BP as a whole tends to be pretty "anti mentorship". With the number of people who've done a few deals trying to sell coaching, I get it.
I will say though that personally and professionally my ROI on paid groups/mentoring has been some of my best investments.
Anytime I'm looking into buying in to a group, mentorship, or program I look at the fruit. Is the person who is selling this uniquely successful in their field? Are they actively doing what they teach? What do I imagine my ROI to be? What are my goals with it?
I paid a (non real estate) group $90,000 last year to teach me how to scale companies, develop core values, mission statements, increase profitability, and more. They paid for themselves in 90 days. I've used what I've learned in that group to buy properties now as well. I've also made some incredibly close friends.
I paid another group this year $20,000 to join a Rei mastermind. I now have access to people all around the country doing hundreds of deals a year in some of the hottest markets. I've already made more than 20k off of that group.
I bought a FB course for $997 a few years back and it was the foundation that has helped me to generate 7+ figures in revenue off of 32k spent on ads.
Sure you can "tough it out" and go it alone but I'd rather pay people to help me short circuit my learning curves.
I spend $140 a week meeting with a clinical psychologist for an hour a week and I've grown more as a human being, business owner, and entrepreneur from learning about myself than I could have fathomed.
Would I spend 20-50k for the weekend seminar upsell deal? Heck no. The "coach" they'll pair you with has probably done 1 deal and it was buying his home with a 3.5% FHA loan.
Would I spend 50k to learn from someone who is doing what I want to do every day? Yes.
We all have a gap from our present reality to where we'd like to be. It all depends on how fast you want to bridge that gap.
