In this video, Mike Pitt discusses, Ask Yourself This Question Before Buying an Expensive Course.

This video will be of interest to business owners, B2B marketing managers, Content Marketing professionals, Social Media Managers and others who buy educational courses to improve their businesses or learn a new skillset.

Expensive Courses

In this video, I discuss, Ask Yourself This Question Before Buying an Expensive Course. If you operate in any business sector I am sure that you regular consider learning new strategies or approaches that could potentially improve your business. This is understandable and one of the reasons the online learning space was worth  US$187.877 billion in 2019 and is forecast to reach US$319.167 billion in 2025* . Online education can be very effective as a way to improve your business.

Unfortunately, not all educational courses are created equally. Some have very little original content and are really regurgitated versions of other courses, books or ideas. To cap it all, in many instances these educational courses are overpriced and cost between $1000-$5000 each. This problem is so prevalent within the business education sector that a new term has been created to describe the creators of these overpriced courses and that term is ‘fake gurus’.

In this video, I discuss a foolproof way to assess whether the course you are considering is likely to be worth it. Will it deliver the value as promised? By asking yourself the right question about the creator of the course you will be able to ensure that you do not waste your money.

Take Action

Have you bought an expensive course only to find out it wasn’t worth the money that you paid for it? Did the course creator tell you that you must ‘invest in yourself’ meaning that you must send them several thousand dollars. Let me know in the comments section below. Also, let me know if you would like my help.

If your objective is to grow your business or just to improve the way that your business functions, you should find yourself a mentor. Mentoring offers business owners the chance to learn from seasoned business owners or entrepreneurs on a regular basis. There is a popular misconception that mentors are only for young, inexperienced business people or startups. It is no coincidence that most top billionaires with high performing businesses have mentors. I have listed below 5 very successful people who currently have or have had mentors.

Top Billionaires with Mentors

1. Bill Gates

The co- founder and former CEO of Microsoft, the world’s largest personal computer software company has Warren Buffett as his mentor. Warren Buffet* is one of most successful stock market investors in history.

2. Oprah Winfrey

The former host of the Oprah Winfrey Show, CEO of Harpo Productions, CEO of the Oprah Winfrey Network, noted philanthropist and currently North America’s only black billionaire has a mentor. Her mentor is Maya Angelou, the author and poet.

3. Sir Richard Branson

The founder of the Virgin Group that has now grown to over 400 companies, one of the UK’s richest citizens, humanitarian and philanthropist had a mentor. His mentor was the late Sir Freddie Laker, CEO of Laker Airways.

4. Mark Zuckerberg

The co-founder of Facebook, the largest social networking website and current CEO was mentored by Steve Jobs* who advised him to build high-quality teams and maintain a sharp focus on Facebook’s products.

5. Sara Blakely

The founder of Spanx, a multi million dollar underwear garment company and currently the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire has a mentor. Her mentor is Sir Richard Branson. Bill Gates is also advising Sara on philanthropy after she joined the Giving Pledge.

There is a direct correlation between these billionaires having a mentor or having had a mentor in the cases of Sir Richard Branson & Mark Zuckerberg and then going onto achieve amazing levels of success. Even if you don’t aspire to be a billionaire it is very likely that you would benefit from having a mentor. If you don’t have one it is our recommendation that you look for one within your network.
