I want money, lots and lots of money!
The Real Estate & Wealth Expo was in Toronto a few days ago. About 15,000 business hopefuls were duped into paying a couple hundred bucks to learn the secrets of wealth from Trump, Robbins, and a few other big self-help names.
Trump was obviously the biggest name on the set list, having fetched himself $1.5 million to speak for an hour. If you’ve read any of Trump’s books you’ve seen his presentation, minus the professional fucking vernacular of course—he tends to swear a lot.
But the highlight of the event had to have been this motivational dance-a-thon:
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend the event myself, and as a result am a couple hundred dollars richer and have the pleasure of not being one of the scapegoats in the above video.

Isn’t it sad that they paid money to do that? They should have gotten some really practical advice about how to start getting into investing. Instead they danced to a horrible song.
They could have gone to the club and danced for a lot less.

That’s not true….They would never play that song at a club

lol. Maybe on retro early 90’s night but even that’s a stretch.

The conclusion …to be rich you have to be a good dancer, like Kevin Federline, and get some money. :)

Kevin Federline should put on some Wealth building / Motivational seminars.
He’s managed to make money the old fashioned way. Scamming rich desperate women.

Yep, that thing was a joke. People pay to go there to learn about the real estate marked only to hear repeated sales pitches for get rich systems of books or DVD’s – some costing as much as $3000. I was doing security detail and being paid to be there and I still felt like I wasted two days of my life and got duped.
Although it was pretty amusing seeing the “Money girls” whip the crowd up into a frenzy of greed. Seeing people go nuts over Tony Robbins gave me a chuckle too.
