I think it is great when you find someone who you can relate to and offers some good advice that you can implement and sometimes even expand on. Will search him on youtube see if there is anymore of him.

Every product was $3995 or $4995. I was amazed at the people running out to put another product on their credit cards. People who had never had a website in their lives were spending $10k that weekend on super-specialized products and longterm coaching. The best thing to do is learn how these people are marketing their products, then find a good coach like Terry to help you ethically apply the good marketing and copywriting tactics, while leaving the bad strategies for rip off artists and FTC fight over.

Most of the ones I have been to have been a mix of content and sales pitch so to speak. Each presenter was different, some were excellent and some not so good. I do like the workshop idea. I have only been to one other seminar like that one, however the seminar was run by the one person not a panel of speakers. See you back here soon! Jacinta :D Hi Terry,

It does seam to me that seminars (not all) are mainly there to promote goods and services as well as make money on the event itself ! But on what you describe above it seems to be a departure from the norm and to involve the audience / attendees to actually get involved and put what they had just learned into practice gives real value to the seminar, for me at least ! "Have the best day you can have..........its your choice" Regards Andrew Hi Terry,

In some cases not even a workshop works. If the content isn't very good, a good workshop wont fix it. Maybe Woul Mark Hendricks presentation would be nice even without the workshop! Just my 2 cents Terry, I have the same felling about presentations like sales pitches for products.

Actually getting things done in a workshop environment adds a lot of value. It's too easy to fill up a notebook with pages of notes -- and then never look at them again. I know that from experience! :-) Ryan Sounds like that would be a great format for a seminar. Actually getting things done in a workshop environment adds a lot of value.

You are correct. Each speaker gave 100% and I, as an attendee, felt valued because they gave me content that I could take home and implement. Much of what was said will need to be listened to again and again to distill even more value. The exercises gave even more value as we saw what we could do. That reinforces what I learned and shows me I can do the same when I return home. Thanks again for your time with us. Having spent two days at another conference in November, which was truly a pitch-fest, I appreciate what Mark offers. I plan on going back. Terry, I appreciated your presentation at the conference.

Then when it starts - you are often shouted at from the stage, notetaking..... don't make me laugh! I agree with Stefans comment here. Mass hysteria prevails! At the end of the event, I always ask myself was it worth the time and money spent and did I learn anything? In most cases I'm sure you can guess the answer can't you. I think I learn more from listening to you than I've ever learnt at a seminar. regards Graham in UK Hi Terry

So it was a gift I gave to him as a customer to help him reach his goals quicker. I have spent lunch with someone before and I did try to help people as much as possible that I spoke with, but I thought that needed to be said to make it clear for this case. I give my time when I'm at the events, but a coaching client would get first pick and dibs on anything they needed.
