I just attended the first day of a three day course I paid $495 for the "Learn to be Rich" Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad training about Real Estate investing. The entire class was about 'further education' and the instructor kept us referring back to the booklet that had the 'other' 14 or so classes in it. From 9 AM to 11 AM he kept asking "Are you willing to do whatever it takes?" "If it takes money will you do it?" The key is a mentor (they have a 'mentoring' class too). From 11:30 to about 12 PM the 'Success Team' pitched the further education. From 1:00 to 1:30 each table was to discuss the meaning of certain words like urgency, important, imperative, regarding further training. From 1:30 to 1:55 we were to write down our lunchtime homework assignment—we were to go through the course catalogue and pick out 8-12 sources of income that you could dervie from taking these courses, that we would like to learn more about. After lunch we went over the Rich Dad Education pyramid. I wrote down that the instructor mentioned "you'll get 3 days of personal mentorship in the field" again referring to one of the classes.
After lunch we played a $140 board game that taught you absolutely nothing. The instructor kept mentioning $50,000 as an amount to invest in Real Estate. He never mentioned the little and no money down techniques they said in the "teaser course" would be mentioned in this course. Then the instructor mentioned as an aside, that if you had $50,000 you could invest in the courses costing from $10,000 to $40,000 and still have $10,000 to invest in actually buying a property. The property would then make your $40,000 back for you.
