Hi CR4 Team,

I joined I Learning Global TV over the holidays and I have to share it with everyone. There is so much information available on one site its incredible every subject you need to know in any industry.

This has got to be the best opportunity to educate yourself I have seen in my whole life. Check out this www.ilearningglobal.biz/david007 there are lesons available to view on the products page.

Please can you guys check it out? I am from an Engineering background so always a bit sceptical and you are all Educators and maybe you can recomend me a better site.

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2010

DJ

This is some of the worst self-promotional horseshit I have ever seen. I will take note of it, and make damn sure not to hire anyone who mentions it.

Hi Tornado,

I see your an American, maybe you can find time to watch an 8 minute video on how to save your Tax dollars?? Unless of course you like giving it away to banks that should be allowed to fail! Its by Sandy Botkin you will have seen him on CNBC FOX etc http://www.ilearningglobal.tv/video/index.html

5 years ago I was broke after a failed business venture (you can view the promo video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7XMef-m-dw does advertising a failure count as self promotion??) My wife had to sell her Jewelry so I could go and take a paid job. Long story short I read lots of books did the audio courses most of them being from the US and now we are financialy independent and I put it down to self education and self help books. I was skeptical I am a welder from Blackburn in the UK.

But it works and I would like to help other people do the same and thats it Tornado.

Sorry I am not so good at copy writing.

I didnt mean to upset anyone.

Cheers

Dave

Education is best when you get it the hard, boring way - by actually spending hour after hour working at something. (Not that I'm in favor of actually working - shudder) If you want to learn engineering, the best way is to design something, then try to make it, then try to fix what you just screwed up, then measure what you've made, then fix it. That takes effort and it takes time. I don't trust gimmicks and short-cuts; if somebody tells me I can learn something useful in seven minutes, I usually grab my wallet and try to get my back against the wall.

With you on this one Tornado.

Would I be correct in thinking that the OP signed on as an Independant Marketer.

This kind of sentence gives me the shivers - smacks of some sort of pointed four sided structure.

"Talk to the person who invited you to join iLearningGlobal. They can help you learn all the ins and outs of the business. When in doubt ask the person who invited you any questions you may have. If they don't know they can ask someone above them and get you the answers you need. iLearningGlobal does provide a highly informational portal for marketers packed with training, resources, calls, audio programs, video, forms, and much more to help you be as successful as possible! As a marketer you also recieve a business back office and your own replicated website."

You call that Educate, that is nothing but paid advertising commercial you see on television. packaged only slightly different

And best oportunity to educate yourself.........I don't understand......compared to what?

Education can come in different forms of packages.......this, you may be educated, but in ways you don't realize.

This is such a trajedy, for the 4th time in our history we have a way to cheaply educate any/everyone and it seems the scamers are going to give on-line education a bad name. We need good, honest, acredited, inexpensive education and the internet could be it, but this is a piramid skeem.
