This month we have a self-storage expert as our guest speaker....and tonight we are hosting Bigger Pocket's own Brandon Turner out our Kitsap Satellite meeting....if you can make it let me know and I will get you a guest pass.

Thanks Ann, I was at the meeting in Waltham last week that was great info from the speaker and I made some connections too.

The speaker was a little much but I think I made a couple good connections.

Robert Adams I don't have a featured speaker for this meetup.

Apparently, every heir in my county lawyers up...I heard in a podcast or an interview that the guest speaker doesn't deal with lawyers in these cases with probate prospecting.Does this really have any influence on my probate marketing strategy?

I don't usually listen to the speakers I am just there to network etc...

I found him rude and arrogant and wound up somewhat amused by his act by the end of the day.I was a complete newbie and probably totally naive - this was the first speaker I had ever seen through our REIA - and I wound up signing up for a weekend conference that was supposedly being put on by a guest speaker who came in for an hour during that day (I didn't want anything to do w/Foxx, but I thought this other speaker had potential).

Raymond B. and Ann Bellamy are right on the words of caution ... and I would agree with Ann, J Scott's books are amazing and packed with solid, useable info.At the same time, if a speaker/guru can help give you a road map to follow and save you some time and trouble, I say go for it if the price is reasonable.

Drove away and realized they forgot a fry, so I went back to the speaker and told them.

I quit going to the meetings because there were too many guru speakers at the big meeting, and the small one (the NW Denver meeting) was repetitive.
