Awesome!!!! I truly enjoyed the Financial Seminar in Detroit. This was one the best 3 day seminar(training)that I had ever been to. Wow!! Wow!! Wow!!
~Venita J. - July 2011
Me and my boyfriend just attended a 3-day seminar in Cleveland, OH and were completely impressed with the information we've learned. If you want to know about investments and how to protect yourself and your family, you absolutely must learn the things that were covered during the class.
~Julia J. - May 2011
This has got to be the best seminar I have ever been to. There was so much information to take in my brain was fried by the end of the 3rd day. Everyone was a blast and I had a great time
~Isaiah B. - May 2011
I took your cash flow class a little over a year ago and have been trading credit spreads for several months since then. Best class ever! Thank you for teaching such a great strategy. Just since January of this year I have made $30,062.21 trading credit spreads.

I just attended the 3 day event in St Louis. WOW! Besides being motivated and informed, I have not laughed this hard in a long while. I really enjoyed and benefited from the seminar. It was first class all the way!
~Roger K. - May 2011
I was at the last 3 day Financial success conference of yours held in St. Louis and I have to say it was the most successful use I have ever made of my God-given time.
~Godfrey T. - May 2011
You really opened my eyes to a lot of things I had never heard before.
~Michael K. - May 2011
The Saint Louis Financial Success seminar was outstanding! I learned so much from wonderful, respectful teachers. I love that you guys love doing God's work and have made that key in your business successes. I'm officially a student and look forward to attending M5 in Phoenix! God Bless YOU! You rock!
~Brenda C. - May 2011
I would like to personally thank you for your time and efforts in teaching the first Mastermind course in St. Louis. In my opinion, the weekend was a success and you did an awesome job teaching... I appreciate everything you taught over the weekend. Eric and I spent Sunday evening driving the neighborhood and realized how many properties are boarded up, ugly and ready to be wholesaled in upcoming areas!
~Scott R. - June 2011
the conference was AMAZING!! I am so grateful to all of you for giving me the lifeline I need to change my life. I will take full advantage of everything you have given me. I so appreciated that you didn't just send me on my way but you took the time to talk with me, give me tools I can actually use NOW, along with support and encouragement. You guys ROCK!!

I have been a very successful real estate investor since the 90s (I'm 48 years old and am financially free) and have had a lot of training including several seminars with the James Smith Company. The training that we received from Joseph Irons has been the best training I have received to date. His genuine care for everyone was very evident. He was very sensitive to making sure ever one understood what he was teaching. He really focused on residential wholesaling which I felt was the best avenue for most of the students who appeared to have little capital and experience. He then gave us a thorough overview of other techniques as well. I made $5,000.00 on the bus tour. Another student made $6,000.00 and another should make about $50,000.00 for deals that were made on the bus tour. I cannot say enough good things about Joseph Irons. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn about how to make money in real estate.
~Neal B. - June 2011
I just completed the Financial Success seminar which was held in St. Louis MO. My mind was completely blown away and I loved every minute of it! James and Ryan Smith are charming & intelligent gentlemen. Their sense of humor and brutal honesty are refreshing! They are truly compassionate about what they do and want so much to share their knowledge and expertise to any and everyone willing to listen and learn. I learned so much that I can immediately apply to my life and recommend to my children
~Cindy N. - May 2011
We were both so blessed by spending our week learning. We are both excited to jump in and apply what we learned and then later pass it to others in our family. BIG thanks to all the speakers for taking time to give back and reach out to help others up. EVERYONE who was on Staff or speaking, were some of the most professional professionals we've met. Oh, and Thanks, Ryan for giving me permission to drive my car fast,(though not carelessly). YOU ROCK!!
~Deb G. - May 2011
My fiance and I just completed the three day seminar and it was AWESOME! The most impressive thing was the information and how you gave it so freely. It was easy to understand, and very inspirational. I would recommend everyone attend this, it is just that good. I went into this with a very open mind and left with a new perspective on life not just on investing. Everyone was very helpful and informative; all of them have a vast amount of knowledge and obviously love what they do in sharing the information.
