2021 Editor’s Note: Empower Network is No Longer Active
You will be reading my uncensored Empower Network Review of what I think about this business. Note that this is a review; if you’re looking for The Empower Network website, then check below.
As I write this Review, I keep reviewing that I am still an active member of Empower Network, but not promoting this business again, and soon to end my membership, which I did as of April 1st, 2015.

David Sharpe Started A New Company: Legendary Marketer Review
“This is My Comprehensive Empower Network Review for 2015.”
- Name: Empower Network
- Owners: David Wood & David Sharpe (left the company for health reasons, God bless him.)
- Website: http://empowernetwork.com
Price: $25.00/month ( Kalatu Blogging) basic
$100/month inner circle
$500 Top Producer Formula (one-time payment)
$1000 Team Building Formula (one-time payment)
$3500 Mass Influence Formula (one-time payment)- Rank: 0 out of 100
Price: $25.00/month ( Kalatu Blogging) basicWhat is the average income from members of the Empower Network?
The five (5) products above are part of the Empower Network core product line. A core product is a “stand-alone” product in the Empower Network business that affiliates sell for participating in an 85 – 100% commission payout plan.
$19.95/month (Affiliate Program) Not Commissionable. This is not a product but rather a part of the Administrative Process and provides an array of access to the member.
Compensation: According to Empower Compensation Plan, every affiliate passes up the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and then every +5 member after that (10th, 15th, 20th, and so on). This means that your second direct “signup” will be “passed up” to your upline.
Why am I writing this?
The wonders of modern technology have moved employment opportunities to another dimension. Plenty of work-from-home options can be seen today, and Empower Network is classified as a successful way of making money online. Plenty of reasons are available for a person to join Empower Network, and I would like you to judge for yourself as I show you the facts. It is recognized as a highly profitable business, and any person can enroll in this program if they have the skill set and lots of money to do so.
Empower Network Review Pros And Cons
There are a few pros and a lot of cons to this program. After going through most of them, the products are just hype sessions of individuals making money online. Even the Monday night calls (209-255-1040) are full of hype, with individuals telling you the money they are making but not showing the details of their success.
Pros.
- A Blogging Platform from Empower Network (Kalatu Blogging)
- Very high-income stream if you are all in with the five core products and can afford the cash.
- Very nice people you meet when taking part in their events throughout the year.
Cons:
- There is no knowledge of what they are promoting.
- There are additional training that you have to pay for that pops up occasionally
- No support to attend to your immediate attention.
- Your monthly fee is $ 144.95 a month with additional cost for a successful system (like Ipas2 and level up sequence)
- No free trial is in place.
- One owner has disappeared (David Sharpe) and the one that remains (David Wood), no access to him.7. You do not own your website.
This business has all the attributes of a Pyramid Scheme and A Ripoff Scam with no definite purpose of what you will be doing or what interests you need for success. My upline told me months back that he would not work with me if I were not all-in. I.e. $5,000.00 plus an investment.

I don’t know about you, but in most of those sessions, you can get free on youtube with experts like Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Antony Robbins, and many of the top motivational speakers that the world has ever seen.
My Empower Network Review: Final thoughts
Won’t it be great to see all this information before you join a business? That is why I wrote this Review, there are lots of reviews about Empower Network, but they have made changes since then.
$25 + $100 + $500 + $1000 + $3500 plus $19.95 = $5,144.95 As an all-in member plus $144.95 monthly to remain all-in status. Also, a new level-up sequence program to have a better success rate has been introduced, and there is an additional cost with that. Every few months, this company adds new products to charge you an additional cost to their program.
Empower Network has taken its marketing to another level; yes! Bill Gates Level. I would stay away from this program. When joining a program, make sure they have a join for free status, and check it out for yourself before you shell out your hard earn cash.
Here are the stats today of empower network:
1. Grown from $1.5 million a month to $1.5 million a week in sales.
2. Grown from around 50,000 customers to over 197,000 customers.
3. Grown from 5 employees to over 105 employees.
They Got down from $7 million per month to $300,000 per month.

Excellent post. Keep writing such kind of info on your blog.
Im really impressed by it.
Hello there, You’ve done an incredible job.
I will certainly digg it and personally suggest to my friends.
I’m confident they will be benefited from this site.
my web page; louisville plumbers
Thank you, please advise all to stay away from this company.
