Coaching program

I'm thinking about doing this 12 month coaching program that I found on craigslist. The "mentor" is charging $2000 and guarantees that I can make 6 figures by the end of the 12 month program. I'm totally into learning as much as I can, and investing a little bit of money into it but I know there are scams out there. How do I identify a scam from the real deal?

Checking references is certainly one method of gathering information about programs. It is also a good idea to speak directly with the mentor or owner of the company about their program. You are the best person to determine the kind of mentor and training program that is suitable for you.  Because every person learns differently and has priorities of importance, it is reasonable to do your homework based on what resonates with your style. 

There are plenty of mentors and coaches from which to choose. If you personally know someone who can make a recommendation, ask them questions. Finding a mentor who is right for you is somewhat akin to finding a college or university. Mentors can specialize in particular subjects and train in many ways. What do you prefer?  That is the first and most important question to ask.  

Your preference takes the lead over program costs in the initial research.  It is difficult to search for anything by price at the outset.  Quality and the right fit for you is what you want.  When you find exactly what you want, look at your list of possible choices and then make a decision.  

I hope this helps.

    Ask for references. Talk to three of them. If he says he can't due to privacy then move on. He should also be able to show you closing statements from all his deals. The returns he is promising are a red flag.

    To guarantee that you will make 6 figures is a tall order. It largely depends on your efforts. I would guarantee if you apply the right effort on a constant basis, you can make as much money that you want. If you are willing to put in the work. PM me.
