3 Day Mega Conference opinion.

I won’t be returning for Sunday. I am unhappy that I’ve had to sit through a series of pitches for products some of which have a tenuous connection to investing in property. The straw that broke the camel’s back was Aussie Rob. 90 minutes of fluff and pitch. What annoys me most is not the waste of my money or time but that I put off helping some people this weekend to attend a series of patronising infomercials.

Two days was enough! Last night, after two full days of giving this conference a chance to dig itself out of the pit of commercialism, I had to throw down my shovel and go home.
To say I was disappointed is an understatement. While I feel the conference may be worthwhile for those fairly new to PI world, or may be “movitational” for the procrastinators out there, it has proved little more than a giant infomercial for this investor. Keynote speakers at times were like church revivalists, brainwashing us with their hype and handraising choruses of affirmations – all aimed towards the inevitable sales pitch for their product at the end of the address. This conference was advertised as being educational. Imagine if our universities were educating our doctors, scientists and engineers in this manner!!!!!!! I wanted, and paid for, information, education and facts. What I got was teasers, hype and fluff.
Day Two was particularly “painful” – one workshop meant we only had one chance to personalize our conference experience – the rest of the time we were sheep to the sales-pitch slaughter. Aussie Rob was a stand out in all the wrong ways. How could it take 90 minutes to tell us nothing! If a 7 year old can do his “system”, why do we need to spend thousands of dollars on his product and spend hours listening to his CDs etc to learn it? What did he actually “teach” us that we wouldn’t learn in a 1 min ad on TV? Nothing, I suspect.
While Carly Crutchfield was highly motivated herself, I have her DVD at home and just endured a live presentation of it! Why should I spend my money to see her present the same address live. One of the PropertyInvesting.com team told us that this was because “people learn in different ways and it helps some people hear it and see it live rather than on DVD or reading a book”!!! Bollocks to that!
This conference needed shorter keynote addresses, NO sales hype allowed in addresses (leave that to the sales stands outside where we can choice whom to approach) and more workshops so we could personalize our experience and education.
Dissatified, I won’t be going today. Having given up 2 work days already, I do not deem it to be smart use of my time to travel one hour each way to sit through more at the Church of PI Marketing.

Well said magbof! 
Action will occur – fear not DWolfe! You seem to think that we are in some way obliged to find the positive. I PAID for the positive to be delivered in spades – at best I got the odd whiff of mediocre.
I too heard the sheep bleating. They were all standing, sitting and raising their hands on command, repeating mantra and dutiful "picking up what everyone was putting down!". That, DWolfe, is mob mentality. At least we had the guts to call it as we were seeing it, quit and using our time wisely this weekend. Today (Sunday) has been spent totally focussed on property – just not been sold to at the conference!
Glad to hear you stuck it out and that you have found a few nuggets – all the best with your PI.

My 3 cents.

I want to thank Steve for his prayers and for putting together a great conference.

I was quite shocked when Steve gave his blessing to “Aussie” rob . At the end of aussie robs speech i felt awfully dirty. I could not tell everyone how surprised i was as people RUSHED to the front to buy his system.

When i had the chance i changed my facebook status to simply say ” lemmings “. I thought it was a good fit.

Apart from that my favourite speakers were ron white ( whose system i bought ) and carly.

All in all i found the 3 day exercise useful and will be going to the next one.

Hi,

Just wanted to thank Steve and the team for putting the conference together, as people who are new to property investing this has been invaluable. There are a few people bagging the conference here, but I would say this event is what you make of it. The hardest part was probably just deciding what 'product' was best for you. From what I've been able to find out, the product that Aussie Rob sells DOES work, BUT you will need to put a lot more work into it than he was saying in his presentation. You also have to follow his process to the letter or you will get burned, and this is probably where some of the complaints come from. I didn't buy his product in the end because it was not what we were looking for. I believe Steve has done his homework and all these presenters and products are of definite value, just not to everyone. I've enrolled on the Results program and really excited about the opportunity that this will give us to sack our bosses
