Lets think about this a little more.

We will make the assumption that "The Professional" is all of that and

has put together a fantastic programme which will indeed teach you "how"

to trade ---PROFITABLY. The course gives you notes and power point

presentations with a DVD you can re visit at you leisure. The Professional

speaks for say $300 when in town so they are in demand and travel a lot

write books etc.

So they can make $30-60K at a speaking engagement--why--demand.

I saw Guppy fill 3 rooms in a row (Separate nights) at $150 a night and 150/ room.

In Adelaide---where most are asleep by 7.30.

So lets say they see a demand for specific education. Mentor-ship.

Your not going to be able to do that with a full room of people so you need to drive

attendance by price. 5 x 14000 or say 10 x $7000

Really if your a pro are you going to deliver a quality "mentor-ship" for less?

There is a heap of work in these if done correctly---in the background before

presenting to during and after.

Ive attended a few ticklers in my time and been thrown out of one when my

questions hit raw nerves---mind you 15 mins later there were at least 20 people

lining up at 2 tables to sign up for the $15K course---they just didnt know what to ask

let alone what they NEEDED to know.

But back to my point.

Your not going to get quality education for peanuts. The educator needs to either do it with

volume and low price or high price less volume---If you know how to trade/run a business or

a household you'll be following me.

The problem lies in those who are attending.

Their expectations in particular. They expect instant profit---no loss or financial pain.

It must happen now.

Personally I think there should be seminars on what you really need to be educated in to

make a go of being profitable.

You have to understand that even a mentor-ship is just a step in the marathon not beginning and end.

If I include software costs,education which I've paid for,books,computers,data without my time

Thats around $35000.

Over 20 yrs and still going.---Oh and a $20K loss in year 1.5 which taught me I wasn't the genius I thought I was.

My return from the time and money invested has been worth it. X around 9X investment.

So expect a cost a substantial one--but best become an expert FIRST in what you really NEED to know.
