STOP.
I went to this event with Kevin O'Leary, as the guest speaker. Don't waste your time, he talks for about 20 minutes. But that's not what this review is about. This review is about response. We signed up for both the real estate and stock class. As many other bad reviews stated, we were promised a lot of things that were not given. As someone younger, trying to make a life for myself, I think wasting a whole weekend for nothing but a sales pitch is unfair and a complete waste of 1K. I would really appreciate my money back, but this company only cares about taking that away from you. To the point where I've gotten multiple charges on my bank statement that I was never informed of. So let's start off with the real estate class. I walked in and it was a room full of wide-eyed excited people looking to change their life. And response really takes that and twists it. They talk to you so much about making the next move and setting things in motion and not continuing on the same life Journey that you're on now, but instead looking to a brighter future. All so that they can then tell you on day 3 to sign up for a $30,000 class. Isn't that funny? They said that they would have one-on-one meetings with us, so that they could talk to us about the next steps that they think would work best for us and our financial situation. But what they really meant was that they would sell us their extended class and that's all that they did with that meeting time. So if you're looking to the 3 day class in hopes that that one-on-one meeting will help you, it won't. Initially, we did sign up for the extended education. And even put some money down that we saved up. We later needed to cancel and messaged the event coordinator, jon. Who never got back to us, when reaching out again, all they said was ask the other guy, Jake. So we message the other guy, and they never got back to us (ever). So that whole "we will be on your side and supporting you and helping you"was just a bunch of talk. Anyway, we then had to message response themselves since the people that said there were there for us weren't. And the lady on the phone had the nerve to tell me they had a 3-day cancellation policy. After a quick argument on the phone, she said if we sent over the texts as proof, then we could get our down payment that we put on the class. So in case you are looking to sign up for any of their classes, just keep in mind that there is only a three day refund policy. Once we were told we could get our refund back, I asked if the software that they offer would also be canceled or if that was a different process. The lady said that she wasn't sure and someone would follow up with me. Lo and behold , nobody ever got back to me and when I checked my bank statements, there was the monthly subscription charge. I sent a message to them asking for it to be canceled and telling them the situation, they never bothered to get back to me. Another interesting thing that happened, they ask you if you want to get an LLC created with their partnered company. They say it's part of the package , but it's actually an additional 450 bucks. That they don't mention. I've opened up an LLC before, and did it for about 125. The speaker at the initial event mentioned that if we made a sale at the class and they would help us with that, that we would get refunded for the price of the initial class which was 1K. They mentioned that the only reason they even priced it so much was to make sure the only very interested parties could go and they would not waste their time with no shows. There's so many things wrong with everything I just said. The refund only applies if you make a sale within the first 6 months. But they did nothing to help us during the three-day class which is what was initially told to us. Maybe all of the sales speakers should get their info together before misinforming us. It feels that they only wanted people that could afford 1K on the spot so that they could later sell them for 30k. This whole situation seemed more like an extremely thought plan against hopeful people. From the extremely expensive classes to the scare tactic of giving limited-time offers, to the having Financial people there onsite to help you sign up for multiple credit cards just to pay for it, to the 3-day refund plan and all the additional extra payments, to even having the first lesson on their platform be about risk management, they have set everything up perfectly for people to fall into their trap, and have done everything they could to protect themselves. I guess we can move on to the stocks class. Again it was informative, about the basics. Our instructor even went as far to tell us about the things he couldn't talk to us about until we signed up for the classes. We went there hopefully yet again, thinking it was a smaller organization and more personal. But as the first and second day went on, it seems like exactly the same as the first time. We didn't even bother going the third day, even with all of the additional calls and messages from the sales people to come back or make it later in the day to sign up. Ultimately I'm taking the time to share my experience because people should not have to go somewhere so hopeful and be coaxed into something that will not benefit them . They take a lot of effort to mention that this isn't for everyone and that you really have to set your mind to it and do things in order to make it. But if I were to learn things on my own with a couple mentors that may or may not get back to me, then I can just keep my money instead of paying 30k. Their customer service is awful, they choose who they want to get back to, they pay people for their good reviews. In fact that's the only way to really get your initial refund back. There might be someone in their PR department responding back to this message, but I really don't care because it's basically a cookie cutter response of them defending themselves. So, do what we didn't do, and don't do this.
