Hello Henry,
Perhaps understanding the terrain would be more helpful here. One key ingredient in sustaining guru marketing, and making it difficult to determine who is really worthwhile or not, is the fact
that for most programs, legitimate or not - the key selling premise to students is convincing them that the more they spend, and the more programs or program levels they sign up for with a
given individual guru, the less time, effort, and learning the student will have to do to make a bundle. Obviously, that is dangerous sophistry at best… but it is still the primary carrot on the stick.
The game is tough enough. Paying out a lot of money before you learn the basics on your own is a recipe for disaster in almost all “guru” selection situations. Fortunately, these forums offer
a ton of free learning material to get you started on the critical skill sets needed, already archived… along with giving you enough familiarity over a brief time to be somewhat of an “informed
consumer” when the time comes to decide on what books, courses, and/or gurus you want to spend money with. Or not.
Here are some starting points you should consider beginning with:
