If I was skeptical before, I'm more determined to make it to my DG membership goal.. the weekly wisdom blog session with DG and Matt talking about alternatives and Matt sharing what could've happened had he not taken the risk to be a DG member, has really given me the courage to stick with my goal and become a real estate investor. I know that probably, I won't cash in too much right away, but eventually I will! so, I'm determined to save up and do this...DG, thank you for being my friend!
Let Down
I attended the seminar today in Chandler. Needless to say, my wife and I found it to be a let down and waste of time. We went in expecting to learn something about real estate, but found that everything we had been told about the seminar up to that point was just a ploy to get us there. Heck, Dean wasn't even there! The guy who was leading it did his best to get the crowd excited and interested in the topics, but all it came down to was he was trying to get every one of us to pay $2K for some 3-day course. How are we to know that we aren't paying $2k just to get the same speech? I was really hoping that Dean would be there and would give us some insight as to how his program actually works with concrete evidence to support everything he said. But, instead, we were faced with some guy we had never seen before. How do I know I can trust the guy standing before me? Then they had some woman they claimed was homeless and that they were able to help her gain financial freedom, and that she has been doing deals for the past year now and things are looking up for her. If that's the case, then why was she missing an earring and why did she stand up there as though she wasn't sure of herself, and why did the guy leading the seminar feel compelled to "interview" her rather than allow her to talk on her own to us? It seemed more like she was being led to talk about certain things and then only for a few minutes. It seemed too much of a scam. Needless to say, my wife and I left at the first break. Not to mention that since moving to Arizona (from Nebraska) this past May, my wife and I have literally depleted our savings and have been living paycheck to paycheck, so how in the world does Dean or anybody expect us to come up with $2K to pay for a 3-day seminar? We are NOT about to go into more debt just so we can attend a 3-day seminar. And, what guarantee is there that we would make a deal in the first 90 days when the small print clearly states that the students don't usually make money? A lot of questions have gone unanswered for us. I wanted to pose those questions to Dean, but he was "conveniently" busy making "deals". Yeah, whatever.
