Disappointing experience for a $5,000+ investment
I have mixed feelings about this program, and I contemplated writing this for a while, but ultimately, I do not feel it was worth the investment. My first concern was the sales process. I felt pressured to make a decision on the enrollment call because of the emphasis on how much money I would save by signing up immediately. For a program that costs thousands of dollars, I don’t think people should feel rushed into making such a significant financial commitment. Plus they didn’t reveal how much until on the call. I did enjoy parts of the course, and I learned a few things I wasn’t expecting to learn. However, I was genuinely surprised by how generic I found many of the astrological placement interpretations. They felt very basic and surface level, and if I had paid for an individual reading that consisted of those descriptions, I would have been extremely disappointed. I expected much more depth, nuance, and practical application from a program at this price point. I felt like because of the basic interpretations I was turning to AI too much to complete readings, and that made me feel like a fraud. (And made me feel like I wasted my money) The coaching was my biggest disappointment. I liked my coach as a person, but our calls rarely focused on astrology or building a business. Instead, much of the time was spent having general conversations about life. There is nothing wrong with that in itself, but it is not what I expected to be paying thousands of dollars for. I felt as though I was paying over $5,000, plus interest, for conversations I could have had with a friend rather than receiving the specialized guidance I enrolled for. I also believe the program would benefit from having coaches with more substantial, demonstrable experience running successful astrology businesses. If a program is teaching people how to build a business, I would expect its coaches to be able to offer practical business strategies, meaningful feedback, and guidance grounded in their own experience and results. To be fair, I did gain confidence in my ability to give readings, and I started creating more content and getting some readings myself. That was a positive outcome. However, I attribute much of that progress to the confidence I gained from putting myself out there and practicing, plus my previous years of business and social media experience. I believe I could have developed that confidence organically without making such a substantial financial investment. In my opinion, the educational content was worth a fraction of what I paid, perhaps around $300, and I personally did not find the coaching component provided meaningful value. That is an enormous gap between the price and what I felt I actually received. I am still paying for this program, which makes the experience even more frustrating. Looking back, I wish I had been given more time to evaluate the offer rather than feeling pressured by the promise of immediate savings. I would strongly encourage anyone considering enrolling to ask detailed questions about the depth of the curriculum, what coaching sessions actually involve, and the coaches’ real-world business experience before committing. Ultimately, I went into this genuinely wanting to learn and build something for myself. I did take away a few positives, but they do not justify the cost for me. Based on my experience, I would not make the same investment again.
