NOTE

The Scam of Sean Ellis

The system wasn't working for people. I mean, I talked to like, for example, a teacher who put in like $25,000 was in debt at one point and has nothing to show for it./nAnd it was sort of these tactics of pressuring, pressuring, pressuring, and then anytime anyone would complain, he would try to silence them. So I heard from like, um, funny enough, this lady was a teacher as well, she put together a Facebook group basically saying, I think this guy's a scam. His course didn't work. It's not working for a lot of people because fundamentally the promise of turning someone from a non salesman into a person who's making six figures selling is not an easy thing to do. It's not just a matter of just like, take my course.
