more details of my experience:
1. I signed up last November.
2. Took a personality test, no explanation why it was given. Never heard any feedback from it.
3. The 12 week sessions were 15 minutes long. Not much time to learn anything in that time frame. Chris was only there for one.
4. I e-mailed questions to Chris, mostly no response. I learned to e-mail questions to Chris and his associate Steve, to get response. Steve was the only one of any help to me. He is knowledgeable and great to work with.
5. I had a legal question for Steve, and he suggested I talk to Chris. He actually took the call without having to go through his assistant! The legal advice got me in trouble with many realtors and a call from the real estate commission.
5. Chris actually did respond to one e-mail later (I guess Steve wasn't available), when I was asking for advice on how to do direct mail. His one line response, "Do what I taught in the course."
I know this criticism is going to make Chris very "unhappy", but truth is truth. I won't be surprised if the people running to his aid look like little yellow pills and wear overalls with goggles.
What's awesome about this is that this is the most Chris has ever said anything to me, too bad it took going to a forum.
The reason there are so many "new" one post Chris McClatchey disciples (plus Chris) that just happened to be online perusing Bigger Pockets on a Sunday morning is because I telegraphed to Chris that I was going to post to this forum. So he put out the call to friends and family to rush to his aid.
