I've also just returned from HK (and I ain't talkin' about Hong Kong).
I got a refund at lunchtime on Day 3 so I can't speak for what happened after that, but here's a few things that stuck in my mind from the 2 and a half days I sat through. When you're reading this, please remember it's just my humble opinion and I am in no way commenting on the merits of HK's program. I think anyone who's interested in IP could do worse than go to HK's 4 hour intro (which is free) and form their own opinion.
1. There were nearly 3000 people there, presumably at an average of 10-15K per head.
2. Henry is a very smart guy who is making a truckload of money from what he's doing.
3. He has a mind blowing number of strategies, varying from the basic to the very complex - a strategy for every situation.
4. He has personally implemented a lot, but not all, of the strategies he talks about.
5. The whole thing was very highly organised but very long and there were too many people there.
6. When we asked for a refund we were not given a hard time. We did have to go through an "exit interview" process but there was no real pressure put on us to stay. We expect to receive our refund in 3-4 weeks. Projecting on what I saw, I'd guess they were going to lose about 10% of the people there.
Why did we (my wife went too) bail?
Because we divided the information we were receiving into 3 groups:
a) stuff we already knew
b) stuff we wanted to know and felt we could use
c) stuff that was too sophisticated, too hard to understand or too hard to believe.
We found that bucket a) was quite full, bucket c) was flooding the whole floor but bucket b) - the bucket we really wanted to fill - was pretty empty.
Happy to discuss further if anyone has any specific questions.
Cheers,
PM
