This workshop is loaded with investment knowledge for the average person to be successful in investing. If you are worried about it being one of those workshops that want you to buy something or invest in something it is not. The people teaching and the coaches involved are so nice and just want you to learn.

Phil Town and his team are great and real! They give real world examples and really breakdown the required tools to financial freedom! I would recommend this course to anyone that is serious about putting in the time and effort to gain financial freedom.

This was such an amazing workshop! There is an enormous amount of information you learn and are able to put into practice. This is great for anyone wanting to learn how to value a company and learn about the stock market. I would recommend doing some minor research on terminology prior to attending if your knowledge of the stock market is zero. Overall a great atmosphere and great group of people! Highly recommend. Also there is no sales pitch - it is actually an educational program focused on your learning and excelling in the market.

if you’re skeptical, don’t be. A lot of times these types of seminars, even when they’re paid for, there’s always some sort of thing they’re trying to sell or trying to hook you on some product or service. Rule 1 investing is not that at all. The only thing I could chalk it up to is that Phil and the rest of the team is fundamentally driven by wanting people to achieve financial freedom so they can be good communitarians to our society and their immediate families. The conference days are long, but if you’re as invested and interested in what they have to share, it goes by very quickly. I took a red eye out to Georgia from Los Angeles, had may be about two hours of sleep on that flight, and was able to stay awake the entire first day from 8 AM to 9 PM. That’s how good they are keeping you engaged while they teach the rules and fundamentals of what they do day in a day out in their investing. Not only do they teach you the fundamentals they also provide you with tools, not SELL you the tools, but provide you with them. Also, all the coaches are great. Special shout out to Steve from Michigan and Helen as well. Rockstars. They don’t market it this way, but they do talk about it at the workshop… they are trying to create a revolution of people, being financially free, so that, one person at a time we can save ourselves, our families and hopefully our country.
