If so then you should have a serious conversation with your cpa to figure out the tax benefits of pursuing one strategy over another?  

However, those few who are financially saavy and have integrity and grit I believe will benefit from it until they are able to have enough experience to go off and do their own thing, charge less fees and be able to have more repeat business while keeping a much higher ROI themselves.And NO, i've never been in this program, been around much longer than he even thought of this revenue stream.

Otherwise a total waste of time and money.Likewise entities, "building my team", "setting everything up correctly" and all that other fluff that benefits only people who set it up for you.