That is a whole lot of money to be paying for what you can get for $47 per month and it is ethical too!
Exactly, are they crazy or what? Thank you for the comment.

Glad that you stay away, now you know what you were getting into.
I’ve heard a lot about this Empower Network . But looking at your review confirm my stand of avoiding this program. Thanks David for the great review.
Glad that you did, I learned the hard way, but I am fine now. Thanks.
Hey David,
Great post and review. I’ve never heard of Empower network before this post and I’m glad I didn’t find it a year ago because I may just have signed up.
It sounds a bit sketchy. Before I found WA I was on the lookout for something that would help me make more money. I wasted money on a few scams and this could have easily been one of them.
Thanks for the info.
Robert
Glad you made the right choice, thank you for sharing.
I remember stumbling across this bunch about a year back and I thought they looked pretty legit. Over the process of the year though I have heard more and more grumblings about them…now this!
Thanks so much for pointing out that one of the owners has done a runner – makes all the difference!
What would you suggest taking on in a marketing sense instead of this scheme?
Chris
Hey, Chris, I kinda envy you. You thought they were pretty legit, but you did not join, unlike me. Normally if I see something looking a little legit, I would hop on it right away. Sure would like to understand why you waited, maybe I would learn a trick or two going forward.
I was searching the Internet and I really wanted to know exactly how this Internet stuff works. Or does it really works? So I came across a company, with a free to join program, call Wealthy Affiliate. After doing my research and listening to the people in the community that was a part of this program, and normal people like you and I was having success, I new right away this is it. I upgraded my membership, go through the training, and since then, I have never looked back. Yes, I would recommend Wealthy Affiliate to everyone. Take care Chris.
Cheers,
Bishop
Hi David,
When I first started reading your review with the different product offers with the increasing price for each one, I thought, this is the kind of program with an upsell and that is going to tell you that if you want to achieve success, it’s going to cost you and I might add quite a big chunk a of money too!
So for me, when I see these types of offers it translate to scams. And when you look at the way it is structured to earn a commission it looks like a pyramid scam! No wonder the owners have disappeared…
Now, I’m wondering, have you cancelled your membership with Empower Network?
Thanks for Sharing
Sonia
Thank you for the comment Sonia
I have to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this blog.
I am hoping to view the same high-grade blog posts from you
in the future as well. In fact, your creative writing
abilities has inspired me to get my own site now 😉
Thank you for the kind words, and wishing you all the best with your online business.
Wow. Awesome review. And there was me thinking these affiliate programs were all is awesome as Wealthy Affiliate. Obviously not. I’m actually really glad that I never stumbled across this website because my mood for the last month has been very spontaneous. Nice alert!
The Empower Network really does sound like a pyramid scheme if they encourage you to go all in at that price. I can see affiliate commissions going through the roof – I guess of course, only if you go all in yourself, right?
Exactly Raymond, and surprise me the most is that they say you getting training for that money. I definitely miss something there. All the training is all hype by members claiming that they make so much money. I haven’t scratched the surface yet with Wealthy Affiliate, and I have learned so much.
My goal here is hope this review fall in the hands of people who looking to join Empower Network. Thank you for your feedback Raymond and i wish you great success with your online business.
David,
This is a really well written review. I find it interesting that one of the owners left and nobody knows why. It really makes you wonder what happened.
It’s also interesting that members have no access to the other owner. It seems like maybe he is hiding. Just kind of seems dodgy.
Do you think that for people who go all in and spend all the cash there is a good chance of making good money? If so, then maybe it’s an ok system. I mean, If I knew I would make good money I would have no problem spending 5k.
I guess the problem is that there is never a guarantee. Thanks for the info.
Robert
Hey Robert, I was told that David Sharpe and had to leave because of his illness. I prayers went ou to him and his family. if I invest 5k, and making 2k every month, off course that is a good business. The problem I am having is not making money? is what am I selling? What am I asking people to buy?
The training is no training. The $100 a month for Inner Circle in itself is garbage. I bought all those products and have not receive no training as to how to build a business online. One month into another program, and I have myself a website that I own, and how to generate traffic. the knowledge in itself is valuable. Nothing has guarantees, but asking someone for 5k is not my forte. Thanks Robert, and if I could help you in any way, please let me know.
Cheers.
Hi!
