This is my thoughts and opinions, and it forms this review of Game Changers Australia. Created by Barry Magliarditi is a not-so-well-known business consulting and mentoring company for business owners looking to actually build real time-freedom.
I started my blog here quite some time ago. In fact, close to 10 years now. I’m still here today. I believe real businesses are built over years and decades, not months and overnight success. Many people praise my thoughts, opinions and insights provided here.
Game Changers Australia Review
This is an Australian business coaching program based on results. Barry has won a range of awards for his services, and has some decent business experience as well. A claim is that they’re Australia’s leading business coaching group is one I could disagree with, though I appreciate and support the individual attention they give. Barry isn’t so much about large live events.
There is a good program on offer called Opulence. It’s a 90 day program for both you and your business. A full roadmap with week to week steps, with proper goals set so you know what to strive for. Paired with this there is a 3-day intensive with fellow business owners.
The free resources and success stories really do give you insights as to Barry Magliarditi and his experiences on offer. There’s even a helpful podcast that I recommend you listen to. A few episodes at minimum. This way you can get the true insights.
One downside is the unprofessional website that Barry has. There’s quite a bit of stock photography (not real people) shown around. It’s also quite broken in parts, particularly the About Us and Success Stories page. Click on those pages and you’ll see what I mean. I could mentor Barry on how to build a better website, or hire someone who can do it properly… 🙂
Transitioning towards the laptop lifestyle
If that title has caught your attention, then great! That’s the person who I like to ‘work’ with, hence the blog title. I’ve got nothing to sell you. After all, there’s a 100% FREE course that helps you get started to do what I do today.
It’s for the true business person. The one who’s sick of the lack of time freedom that a business provides, and wants to break free from the challenges of managing staff and putting out spot fires. What is shown isn’t easy, but it works, as it has worked for thousands of people worldwide.
Closing thoughts
Barry is a legitimate business mentor. What he lacks in his website and its content, is likely made up for in his business mentoring service, especially 1 on 1. He helps business owners scale, whilst I help business owners simply discover a better cash flow vehicle all together.
I would recommend Barry William E Magliarditi and his Game Changers community. It’s quite small, and if you’re looking for something larger, then check out Dale Beaumont who’s been running Australia wide. Unfortunately, he doesn’t make it out to Perth all that much, and his student-only events are typically held on the east coast.
Today I’ll be sharing my thoughts on James Schramkro and his SuperFastBusiness coaching service and events through this review.
And nup – no affiliate links here nor is this a sponsored review. I simply don’t partake in sponsored reviews, though with 700+ blog posts, I do have the occasional review which has an affiliate link CTA. Again – this isn’t one of those.
I’m just going to share with you my experiences with James and SuperFast Business as a 30-something Australian.
This blog of mine was created almost a decade ago, and today, I’ve had 600,000+ visitors with no ad-spend. Needless to say, I know how to get organic traffic.
I’ve pushed my content strategy towards online business building and personal development yielding traffic from Google and Pinterest.
I serve those who wish to create an online business or transition towards the online business lifestyle. I have multiple streams of income (Rich Dad philosophy) and my favourite is scaling brands through content marketing.
Anyway, enough of a me pitch. Let’s get into what’s here for you.
Thoughts on James Schramko
James is today a well-known face of lifestyle design and was popular on the Warrior Forum years ago. Today his focus is on helping people build scale their own business while working less, and brings in a range of mentors to help his students.
In some ways his content is similar to Dale Beaumont, as is the demographic of his students. In other ways, there is a real focus on making the most out of work hours. Dale more-so focuses on the older demographic who is tech-challenged but need systems to exit their business successfully.
Both are genuinely good guys in my experience. My thoughts are echo’d through the internet.
James, like many of us who enjoy moving forward, won’t go near the Warrior Forum much these days. Like ClickBank, it’s really become the back-waters of the internet.
If you listen to his podcast, you’ll get a sense that he really knows his topics well. Often he’ll have guest speakers where he does ask the right questions like Tom Bilyeu, as opposed to creating mediocre banter and chit-chat.
