Dean's Inner Circle is a special group of people that is joined by invite only. The general criteria we look for to bring people into the Inner Circle is the following:
- 500 or more points
- All badges
- Someone who has demonstrated their real estate investment knowledge and commitment
- Someone who has actively participated to help others and grow the board
Inner Circle members have access to the private Inner Circle forum (hidden from display until you are member), where they can discuss advanced topics in REI, propose new tools or ideas, help steer the direction of deangraziosi.com, and more with other members and Dean Graziosi himself.
The Inner Circle is not meant as form of excluding regular members, but is a way to reward exceptional users in the community, garner their unfettered feedback and come up with ways to enhance the community for everyone through new systems, improvements and tools. Also, since topics may be in the realm of theory, experimental or otherwise not ready for practice by new students, it will keep confusion and contradiction a minimum so those users can focus on the proper principles.
Inner Circle members should continue posting in the public forums for most items, but use the Inner Circle forum to get feedback from Dean and other expert users, give feedback and ideas regarding the site and ways to increase their success in REI through the use of experimental strategies and tools.
Inner Circle members are also recognized for their outstanding performance through rewards.
Anyone who has met the above criteria is encouraged to contact us so we can review your history on the site and give access as warranted.
Thank you,
-DGadmin
A FEW WORDS
DGAdmin and Dean:
I just want to thank you. I view this as a very special opportunity for me to grow and learn even more.
Anita
Thank you
DGAdmin and Dean:
I also want to thank you for the community you have provided here. It's been very helpful to me. I am curious what it takes to earn all the badges? Is that posted somewhere or is it just a subjective decision? No prob. if it is just curious. I'd like to be a part of the inner circle. I know it may take a little time to do, but I also know that all goals are attainable.
Thanks again!
Jeff
Me too!
What does it take to earn badges. Does that also realate to the tag we all get; 'Lurker', Site Participant' etc. No-one seems to be able to answer what they mean?????????
Let us know PLEASE. I want to get there too!
Answer from 5/21/08 to same question
I don't know if anyone answered your questions about the badges yet, but each badge is given out for different contributions a member makes and the name, such as "lurker", correlates with the number of points they have obtained. If you would like to know the name of each badge, try pointing your cursor over one, and you should be able to see the name. Don't worry about the "Lurker" title. We all started out as that.
Rina
Yeah, but it really does not tell you much!
Rina,
It does not tell us why we get the label; like I am just a 'Site Regular'? What does that imply. That I am here but not contributing much?
And how do we know what 'medals' we have to aim for to be taken seriously enough?
I know, like most things, I do over think everything.
Thanks for the information though!
patience :-)
If you look through the forums, you'll notice the different titles (levels). To me it never mattered much because I was just here to learn and to share. One day I had noticed my badges and was like "Oh? Thank you." I'm not sure what the criteria are for each, but just keep doing what you're doing. Be a good site contributer (meaningful information and encouragement) and you'll keep moving up.
Best wishes to everyone.
Rina
P.S.
When you step foot out and start working on some deals, even "practice" ones, that goes a long way in showing your dedication and determination. DG likes to see people in action, not just wishing. Then you'll have some great experiences to share in here, too, and help others catch the spirit.![Smiling Smiling](http://mail.deangraziosi.com/modules/smileys/packs/example/smile.png)
Give it your all, everybody! You'll be glad you did!
Rina
Thank You DG Admin....
I just wanted to thank the Admin and Inner Circle Superstars for their support and confidence in me! I will hold this position with the highest respect and integrity that I hold myself to. Let me just say that my input had NOTHING to do with merits or badges. It was simply that I truly enjoy helping others! I have done deals, and I do have experience. Although, I lost my confidence that doesn't mean I lost the knowledge I've gained. Being a part of the DG family gave me my confidence back and for that I'm eternally grateful.![Laughing out loud Laughing out loud](http://mail.deangraziosi.com/modules/smileys/packs/example/lol.png)
God Bless All The DG Family!!

Being here on this site gives a person SO much more confidence. It is really like having that wind beneath your wings. You think about everyone's support as you're out there trying to find or seal a deal. It really motivates me in all my decisions lately!
So glad to have Dean and everyone here.
Congratulations, Elena.

Hello!
Just wanted to introduce myself to the group. My name is Joe and lived in Central Florida. I am new RE investor. Altough, I had purchase houses in the past, but never as an investment purpose. I am looking to learn from all of you, and share some experiences as well. I been reading Dean's books and I am very impressed... I have many other courses on RE, but I believe that his books are more appropiate for this time and season of RE market. Again, thanks for letting me be part of this group!
BB,

So DGAdmin is giving out the badges like medals and so on, right?
Or am I wrong?

Great Benefit - Inner Circle
Thank you for explaining the inner circle. I am still learning about everything the DG website has to offer and still trying to find out how to get badges and be more of an active user. Each day I get more excited because I find out somenthing new on the DG website. I am so thrilled to be able to participate and it is something I wish I would have joined long ago. I hope one day to be part of the inner circle. I believe it makes the world a better place to share knowledge and inspiration. Good luck on all your deals! Believe and Achieve!![Smiling Smiling](http://mail.deangraziosi.com/modules/smileys/packs/example/smile.png)

I’m not going to do a deal till I’m older! My credit is going to be clean like a Windex window lol! Any way I’m not going to do a deal because I can’t afford to mess up! I hear all over messing up is good for you it helps you learn! But I want to learn so I won’t mess up! Or learn on other people mistakes (I know it sounds mean but you can learn from other peoples mistakes) I’m just going to keep on studying and learning!![Smiling Smiling](http://mail.deangraziosi.com/modules/smileys/packs/example/smile.png)

Hi Everyone, I am really excited about recently joining the Academy and the things I am learning. I have the drive and commitment to become an inner circle member, however, my progress is much slower than I anticipated. Regardless, I will be relying on the expertise of all of you and look forward to one day helping others in the same way.
Congrats!
Congratulations on joining the Academy! All that matters is that you are on the right track. Arriving to your destination at your pace is ok! Much success to you...........Lubertha
