I'm not implying you’ll duplicate them or that you’ll get any results at all! Your results will vary greatly and will depend on many factors including your experience, work ethic and other factors as well. The fact is, the average person who buys any business course or training gets little to no results. The results I share here and in other places are for reference only.
