Self Made Wealth by Eben Pagan

The content of the course was outstanding. Eben really went into a deep understanding of money.

Lots of information I didn't know.

Lots of information I knew but Eben presented really clearly.

Like others, I am an affiliate for Eben and I've had the chance to review the Self Made Wealth program.

On the one hand, it is very good.

I really like Eben's presentation and teaching style and anybody who has "bad programming" over money and wealth will get a lot out of the self help exercises.

The first eight weeks focus on the way you think and feel and it's only in the last four weeks that you get to take action.

Like others I feel that he is pricing it out of reach for those who will benefit the most. That's a terrible shame.

It is a mass market product being sold at a premium Internet marketing price. I'd much prefer he cut the bonuses back and sold at an affordable price.

In fact if you take the advice in the program, many buyers shouldn't buy it in the pressure cooker environment of a launch and it shouldn't be financed by credit card.

For more details please see my Self Made Relief review.

For the right people, this is "change your life" stuff and therefore the potential value is sky high. But the people who need it most can't afford it. They don't have the cash available, shouldn't load up their credit cards to the maximum and if the normal Internet marketing pricing model applies, the part payment scheme will be very expensive credit.

I don't think I've ever been so emotionally conflicted about an affiliate product and I haven't sent it out to my list (yet).

As normal the pre-launch content from Eben is masterly and lives up to his established reputation but I keep coming back to the price.

It seems cruel to show people what they need and then let them discover that they can't get it. A bit like snatching food away from a starving man.

Harlan mentions bonus overload.

I agree completely and it's a change in Internet marketing over the last few years that I don't like.

Eben talks about thinking and feel the right ways and then taking the right actions.

Excessive bonuses confuse you, put doubt and guilt in your mind (who doesn't feel guilty about stuff they've bought but not yet got around to looking at) and delay you taking the necessary productive actions.

It gets even worse when affiliate bonuses are added into the mix.

If you won the lottery and your cash pile is rapidly diminishing, I'd say buy Self Made Wealth. It will help you to preserve and increase the cash you've got rather than frittering it away.

If it's a choice of feeding the kids and stopping your home from being repossessed or buying Self Made Wealth, then don't go near it. Your needs are much too pressing and you won't get an immediate payback.

Get what you can from the pre-launch content and do whatever you can to stop your bad spending habits.

In between those two extremes it gets interesting.

This mustn't be intellectual entertainment - you need to commit to doing the self help exercises as if it was a classroom and Eben was in front of you. It's the only way to get value.

Self Made Wealth works by making changes inside you so the "bad programming" is fixed. If you don't change the programming, the problem remains the same.

Harlan:

Are you familiar with Tim and Kris Hallbom? They are well known NLP trainers.

Have you tried their Wealthy Mind audio? What's your opinion on them?

I'll tell you one thing for a fact, the pitch video is the most extreme example of a guru talking and talking and talking and... that you will ever attempt to sit through. It's almost unbelievable, it's endless. The same stuff over and over again, people don't have the money mentality, people don't have good money habits, over and over again.

It's still running as I type. It's sort of become a background feature of my life now. I doubt it will ever end. He's into the bonuses now, doing a full pitch for each one.

$1,997 so you can find out how to be smart with money? You figure it out.

Yay, bonuses have just ended and now Eben is going through the whole product summary again. I can't switch it off, I now NEED to know just how long it is going to run for.

If if doesn't end tonight I'll start giving you daily briefings starting tomorrow. Free of charge (unless you are poor in which case they'll be 10 bucks).

I notice he states the obvious, but in interesting ways. So, your mind doesn't reject what he's saying. But, it feels like new information. For example, he just said, "Business uses money as one of it's tools."

And he repeats what he's saying, but in different ways. So, it sounds familiar and comfortable by the third time he repeats it.
