In order to make up for my military training/drills my employer allows me to participate with units on the base I am at, I also take my R&R's to conduct additional training with my unit.    

I am actually(regrettably) attending the 3 day $1500 seminar this weekend and got hit with expensive further training packages yesterday.

It sounds to me like you think he has no ethical conscious because he didn't take RE training and become licensed, like you did.

The videos and trainings are literally groups of people spending 1-2 hours passing a low-budget (or no budget) microphone around sharing their RE successes for 2 days, it's mindbogglingly bad.

Every "guru" has some version of wholesaling "training" in their baskets of stuff they sell. 

What kind of training is provided at no cost?

Not to mention the training you will get also.

The money I spent to get trained and coached with them and to leverage on their credibility and network is not cheap but it's worth it.

@John Moorhouse I went to community college and started a personal training business while I attended.

I am interesting in learning this whole process and want to reach some financial freedom and be able to build passive income while spending time with my family, traveling and enjoying life after being gone for so many years with deployments and training.
