I have many people who have been BURNED before, I am so sorry about that, I do not burn my students.

I give a conditional guarantee:

Whatever you pay me in coaching fees, I will REFUND YOUR MONEY IN FULL under the condition you actually follow the advice and WORK HARD for 12 months.  You can not give up.  You must talk to sellers and buyers and agents as I teach you.  You can have more coaching time if you get sick or injured.  I reserve the right to cap my coaching with you over 100 hours 1 on 1.  You can buy more hours.

RE: Deal Splits, many coaches split deals up to $500,000.00, 

I do not.

You pay me, you get the coaching, You keep 100% of your profits.

If you are broke, I can not help you.  

You need $10K to start, some for coaching, some for marketing.  It depends on the split.

@Brian Gibbons

I don't see you cover self-directed Solo 401k in your syllabus. It can be great addition to your educational program, would be glad to help you develop that.

If someone had 401(k) money, I would tell them to first contact you :)

Yes let's do a video on SOLO 401K money for a start up.

@Brian Gibbons Two questions:

Is this your "short list"?

Is the top picture you in your youth?

I did this video with @Josh Caldwell

- Why Do Coaches Coach?

It answers why we coach, and what makes a good student.
