It's hard to say, as I'm still new and looking to gain traction, but at the moment I frankly feel a bit ripped-off, as it seems these guys aren't making enough hundreds of thousands of dollars annually doing deals- they need to add a coaching cash cow to their menu while preaching about the importance of being "go-givers".
