I got flak too. Don’t sweat it; it’s minor noise. After all, if one can’t take the noise of a differing opinion, one will never be hardened enuf to endure the battle for profits. Good luck. And stay connected here. One of the best things about this forum is the differing opinions… and you got some good differences of opinions from good people. This is the best rei site on the web. Don’t leave it.
i would love to get a few ppl together to discuss cs course a reinforcemnt type group a positive give eachother a push and confidence etc… mayb to get together once a week or so, anyone interested please email me i will set it up in my chat room or we can do it via icq anyone w/out icq eme for the dl url its a great chat util. and no i do not make money saying that.hehe
I think you have a great idea. 6 months ago, a group of regulars here and I started a cyber mastermind group. We email regularly, chat on icq weekly, and share ideas and provide support. It has been very valuable.
Go for it.
If I may share a little unsolicited advice, be clear about the purpose, gather people with similar desire and at a similar level, clarify your expectations and rules of conduct, and enjoy. Get a group of doers, not a group of folks thinking about maybe dabbling in rei. The dabblers will hold back the others.
REI is like sex: you can talk about it, you can fantasize about it, you can look at pretty pictures, but until you just do it yourself, you don’t really know what it’s like. Don’t listen to the naysayers. This stuff can work. Gather a group that’s hel(&bent on making it work, or else. Otherwise, you may gather a group of folks who come up with every conceivable, rational reason why this stuff doesn’t work. And boy would they be wrong… and never know it.
that is great im glad to hear it. anyone else coming please email me asap as it is for sept 10 8pm eastern time on icq #11950690 thanks and whoever owns cre thank you for the wonderful site i have found some very good info here. wish my site was this good but im all alone in doing it and i dont make a dime so it is kinda hard. anyhow thanks
yes i guess u could call this a study group however i dont like the rudeness and sarcasm that i am finding in this forum, alot of people i noticed are very nasty and are just out for a laugh. from the responses i have gotten and have seen others get its clear that some of the people in here are very angry impatient & nasty. that is the reason i want to start my own study group w/people that want to learn instead of getting sarcastic comments to their questions. i also want to have a chat group that meets once a week so u see it isnt going to b the same as this at all.
Tried contacting you on aol but could not get through as said not a member under the number here. Please advise as I would like to meet on 9/10 if that is still on. Thanks.

Lea,
How do you plan to keep those kinds of people from infiltrating YOUR discussion groups? Believe me, the editors of this site don’t condone that behavior, but those people show up anyway. I doubt that you’ll be immune. Keeping them out of your discussions will be a full-time job during your chat sessions.
There is no difficulty whatsoever keeping people out of a private chat. I’ve never had someone barge in on an ICQ chat I was on. It seems to me people are missing the boat. All this chick wants to do is meet with others thru cyberspace to study CS, share insights, motivate each other, and (I would hope) make offers and do some deals. It ain’t a very radical or difficult task she’s tryin’ to get goin’.
hi i would like to thank you for your response in my defense. i also didnt think it was that radical an idea but not all people know that you can have a password guarded chat room and i guess some people think that i am trying to take people away from this forum which i am not. i just want to start a help, study group to motivate eachother i really didnt think it would get this much noise anyway i have written to all who said lets do this and the date is for sept 10 8pm at my icq if most ppl dont have icq then other arrangements will be made i have a private chat room at my site which can b password protected if need be.

Hi Lea,
I have sheets course and investor’s series and feel I know it pretty well and refer to it a lot, however I am not so sure why you want to start a group solely for the sheets system. I am not knocking you, I am curious and trying to share some of my experience. I had the sheet’s course before discovering Creative online and I have to tell you it really opened me up.
Carlton’s course is very powerful however it is just like he said in chapter 1, his course is a beginning not the end, “buy other courses, buy others books”. In addition I have read other books and visit Newsgroup I on this site often. You will find even more people that have taken sheets that are trying to expand and talk about other tactics and situations to help work the business better. Nothing wrong with having your own pep group JUST DON’T STOP COMING TO THIS SITE.
p.s. as for the smart A–, don’t pay any attention to them because for every one of them there are probably 10 people that will respond to your questions and concerns positively and knowledgably(is that a word Ha, Ha)
