Free Lunch Financial Seminars , Not Really Free

Perhaps you have heard the expression, in life there is no free lunch. I know my mother you to tell me that regularly. As is turns out she and other were right. The investing world has many snake oil salespersons that offer a free lunch, literally, and many people disregard the old time wisdom and accept. Step one for reliving you of your money is in place.
Free lunch financial seminars are all the rage in some circles with promises “lucrative careers” in anything from investing in stock options to prospecting for mortgage leads. What they have is a captive audience and most listen to the sales pitch without much resistance. It is easier than cold calling, door knocking and highly more successful than either.
There are not many people who do not need to make more money so the market for free lunch seminar participants is never ending. Make no mistake, these hucksters may not rob you of your life savings, but be sure they will make a pitch for you to buy something , sell something or tell your friends about next weeks free lunch.
Often products and service that are promoted are overpriced and overrated. Many a multi- level marketing proposal is born out of these free lunches. Your free lunch has turned into you writing a check for $399.00 for the right so to a fool proof system to make more money.
Bottom line. If you are invited to make money with a system and selling that system makes you more money that the “product “ it is selling, step away from the lunch room and buy your own meal. You will save money in the long run and that means you will make money simply by not giving it away
