Economics-and-finance

1. The earnings potential in this book are very unrealistic. It seems as if you can be rich with almost no work.

2. Some of the business concepts are absurd(i.e. a service that uses dogs to chase ducks away from your property)

3. The author does not have your success in mind, he just wants to sell you his books and newsletters.

If you are really serious about your financial health, here is someone who not only has done the things he teaches you, but who is actually there to help you when you need answers to questions, or individual help.

If you know anything at all about the usual "courses" and "seminars"....for getting rich in real estate, etc... you know that what happens when you buy them, no matter the quality (or lack of quality!) of the information you are given, you are either left to "sink or swim" or your questions are "answered" by a group of people hired by the course or seminar business to do customer service. Sometimes you are allowed to question the "big guy", but even then, it is usually a "stand-in-line-after-the-lecture" deal.

IWS is different, because Ty Hicks is different.

Tyler G. Hicks is a mulit-millionaire; a NewYork kind of guy: he talks fast, talks plain, and doesn't like wasting time.

I recently saw him criticized by some skeptic who called Ty and insisted on being given "proof" that what Ty teaches "really works". The man was upset because Ty did not want to play that game. But notice: the man WAS ABLE to get Ty Hicks on the phone. That is because, when you call Ty Hicks, you do not get a customer service clerk, or even a secretary... you get Ty Hicks! And Ty did not refuse to help the man make money; Ty refused to waste time "proving" ..for free... that what he has successfully done for over 30 years DOES in fact, work.

I suspect the reason Ty reacted that way is because if the man had done his homework at all, he would know that what Ty teaches works. A better thing to do would have been to call Mr. Hicks and ask a REAL QUESTION. I'm sure Mr. Hicks would have helped him beyond his wildest dreams.

I know, because Mr. Hicks helped me, many years ago. At that time, skeptics surrounding me claimed Mr. Hicks would never talk to me, and that I was a fool to even try. Because I was a VERY POOR mother with a bunch of kids; I had zero to offer Mr. Hicks. However, I had bought one of his books and a one year subscription to his newsletter. I had decided to try and find a mentor from the many authors I had read, so I took a chance and called. Mr. Hicks. Imagine my shock when Mr. Hicks himself answered the phone!

When it became obvious that Mr. Hicks not only would talk to me, but encouraged me to call him back when I needed help....and then DID HELP ME, the skeptics changed their tune to claiming Mr. Hicks was "only trying to make money off of me". At the time I found that hysterically funny. I pointed out that if that were his plan, he wasn't very bright...because at that point, Mr. Hicks was possibly earning pennies an hour ..in book royalties...counseling me! Everything Mr. Hicks did was helpful and ethical and logical. He is an incredibly wonderful person.

When I called Mr. Hicks, I had actually been on welfare (put on welfare at the insistance of my husband, who then abandoned his kids)...and was living in a town that was in the middle of a depression, with it's major industry shut down. I had six kids, three of them pre-schoolers, no job, and almost no experience.

I had some ideas, but no courage and no idea how to actually implement them.

As if he were my brother, Mr. Hicks took time to help me, step by step. Mr. Hicks answered questions I would have thought would have frustrated a successful man like him. My experience with Mr. Hicks is that he is one of the kindest, most generous men I have ever met. In the end, he helped me to purchase a brand new home of my own, with nothing down, begin a child-care business which was to blossom into a chain of child care businesses where the operators were trained and licensed, purchase rental properties and find good renters for them - BEFORE I BOUGHT THEM ....by being a good landlord and giving tenants what they need... and to use venture capital to take over a small energy-conservation company. That's not all Ty Hicks did for me; he is an incredible man. But this gives you some idea.

Don't get me wrong: Ty Hicks expects the people whom he helps to WORK. Ty Hicks cannot do it for you. He did not waste hours yakking on the phone. Instead, he did something more important: HE HELPED ME LEARN HOW TO MAKE THESE THINGS HAPPEN FOR ME! I believe: if there is anyone in the entire world - besides you - who can teach you how to become rich - ethically - Ty Hicks is the man.

You have to ask yourself: why did Ty Hicks do this for me? I was a complete stranger; I did not even have a job, and I lived thousands of miles away from Mr. Hicks. Those who have actually gone and taken action to learn and do what Ty Hicks teaches know why. If you want to find the answer; if you REALLY WANT to become wealthy and are seriously willing to do what it requires, I suggest you follow a route explained by Ty Hicks!
