Very organized and well presented. Coaches were terrific and well prepared. The stories and advice I felt were invaluable and really added to the workshop. Looking forward to moving ahead. I will say though that I’m waiting for the bomb to drop

My experience @ the Rule 1 workshop was audaciously gr8! Miss Mehwa & Miss Moraima are wonderful coaches. I learn best by doing @ baby steps & kept slowing these accomod8ng ladies up in explan8ion. Jamaal H. & all the presenters were clear in knowing their craft & articul8d it well. My thinkorswim was on paperMoney feature & I put in effort through 11p trying 2 get it 2 Simul8d Trading feature like the coaches. Even Copilot gave up on me & told me to take a break & call it a night. No way, I'm a conference/workshop warrior & want it all!! I'm more than up 4 this & eager 2 do it correctly. Lead me, guide me, show me the way & I'll duplic8 it. My cup is M T. I intend 2 b doing this full time 4.13.26!!! So, when Cory & the awesome coaches are ready I'm committed. This is an incredible value (I know Phil isn't doing this 4 $. It's low investment in yourself is 2 cover administr8ion cost. Every1 is contributing 2 give back a portion of knowledge they've extracted in gr@itude) even w/o ongoing mentorship. In following the book & am versed in Yahoo Finance & MSN Money but they're very vague & limited so I found other tools I like & spent the last few months becoming versed in them. The Rule 1 toolbox @ the few glances @ it over the workshop appear much more inclusive & focus on the #'s needed 2 make decisions & calcul8ions. Sweet!!!! I'm a career martial artist. I was in a near f8l wreck caused by a 4eign invader (no ID no insurance) in 2024. Relearned 2 walk & have traum@ic cognitive stress issues w/gr8 fear of driving. The fast portions of the workshop were overwhelming & challenging @ times but @titude, p8ience & perseverance always gets a warrior thru the tuff stuff. Worked from home 13 years but company listened 2 artificial intelligence & did work4ce reduction. I don't enjoy the n@ural stoopidity of job stress & the technical hassle involved in trying 2 find another work @ home (anchor 2 home office) opportunity. I MUST be a successful Ruler 4 financial security 2 return 2 my craft & fulPhil God's plan 4 me. You can likely feel the emotion of JOY through the above & am very thankful 4 this. Since reading Rule 1, & in2 the introduction of a few pages where Phil wrote he started w/$1k & wisely managed & invested it 2 well over $1 million in 5 years hooked me hard & I knew what I was reading was real. When people speak or write from the heart th@ is testimony & testimony IS always truth. Sorry about rambling a bit but the invit8ion in this section talked of honesty & my JOY is exactly th@!!!!!!! Look 4ward 2 the next. Blessings, Ray Shure :-)

The value I received is astronomical vs what I paid. I took the 3 day online course and I will be encouraging friends and family to do so as well. The course provided an amazing amount of information and resources. I highly recommend these wonderful people if you are interested in working toward financial freedom.

I have read Rule #1 investing multiple times. I have been reading and learning as much as I can about this whole process. Doing this course was fantastic, I loved every second of it. I am based in Sydney, Australia and the course ran from midnight to the morning for me and I was engaged the whole way through. I loved this course and I will try and get my son and daughter to do this as well. I am super pumped and this will be a game changer, but not without the hard work being put in. Nothing for nothing. Forgot to mention that there is so much value for the money on this course. And my coach Terry was a champion, well done to the Rule #1 team for putting this together.

Workshop eliminated my Fear of trading Options and Stocks by teaching me how to evaluate a company, how to manage my risks and more importantly how to take emotions away from the results of the trades.