So I would say that there isn’t really BS here, fluff or content fillers. In the past, James may have had such content (long before I joined), but he’s really fined his approach, content and the quality of student he wants to work with.
I think we’re all a little rusty when getting started (ahem….me especially) and it’s evident that James has been around a long time to build excellence.
SuperFastBusiness Review
This is the online business mentoring and coaching company that James has created. It’s been running for around a decade now and doesn’t have much in the way of competition.
I joined it as I needed a sense of community around me (working for yourself can be lonely, even in a co-working space) and didn’t want to go anywhere near Facebook.
Before joining, I read his book ‘Work Less Make More‘ which is seriously packed with good shit. Even John Reese (the first-ever internet marketer to do $1,000,000 in a launch) has provided a testimonial.
After reading it, I can say that it’s well worth it! You’ll find it on Amazon for 20-something bucks. James doesn’t really use filler content or use the book as a pitch for his membership or events, unlike other experts, which I really like.
Then again, the book doesn’t serve freelancers that well. Those that aren’t seeking to grow a team so they can have a better lifestyle (a key reason we got in business, right?) may not find value here.
As mentioned, he also runs a podcast. It’s certainly worthwhile to listen when travelling to and from work. Sometimes you’ll come across content with Ezra Firestone who’s one of the most prominent in eCommerce.
I liked the high volume of testimonials, success stories and reviews featured on SuperFastBusiness. That’s one impressive CV, James! I didn’t like the training frequency which is only once per year.
I guess James focuses on working less, after all. There are regular student meetups across Australian cities if you need that social connection.
Also, another negative point is that ‘SuperFastBusiness’ implies that business and success comes fast, which it often doesn’t. But you can accelerate results, so I think this is what James is trying to bring across through his education.
His demographic also isn’t looking for success quickly. You won’t find the 20-something trying to become a millionaire overnight inside his community. (Saying that is bringing back some embarrassing memories. 😅)
Inside the Course
Yep, I bought it.
It’s the SuperFastBusiness Membership that most people are curious about. Rightly so – it’s the most affordable option out there. You’ll have access to about 10 years worth of training, though personally I only went through the last 12 months.
Given the value of what James has created, I don’t want to share screenshots of the members portal. I can say that the community is alive and well. His landing page more than covers the value of what’s on the inside.
SilverCircle is the more intensive option where you can work directly with James. 3 friends of mine (all educators) are in this more expensive program and have said that it’s definitely worth it. 1 has even done a trip to the Maldives twice.
While pricey, it’s an excellent return when you consider the results that James’ own students have generated, including my own hero Pat Flynn. James has 35+ clients average now 3 million dollars per year in sales.
I’m most excited to learn about the monthly Schmramko Revenue Share Formula. As an affiliate marketer, I enjoy revenue share and is one of the best ways to create a very passive income.
So far, I’m really enjoying this community as I don’t have to step anywhere near Facebook. The layout and discussions are clean, and you often see the same names again and again.
While some people may come inside and use this as an opportunity to gain clients, this isn’t the intention and certainly wasn’t my intention either. I’m in to learn how to scale with systems so I can drop my 55+ hour work weeks to something more balanced.
The best part is that James is in the forum right there to help you each and every day, unlike some other business mentors. Just about every thread has a response from James as he carves out time in his week to be there for his community.
I’ve noticed that James isn’t looking for the huge volumes. You know, unlike the many (insert strategy where you can make lots of money) guru courses in the marketplace but instead chooses to focus on a higher student calibre; those already established. Essentially it’s a quality over quantity play.
This certainly makes the discussions way more valuable in my experience, unlike some random free Facebook business group where the underlying tone is to pitch your business.
My verdict
After reading the book and spending many hours in the community, I would recommend James Schramko if you’re looking for an online business mentor who has some seriously impressive results.
He doesn’t need your money – he’s made plenty already, especially through his previous online businesses. The man has skills and you’re paying for knowledge that you’ll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in Australia.
He isn’t for everyone. Just about everyone on the inside is an established business owner with at least 2 years in the trenches. I almost feel a little young being early 30’s.
