I went to a free "Rich Dad Poor Dad" training seminar about investing last night, and I couldn't figure out why there was so much pressure to pay $200 on the spot to sign up for additional trainings right then and there if the material was supposedly "soooooo good"?
The entire 2.5 hours was seeped in slimy manipulative controlling sales tactics and anecdotes. After researching reviews about this company, I was not surprised to find countless horror stories of people claiming they had been scammed out of $1,000's of dollars by this company. Even though I thought the original "Rich Dad Poor Dad" book was really enlightening, I've officially lost all respect for Robert Kiyosaki and the Rich Dad brand... not that he would care. I do believe there probably is a decent amount of substance in these "trainings", but the cheese ball tactics they use to try and pressure the average everyday joe into signing up for them is beyond laughable.
I guess this reinforces my rule to scrutinize anything with the word "rich" in the title, VERY carefully.
