The speaker said he starts getting good response at 4 months.

The part that turned me off was the main speaker crying on stage after sharing personal information about his childhood.

He teaches classes now and is a guest speaker at REI groups and for other speakers such as Mr.

@Brian Burke I'm planning to attend next months Sonoma County Investor Meetup, I am expecting it to be very informative with the Director of the Permits and Resource dept. as the guest speaker. 

I went to a great club meeting where the speaker/flipper opperated on a 5% margin, how cold that be.  

The speaker is someone who works with Larry Toomey. 

There is a group out in the valley that seems to be an ok group but also brings in speakers to promote a mentor program.

DIG does have the occasional national speaker / guru come to town, but the frequency of that has been reduced over the past decade.And DIG subgroup meetings are a good place to get better acquainted with investors who are also attending.

Honestly I have never been one for Self help books or motivational speakers.
