Default I'm Such A Sucker - 04-17-2008, 11:47 AM

Even since I posted the sales letter for my real estate seminar,
I've received dozens of sob stories via email, PM, and phone.

It must be all the yoga I'm doing because I genuinely feel badly
so many people want to attend and can't because of the price.

Now it was only a number of years ago that I was in their shoes.

And I've never forgotten how badly it feels to be poor.

I'm such a soft touch.

So I've slashed the price on my seminar, refunded the difference
to people who've already paid, and made it affordable.

Now for all of you fighting with your spouses about whether
you can afford to go, you can.

And show up.

Peace.

Harlan

PS. As for the person who offered to name their first born
after me if I let him in for free, that was a really nice try.

When are you guys gonna hold one of these in the UK?

Even if some of us can afford the price of the seminar, the air fare and hotel bills usually rule it out.

So you want them to pick up the expense of the air fare and hotel? Not to mention the extra time and inconvenience?

Erm, no.

It was just a question.

It's not like people don't hold seminars in other countries.

Edit: Besides, he'd probably make more money than he'd spend.
There are people in the UK who would love to attend this type of seminar but find the additional expenses prohibitive.

Edit: I think some people would be chuffed to find they have fan bases in other countries.

There's a Dan Kennedy seminar in London at the end of the year. September, I think. It's being promoted by Chris Cardell.

Jay Abraham has been to London a few times, but he now seems to do his overseas seminars in the Asian market - Singapore, Hong Kong, etc - areas where the next wave of billionaires will be created...

As for the expenses, these are more than cancelled out by the high value of the pound versus the dollar. Harlan is asking for $995 - about £500 at today's rates - that's less than a weeks wages for the averag industrial worker.

The real killer is the time - you need to arrive at least one day early to account for jet lag. Then when you get back on (say) the Monday you spend all of that day, and the Tuesday, recovering!!!

Rezbi,

The site for the seminar is; http://www.entrepreneur2008.co.uk/

Like I said, Dan Kennedy will be there, as will Duncan 'Ahm Ooot' Bannatyne. If you book before 6pm tomorrow (Tuesday) it's £500 off the entry.

Cheers,

Garrett

P.S. Dr Kilstein - sorry for the thread hijack.
