Yes, HFG, the are expensive. I feel, however, that if you pick the correct program, you get your moneys worth. The program I joined had four three-day weekend seminars (very full days), personal coaching for about 6 months, once a week, tele-conferences once a month, extra support, if you wanted it, and other goodies. I grew quite alot, at a time when I really needed to grow.

As far as price indicating a better program? I wouldn't go for the cheapest, but there is a corolation between money and product. I know people who have done it all online (not for me-too impersonal), "university" programs (a bit stilted for me), and others. Look around. See what feels right. If it is a good program they should be happy to talk with you for FREE at least one time, if not more. They should also not be selling you a program, but a chance for personal growth. That should be the first sell.

Hope this helps. Ann
