Finally an investment course geared towards making a difference instead of being a front to sell another product. I actually learned a system and received practical resources by which to benefit from. God willing the system works, but at the very least I do not feel like the weekend was wasted and I did receive what I hoped and beyond.

The workshop is awesome. I would suggest that everyone should attend it. Every-single-one. During these 3 day, we've been bombarded with so much information and so much love from the team. I want to individually thank each one of them.

This work shop was transformative. I left inspired and ready to lean in hard and do the work to take myself and my family to the next level. I am fairly new to the idea of investing. I first heard the podcast in early July of this year. I read Danielle's book, Invested, in late July and connected deeply with her journey. After reading that book, I felt that if she could take the journey, I could too. Thank you to Phil and the entire team for inspiring a movement. I am truly grateful.

The knowledge and experience shared by the entire coaching team. The instructors were excellent. I was exceptionally impressed with the amount of time Phil and Melissa spent with us especially during the course but also hosting us at their home. The testimonials of the coaches make me a believer that if I follow the formula, I will be exceptionally successful.
By Scott
The seminar was packed with information and was full of coaches. I never had a moment that I couldn’t get a question answered. The information, food, and facilities were world class as if we had paid thousands of dollars to attend. I left with the knowledge and ability to trade profitably.
By Joel
The training is approachable for anyone with little to no experience in investing. It is clear that the instructors genuinely care about your success.
