The problem with these "GURU" programs, and I believe it's intentional, is they try to make it seem easy and that the only missing piece is the information they're providing, they don't mention anything about the type of work ethic you need to have, the type of personality you need to be in this business, the type of interpersonal skills you must have, etc...If you get the information in that book/DVD/seminar then you're golden, and that's the biggest fallacy.
