Intentional rip off
For those out there who are able to think somewhat neutrally, you do not need to be part of the 'rah rah' crowd that PP counts on for its bread and butter.
Yes, the MMI is absolutely great content and of course they have to sell courses at the end to make up for the MMI being tuition free. However I found it just plain unhealthy, having attended 3 of their courses now including MMI, that they pack sooo many people in. Really. Really uncomfortable and unhealthy.
If you have the money to spend on this as entertainment, then it's perfectly fine. But I have truly observed the presenters to be very highly trained salesmen, and I've seen enough slick salespeople to know.
They post high feedback on their site - but that feedback is taken at the key point of a 'rah rah session' at the very end of a tiring several hours. And it is meant to create 'glowing' feedback. They feedback is absolutely not neutral and coming from a place when people are thinking normally.
I have also seen how they treat volunteers- the volunteers make a measly $100 credit or so for a lot of volunteering, which they can use towards courses. Considering how much the courses are, you know that's a ripoff. But hey, these folks want to be treated like that and not hold a higher standard for themselves. It's just a shame a company will take advantage of the volunteers low standards.
I met one volunteer who seemed pretty exceptional and I asked him why doesn't he work for PP. He honestly told me that PP was considering hiring him but because the economy was going down they were holding off on hiring! (Although he didn't seemed to mind) but it bothered me that such a company, with all it preaches would not have such a problem with its mindset "Its the economy" !!!

I've attended a few courses like I said, and that means I met several people who also had taken a few courses or several. Honest to God, none of them were able to tell me how they actually used it to improve their business or financial situation. Their responses were, 'it will help someday'. Not anywhere near what PP claims about it's instant results.
What was more surprising to me, is those who seemed more invested (like having bought a lot of courses etc.) were more defensive (and yet that should not surprise me) about how people who made critical comments about the courses were just 'negative people'. Mind you, when I got some of these same folks in confidence (at some level) it was clear they hadn't been making much progress despite their investment.

Bottom line- PP courses are great for entertrainment. You can even some some useful tips. But sales pressure which has fear/scare tactics and a 'great' undermining psychology is their way of getting more money. Their courses are NOT worth the tuition, unless completely taken for fun if you want to spend that money.
They know there are a lot of hopeful people in the world, and coupled with their own journeys of knowing desperate people will do most things, they've successfullly combined it with their courses. They definitely have a cult approach and while many will still take their courses after reading this, it is understandable as you 'have hope'. But just keep your expectations of true results low, and the best advice is to leave your ccard at home. These folks can border on true 'snake oil' salesmen. But they know what's the legal line they can cross and what they cannot - they are professionals. The people who say they have made their money back - some of the admitted in person to me at the courses 'they are on a pathway to making their money back and more' - that is VERY different statement. Funny it is those people who keep 'insulting' others who make the critical comments on these boards.

Breach of Contract

Maybe it's time for a class action law suit...

The case to make against Peak Potentials Inc. (PP) is one of a breach of contract. PP has a flaw in the course contract (agreement) they have you sign.


Basically they are having people sign a contract with one understanding of what the contract means, yet they are holding people to a different understanding of the contract – one that causes a forfeiture of tuition (this is NOT explained in the contract; and PP staff will NOT tell you this if you call with general questions about the contract).


The “Peak Potentials Inc. Transfer / Cancellation Agreement” mentions the term “transfer” in the table entitled “General Courses”; but the agreement does NOT define what this term means, or how it will be used.


PP uses “transfer" to mean TWO different things:


1. Changing COURSES
2. Rescheduling a course DATES


The only clue you have that PP is using “transfer” to mean two different things is if you decide to change, cancel or reschedule a course, and receive a “Transfer / Cancel Request”. This form very clearly indicates three options:


1. “Transfer”: used to change courses
2. “Cancel”: used to cancel a course
3. “Transfer Date”: used to reschedule a course


This is evidence to support the case that the definition of the term “transfer” (which is NOT defined in the agreement that is signed) is CRITICAL to one’s understanding of the agreement. The agreement clearly mentions only “transfer”, there is NO mention of the term “transfer date”.


If you transferred from one course to another, on your registration form, under the “Course Registration” box, you may find hand written notes explaining that your registration is a “transfer” from one course to another. This is evidence to support the case that the term “transfer” is being used to mean “changing courses” (vs “rescheduling course dates”).


When people sign the agreement, they believe “transfer” refers to “changing a course”, since that is the common usage of the word. It is not reasonable to interpret that “transfer” means both “change courses” and “reschedule dates”.


Additionally, there is no warning that one will forfeit one’s tuition if the course purchased is not taken by its second offering. This critical information will not be given to you until you actually try to reschedule a course. When you try to do this, PP will start using the term “transfer” to mean “reschedule”. Unless you realize that they have now switched definitions of the term “transfer”, you will think you made an error in interpreting the agreement. You did NOT make an error – you were misled. If you transferred a course during the Millionaire Mind Intensive, PP essentially “trained” you to interpret “transfer” to mean “change a course”. But if you later attempt to reschedule your course, PP will now be using “transfer” to mean “rescheduling”.


Breach of Contract Summary:


1. The agreement clear mentions only “transfer” (used to mean changing a course).
2. There is NO mention of the term “transfer date” (used to mean rescheduling).
3. There is NO mention of anything relating to rescheduling (yet this is what will cause one to forfeit one’s tuition).
4. There is NO mention that courses are only given one time each year.
5. There is NO mention that if you do not take the course you purchased by its second offering, that you will forfeit your tuition.
6. Peak Potentials staff fails to provide critical information, and instead provides misleading advice.


Because Peak Potentials holds people to conditions NOT written in their agreement, the agreement is invalid.

Ripped off
We attended a 3 day seminar for Peak Potentials and signed up for the seminar "Never Work Again" in June 2009. The seminar was in December 2009. We paid $458 on a credit card and they were supposed to charge our card once per month. They never did and when we inquired they said there was a problem. They would not return any calls of emails after that, they just took our money.
