Hi Andrew
I'll be at the event too and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm hoping that once we go through the paperwork and all, we are ready to go with purchasing tax liens – I'm a bit tired of outlaying money for stuff and then finding that I need to outlay even more to actually go do what it is that was promised.
Here's hoping its a good one!
Hey Kwanzee
I agree with what you're saying, and with the support katchw and Dwolfe give too.
I signed up also for the tax liens thing, a big deal as I'll be travelling down from Bris (so there's another couple $100 in flights and accom) but you know what, you never get anything if you don't try. And its easy for others to knock what we learned – they are coming at it from ignorance, not education. When I get those knocks, I remind myself – the people who are making these comments, are they financially free? Have they made wise investment choices? And the answer is always the same… sadly, no.
So what if I lose 1k in trying to find out a better system to put myself ahead – 1k is better than 10k, or 50k… and who knows, I just might make some money…
This was the first conference I have ever been to and whilst I really enjoyed quite a lot of it, I’m not sure I’d attend again.
Having spent money on airfare, accommodation and of course the ticket itself, I expected that I would learn a lot, like I do from Steve’s books. I came along hoping to find out more about investing in the US, and to sort out in my mind how to implement the various strategies I had been reading about.
The first session, and to be fair any of the Steve McKnight sessions, was brilliant – just what I needed and just what I was looking for. The Pat Mesiti stuff was good – provided you ignored hype for his product. And Ron the memory guy was fab.
But the blatant sales pitches of some of the others after a time was simply too much to bear – and their so called discounted prices were clearly aimed at the rich and those who have money to burn.
Highlights? Steve of course. Li the Mao’s last dancer guy. Pat Mesiti when you looked past the hype. Lowlights? There was one clear winner… drum roll… Peter Daniels. The man was soooooo terribly boring. I took the opportunity to skip his sessions and talk to people in the expo.
If the next conference is going to be more of the same, I suspect I respectfully will decline to attend. I don’t need to pay that much for blatant sales pitches… but if the next conference is going to be more about educating the investor (without trying to sell anything) then I would happily be there.
