Is this like a feel good Amway?

Sounds kind of Werner Earhard ish.

Your suspicions are correct (in my opinion).

A whole bunch of my brother's friends got him going on it. A couple thousand dollars later, and all he got out of it was a bunch of annoyed family members that had to listen to his recruiting efforts for a couple years! Fortunately, he has come to his senses.

The thing I found funny, is that I've never met a forum attendee (or faculty member for that matter) that could articulate what any of it is about! All of my inquiries lead to the suggestion that I go to one of their "Introductions". This is basically a recruitment drive.

To be fair, it might benfit people with a deficient sense of self worth in the short term, by giving them something "bigger" to be a part of (much like any other cult). But this comes with a hefty price tag (I think workshops range from $300 to $1200... a lot of Porsche parts!). For stronger personalities, it comes accross as just plain stupid.

Had a family member who was talking this up for a while. She ended up losing a bit of money and finally came to her senses.

It smells fishy to me...

it's designed to fill an emotional void.

Which of course why we come here....

Yea, but what if you can actually find "IT" there?! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/eek3.gif
:cool:

But did bro."L. Ron" approve of this one?

A co-worker of mine had a close friend that basically "disappeared" in this organization. Meaning, emotionally and financially.

It's a lot like Scientology, but without the cult worship and the moron actors endorsing it.

I took their courses and doubled my personal productivity. I'm now up to ~12% of my potential. :)

Landmark = EST

How much did it cost, I could use some help. .

I went to a "recruitment" seminar, for lack of a better term. It was given by a tall, smoking hot, extremely well spoken red head whose voids I was very interested in.

Looks like an attempt to separte me from my money.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. . .
