The Wealth Club Event

Hello  –

I signed up for Mark Ford’s Wealth Club Event on June 30th, 2016. First, I signed up using the web page I gave in a previous post here: Rethinking Ideal Retirement. On June 27th, Mark posted a video and gave away two PDFs. He said to be sure to attend the one time only, webinar to be held on June 30th at 8:00 EDT. Then I got an e-mail saying that Mark had posted again on June 28th. Another video and two more PDFs. The on June 29th, another video and two more PDFs.

It was a real build up and each time, the message was to be sure to sign up and attend the webinar on June 30th at 8:00 EDT. You could also sign up for a SMS (text) message to be sure you didn’t miss it. Starting at 8:00 PM  Eastern I went to the web site.

I could not get on the web page. The server was busy. Yeah. I’ll bet. Long story short, I kept trying from 8:00 Eastern until 8:35 Eastern and no luck.

Mark Ford is a millionaire. I expected better technology from this guy. When the web page says that the site can’t be reached and that the servers are busy, it means that more people are trying to reach the server than the number of Internet connections that the server has. Not a million dollar presentation.

Mike Cernovich calls this “bush league” thinking. Mike has an interesting podcast and presents a lot of food for thought. None of it relates to Taking Early Retirement, but he is very entertaining. And his podcasts are thought provoking and worth listening to .

Don’t get me wrong. I think I have every book that Mark ever wrote. He uses a pen name – Michael Masterson. Why? I have no idea. When I write my book I’m not going to make up a name to use. I like my own name thank you.

I never got on to the webinar. I gave up after trying for 40 minutes. It was a real disappointment. Was I going to sign up for the program? I don’t know. I never got a chance to see what the program was. And for the past four days, each posting on the web page said there would be no replay. I never got to see the program, and Mark had sh** for technology. And Mark Ford was not able to take advantage of all of the people who wanted to see what he had to say. Lots of potential sales missed, I’m thinking.

His BAD.

On a side note about the blog, I have added a page at the top of the blog called Videos. This is where I’ll be posting videos and webinar replays that I do in the future. I am also starting up the newsletter again. This way you’ll get notified when I do a webinar and be able to attend. If you can’t make it, (unlike Mark Ford), I’ll have a replay.

For Taking Early Retirement (TER), I hope you are enjoying a great retirement or are close to that day!
