I don't have what it takes either, nor do I think the "it" that they teach is necessary to achieve the same end result of building wealth. Like you said assuming there is any validity to what's taught.) :D That is a very good point.

Well, you have to be one charismatic son of a bitch to convince buyers, sellers, and lending institutions to agree to some of the things that they teach in these courses. Have you ever heard an announcer of a basketball game say something about a player like, "You just can't teach size or athleticism?" Well, the same goes for salesmenship. It is innate. But it comprises of 90% of what it takes to do any of this. Ask yourself if you have it. I don't, that is why I don't get sucked into these programs anymore, because I know that it is a necessary element to the success of it. The knowledge isn't enough.

As you can see in the comments there seems to be quite a few Kiyosaki apologists. What seems so obvious to me and others seems to pass them by. I doubt Kawasaki has become rich because of his real estate "know-how", but let's just say he did for the sake of this argument. Why would he then feel the need to completely take advantage of people in order to make more money? I think Robert Kiyosaki is a scumbag who has used his authority to get rich off of those he can fool. Patrick — Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience here.

The instructor was such a (good, persuasive, fast) speaker and snake oil salesman, and there were plenty of morons in the crowd who ran to the back to sign up for the "$199" class once the instructor said "For this one time offer, just for you folks, I'm going to drop the price from $599 to $199" I almost walked out right then and there but I was entertained. I'm sure this guy Brent was the best used car salesman on the lot two years running before Kyosaki found him. If something is legitimate, you don't have to use all the secretive, cloke and dagger tactics, like they use. It seems to me that trying to pedal products that teach concepts that real estate "professionals" have used all these years that got our bank and lending institutions in the trouble they are currently in, is pretty irresponsible. They certainly won't work now, now that bank regulations are strict as hell, if they ever worked for anyone at all. There are some who will always try to separate a fool and his money. Ask yourself this: Have you ever met anyone you know that said, "Oh ya, I got rich from the Carlton Sheets real estate manuals" or "the Don Lapre method"? No! Cause it didn't happen. I know that if I legitimately got rich from these guys, I would tell people. But the only testimonials are from scripted actors on the commercials. I have a feeling that these "course instructors" are paid actors. Let me see their actual life histories and portfolios and see if what they claim during their pitches is real or not. The only people getting rich from this information are the people receiving the money that you spend on these courses. Call it Carlton Sheets, Don Lapre, Amway, Primerica, or whatever, but by the time you realize you have been given incomplete, misleading, and bad information, you're probably going to be out $10,000 or more and in debt.

Im also NOT a big fan of seminars. They are too time consuming and non specific as they are speaking/teaching to a crowd rather than an andividual, i think you will learn at a seminar, but you will spend double the time and 20-100 times more money learning through a seminar instead of books or private mentoring. They are not scams, but they are not particularly effective learning methods and often very overpriced. I think seminars ran by successful people should cost a few hundred dollars per day maximum per person, afterall it is a group, so you are not receiving one on one attention and you might as well be listening to a recording and it would have the same effect. Also, as its a group, say 50 people, all spending several hundred dollars, i thinks that enough profit already for the speaker. Anything over this rate i would say is overpriced and just cant be justified. But i dont think its a scam if something is overpriced, like i was saying before about designer handbags (upto $30,000 for a handbag), there simply expensive. I actually just went to a real estate training seminar. Cost $50 for 1 day, i could have learnt the same stuff from a book but it was more fun being out for the day at a seminar. So theres two sides to the coin and people should always think about their personal situation before booking an expensive seminar. JL, good points you made. Im also NOT a big fan of seminars.

Brad, that was by no means a threat, i was trying to point out how annoying and unfair for you it would be if me or people on the internet attacked you/your site like they are attacking Kiyosaki. But for the record i could easily threaten you, how you charge money to your clients from your website to learn how to get out of debt, which is a big contradiction. Why would i accuse you of that? Because im jelous of the success of your website, i tried doing a website like this myself and it was a failure. So you must be doing something scammy because your website is a success. Ok so NON OF THAT IS TRUE and i just made all of that up, but i just wanted to point out how these type of herd like attacks on people usually start. Especially on the internet. Not just with Kiyosaki but anybody with a bit of success/money/fame. You have a good honest website and a noble cause i know. Keep up the good work and i guess lets just agree to not agree like you said along time ago lol. LOL yer it has gone on abit.

Re-read my post. The only part I referred to as a scam was his seminars and how they were run. He has been approached many different times about the practices his "seminar people" use and though it isn't HIM directly involved he is allowing these creeps to use his name which tells me that he really doesn't have that big of a problem with it. You don't think he has anything at all to do with how those seminars are run? Come on man! For the record I said his seminars were a scam in my opinion and that is my opinion. I think they are!!! You8 don't have to agree but just because I am saying they are doesn't make it so, it's just what I think about it. Some people (like yourself) may not agree, but I consider his seminars a scam. It's not just price it's something he's endorsing, allowing bad advice to be given putting people in loads of debt all for the promise that they are somehow going to benefit from doing so because he is Robert Kiyosaki. He's using what credibility he did have to make false promises to people at a cost of $45,000. Also, there's nothing you could threaten me with my friend (even if you were) because I hold strong to my principles about debt freedom and GO OUT OF MY WAY not to make a buck off of someone else doing something that goes against what I teach. I turn down ad after ad for hundreds of dollars from people trying to push debt, debt consolidation, bankruptcy and so forth. If I were running a site like mine and you found out I was pushing debt for dollars in some way, you would have a legitimate complaint against me and my site. But you don't because I won't do what Kiyosaki has done to make a buck. I literally CANNOT keep going on and on with you about this man. Re-read my post.

