The Decision

After leaving the workshop, I thought about what I had heard and whether it made sense to me. I know that there is a lot of hype and that most people will not make money doing it. It is a complicated field but so is what I do all the time. And there is some overlap. The deciding factor, besides figuring out the money issue, was the guarantee. Besides the normal 3 day buyer's regret guarantee they are required to offer, ACFI lets you opt-out up until the end of the first day of the training. Friday evening I can say no thanks and get my money back. All I will be out is the travel expenses.
But I had a bunch of questions. So I went back to the evening workshop session. Once they got started, I cornered A. for about 30 minutes and got my questions answered. When I left, I was even poorer and had a folder of info to go over before the first day of class.
