If so, you should say that on your site. I feel like you avoid answering that question, but maybe its not on purpose.
If you are not wealthy, maybe you should work on becoming wealthy through the methods you are planning to teach, and then others will eat up what you have to say.
There are just so many people out there trying to get people to follow them to somewhere they have never been. You have to show that you know how to do it before you will hold any type of authority on the matter.

I totally agree. There are countless people out there who talk about making money but they haven't even hit a 6 figure income EVER in their lives. For example most stock brokers are like that. They try to give people advice on how to invest $400k but they themselve make $50k/year

To answer your question, I've been making a 6 figure income for over 4 years now. My highest income in a 12 month period was about $450k, and I'm currently working on getting that past the $1M/year mark. THat's personal take home money I'm talking about, not business income where you have to subtract business expenses etc. If you're talking about business income I've owned businesses that made +1M/year in sales since 2002. None of the money was given to me to start with. I started in 1999 with several credit cards full of about $12,000 of debt, $0/year income and a decision whether I want to declare bankruptcy. I decided against it, and worked my way up from scratch, paying off every single penny I owed and moving up from there.

As far as creating value out of "thin air", the highest amount I've been able to generate was about $240k in 45 days using LoA.

I don't say all this to impress you or anyone else, but you asked about specific numbers. If you're already making +$1M/year or more you might only get a bit of value from my stuff, but if you're not there yet there is lots of stuff that I can help with. Feel free to contact me personally if you'd like more details or any further info.