Wow, thanks for this review and the heads up on this company. I have heard real horror stories about them, and it seems the only people that write good reviews for them are either the current members hoping to make it work or the top ones who are actually making money, and those are few and far.
Do you have an alternative program you can recommend?
Shawn>>
Thank you, Shawn, for seeing the value with Wealthy Affiliate . I wish I had come across this program years ago and not fall into them internet scam out there. If we all get the education for building a business online, then we will stay away from them get rich scheme business.
I glad that you are now working full-time because of this program, and many will be following when they see the value that Kyle and Carson are giving to the community with Wealthy Affiliate. Thank you for your honest feedback and blessings to you and your business.
Cheers
Bishop
Thank you for this your nice post. Dubious programs like this one abound on the internet. This Empower Network program even seems complex to me to understand. And the complexity is deliberate; it is just to confuse people and rip them off of their money. But how can someone be promoting what he does not know? Anyone that has a reputation to protect will never do that. Thanks for the information on them.
Exactly, 9 out of 10 people in Empower Network have no clue what it is they really selling. That is why they keep changing they products often. With a striving economy who can come up with $5,144.95 and be paying $144.95 monthly to grow an online business? This is a ridiculous thing I ever come across. Sam i appreciate you stopping by and good luck with your online business.
Thanks
Bishop
I signed up for Empower Network 2 years ago and got out after a few months when I realized that my success would be determined by how many people I could “trick†into becoming members. I did not want to alienate my friends and family by getting them involved with something that would just end up draining their bank account. I’m actually surprised they are still promoting this swill. Thanks for keeping a light shining on this program so that others can be forewarned.
Exactly Roland, I guess we all see the light sometime. I wish for me it would have been sooner. Empower Network is using all tactics to make a dollar from people, and many are falling into their trap. In growing any business, education is the key, and that is why I can reasonate with Wealthy Affiliate. Their only goal they have in mind is to educate their Affiliates and help them to understand what is required to build a successful business online.
Thank your for dropping by and giving your honest opinion on Empower Network, if their is anything I can do to help you move your business to another level, please don’t hesitate to ask.
David this is a very informative site you have here and one that will be placed in my favourites bar for future reference. It’s good to see a father and son combination working together as these day’s it’s getting raider to see family’s co-opperating together.
I wish you every success and hope you can find time to visit my site as I would value your opinion.
Kind Regards
Paul
Hey, Paul, I glad you see the value in this website, that is exactly my intentions. The marketplace is full of scams and inaccurate informations. If I can show light to my audience and give value, then I can at peace with myself. the good thing like you mention, my family have the same intentions as I. Thank you for your kind feedback, and I will definitely find time to look at your site. All the best.
Cheers,
Bishop
Thank you for putting so much effort into this review. I have never heard of Empower before, but I’m definitely determined to stay away. I don’t like the fact that you have to pay in so much, yet you get to know so little about everything. That makes me super leery.
Hi Steph, Thank you for visiting my site and leaving a comment. Yes, please stay away from Empower Network and any other program that they associate themselves with. You get nothing for all that money you put in. And every time you think you finish, they come up with other products for you to shell out some more cash. Take care and good luck with your business.
Hi, your site looks very good. Easy on the eyes (not too much blingy stuff I see sometimes) I like the bold color headers to break up the content so it does not get stale if you know what I mean. It’s very easy to read and precise info. Nice and smooth and loads fast. I just looked at one that took a loooong time to load. Not good! I didn’t see anything I would change. Nice one! Cheers, Don
Thank you for those kind words about my site. that was not my intention, though. just hope you get value about reading about all those scams out there that is robbing innocent people from their hard earn cash. Be careful Don.
Hi David:) thank you for explaining all about The Empower Network. I had heard some things about it from the sideline, but now I really understand better what The Empower Network is. Some years ago I did attent a special netmarketing course. How you could find souls for your network, make lists, call people and drag them in. I really recognize the way of working here. When I see the titles of teambuilding etc. It’s not about helping people at all, they see people as $$$ and lots of $$$.
I have had telephone training, with standard reactions you could give to doubting answers from your potencial “victum”, sorry to say, but I didn’t think of it as a client, let alone a friend. But when you are new on this market, you step into it with two feet at once. Glad to have people like you, to warn for this kind of practices.
I am very curious, do you have experience in this kind of networkmarketing? Have you ever fallen for these nice talkers?
