Trump Drops the F-bomb on Toronto: Making Money in Real Estate is FUN!

You sure they weren't just there to take a gander at his wacky combover? Gravol please!

LOLLLLLLL

IMPEACH BUSH!!********

;))

I was there on Saturday and thought the whole event was a big cheese-fest. From the cuties in the FUN shirts handing out chocolate loonies, to those jammed packed into the hall to hear about flipping real estate, it was a 1/2 hour infomercial come to life! Unfortunately, I couldn't change the channel.

As a realtor myself, I was extremely disappointed with Trump's apperance. I feel as though I came away with nothing that would better my business or personal wealth and after travelling a hour to get to the late night apperance, I feel as though it was a waste of time.His personal attacks on every person who has crossed him in some way was ridiculous, offensive to many I'm sure and no doubt supports your comment of him being an entertainer rather then a business leader....Glad I didnt pay for VIP seats...

The guy is a joke.
Didn't he go bankrupt once? Good grief, and the hair.

Once? Try repeatedly

Here's The Donald's patented money making scheme, a) borrow money b) use that money to build a can't possibly turn a profit hotel/casino/office/condo make sure it's incorporated as a separate business c) allow it to go under stiffing the lenders d) now use your own money to scoop it up from the trustee at pennies on the dollar e) profit... lather, rinse, repeat. No underpants for this gnome.

Why not ditch the fun girls and just wear a chicken costume? It would've been more entertaining I'm sure.

Although I missed this one, oh darn... I've attended several 'big' multiple wealth and self type seminare with the big name speakers. This one qualifies as big! One recently that I liked and recommend was T.Harv Ekar's Millionaire Mindset Intensive (3days only $99 and well worth it!) There is also a Mindset evening primer.

Although you can usually walk away from these kinds of events such as Trumps Toronto event with several gold nuggets to assist you in moving forward in your personal finances or business enterprise, I'm amazed at the huge HYPE and even some ego's that are involved. It takes your real discernment and observation and plain old intuition. Yes, and I am truely MORE AMAZED at the AMOUNT of money that changes hands (one way of course) into the hands of the speaker's coffers from the high volume of self help books, cd's and now even weekend conferences and boot camps that are marketed at these events.

It's all good as eager excited people learn and gather wisdom about free enterprise, and everyone buying is happy and smiling...but I've found there is no get rich quick program and all of these opportunities take hard work, some start up and working capital, but mostly perserverance and a MENTOR to show you how.

I'm fortunate to be in such a position and attend these conferences and seminars now not out of desperation but rather to network myself and my business opportunity so I can mentor like I was mentored. Guess that's why my website is called SuccessAndProsperity.com !!

I have some tickets (Free) to several of T Harv Ekar's Mindset events coming up in several major cities should anyone be interested. Info available by contacting me at billbyron@hotmail

I was there and while, yes, much ranged from cheeze-ball "fun" to complete scam, I still think it was worth the money.

I, surprisingly, liked Tony Robbins and David Bach was quite good, too. Donald was Donald.

Maybe it's because I went there looking for entertainment value and not a lot of serious knowledge, but I thought it was money well spent.

Bill, you bring up something which I did not write about in my post but only for the sake of brevity.

Every seminar, workshop, and session was a carefully crafted advertisement for the presenter's books, dvds, manuals, software, and/or weekend seminar/workshop/training session. So basically, you are paying $100 to hear someone tell you why you should pay them $3000. And believe me, some of these guys were taking people's money hand over fist.

This event was first of its kind in Canada.I enjoyed meeting over twenty highly publicized speakers with very little Canadian content.

It was more entertaining than educating.But it was awesome for networking.

My two cents!

