Rich Dad Coaching Fair Experience

[Matthew Lane]

I read Rich Dad Poor Dad and started looking for additional non scholastic education such as seminars, books ect ect on money, real estate and stocks. The first thing that popped up on an Google search was Rich Dad Coaching. I filled out the questionnaire and received a call about 3 hours later.  I was asked within 2 minutes of how much money I could get my hands on, where I live, do I have kids, am I married. Thinking it was a little forward and strange feeling I still had a phone meeting set up by one of Roberts "right hand men" named Bart Purser. When I hung up I immediately googled Bart Purser and a complaint popped up about difficulty refunding a former client. The next day I spoke to Bart for 30 minutes. Bart was polite and not pushy. I did notice some sales tactics like continuously asking "does that make sense?" but hey I understand that RDC has to make money just like any other business.  Bart asked me if I was ready to follow through with my "4 commitments"(stated during the conversation) and I told him that "I see the benefit in the program however 5,000 dollars is tough to swallow." I told Bart that I need some time to chew on it. Surprisingly Bart said "talk to your wife and give us a call when you're ready". All in all I feel that this RDC could be a good thing and could help you become successful however the bottom line is that they wanted 5,000 dollars for a year of education. My immediate thought was "Robert learned from his dads and books to get where he is now", so why can't I do the same? Yes I believe in paying for education such as seminars, books and almost anything that has to do with SELF education but 5,000 dollars when you're just starting out is such a difficult number to hope you're getting your money's worth. We all learn through trial and error so if you have money to throw around then I say try RDC but if you're like me and you need every dollar you can get for that asset column then I would circle back to this if you feel you can't self educate yourself.
