The next one says, “The Wall Street Workshop enhances the learning curve in stock market investing to increase your profits.” Well, that’s what it’s all about. Let me tell you the name of the game. The name of the game is, “teach me the rules and I’ll play your game.” What we’re trying to do is get people through this learning process as quickly as they possible can. We start slow and then we explain certain things, but as soon as we can, we’re into the deals. I want to make sure that all of my sales people know that the instructors are not only trading in their own accounts, but we have them, every instructor, signed onto our major instructors’ accounts with the company.
The next comment was, “We’ll show you hands on work, so you can do it yourself with the 11 strategies we teach.” I want to be careful with the word “hands on” here. A lot of people think that they’re going to come and somebody’s going to literally take them by the hand, walk out there, and call their stockbroker with them. We’re not in the babysitting business. We teach the correct principles, and people govern themselves. Our “hands on” means that they’re going to see the deals being done. Again, it’s the experiential learning format.
The next comment was, “The Wall Street Workshop is worth 50 times the amount you pay because of the value you receive from what you learn.” I agree. I don’t think there’s any way to say 50 times, or 100 times because it might cost you $3,000 or $4,000 for a course that it shows you how to make $200,000 a year. What does it cost? I’ve said it a lot in my seminars, “It will cost people. This is the first time anybody’s ever put together a seminar that will cost a lot more to stay home than it will to attend.” I don’t know how much your average students are making, but I’ve got so many letters in about people who are making $100,000, $200,000 a year, after starting with $5,000 or $10,000. Well, what did it cost them?
The next comment was, “Wade’s strategies increase your confidence in trading and decrease your risk of loss.” That’s exactly what they do. You learn the strategy that has the bear market behind everything we do, the desire to not lose money. Yes, they’re brand new, they’re not brand new in terms of being around the stock market, we have just taken existing strategies and we have put them to work on a continued basis.
If there’s any genius that I have, it is being persistent and consistent with something that works.
I am reminded of a story of Woody Hayes, you know the famous football coach. He had a great halfback, but he kept getting tackled. Time after time after time, he would just run right into the wall and get tackled. Finally the coach called the young boy over to the sidelines and said, “Boy, run where they ain’t.” That’s kind of what I’ve done. I want to run where they ain’t, I want to do things that other people don’t even know how to do, to show people how they, too, can make more money.
The next comment by a salesman says, “You can network with those around you to continue to learn from each other.” That’s an important point. Rubbing shoulders with people who are trying to do better and be better can teach you a lot. The next one is, “Your financial outlook will change forever.” Boy, how do we quantify that? Somebody’s financial outlook? Yes, I agree. Once you learn how to make money, you will never go back. Once your brain has expanded, it will never go back to its original dimensions.
This is great! How did you learn this stuff when you were a newbie?
