This was EXACTLY my experience recently. Honestly, if all the sales fluff was taken out, and we were just given super useful content, it would've taken 1 day. And as a busy mom with a big business to run, that would've been better for me. The hosts of the seminars are amazing individuals, and I adore them! But I felt as though they didn't want to even hang out with me (and I'm fun!) unless I was going to purchase one of their masterminds. The other attendees were amazing women too, and they too voiced the same frustrations. Geez I felt "dirty" and slimey just having to listen to it. My husband came with to the last event and he said he's NEVER been to a seminar where he paid so much $, to be given so little information, and still be pitched so hard. (He is required to attend 2 conferences a year to stay current with his medical licensure, and he speaks at several other events). I just had to get that off my chest. Thanks doll for sharing your thoughts! Thought I was the only one who felt that way! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Marie!
