Success University - the Review part 2

In this second part of my review, I want to look a little more closely at the courses Available from Success University - in particular 3 of the ones I have studied to date.

Firstly, let's have a look at the calibre of the Success University faculty. The courses offered by Success University are taught by the world's top Personal Development speakers - men and women who command thousands of dollars PER PERSON when they speak at events. The same men and women whose online courses cost hundreds or thousands of dollars each - yet Success University offers them ALL for less than the price of a cup of coffee per day.

This esteemed collection of over 60 speakers and trainers includes -

Jay Abraham
"The nation's highest paid marketing consultant, he regularly works marketing miracles for his clients. During his 24 year career, Mr. Abraham has worked with over 5,000 individual businesses in 165 separate industries. He has consulted for businesses large, medium and small, from one person operations to some of the world's largest corporations including Weyerhauser, Coldwell Banker, Prudential-Bache, Dun and Bradstreet, Citibank and Sears Roebuck & Company. Mr. Abraham specializes in successfully identifying and ethically exploiting a company's hidden, marketable assets to create windfall profits for his clients. While he maintains a number of select clients on a contingency basis, Mr. Abraham also publishes a series of marketing reports as well as conducting marketing and business training seminars."

Les Brown
As a renowned professional speaker, author and television personality, Les Brown has risen to national prominence by delivering a high energy message which tells people how to shake off mediocrity and live up to their greatness. It is a message Les Brown has learned from his own life and one he is helping others apply to their lives.

Zig Ziglar
A talented author and speaker, Zig Ziglar has an appeal that transcends barriers of age, culture and occupation. Since 1970, he has traveled over five million miles across the world delivering powerful life improvement messages, cultivating the energy of change.

Bern Moses
For nearly a half century, Bern Moses has been enmeshed in what he calls a "Liferatory" research, determining what went wrong within the Network Marketing profession and how to correct it.
Over the years, he has purposely experienced, observed, created, tested and honed himself and his material in the most volatile environment he could find; the Network Marketing industry.
He has sold, networked and marketed tangibles and intangibles, small "tickets" to big ones and has worked door-to-door, business to business, in the boardroom and on the phone.
And all along the way he has recruited, sponsored, trained, coached, counselled, coaxed and cajoled people like ourselves toward fortune filled futures. The results have been astonishing.

Jill Lublin
Jill Lublin is the author of the national best selling books, Guerrilla Publicity and Networking Magic. She is the founder of GoodNews Media, Inc. and host of the nationally syndicated radio show, Do the Dream and TV pilot, GoodNews TV. As the CEO of the strategic consulting firm, Promising Promotion, Jill has created successful techniques that implement bottom line results. Twenty years experience working with ABC, NBC, CBS, and other national media has given her great insight into what works for the media. She has helped diverse clientèle from banks and software companies to national and international seminar leaders, non-profit organizations, authors, entertainment professionals, entrepreneurs, and businesses of various scopes. Jill's clients and those who have attended her seminars have been featured in major US newspapers, national magazines, television shows such as The Today Show, Live with Regis and Kelly, Good Morning America, CNN, and other nationally syndicated shows.

That's just a small example of the faculty - you can see a much larger list of instructors here.

The calibre of the teachers allows Success University to offer training of a level that guarantees you success if you follow the principles - it's the same teaching used by World Leaders, Top Athletes and Business Leaders to ensure they are at the top of their game.

In this Information Age, quality of information and market-leading knowledge are real drivers in hitting the top. Anyone may have a great idea, but you can only act on it if you know what to do...

Each of the Achievement courses takes place over a 1 month period - you start on a Monday and receive short daily lessons 5 days a week. This allows you to learn at a pace that will fit in with a busy schedule. At the end of each course, you take a multiple choice exam - and receive a certificate for passing, which can be given to employers, put into your resume, displayed on your office wall or just shown to your family! Good employers value training greatly, and an employee getting training under their own initiative will doubtlessly be viewed positively.

I have taken courses such as "Secrets of a Sales Superstar" from Brian Tracy - this was a great course, teaching qualities that really turbo-charge your approach to sales and selling, and enable you to build last relationships with your clients and prospects.

Another Achievement course I've studied is "Street Smart Network Marketing" by Robert Butwin. This course taught me, amongst other things, how to do things MY way, better team building and obtaining commitment, and how to think of my business as a gift to share with others - which has led to me viewing things differently and getting more business as a result.

I'm currently studying "Triggers" by Joseph Sugarman - 30 sales tools you can use to control the mind of your Prospect to motivate, influence and persuade. I'm finding this one particularly interesting because it deals with psychological triggers and I've always been interested in how the mind works.

Overall I'm really pleased with the courses Success University offer. They have helped me change my life, and I'm now far more positive about the future and more optimistic that I can achieve great things.

The fact that they're online and accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week is brilliant - it means you can take a short course when you have an hour spare anytime, or can fit your studying in around a hectic schedule.

Next time, I'll look at the business aspect of Success University and the tools provided.
