Hello my friends,
I love reading books, and try to read as much as possible every day. I really have a lot of books on my list that I want to read...but you know time is sometimes an issue.
On Instagram I walked into this advertising from Mentorbox, MentorBox LLC.
Story looks ok, did anybody subscribed to Mentorbox and is it a go or no go?
Greetings Andre
I don't think @AceVentures was saying you are looking for shortcuts. I think he was saying that in general people are looking for shortcuts to avoid doing the actual work.
That being said. I personally would not buy mentorbox. Just do the work.
Don't listen to the stat that goes like this:
'Successful CEOs read 52 books a year!'
All bullshit, successful CEOs do the work and when their time is more valuable than the work they're doing, they delegate the work and keep moving up the chain to more valuable work.
And another thing... I know @MJ DeMarco said this before, but I also thought this before I even heard him mention it (his mentioning just confirmed my belief)
Don't read books for the sake of reading books
Only read a book (if you need to) on the very next issue in front of you and frankly, some of the things people spend weeks reading books on can be solved in 1 blog post. "How do I do X".
Don't become a success zombie.

Hhaahha
Did you try searching "Mentorbox reviews"?
Looking at the website was enough for me
Reading books takes time, why dont you just skip all that reading meading bullshit and buy my service so I can summarize A BOOK into a 4 minute video. How amazing, you can get all the learnings, in just a few minutes!? And then go back to watching Netflix. Boom, who even needs to read books? Looooosers!!
Anytime you try to look for shortcuts to things in life where there are no shortcuts, you'll find some a**hole that'll sell you on the idea that it's possible.
No hard feelings. I liked your answer. But it seems that more so called guru's try to sell their stuff? At least in the Netherlands I notice this is a new trend.Thanks for clarifying what I meant to communicate in a more delicate and mindful manner.
My apologies OP, I'm rereading my post and find I was harsh. Anger comes from the gurus' deceptive methods, not from your genuine desire to improve your life and become more efficient.

HahahahaI'd stay away from anything related to TL
Would it have been worth the $7/mth to you?I originally paid for the $7 a month fee for 'Mentorbox' as well as the $89 for the one time fee for the 'Audiobook Nuggets' (incidentally there are only 37 total); the site proceeded to offer me the ONE TIME $20 charge for the 'Entrepreneur Academy' and subsequently $59 for the ONE TIME 'Investment Academy' of which I accepted both. I was surprised when I was charged all of the above again the next month. I contacted Mentorbox and the claimed that No, it's a monthly subscription. I was certain that they offered me one time charges for the EA and IA Products because there's no way I would spend over $1000 a year for brief synopsis of books when for the same amount get 70 or so full audiobooks from Audible.com; so to ease my now nagging uncertainty, I offered up the question on the 'Mentorbox Mastermind Facebook' page of whether this experience was true for anyone else. My post was immediately removed. You'd think if it weren't true that the Host would allow the question to be raised to prove me wrong. So I posted: "To whoever deleted my post, you have thankfully answered my question and verified my suspicions." and was met with this: Your post goes against our Community Standards so only you can see it.

Interesting, I would have thought that folks here are a cut above the crowd! so this question shouldn't have come up in the first place. This offering does not pass the test of smell, not that there is anything wrong with it for its target market - the wannabes and the action fakers. It does not add value to anyone in the process of unscripting their lives.
