Red face Abundance for Life from learning strategies?

Hello, I am thinking about buying the abundance for Life course from Learning Strategies, I have tried a couple of their paraliminals (after reading about Steve's experiences) $600 is alot of money to me right now. I would like to know if anyone else has purchased this course and if they think it is worth the money?

I've started a topic about The highest level of enlightenment, another course by Learning Strategies, a while ago.

I myself concluded that most any of Learning Strategies's courses will be of value to your life, likely. However, I do think in many cases it won't be the way they sell it to you. Learning Strategies uses a, to me, very long, over-hyped, too sensational marketing technique.
So the product will probably be good, but most of the times they sell it in a way that it seems even better than that.

Also, another thing I dislike about their products is the price. $600 is just a ginormous amount of money. Sure the products will probably have great value, but $600? For something you hardly know about what it actually is?

So I think that they over-market and over-price their products a lot.

Ontopic: I have the photoreading course, and payed much money for that, but I know I won't send it back whether I finish it or not (should have done a anti-procrastination course first ), so to me I think it's worth the money.
If you find the paraliminal cd's where well worth their money, I guess that increases the odds of this new course providing great value too.
However, $600 still is to me a massive amount of money, and that, topped off with the vague-ness of the product and the over-hyped marketing, is the reason I wouldn't go for it.

(wow, my english keeps getting better and better )

Default Photoreading discount

Magnet,

I'm in the same boat with you and Nico's post is dead on with a lot of other evals of the product I've read. It may help some, but probably not as impressive as they've built it up. I do have a discount for you, however. It brings the price for the Deluxe course down to $218.95 plus shipping. So if you want to try it with the extendable guarantee, the code is E107T-3. I received it in a Brian Tracy e-mail.

Good luck and if you do purchase it, I'd like to know how it works for you.

Having used several products from Learning Strategies, I found some products very valuable and others much less.

The products from which I profited immensely are the Paraliminals, Genius Code and Euphoria.

Product from which I profited moderately is the Memory Optimizer.

Product which spoke to me minimally was The Highest Level of Enlightenment. I managed to borrow this from a friend recently, and found it the least helpful of anything I have listened to yet from Learning Strategies. Hawkins' technique may or may not work (I would tend toward a yes), but so what? There was nothing I could take from his teachings and use for myself practically to actually increase my own consciousness. Furthermore he had some freaky friend of his doing testimonials throughout the program and a chant at the end. While interesting, it really was not helpful.

There are other products I have not yet tried, such as the Abundance course, the Diamond Feng Shui, etc ... I ordered The Secret yesterday.

I've been evaluating a number of Learning Strategies products to see which ones might be worth recommending here and if so, arranging a discount or special deal for StevePavlina.com visitors. I'm also evaluating products from a number of other publishers. Overall I've been impressed with Learning Strategies' product quality as well as the people I've personally worked with there.

Two days ago Erin and I met with Pete Bissonette, President of Learning Strategies, and we spent the day on the Las Vegas Strip sharing ideas and discussing possibilities (no gambling!). We could have visited him in Minneapolis, but it's -20 to 10 degrees there and 50 to 70 degrees here.

I recently finished Spring Forest Qigong as well as Euphoria. I liked both of them, but those products tend to appeal to an older demographic, whereas most of my audience is in their 20s, so I'm unlikely to promote them here, at least not right now. I'll probably listen to Genius Code or Million Dollar Vocabulary next. I think the skill-building programs will have the greatest appeal on this site.

My 8GB iPod Nano is stuffed to capacity with audio programs.

I am 28. Euphoria's title seems all wrong to me. Something along the lines of Achieve Inner Peace would makes more sense, and would probably appeal to more people. The Genius Code is a great program though, too. I especially liked "over the wall".

Thumbs up Planning to Purchase Abundance for Life Course

Hi

At first instance thanks a lot Steve for evaluating and recommending the PhotoReading and Paraliminals. Both the products are of tremendous value to me and are changing my life in more ways than one.

Even, I am planning to purchase Abundance for Life Course from Learning Strategies, but somehow don't feel so sure about it. Steve have you done this course and if yes, what is your feedback on this. Has someone tried this course or knows someone who has tried this course. Any genuine feedback will be highly appreciated.

Steve, will it be possible for you to get another deal with Learning Strategies for this course(Abundance for Life) similar to what you did for PhotoReading.

In the meantime all the members out here, please share a word on the worthiness of this course.

Kind regards
Vaibhav Sharma
