Anybody here went to a Rich Dad Poor Dad Seminar?
 

The past couple of days I've been hearing ads on the Beat 94.5 of free seminars happening in the Vancouver area these couple of days I believe.

Registration may be too late now or the events may already be over, but I was just wondering if anybody has personally experienced this/attended this/ or done this?

I googled Rich Dad Poor Dad and basically found that in the end they offer a sales pitch, of a $1000 course they're offering for $395 or something if you sign up tonight.

But in the end Robert Kiyosaki (The author/mastermind behind Rich Dad Poor Dad) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kiyosaki
does not show you tips on how to succeed, but its more of a motivational type of thing, teaching you to make your money work for you, and not you working for your money.

There's apparently board games and stuff that he makes and sells, and courses can go up to $40,000.

Common sense makes me think that this is absolutely a big scam, cause the person who's making the most off this is, obviously, Robert Kiyosaki.

Any comments/thoughts/personal experiences?
Or have any of you guys even heard of this?

Follow your common sense.

well it's free..
if u got nothing better to do why not go for the show

and then check how much money u spent when u get home lol
see if robert is really good at making money

didn't you fall for that amway shit and think it was legit after going to the thing in seattle too?

Learn your lesson. Listen to Revscene.

Perfect Water

Yes but if you read my post on this thread I think this one's a complete scam.

And for whoever is interested, I ended up doing amway, and it's been going a lot better than I expected.

I really wonder when Revscene can actually go a full thread with only mature comments.

heres a mature comment.

Google search rich dad poor dad. I read one of the books, there are obviously a ton of flaws to his logic, and you can find a ton of info online as to who he really is and what is fact/fiction abotu semminars/books.

oh that's right

you are perfect water entrepreneur

sorry :troll:

there are no free lunches on this world.

my dad mentioned rich dad poor dad to me before, and recommended me to read the book

the things they teach you in the book or in the course are probably going to be useful, but in the end, whether you succeed or not depends on you, not the book.

I went to the Donald Trump associated one at Canada Place about 2-3 years ago. Basically, it was a bunch of wannabe rich yups on stage pimpin' their books and tapes.

They got better as the day went on. This one dude in a cheap suit, who I figured made about 75k that weekend was selling this mentor program. Total bullshit. He built everyone up like he was selling Jesus and soon as he said the tills were open, there was a line of people spending a tick under 1k to buy in. I watched his pitch, and I can tell you that no one knew what the hell they were buying.

The day wasn't a total loss. There was a guy in the afternoon that was involved in Real Estate and he was good. Didn't come across like a douche. I found what he was talking about quite fascinating, and he had a room set up upstairs where he'd talk as long as there were people to talk to.

Basically, you need to keep your wits about you...leave the mastercard at home and be prepared to wade through the bullshit.

You joined in Feb 2010?

...

Dood ...

When you have been around for as long as I have, you'll never see a clean thread.

Well ... I lied. Maybe in the photography forums.

I guess there could be some useful tidbits of information, but really, if you are easily coerced into bullshit scams, then it's best to stay away. It'll only make your wallet lighter.


EDIT: forgot to :facepalm:

I went to the seminar before with a friend. I thought it was pretty bogus. You see people in the middle of the seminar start walking to the back "signing up" but you can tell its fake.

Like I told my friend, if you know how to get rich, why would you tell others? It doesn't make any sense.

You do get a 1GB usb for free though!

It's a scam.

its not a scam. its one of those ra-ra seminars... gets you really pumped up, but only a few people really know the truth of what's going on

its like those real estate seminars that happen once in a while

Yeah there is, I just got free lunch today! :D

Sounds like a good idea, you should do it.
And sell Perfect Water to your Rich Dad Poor Dad peers. And sell Mona Vie to your Pefect Water clients. And sell Perfect Acai to your Mona Vie clients. It's a never ending circle and the money always comes back to you, the logic is flawless.

Thanks, watched the whole video.. Glad to learn the same lesson for free

These "free" seminars are nothing but huge pitch-fests. It's "free" to get in, but once they get you there, they are going to pitch hard to make you pay for the 'full' seminars.

come to my seminar!

No offense, but you strike me as someone who's desperate to make some money and always looking for a get rich scheme which in most cases = gullible/lazy. First with the Perfect Water scam, now this, perhaps it would be more beneficial for you to put your money, time and effort into improving your education and/or training so you can secure a better career so you can make more money, how old are you?

make google money!!