Loes
Heyl, Loes, thank you for your feedback. Sometimes your eyes are close when you are dealing with an upline in a company. You build a relationship with him, so anything he says about the company, you believe, if you know what I mean. So yes, you can say that I have fallen for those nice talkers. I thought I had the experienced, but not until I came to Wealthy Affiliate. I have learned so much here.
If I had known now, back then, I would not fall into Empower Network scam. I would have seen right through them and not become a member. Know I am in a position to help others not to make the same mistake I have made. I wish you great success with your business. Take care.
Sorry you went down the drain, but see the positive side of it, you have experience and have written a splendit review to warn other people on time to step into this trap, greetings Loes
Thanks, Loes for your kind comments and concern. A lesson well learned. The bad part is really not the money, is the lack of internet knowledge. They teach nothing. I bought over $6,000 worth of products, plus paid $144.95 monthly for two years, and learned nothing. I am now in a new company, Wealthy Affiliate, not even paid out 5% of what I give to Empower Network, and I have learned so much. People are going to really see through them. Thank you for dropping by. Take care.
Whoa David, this should definitely put anybody who was thinking of joining Empower Network right off it and I bet that people who already joined not knowing this stuff would’ve like to have seen it first when they thought $25 and I can start making money.
Over $5k and somebody was told they wouldn’t get any support unless they paid out this amount, that’s just disgusting.
I like the video you put in there too, seems like that Ethan guy didn’t like them at all, he didn’t hold back and said they should be close down by the FTC.
Thanks for putting out the warning signs David
Mark
Hey, Mark, I honestly wish I would have seen an empower network review before I joined. The amount 5k was just to stay all in. they were other products as well in $500 range up to $2500 outside the core products. And yes, I did take part in those as well.
I am glad you have exposed empower network and I read many other who has develop sites that talk about empower network.
Fully agreed that empower network is a pure scam and they run on ponzi network. I am not sure why this is still a live website and they are using us to pay for their lifestyle.
Kee up the good works!
John (WA member)
Hey John, thank you for the comment. It really amazes how more and more people are getting sucked into this scam company. I always thought that those who want to make money online are either broken or low on funds, and would like to supplement their income. But the way I see it, people spending $5,000.00 plus and an additional $150.00 monthly on Empower Network definitely does not need money. Thanks, john, and I wish you all the best with your online business.
Hello David,
I have heard a lot about the Empower ripoff and it makes me angry that they are even considered to be legit by so many.
I have heard that even PayPal will not deal with them any longer because they had to issue to many refunds, is that true?
I have heard nothing but bad about them and I wonder how they stay in business with all of the bad publicity.
Thank you for the great review, yours is definitely the most in depth one I have read and now I know exactly why they are a scam.
Thanks,
San
Thanks, San, for taking the time to leave a comment. When I was there they were using a merchant account that you had to pay 19.95 monthly. Maybe papal had already left. It amazes me how they still in business. With the amount of money, they demanding for products that have no value. They will finally get shut down sooner or later. Anyways, this company is behind me now, and I am now learning how to build a successful business online with Wealthy Affiliate. Thanks again for dropping by. Take care.
Don’t see why they can even call it an affiliate commission if you have to pay to be a part of it. I don’t like how you don’t own your website through this program either. This is pretty much false advertising in my book. I think this is one of the craziest multi-leveled schemes out there, paying more and more to get less and less. Thanks for adding your better rated suggestion of WA there so people can truly find a better place to put their efforts.
Hi, Sarah, thank you for your comment. If I had known then, what I know now, I would have caught up with all their schemes. My hope IA for the masses to see this blog post so that they would not make the same mistake that I have made. This new company that I decided to put all my attention towards is far better than Empower Network. I wish you all the best with your business. God Speed.
Hello David Well, well, well,… 3 holes in the ground to throw your money into and never see again. These wells are ‘wishing wells’ so people can wish and dream about making money but the only people making money from this ‘money pit’ are the owners D + D (and that’s not Dumb & Dumber) but Sharp Dave and Wood (not trust) Dave, who are the guys at the top.
You say that Dave Sharp has gone missing (he used to be a junkie) and you can’t contact Dave Wood either. Well they are both multi-millionaires now, so they are probably enjoying ‘their’ ill gotten gains…
As for the informative video in your post, Ethan’s been telling his “These guys are Scammers” since 2013 but as he said there are 76,000 videos promoting this as a GREAT company which of course made it very hard for people to find the few that were telling the TRUTH.
