In a world of get-rich-quick schemes and self help books that promise to make you rich and feel worthy at the same time, it’s difficult sometimes to separate quality information from hype. So, when a friend told me about an upcoming seminar that promised this kind of life-changing information I approached it initially with a lot of skepticism. I certainly had no idea what to expect since the hype surrounding the event was simply massive. However, since the course was free, my wife and I figured well, we’ve nothing to lose and everything to gain; including a nice weekend trip to Montreal.
From the first minute we entered the room we were totally engulfed in energy. It was a huge hotel ballroom with over two thousand people in attendance. There was a simple but attractive stage with two large projection screens which straddled each side.
As the speaker began you could just feel the energy and abundance of knowledge. This was indeed a master speaker at work. He paced everything just right. There were group exercises, self-evaluations, dancing, breaks, music, tons of valuable information and of course selling. The entire three days were performed with mastery beyond anything I had ever seen.
Now, as a concert pianist, I’ve had a lot of experience with logistics including; staging, lighting, music, sound and staffing support. All of which has to be well coordinated to have the desired affect with audiences. But, this show was beyond excellent. It was superb. The end result? I heard that these guys made two million dollars in that one weekend.