~Mark T. - May 2011
Just finished an amazing 3 day event in Saint Louis Missouri, with Ryan, Jamie, James, and associates. I was completely amazed at the value of information that was shared with us over the 3 days. I worked in the financial industry for 3 years and did not know a fraction of the information they taught. They made the learning fun, so time just flew by and it felt as if I was with friends. I would recommend this seminar to anyone and everyone that wants to get ahead in life. They genuinely care about people and wish for them to succeed. One of things that I really enjoyed about the seminar is that they are very direct and tell it how is, they do not beat around the bush! If you do not want to know the truth, don't attend! I cannot thank you all enough for the time you spent teaching us, as well as the incredible value you empowered us with! THANK YOU!!!
~Tony F. - May 2011
When I came to the Seminar, everyone was so helpful, polite, and willing to do whatever it took for you to become successful. This was all new to me because I was so use to everyone being a hatter and only out for them. Everyone who spoke at the Seminar was Extraordinary. I had a lot of fun and learned sooooo much! It is totally worth way more than they charge. The information I received these last few days is priceless. Ryan and Jamie Smith ROCK!!! I want to also personally THANK Jeff who helped me!!! You ROCK TOO Jeff! You all do!! I have no complaints on a scale from 1 to 10 (were 10 are outstanding) I give you guys 10000000000000!!!! No, it is not a miss print. I can't wait to work with you guys in the future!!
~Felecia H. - May 2011
I just went through a 3 day Financial Success Seminar and I have to say that it was the most eye-opening experience that I have been to. I have been to a lot of seminars, but none of them spoke to me like this one. I feel like I was in church and received the message. Ryan was exceptional and I love the concepts and business model. All of the other RE seminars and stuff that I have been through didn't ever have the underlying pay it forward message. That is the greatest message of all.. If everyone would get it, the world would their differences.
~Jeffery M. - May 2011
This was by far, the best teaching about creating financial wealth I have ever received
~Pam T. - May 2011
Awesome seminar this weekend in St. Louis. I left there with a stronger desire to get my life and finances on track.
~Linda O. - May 2011
What a fabulous weekend I spent with you. Your generosity and dedication to serving less financially fortunate made me really believe in getting my own problems into perspective. As a winner of one of the property drawings, I am eager to learn more and really put some of your teachings into action. Your entire group was entertaining, thought-provoking, and truly invaluable! Thanks!"
~Nikki S. - May 2011
My wife and I just finished the 3-day seminar here in St. Louis and we are in shock and awe. Ryan, James, Mark , Steve, Bob and the entire staff were simply outstanding. My life achievements was becoming a naval aviator. My second will be success with my wife using your blueprints for our family's future. As I heard from you, I pass back - YOU ROCK! I would be remiss without thanking all of you for your time and willingness to share.
~Dale and Trish G. - May 2011
I had the opportunity to attend a fantastic event hosted by the Smiths 2 weeks ago in Memphis, TN. The whole 3-day experience was phenomenal and so full of information that I am sure everyone in attendance learned something beneficial where action could be taken immediately! This Financial Success event was one where no matter what level of expertise you have or your current financial situation, it was taught in a way tailored to fit your needs
~Jo C. - April 2011
This seminar was absolutely FABULOUS!
~Killian H. - April 2011
I attended the Financial Success Workshop in Memphis, TN and all I have to say is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I'm at a loss for words the valuable and knowledgeable information that was given all three days of the seminar. Every single speaker was GREAT! Thanx guys ;)
~ Lavonne W. - April 2011
My husband and I just completed 3 days of exciting, professional training at the Financial Success Seminar in Memphis, TN. It was more than I could have hoped for. We are both professionals with a great credit score. We thought we were doing well. Ryan Smith and his team of experts opened our eyes to a new world and a brighter future. My husband and I have a combined 44 yrs of education but were clueless to the information we were presented with over the last 3 days. We now have information, access to the needed education and the tools we need to make a life and a future for ourselves and our families. We can also be a blessing to those around us through this training. We understand the necessity of education and we don't mind hard work to reach a goal. Regular education gives you a spoon to work with, these guys gave us a shovel.