So you weren’t alone, in getting false information and I applaud you coming forward and EXPOSING this scam.
You will be helping, helping hundreds of people with this post HATS OFF to you for and for pointing people in the RIGHT direction with Wealthy Affiliate. 🙂
Thanks, Peter, glad you see exactly why I need innocent people to see right through Empower Network. We all want to make some extra money from home to take care of some bills or even as a full-time income, and because of this we tend not to do our due diligence and investigate these companies before we join.
Now I am in a company and a community that is leading me on the right path. My goal is direct all who want to earn money from home to Wealthy Affiliate. Thank you for taking the time by leaving your feedback. I wish all the best with your online quest. Thank You.
A great review on empower network. I stumbled onto their site online and was really close to purchasing it. My luck I found your site and can now steer away from their scamming. You mentioned a better alternative available so could you elaborate a little bit of that? I’m quite interested what you value the most. Thanks a lot and cant wait to hear from you!
I love sites like yours that review and expose products online. It is too easy to just start online businesses and suck people into forking over hard earned cash. It seems amazing that you pay your money to this company, and yet you don’t own your website, and have no contact with the owners…. I will stay away from Empower Network!
Glad you approve of my decision about Empower Network Todd. The bad thing about this, they really do have some nice and genuine people trying to market their products.
I know most of them will see the light eventually. Anyways, thank you for you concern and your feedback. Wish you nothing but success as you move forward. God Speed.
David, my head is still spinning after reading your article.
I am glad you have jumped off the waggon. When I was reading the different modules in their content, well, at least the headline you have provided.
I couldn’t help myself to start smiling. These guys are really smart using as raining tool NLP = Neuro Linguistic Programming, something you will learn for instance when becoming a Life Coach as I am.
With NLP, you help actually clients to open up and startin to see their potential or blocks. But, obviously you also can use it manipulative to get people hooked on something like Empower Network.
Certainly not that kind of empowerment I would have in mind.
Thanks for being so straight forward!!!
Hi, Sylvia, is funny you mention NLP, cause the owner, David Wood, practices that all the time and he says you need it in order to get someone to buy. Wow! like my old neighbor woul say, Looks like voodoo to me.Lol.
How can someone market such a program to their friends and family, knowing that they will not learn the skills to grow your business?
I am glad I decided to leave, and now I am at peace with myself with this new company. Thank you for your kind words, and good luck with your online business.
Are these guys still around? I was sucked into this program a few years back and lost a lot of money. They are a total scam and should be closed down for good. Thanks for making your readers aware of this scam. Hopefully they will keep their money in their pockets for a while.
Hi Wendy, sorry to hear that you were a victim as well. Some people, unfortunately, love get rich quick scheme programs. They just don’t want to put in the work. But what they don’t know, is that this company can be shut down any time in the future.
Do you want to really invest in a company if you don’t know if they would be around long enough so that you can gain some profit? if you looking for the long term for you and your family, definitely you want to stay away from Empower Network.
So glad you get out back then. I sure hope you are doin better today with your online business. Wendy, if is anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to contact me. Stay well and God Speed.
Cheers.
I’m sure there will be other levels added and there will be additional cost. How much money does it cost to be successful with this Empower Network?
I’m just floored how your upline wouldn’t work with you unless you pay an additional $5,000 dollars. That is a lot of money to invest. Especially, when your upline denied to help you unless you pay. Sounds like a bribe to me.
It seems like all they care about is getting people’s money. Wow! Thanks for your review, I really appreciate it.
Yes, Evie, it was amazing that he did not wanted to work with all those that were not all in. And even after going all in and spending more money for other products, my emails were not address. but that still was not my biggest problem. The problem I had was, what did I paid for. The lessons were all hype sessions.
No training whatsoever on how to manage your website. Nothing about adding plugins to track your visitors. I mean they were no training like what I am receiving now from Wealthy Affiliate. I just hope members would come to their senses and realize that Empower Network is a scam. Thank you for your feedback.
I don’t know if it’s just me who has this different perception on empower network.
Empower Network is not a scam but rather an MLM. Where you make money based on the number of people you recruit and managing them in such a way that they grow from one stage to the other. The business is so saturated that it makes it difficult for newbies to get a piece of the cake.
