Eker may help you to get rich. But, he's not very honest.
I bought Eker's Book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind". The book costs me around [...] bucks. I ended up saving more than [...] bucks from the information I read in it. So, I felt the book was worth the cost. However, while the book did have some valuable information about changing a person's belief system, and a good money management system, it really was one giant advertisement to try to get people to go to his seminars. In the book, he kept writing about transformational exercises that you would do during the weekend trainings. In addition, he would write that he simply can't teach the whole money management system in the book because it was too complicated to do so, and that people would need to come to his weekend trainings to get the whole thing. I really don't learn well from going to seminars, and being exposed to a lot of material at once in a short period of time. At the end of the book, there was an ad saying that his complete seminars are available on CDs. I thought, "Great! This is what I need." I could learn at my own pace, and perform the lessons/exercises as many times as I wanted until they sunk in to my skull. I called up his company to ask for the price of this CD set. It was somewhere around $1,200 to $1,400. I don't remember the exact price. That is way too much. So, I looked for it on amazon, and found it for about 1/10th the price. This really speaks badly of Eker, and his company that he is charging 10 times as much as a reseller. I ordered the CDs from the reseller. As I listened to them, they were basically what was written in his book, word for word. Then, it got to the point where there was going to be a transformational exercise. The recording stopped. A lady's voice came on saying that, the exercise was only available by going to the weekend seminars, and, then, listed the number to book a training. Basically, the CDs are nothing more than the book. The CDs are not the complete weekend training. The CDs are definitely abridged. I really felt Eker pulled a fast one. I did listen to the complete set. The transformational exercises were not there. Also, he did give the full money management system on the CDs. After listening to it, I can honestly tell you that he could have taught the complete money management system in his book by simply adding about 2 more pages of information. While I am sure the Eker has helped people to live a better life, and make more money, he simply is not honest. His books, and CDs are just advertisements to get you to go to his high priced seminars.
