Recently, attempted to pay for the AI Consulting program, but both my debit card and credit card received string errors. Manual, inform s me this was due to security and I should use an alternative payment method like PayPal or wire transfer. This seems suspicious to me so I’m posting here to see if anyone else has had similar issues. Was there resolve? Has anyone completed the program? From the reviews, all I’ve read are about the webinars which are very insightful. I’d love for this dream to come true and launch my next company, AI Consulting, but at this point the warning signs are posting in a different direction.

Nico — You shared that you’d love for your dream to come true and launch your next company in AI Consulting, but that right now the “warning signs” feel like they’re pointing in a different direction. Let’s start there. When you’re right on the edge of making your dream come true and a small thing like a card authorization interruption happens, it can feel bigger than it really is. We completely understand that frustration. You’re ready to move forward — and then suddenly there’s a processing message. That said, what you experienced is actually very common with higher-value, first-time transactions. Card issuers frequently place temporary authorization limits or require additional approval, especially when a purchase is outside your normal pattern. Sometimes even autofill billing details can trigger mismatches. In many cases, a quick call to the bank, manually re-entering details, or using an alternate method like PayPal or ACH resolves it immediately. And honestly — it’s a good thing they flagged it. If it were us, we’d be grateful our card company double-checked before approving a larger transaction. That’s a courtesy. A couple quick messages or a short phone call, and you’re ready to rock and roll. If there had been a true issue, you’d want it caught — not silently processed. We also see that you had already reached out to us directly, and Manuel responded within minutes. Our team was actively assisting you. That’s why it’s a bit unusual to see a three-star review posted while a very common card-issuer authorization was already being handled in real time. You mentioned wanting your AI Consulting company to launch. As you move into consulting — especially at higher ticket levels — you will encounter this exact situation with your own clients. Payment flags, temporary holds, authorization requests — they’re part of doing business at scale. The key isn’t avoiding them. It’s knowing they’re normal and moving through them confidently. It may simply be that this review was posted in the middle of the resolution process. If that’s the case, it would be amazing if you could consider removing the three-star review for now. Once you’re inside the Consultant Certification and have fully experienced the training, community, and value firsthand, you’re more than welcome to leave a review that reflects your complete and proper experience. That would give future readers the most accurate picture. You also mentioned only seeing reviews about webinars. We have hundreds and hundreds of reviews across multiple programs we’ve delivered over the years — you may just need to scroll further to see those specific to the Consultant Certification, as we offer far more than one program and have been doing so for decades. We’re looking forward to welcoming you in and helping you launch the company you came here to build. — Industry Rockstar