Also, due the the costly nature of the program, lots of people are not able to keep up with having to pay for the higher levels.And I guess you don’t earn commissions on products for levels that you don’t find yourself in.
Therefore, it makes it look like a scam. but it isn’t
You will have to be on a certain level to earn commission for that level.
So I would disagree with you calling them a scam. They aren’t a scam but their program is simply costly,which puts lots of people off
He, Fidel, thank you for taking the time to give your honest opinion. And I value that. Con artists often use the Internet to advertise supposed business opportunities that allow individuals to earn thousands of dollars a month in “work-at-home” ventures. These schemes typically require the individuals to pay nominal to substantial sums for the “business plans” or other materials. The fraudsters then fail to deliver the promised materials, provide inadequate information to make a viable business, or provide information readily available for free or a substantially lower cost elsewhere.
In one such scheme, after paying a registration fee the victim will be sent advice on how to place ads, similar to the one that recruited him, in order to recruit others. This is a form of Ponzi scheme.
Ponzi schemes and scamming are the same to me. When you scheme people on products they paid for but you did not deliver the training that you advertise is scamming.
If it is fine with you, and you are doing well with Empower Network, then, by all means, I wish you continued success. Again, thank you for your honest opinion. Take care Fidel
Cheers.
Hey, David!
I’m quite surprised that Empower Network is still allowed to be in business, and you’re also too generouse in giving EN a score of 30/100 because I would give it a “-30”.
For 8 months, I worked very hard at my EN blog, applied SEO techniques and invested a lot of money, but it was a complete waste of my time and my money becasue I earned a grand total of $0 from my efforts!
Empower Network is a complete SCAM, and I do not recomemnd the program to anyone because it doesn’t work!
The 2 David’s are only out to rip people off and line their own pockets, just as most “GURUS” do!
I received ZERO training, ZERO help and support, and ZERO success from Empower Network, and members are only willing to help you if you empty your bank account and “Go All In!”
Stay well clear of Empower Network and ALL members who try to recruit you in to the SCAMMY platform.
Thanks for the review.

Thanks for your comment Neil.
I am very surprised that they are in business as well Neil. But the word is getting around and most people do not like how they keep adding products with huge price tags, I actually really thought hard about giving them a 30/100 cause I did make some money.
I got involve with a lot of advertising myself. it had a group that I was affiliate of called IPAS2 and they had invented training and a series of funnel hoping to get members in at a low rate and then upsell them with more training and then upsell them with Empower network. I paid for leads which did not convert.
These two guys from IPAS2, Chris Jones and Chris Campbell, really worked there but of, but I was just additional money for a member.
This is what made me discontinued my membership, as you rightfully said,”No training”. I decided to go through the training that I paid thousands of dollars for? I was so surprised, GARBAGE! I know I should have done my due diligence, but they will not let you see what you are getting before you pay for it.
I will stay clear from Empower Network and I hope with this review, others would do the same. Thank you for your input here, wish you all the best with your online business.
Cheers
Dear David Bishop,
Thanks for sharing with us your experiences on Empower Network. I guess when you mentioned the high upsell like prices, I could smell right away I was in for another Scam Review right off the bat.
But, alas, upon joining Wealthy Affiliate, I couldn’t have been much happier with that decision. I have built a website so easily with their Training it didn’t cost me a single penny to get started.
It sounds like a relief you will no longer be a part of Empower Network anymore based on your findings of what they really truly represent.
One can only hope that many people will read your Review and make a wise decision with getting deeply involved with any online program.
Wishing you all the best with your online success above and beyond the horizon,
~Angel
Hi Angel, thank you for those kind words. Yes, it is a big relief not being a part of Empower Network. Glad you have found Wealthy Affiliate and that you are happy there. Getting to my Review and staying away from Empower Network is why this post was written.

I have to agree with this review – I tried out EN briefly (luckily not long enough to decide I wanted my money back!!)
I’m sure these guys probably think they’re doing good for the people who are willing to put in a hell of a lot of hardwork to get to a good level… but ultimately, I just didn’t feel comfortable selling something when I didn’t really know what I was selling – aside from a bunch of inspiration (which let’s face it, we can all find on the internet for free!!), I guess I didn’t get to the “how to con (ahem, sorry – influence) people” part!!
Great review, thanks for sharing!!
