How did end up? Did Tony show? GaryV? Was it a sales presentation disguised as a seminar?
Give up the DEETS!
Alright. Tony, Gary, and Daymond all showed up in the flesh, and killed it.
I've been listening to and reading Tony's stuff for about 8 years, so most of it was a refresher for me. He did pitch Unleash the Power within for about a minute then got back into his presentation which was 4 hours long. He did do this new exercise at the end where you closer your eyes and visualize bringing your goals and your purpose into your heart and I actually shed tears and was shivering a bit. Not a dry eye in the house.
Watching him live was a lot more powerful then watching youtube videos but I learned a few tricks. One, when they ask the audience questions, most of the time they're not listening for actual audience answers. They just pretend to hear one and call it out so it is scripted, but I get it. I'm sure they've tweaked those answers over time like a comedian tweaks their jokes.
Gary and Daymond both killed their presentations with zero pitches. Gary's was the most real. He said don't buy any of my shit, just watch what I'm doing on youtube, instagram, etc. He also had a bit where he said " I have a secret website you can go to to find out all of my secrets. Are you ready? Write this down. G-O-O-G_L-E." Which was hilarious.
All of the other speakers were just okay. I missed the first 2 the second day but heard they were just as salesy as the first days first 2 speakers.
It was usually about 20 minutes of value, then 40 minutes of pitching their program.
The one that I believe was 100% a pitch was Dean Graziosi's. It sounded good at first. He was talking about how the self help industry will be increasing from a 300 million a day industry to a 1 billion a day industry. I was like wow cool awesome! Then when he started pitching his software that does everything for you to set up coaching webinar's etc. (granted you're an expert in your field already) I knew it was just a pitch.
They had a giveaway between each speaker, and I swear they had actors planted in the audience. The same guy won 2 days in a row for being the person with the most energy. He got up on stage and danced around and then left without being told or prompted to like clock work. Could just be me over-analyzing things but something felt off.
