Don’t know how it could have been better given the timeframe. It is a good start. The presence of the coaches made a monstrous difference that enhanced the experience ten fold. It was really fun to see everyone in person as well.

There was a lot of information provided. There was plenty of help available. I am old so I would have skipped the farm ( as nice as it was ) and used those hours to end a couple hours earlier on Friday and Saturday. A big plus for me was introducing my son to the seminar and spending the experience with him.

Wonderful, very knowledgeable presenters and coaches. Excellent delivery of general principles upon which to build. Excellent handouts and manual that followed the presentation. Particularly great follow up strategy to keep us motivated, on course and have further opportunities to contribute. FANTASTIC!

I really loved the experience. Got a great opportunity to be around like minded people who are on the road towards financial freedom. Really appreciated having Brandon from New Money there as well. Lastly, it’s great having Phil talk with us live, and taking pictures with us while also signing our books.
