Rich Dad Seminar in Edmonton

Todd went to the Free Rich Dad "How to Get Rich in Alberta" Event. The event which has suffered bad reviews, investigations and unfortunate sales tactics seemed like a good place to network.

Overall his impression was that the event skims over a lot of ways to get wealthy but doesn't support with any real meat. It's all sizzle. Which is good if you want to keep people coming back for more but doesn't work for those who are looking for real information. The host, Darren Weeks, an Edmonton multi-millionaire, was partially aggressive and a little condescending - but that's what wealthy are like right? At least it's the way we expect them to be.

We got a follow up direct marketing letter with some tips like; build your elevator speech, find a mentor and get a business card. Three excellent pieces of advice if you have a clear goal in mind to apply them too.

So the final rating? These seminars are not as evil as many would have you think, at least this one wasn't, however this event alone will in no way get you rich in Alberta or anywhere else.

Oh and networking time ZERO they were herded around and only got a three minute break - come to think of it the perfect amount of time to use your elevator speech....
