I attended the "Get Motivated" seminar in Dallas - not that I needed it but the whole office went and it was a day out of the grind. Heard Rick Beluzzo of Quantum (ex-Microsoft), Zig Ziegler, Tom Hopkins, Rudy Guiliannie (sp), Joe Montana, Jerry Lewis and Gen Tommy Franks. These were the headliners and frankly were pretty dry and boring.

Then they had a few scam artists pitching investment software(Phil Town) and real estate software and "training" (James Smith). These guys made my skin crawl. I would physically hurt them in ways that would land me in jail. Typical get rich quick junk that only makes the presenter rich. I couldn't believe the amount of people lined up with credit cards - $695 a whack! Idiots! The stuf they were selling is all free to the public! And these were "smart" people (or so I thought) shelling out the cash. Idiots!

The whole thing was put on by a shark named Peter Lowe - good discription cuz this guy was as low as you could go. He even got into this Christian rant - I felt like I was in a Southern Baptist service or a Born Again deal - not the place for this stuff if you ask me!

None of the stuff covered by any of them was anything new - mostly rehased Dale Carnigie stuff. The jokes were flat - basically the whole thing was a big waste. Do not waste your time.

At least I got a free lunch from the company out of it - then again, there are no free lunches are there...
