I would say that her basic points are to: 1. set things up in entities and take advantage of business tax deductions2. turn whatever you like to do (or are good at) into a business3. hire a personal assistant to free up your time4. invest in several specific categories including real estate, oil and gas, etc.5. spend $10K (as I recall) with her to go through her program (to join her inner circle or whatever it's called).Although I find her a good speaker, as Jon said it's really basic business stuff.

For many contractors and investors it's "out of sight and out of mind".They play stupid.The cost they save on not doing it they will play stupid if they get caught and then negotiate the penalties.It's kind of like when an oil company back in the 80's would save 10 million doing illegal dumping and when finally caught would pay only 2 million in fines so they kept doing it for awhile until the penalties were so harsh there was no benefit anymore.Do you think asset managers on REO's,or uncertified contractors, or listing brokers will mention this stuff to buyers??