Wouldnt you hate it if i started a rumor online about you that you where actually scamming the people who you claim to help? Destroying all of your effort and good work? (thats not a threat dont worry lol). Thats what has happended here with Kiyosaki, nothing but rumors and people destroying his name out of jelousy, people who took his advice and where not able to make millions then start moaning. Yes im aware he had complaints, have you seen his audiences? Doesnt every single company have complaints? There will always be moaners and complainers. Thats life. Do you own a profitable business yourself Brad? You do realise it takes a strong/aggressive sells team, constant promoting, marketing etc right? I dont think theres people alive today who are naive enough to think Kiyosakis Seminar company was just randomly holding a FREE Seminar for nothing in return. OBVIOUSLY they would also be selling and advertising more products and wanting the custmer to buy more/spend more. You do realise that is the overall goal of a business? Last time i checked it is perfectly legal to sales talk your clients into buying more. That is the objective. Now, holding a gun to your head and making you buy, that would be illegal, but otherwise, ADULTS are responsible for their own actions/decisions, if they decide to buy or not, i dont think kiyosaki put a gun to anybodys head. Yes that speaker i saw in the youtube clip was an arrogant disgusting human being, who went beyond aggressive selling. It was disgraceful to see how he acted. You cannot hold Kiyosaki responsible for that though, as soon as Kiyosaki discovered the salesman behaviour he requested for him to be fired. So just to confirm Brad, you have declared him as a scammer/con man because of 3 things, he has complaints made against the seminar company which he doesnt own but has allowed them to use his name for a fee. The seminars (which isnt his company) involve selling their other products & the final reason is products are expensive? Sorry i guess im just not that type of person who starts attacking people without concrete evidence. Thats great you are helping people get out of debt.

I think it gives people the chance to really air out the dirty clothing and get their experience out there. I know a lot of people who have a very good experience at these seminars and I know people who have bad experiences. More bad than good. I think the best way to learn is from 1. Books 2. Your local REI group Even then though people are going to upsell you on things. Once the following Investors Producers Marketers Franchise owners Martial Arts Instructors Beauty Pageants etc Start selling "How To" information and profit they instantly stick to that route. I don't blame them.. It's easy money. They are capitalizing on peoples "dreams" just like 90% of the business out there do. They charge what they charge because people (clients) set the tone and value. If no one was buying it at the redic price then they would have no choice but to lower their prices. My cousin just lost $50,000 putting his children through beauty pageants... Because the manager he hired said " Yes you can win it shouldn't be that hard" etc and all these other encouraging words... was it a scam no... was it too much.. I think so but who am I? We are in the information age right now most people don't do anything with the info they have and feel a need to go to an actual event and they are willing to pay for such when there are countless Books Training material CHEAP on ebay and other bookstores... It's just like learning how to produce music for 100.00 a month from someone but if Dr Dre were to teach a session and charge $7,000 people would pay because of the name... is he scamming you? no not at all people were willing to pay because of his name then got mad when they found out he doesn't do anything different than the next music producer I'm not against nor an I for the seminars.. I'm just throwing another view on it... My partner of course things seminars are great me not soo much... if you are going to pay $5,000 or something like that you need to be getting 1 on 1 training that's just my take on it Brad,

Im asking you or anybody else to PRESENT EVIDENCE that this guy is a scammer, yet nobody including yourself can do so. Hence why i am saying what you are doing is wrong and unfair. Can you imagine if somebody else was bad mouthing you on the internet and not even presenting evidence. I dont take sides for the sake of it, when i heard about all this ''scam'' business i looked into it alot and i never found anything other than gossip. Have you seen the clip on youtube where he is explaining he simply licensed his name out? just like Donald trump and hundreds of other celebrity status entreprenuers/business men who license their name and preachings to a seminar company. He said in the youtube clip he is trying to get out of his contract with the seminar company who is damaging his name and reputation. Do you honestly think somebody like Robert kiyosaki who is already a multi millionaire will commit such fraud and damage his built up reputation (which is earning him great money from book sales) just for a bit of extra cash from seminars? You do realise that most of his causes are only $1000-6000, the majority of that would go to the seminar company, a tiny portion (usually 10% for licensing) would go to Robert Kiyosaki. The seminar company would be making a killing. Also i guess you didnt read all of my post, GOLD AND SILVER HAVE been the among the BEST PERFORMING investments you could have made over the past years when Robert Kiyosaki gave out this FREE advice in his books. Ive read alot of books about entreprenuers, Richard Branson, Duncan Bananntyne, all of whom used credit cards/high leverage to follow their dreams. I have been using the same principal on a small level and it has been showing positive results for me too. Brad, unless you can show proof that Kiyosaki is a scam artist then in my eyes your twice as bad for attacking an innocent victim. I dont care who is wright or wrong, lets just hope the real truth comes out. Take Care. Im not refusing to look at individual complaints.
