would like to hear peoples input into seminars and whether they beleive that these 2-3 day seminars are beneficial?
I personally think that you might as well grab $3,000 and burn it. Quick rich quick scheme prevail for very few people. These people who are making $3,000 per person, per seminar are making pretty good money.
Let me know your thoughts?
Cheers
There is no doubt some are ‘scams’. I went to one years ago that charged $5500, they had a money back guarrantee so I took the opportunity to get my money back.
However, some of these courses can be useful – if you implement what you are taught.

I agree with Terry.
You need to evaluate the course content and see if the cost is of value to you. Find out what the course is about – get the details first up. It might not be a good move spending $5000 on a business course when you’re a registered nurse who loves what you are doing. That’s $100 per week for a year!
Many $5000+ courses may not be of any value, especially if they hold back information and tell you that you need to pay another $3000 for another course to get further information.
But if you do spend $5000 on a course and use the information/tools/systems that you learn and make $50,000 then that may be a good return. You need to implement what you learn in the course – that’s the key!

I think this is a great article that helps you determine scammers from legit..

Are you asking if all seminars are scams or more specifically that all 2-3 day seminars might be? Or just those that cost over a certain amount?
If one looks at this realistically it is obvious that seminars are just another form of business, and the purpose of a business is to make a profit. And there is nothing wrong with that. The question is – what benefit is there to the attendee. If the purpose of the seminar is to make money by offloading properties at a profit then this is of no educational benefit and almost certainly not win-win.
If however, the purpose is to educate people, such as Steve’s seminars then this is win-win and the benefit is ultimately determined by what the attendee does with that education.Good to be sceptical, good to be cautious but also good to be open minded (mind works like a parachute – best when it’s open).
Cheers
