My husband & I attended the "Stock Success System" 3-Day training this weekend in Atlanta, GA. I got to go for FREE because my husband paid $495 & could bring someone for FREE. Our instructor was Mike Power from Loveland, CO, at least that's what he told us his name was. After I tried to Google his name in several different ways - Mike Power, Michael Power, Mike Powers, Michael Powers, & then all 4 ways with Loveland, CO at the end - NOTHING came up about him. The reason I mention this is because, my husband works at a local country club & he told me to type the owners name in on Google & see what I pull up.
I pulled up a lot of info. On him. Mike kept telling us how many companies he has, all the money that he has made, he is a member & on the board of Pentacostal of Loveland Church (which by the way I didn't find the church either, one church was close in name but not what he told us), & he talked about all these things that he did & was going to do. So, my point is if he's so important & has so many companies, shouldn't something pull up about him on Google, like the owner of the country club that my husband works at?
Our table caught him in a lot of lies. On day one, he talked about how his son is 19 years old & an assistant manager of a pizza parlor. On day two, he mentions that in 2000 when the stock market crashed & he lost a lot of money, he son was 15 & wanted to go to something at his high school, but he didn't have the $50 to give him. On day three, he mentioned again how his son was 19. Now the last time that I checked to 2008 is 8 not 4 years. Then he talks about how he has never had televisions in his house because he promotes reading.
At one point, he mentioned how he has a flat screen t.V.in every room so he can watch CNBC no matter where he is in the house. On day three, he mentioned again how he has never had a television in his house because he promotes reading. He talked about how his 23 year old daughter & her two little kids are living with him & his wife because her husband left her & doesn't pay her a dime for the kids. My husband said that he really wished he had raised his hand & asked him that if this was such a great program, why wasn't he teaching his daughter how to do it. He also talked about how he was going to get a Hummer & build a 10,000 square foot home.
My husband & I were really hooked on day one & seriously considering giving them $25,000 for me to go through their training. Then on day two before we left home, my husband prayed & asked God to give us a big sign showing us if we should or shouldn't do this. Well that big sign came when my husband asked two of the guys working with Mike & Mike himself, if they had financing available. There response was for us to get a Visa, Amex, Discover, & Mastercard with a $25,000 limit on them & move the money around between the four credit cards. I think that God smacked us in the face big time! After we were told this, we started educating ourselves & doing all the google searches. After all, they did keep promoting that we needed to be educated. Most of the people there didn't get educated & gave them their money or they put it on a credit card.
Basically, we spent $495 for a three day seminar that ended up being three days of a sales pitch to buy the classes.
I have lost all respect for Robert Kiyosaki after going to this seminar. If he is a reputable man, he needs to get his name AWAY from the Wealth Intelligence Academy or he's going to loose all respect from people who looked up to him. I was talking to my brother about it & mentioned to him about Robert Kiyosaki you know the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He said "Well, there is a rich dad & a poor dad. The rich dad was a motivational speaker who takes the money from the poor dad." After this weekend, I truly believe that.
