My workshop with Rule One has been life changing! The content is top notch, even for someone with little investing experience. And the coaching was superb. I can not recommend Rule One enough for any individual investor!!!

The workshop was engaging and packed with solid information about investing, the market and how to build wealth. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to build wealth and add to their income. If you are serious, this will change your life.

After the weekend workshop we felt hope for the first time that we will be able to take care of ourselves fiscally. Learning that Rule #1 had a set of rules to follow when investing gave us the confidence to take the next step. It’s a game changer!

The workshop was very professional. The staff was knowledgeable and engaging. I went from little to no knowledge of investing and trading to feeling that “I could learn how to do this”. What a great program! I highly recommend it!

I thoroughly enjoyed and will continue to enjoy learning with the Rule One team. Phil has built an amazing group of coaches and great humans. This has been better than any investment seminar or research service I’ve ever used. The team truly cares about you and your education. They teach, you practice and do the work. This isn’t a get rich quick or short cut system. It’s about tried and true principles of making sound judgement with your money under your own guidance. It has been invaluable for me and I plan on staying long term. Thank you Phil and the entire Rule One team.

The work shop is no joke, you are immersed in learning right away. The tools taught, approach used is the best investing class I've attended. When you walk out you will be tired, but confident and inspired! This is a real life opportunity to change your financial direction!

I joined Rule #1 with zero experience in finance and I have grown my account significantly even just starting out with a few basic maneuvers put of the many that have been taught to us. I love the team, everyone has great attitudes and are fun and relatable people. I am do grateful to have found these guys. I had looked around for a good investing course and they all looked so stuffy. These guys are the opposite of that, and I am inspired by their way of investing and living

Phil and his team really care about sharing their lessons learned and their strategies for investing and trading so that you can follow Rule 1! The course is fun and extremely educational, a great mix of theory, demos, and hands on practice. If all you learned was how to assess a company for the 3Ms, and calculating an on sale price, you would be on the right path to invest like Warren Buffett. But there is much more that they offer, along with a great team of coaches and admin that make you feel like part of the family!
