He didn't get out of software at all, its just run by a CEO and some other employees.
I think Dane has legitimate reasons to focus on teaching. Of course he is making more money with this than with his software businesses if you do the 300x $800/month calculation, but you have to deduct the cost for his employees (and/or partners), all the preparation time and after all this kind of income is "only" over 6 months (decreasing if people drop out). Also the foundation is not passive for him.
I'm absolutely sure if he wouldn't do the teaching he could have created some more software products and made more passive income with it than he does with the foundation.
Just look at all the successful people here and how they enjoy the process of giving back. Its basically the same thing, they give up a potentially higher income for the time spent to help others.
That said, I was turned of by the launch (in the sense that I wouldn't buy into something like that),but will still follow his model of creating a B2B software business. Also there is A LOT to learn from this launch from a marketing perspective.
I would love to learn how he goes about doing launches, he is very, very good at it! I read there was something a while back like a peek inside the inner workings but I am pretty sure I missed the boat on that one, plus it was like $500 bucks :nonod:
