I am just sick sick sick of all these Gurus and their "Millionaire Summits" and "Real Estate Wealth Opens"! How is it that investors still go to these things and not think that they are going to be pitched up until they throw up!
I have a real desire to continue to create my ideal real estate club which is free of pitch fest meetings and seminars. My idea is to mainly sell the workshops, classes, trainings up front from quality educators who are doing deals NOW. What does this mean? It means that we will charge anywhere from $49 bucks for a few hour class to about $350 bucks for an all day class, to about $900-1200 for 2 whole day workshops. ALL OF THESE are pitch free. You pay up front - money is made for the speaker and for the club - so there is no need to sell! You get quality education. Everyone is happy! Why oh why won't you do it?
Now I ask you... wouldn't you rather pay upfront for training (that would include the product there is one) than sit all day long - or worse 2-3 days, listening to speaker after speaker come in and pitch you? Only for you to go home with all your product and still not know what to do? How long are you willing to contribute to this vicious cycle people? The pitch fest "gurus" and seminars are laughing all the way to the bank. Let me tell you a secret... come closer, closer....
They don't care if you ever buy a house!
Heck - they don't even care if you spend your last dime on the product to buy it. Just buy it! How
many of these gosh darn son-of-a-bee-hive events are you going to continue to go to people???
And another thing... what's up with real estate investors clubs that constantly pitch you some freaking wealth expo, wealth summit, millionaire summit, b.s? They claim to care about you but all in all - they only care about how much product you buy. For shame...
NOW DON'T get me WRONG. I do care about how much money you I get paid to put on all these events and meetings - but I seem to have a silly notion that I can provide a quality education and networking environment for you and me - and still get paid well to do so... this is called a fair exchange. Do I intend to make millions of dollars a year selling you product? Hell No! Sigh.... and that seems to be my problem apparently. Especially to those "gurus" and god help me the wanna-be "gurus". They seem to think that I am silly to think that I can grow my club and make money doing so if I don't give in to the status quo and start pitching their cockamamie product and events. Heck - they even scoff at me and tell me things like "Rosie you can't change the world"... (seriously - I had a "guru" say this to me last week when I was upset about the the whole guru b.s. pitch fest!)
I intend to make a decent and fair return for my work in having this real estate club - however my plan is to make millions doing real estate deals! All kinds of deals! Not to sell you useless and not-up-to-par product. Do I believe there is valuable and really good educational product out there? YES! But it is very few and far between I must say.
I apologize for my pissosity- but if I see another bull crap email from someone promoting the next "millionaire wealth expo" I am going to explode and maybe even start exposing those product pushing events for what they are! Well.. that is, more so than I do now.. hee heee heee.
Come on fellow investors - Help me! I don't ever want to see another one of my investor friends tell me how much money they spent on product, coaching or mentoring that didn't help them at all!