Hi! I had no idea what I had signed up for. I only signed up for George, Tony and The Donald. I went for fun and that's what I had. I thought it was a cheap way to be able to experience Tony Robbins. I never dreamed all these speakers were really just doing "live info-mercials". I couldn't believe the people running and signing up for these packages that were so expensive. Kind of sad how these "gurus" prey on people's need. George was the only one who didn't appear to be selling anything and he was only on for a half hour. I thought he was very inspirational. I really did enjoy Tony Robbins. It was energizing, but that's what I was looking for. I never bought anything, but met alot of nice people and had some fun. Lynn-Toronto, Canada

I attended the weekend too. Mainly to see Tony Robbins, Branson, Foreman and Trump. I got a surprise entertaining session with James Smith on Fri, which was slightly more entertaining and engaging than Sat when he spoke. Although he was selling something he did not do the physcho babble that everyone else did to convince you to buy, he was more subtle and preached on about people and giving back. He seemed geniune and had a draw factor, refreshing tactic and also the only person there that I would spend money with if I was going to spend money on something. I also never bought anything but soo sooo many people did, it was sick and sad that people were just like little robots/sheep. I also really wanted to see the guy from The Secret, James Ray, but he was abismal and gave me the creeps, we actually walked out right after he had people obediently completing their name and address on the paperwork left on the chair. Some people are really quite something!! why woudl you do that??!! He also managed to diss Tony Robbins and the rest of the cast on the Secret all in the first 10 minutes. Quite formidable of him. I agree with those that felt it was worth it to go to the Annex and see the key stars, it was, but it certainly wasnt' worth it from a learning experience as far as real estate is concerned or for anything else. We left in between key speakers and went and enjoyed our days elsewhere. What I don't appreciate is watching and hearing people bully others through physcology tactics to spend anything from $1000 to $7000 and even upward, on courses and training. The high pressure selling. There is of course a part of me that wonders if for say the James Smith guy, if you were to do his course and he had his promise to see you through if that in fact is the ticket to get you out of where you're at and on track, that it would make a difference and that perhaps we are all holding ourselves back from success through our cynical view on such things. But... I would just love to hear from someone I know that really has done well through attending one of these things. Then perhaps the true worth of it would be revealed. Oh and i also wonder if you have the 10 days to pull out of such a purchase like you do with other purchases that you make. I suspect so. Would love to know the stats of how many people signed up, how many regretted it and/or got to pull out. As for a last word on Donald, I know I'm jumping around a bit here, but I did really enjoy hearing him speak, I didn't expect any real tips from him so that was good. I learnt that I don't like a lot of what he stands for through his talking but have to respect him for his success and drive. The get revenge approach or his clear annoyance over laws expecting him to play his part in caring for our planet, when China doesn' t have to made him seem irresponsible and childish. Like when you compare what your mother says you can and can't do vs your friends mum. Suck it up and do your part is what I want to say to him. But then again money seems to be all that makes him happy and keeps him going. I have never thought to look into what he does that's charitable to really give back to the community. The other point about his speaking is that I also think that he gets great delight out of pushing the limits with what he says, it's for attention more than anything else. He said free publicity is good publicity so why not use every opportunity to get a rise and get attention. I don't think Sunday night was any different. I do love his candidness! the Bush You're F'ing Fired was just a treat. And the statement that he's the worst president in the history of the US.

We went to the Expo in Toronto on the weekend of March 24-25th. The Learning Annex promised 72 wealth experts. There were maybe 11 - if you want to call them experts. They hardly gave you information, some not any. They mostly tried to sell you their programs, which usually cost $995. We realized quickly that it was just a scam, but had to listen to a few while waiting for the key note speakers. One of them, Raymond Aaron, was just terrible. He was selling a mentoring package and was talking about the �laws of attraction�. He told everyone there, that he never did this but that he was going to give everyone a boat cruise. Uncertain cheers erupted. He then said that we didnt believe it, and in that case, we were right, we werent getting a boat cruise. Luckily for us, there would be one more chance later. So he continued to tell everyone what a wonderful man he was, showing pictures of his daughter etc. and somewhat later on said �this is your chance, I am taking all of you on a boat cruise!� Words were flashing, reading CRUISE SHIP! CRUISE SHIP! and people were jumping up and down chanting and screaming. Then Raymond said �You have done it!! You have all won a boat cruise!!!� Needless to say he was scamming. He casually mentioned later that if you bought his $995 program and completed the 17 month mentoring program and fulfilled two goals, you would then receive a boat cruise. Sure Raymond, I hope you can sleep at night.
All in all, the keynotes were alright, but the rest was terrible and misleading and they should be sued. We are demanding a charge back on our credit card and would advise everyone else who felt this way, to do the same.

Imagine how much more useful it would be if everyone who attended donated $100 to a charitable cause rather than give their money to a bunch of pompous self-righteous "wealth experts"
