I don't know what to do. So far I have read one of dean's books and in it it recommends the Success Academy. I called yesterday and everything was fine, but when i discussed it with my mom she said no. I then go online and hear bad things of the Success Academy/PMI. I know that i can realize my dreams through real estate, but i need further guidance and direction that i believe that i can get through PMI. Should i believe the negative things about PMI? Can others who went through the Success Academy give me advice?