~C T. - April 2011
I would like to thank you guys for the training. It was excellent. It was also a slap in the face to realize my financial success is based upon my efforts and that I don't have to keep sucking the toes of people on my job, hoping for success.
~Laura E. - April 2011
Just wanted to quickly give you all a shout out to show my appreciation for the time and effort you put into your three days in Memphis with us. My wife, Whitney, and I both agree that we don't remember ever being at a conference/seminar where we stayed fully alert the whole time. Well, now we can say we've been to one. We learned so much and both know we have a long road ahead of us in order to take the right steps for our future, but you and your team (especially Jamie) really helped us become confident in our decision.
~Jed H. - April 2011
The financial success summit in Portland was a life-changer for me. Blew my mind in a GOOD WAY! I'm so motivated to accelerate my journey towards success with the practical knowledge I learned from the seminar, coaches & presentations. I'm excited!
~Jessica M. - April 2011
I had a great time at the event in Memphis, TN. Everyone was fantastic! All of the speakers were hilarious! I left it with TONS of knowledge I didn't have going in. I now think about things very differently and look forward to the upcoming Core Real Estate Strategies class and of course the M5 event! I have been encouraging everyone I know to check this event out! Thanks for everything!
~Kyle P. - April 2011
Thanks you so much for the Financial Success seminar in Portland, OR! This was one of the best I've ever been to. I really appreciate your approach and the information you shared. I highly recommend this seminar to any and everyone
~Travis D. - April 2011
Just finished 3 day conference in Portland, Or. I was blown away at the possibilities that were shown. I was so impressed that it wasn't a high-pressured sales pitch. They were genuine, informative and didn't try to convince me that I HAD to buy into to it. The information was so great that I haven't stopped telling people about it. Am very excited to start putting to practice what I learned!!
~Jon P. - April 2011
This past weekend gave me so much hope. Thank you for all the teachers, especially Brian Smith. I came to the seminar just because a friend told me, "You must go!" I am so glad I did. This seminar give me all the information I needed to put my foundation in place. I WILL GO AGAIN. I want all the people that I love to go to this seminar which is a life changing experience.
~Leticia R. - April 2011
I just attended the Financial Success event in Dearborn, MI on July 22nd through July 24th and it was probably the best weekend of my entire life! It definitely had the greatest positive impact on my life! It was spending hours in a conference room, with shortened breaks, over an hour away from home (one way), learning about how we CAN make choices to make ourselves, not only successful but also, well-rounded and PROTECTED! I would suggest that everyone attend this conference, the Financial Success event
~Amanda C. - July 2011
I just attended the James Smith Financial Success Seminar in Dearborn MI 24 -26 July 2011. I have to say it is probably, no in fact it is the best thing I have ever done to put myself and my family in a position to succeed. I went into this seminar a little unsure of what we were going to be given. Was it going to be a high pressure sales event? Was it going to be people just bragging about themselves? I have to tell you it was far from either of those, in fact it was quite the opposite. Ryan and Jamie shared with us the secrets to their success, and did it because they truly want all of us to be better than they are. I was really impresses with Ryan's integrity in business and life. I am inspired to see that there are really good people like Ryan and Jamie that I can model my life and business after. The information given to us was spectacular to say the least. It was awesome to learn not only how to be profitable but also how to protect it. Each and every speaker was dynamic and very, very knowledgable in all the avenues of obtaining wealth
~Steve G. - July 2011
Mr. Ryan Smith and his colleagues (Steve Sitkowski, Mark Walter and Robert Bluhm) were dynamic! This young man has been blessed with such a powerful anointing on his life! The wisdom, knowledge and understanding that these men shared ignited the entire room with passion, desire and hope. Your support staff were also very hospitable and professional, especially Pastor Bob, Ashlee, Ken and Jordan.
