Great posting forum on this topic and I think it goes for any seminar training company not just Rich Dad training.I believe in helping or working with and investor and making monies in the deal or transaction and yes training is important thing to budget but putting one in financial straits on training is not IMHO the way to go.If investors or training is confident yes pay a reasonable fee and the monies should be make to pay back the training in the actual deal you do and make monies and maybe do a split 50/50 so really you earn when you learn literally..I have made my share of mistakes and agree knowledge is needed and as one poster stated networking is the key in this business..I use a specific system of investing and if I work with somebody who can help me I train them as part of the deal so they are knowledgeable as well.Good investing to all..
