If it's simple enough that it can be taught in a weekend, it's not worth paying $20,000-$50,000 for.If it takes a whole weekend of diamond-hard selling to get someone to buy it, it's not worth paying $20,000-$50,000 for.There are good courses out there for reasonable prices (Ben Leybovich comes to mind) but this type of 'lock you in a pep-rally' sales....I'm not a fan at all.
