What other expenses are involved in doing this business ?

If you don’t have these items already, you should be able to purchase an adequate computer and projector for around $2,000 to $2,500 combined.
You should also purchase a small inventory of Transforming Debt into Wealth® products to have them available for purchase at your first seminar or your first consultation.
And you should plan a budget for marketing your seminar business. It doesn't have to be a lot, but it won't be free. These issues are dealt with in detail at the training.

Why would people need a Transforming Debt into Wealth® consultation?
Many families today are finding themselves "overloaded" with debt and they are looking for real answers from professionals they can trust. Non-profit credit counseling organizations only focus on credit card and unsecured debt and they typically don't deal with the real problems or provide permanent solutions to credit spending. Some loan consolidators and mortgage companies are advertising today that they can get people "completely out of debt" when they are only focusing on lowering monthly payments and interest rates with various mortgage products and trading unsecured debt (credit cards) for more secured (mortgage, home equity loans) debt.
Furthermore, consolidation loans or consolidating debt payments, by themselves, do NOTHING to solve the consumer's real problem - addictive credit spending. In fact, statistics show that many consumers who consolidate eventually wind up in worse shape months down the road. Having used the funds to pay balances on high interest loan obligations, these consumers fall back into old habits and charge up their credit cards all over again. Loan consolidation offers only a short-term and temporary benefit that oftentimes results in a long-term grief. The consumer needs to be educated and provided with support in order to solve their credit problems once and for all. And you will be able to blow away your competition by offering them a real solution to their debt problem - TOTAL DEBT ELIMINATION!

Can I conduct seminars or consultations before I get certified?

You will receive audio sessions from a Seminar Leader training and Consultant training, as well as a DVD of John doing the Transforming Debt into Wealth® seminar and the TDIW Seminar Manual in your package, along with your open-book certification exam.
Upon studying the training materials, taking and passing the certification exam,you will be authorized to conduct Transforming Debt into Wealth® Seminars and Consultations. Typically, you can easily meet these requirements within the timeframe it normally takes to get your first seminars scheduled.

Why is there an on-going license free and what does that license give me?
John Cummuta is the international trademark owner of Transforming Debt into Wealth®, and he retains ownership and rights to all Transforming Debt into Wealth® seminar and consultation materials and presentations of his methods and concepts so, being licensed, you gain permission to use the Transforming Debt into Wealth® trademarked title and conduct seminars under the same name.
This is to your benefit since you will be able to take advantage of the broad exposure John Cummuta is getting worldwide with this best-selling product. John's Transforming Debt into Wealth® system is being advertised on both national and local radio across America, including all the networks and most popular national talk and sports shows.
Remaining an active licensee also gives you access to our ongoing support and resources designed to help you become successful at this business.

Do I have to inventory products to sell at my seminars?
You will need to buy the necessary materials in advance for your seminars and consultations. However, we will teach you how to do this for maximum profitability.
back to Top
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I have products drop-shipped directly to my customers?
We do not drop-ship products to individual customers but we can ship seminar products directly to your seminar venue (must be a place of business or church with a UPS shipping address).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the approximate profit margins on reselling your Transforming Debt into Wealth® products?
You will usually make 50% to 70% gross profit on the Transforming Debt into Wealth® Seminar Manual (required for every attendee), depending on how many books you purchase. Your gross profit margin is usually around 50% on all other Transforming Debt into Wealth® products.
The actual profit margin is dependent on the particular product and the volume of your purchase, and whether it is a Debt-FREE & Prosperous Living, Inc. published product or it is obtained from another publisher.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How much money can I make, and how long will it reasonably take to make money in this seminar business?
As you might expect, this largely depends on several factors:
• How aggressively and persistently you work on your business
• Your business goals
• Your previous experience
• Your current sphere of influence
• How much marketing capital you have to spend
• The particular venues you choose to pursue
You can build this business on a shoestring budget, but just realize that it will take longer.
Most business start-ups can take months, even years, to become profitable. With the Transforming Debt into Wealth® Seminar business, you can reasonably expect that the process of marketing and booking seminars will take six months to a year to build into a substantial business. But you can begin making money right away with your current contacts, spheres of influence (business, churches, etc.), and by selling the Transforming Debt into Wealth® products.
Most people start out conducting smaller seminars with people and organizations they know, to get practice and make seed money.
In addition, each seminar venue will vary in income potential. You can reasonably expect to earn anywhere from $300 to $3,000 per seminar, depending on all these factors.

How much do Transforming Debt into Wealth® Seminar Leader's normally charge for their seminars?
The average seminar fee ranges from $79 and $129 per person or couple. This fee includes the Transforming Debt into Wealth® Seminar Manual, which is required for each individual or couple attending seminar.
Another option is to have a corporation, association, community organization, or church sponsor the seminar. You can charge the organization a flat fee, based on a maximum number of attendees, and then a per person fee for additional attendees. The fee should include the cost of the Transforming Debt into Wealth® Seminar Training Manual for each attendee.

How much do Transforming Debt into Wealth® Consultants normally charge for their seminars?
Fees that consultants typically charge for Transforming Debt into Wealth® personal consultations (one or two visits, 2-4 hours with a client) typically range anywhere from $200 to $500. We will also train you how to offer an even higher level of support as a Transforming Debt into Wealth® Coach. These coaching services are much more extensive, usually involving three of four visits, lasting several months. Because of this, fees often range from $895 to $1,495 per client.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have protected territories or am I free to go wherever I choose?
No, there are no protected territories, so you can market your seminars anywhere you choose.
We have found that with the hundreds of thousands of adult education programs and other organizations seeking speakers and seminar leaders for their meetings, as well as churches and the opportunity for public seminars you sponsor yourself, there is no chance of seminar leaders stepping on each other's opportunities.
There is really no need for territories.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will I be charged any other fees by the company?
No. The only fee we will charge is the monthly licensing fee to be certified as a seminar leader and consultant. You will not be charged any other royalties or fees. Of course, you will purchase any necessary Transforming Debt into Wealth® seminar and consultation products from us at wholesale for resale to your customers, and purchase any marketing brochures needed to promote your business. But when you buy the seminar and consultation products from us and resell them, you keep all the profit!
