Want to know what upsets me.  Well, a lot of things really, but seriously it’s when people get taken advantage of.  When predatory “experts” prey upon people’s hopes.  Honestly I am not talking about any specific guru out there in this instance, yet I continuously hear the horror stories of people putting their trust in “Gurus” who have the solution for a price making every promise they can under the sun to make the sale…then coming up short (often way WAY short).

Now I used to be one of those types who might have followed the P.T. Barnum approach to business (“A sucker born every day…”) but not anymore.  There are a LOT of people going through rough times right now.  Rough times often equates to people in search of hope, willing to spend their last dollars or even worse sacrifice paying their bills in hope that they might get rich as the “Guru” promises.

Needless to say, I have been very quiet.  Just watching.  Working on some new projects with people who share the same views that I do that will help guide people to true success, and not necessarily at a huge hit to their wallets.

One such project is the Exponential Wealth Conference that I have been working on for some time now with Capt. Pete Gauthier.  It all started when I was sitting in one of his seminars and listened to the questions being asked.  While a lot of them were all about wholeselling real estate, I would are to say that just as many if not more were based on a lack of understanding by the students of basic Negotiations.

After his seminar, while driving him to his Jeep, I mentioned my observations to Pete and he whole heartedly agreed.  It was then that we both decided that we needed to do a “Back to Basics Negotiations Course”.  While perhaps not the sexiest topic, it is actually a skill set that will result in huge profits in any endeavor you may have.  From negotiating the purchase of a house to the negotiation of getting out of spring cleaning (not that I would ever do that…seriously), it is the art of negotiation that will carry you far in almost every aspect of your business and life.

Well, wouldn’t you know it…by the time Pete and I were done creating this one day Negotiation Training it had become a complete three day conference that is all about being a true business.  I’m very excited as this is one of the few conferences that is all about BUSINESS, from real estate investing to online businesses to franchises to traditional businesses, this conference has something for all Entrepreneurs new and seasoned.

Most importantly to me and to Pete is that this conference is not a “Pitch Fest”.  There will be opportunities to buy products etc, but honestly the three days are going to be FILLED with CONTENT.  Anyone who has been through one of Pete’s or my classes knows that we provide pure content, and we are requiring all of our experts to do the same.

This is going to be a break through weekend for a LOT of folks, hopefully we will see you there.

Have no fear…a newsletter is in the works…and I have a great article on Detox Diets…or as a good friend of mine, Jonathon Ross, likes to say “Friends don’t let Friends Detox”