Sure, the pricing is high, but James isn’t for the cheap person, as detailed in the statistics of his SuperFastBusiness Mastermind / SilverCircle membership.
Also, the work won’t be done for you. It’s merely tools, resources, community, coaching and accountability that you’re investing into. Many people find a positive return on investment. I’ve spent $40,000 on self-education over the last 10 years and that’s returned almost half a million so far.
Not one regret yet, and certainly I don’t regret joining SuperFast Business.
In this post I’ll be totally exposing Brett McFall and his Fast Client Formula program. This review is for those in Australia and the United States.
I’ve seen a lot of BS and hogwash in my last 10 years. This space is full of so-called ‘gurus’ today and a core reason why I created my blog. In fact, there’s plenty of people who really appreciate my insights and evaluations.
Today I’ve helped hundreds get started selling on Amazon through high quality training, plus have built two successful online businesses. And guess what? I’m still warming up. You’re welcome to find out more later.
My opinion on Brett McFall
Brett’s a pretty good guy in my opinion. Doesn’t really talk BS and gets straight into content.
He’s been in business for many years, paired with many years of experience prior to that as an employee writing ad copy. That is, he hasn’t darted around with 10 different wealth creation strategies. With his focused experience, you get the feeling that he really knows his shit.
I’ve noted that he’s paired with Dale Beaumont’s Business Blueprint program which I’m also a fan of. In fact, I know quite a few on the inside of this program too. It’s difficult to get featured on Dale’s website unless you bring your A-game.
Fast Client Formula review
This is what you’re really here for. Is the Fast Client Formula any good? Should you go to one of the events? Are the free seminars merely a sales-pitch? Some excellent questions to ask.
Firstly, yes, anyone putting on a free seminar is running some sort of sales pitch. I’m even pitching right now. ???? Have you checked out the FREE Amazon course yet?! You should. Right now. It’s amazing. Get on it!
Secondly, yes, you should go along to free events. It’s a chance to get your feet wet and gauge the speaker, his/her experience. Brett McFall often runs these events with lots of content, with of course a pitch into his Fast Client Formula. Nothing worth having in life is free.
Is it any good? Yep. It’s bloody good. Brett opens the flood gates here. His life-time of knowing and training is given in the course and workshop. A worthwhile investment if you’re a speaker, author or content creator like myself.
His training is all about high ticket clients. None of this working for minimum wage non-sense. You’ll learn how to find such clients even if you’re on a limited budget and have limited time. If you’re looking to get up and running fast, then Brett is the man to help you.
Upsides and downsides
Let’s make a fair comparison here. You want to know if this is the real deal after all.
Here’s what I didn’t like: It ain’t cheap! Nothing good is cheap though. Outstanding and cheap are never found in the same sentence. If you want cheap and nasty, then look elsewhere. Brett isn’t look for cheap people and tyre kickers who don’t want to do the work.
Also, it doesn’t have as many students as this course does. Yep – here I am, pitching again. Can’t help myself. If you’re looking for a world-class community of 8,000+ students, then look no further! I found the most amount of success within this awesome group of people.
Brett doesn’t have that many students, meaning he’s more accessible. More willing to help you and your business. Being more intimate, it’s easier to network and meet other students on a first-name basis. Definitely a plus there.
Coachification and the Fast Client Formula is a very good option at the end of the day. I’ve heard some great things about Brett and his experience clearly shows in his copy writing skills. I’m often auditing the work of others and can see his dynamic use of language.
My recommendation
You should go along to the next event coming up for the Fast Client Formula. I believe Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth are on the road show. Brett will be the primary speaker.
Will you get pitched? Yes. All free seminars have pitches. Most of you know that already. But there’s a chance that some of you will come on board as students and become another success story.
If you’re looking for something else, then consider this instead. There’s 8,000+ students here and most of which are Australian. This is the #1 training course and community in Australia right now.
I do hope this Brett McFall review has helped you get insights on his Fast Client Formula program. Also, this is a work in progress and I plan to expand on this evaluation. So more content will be added in coming months, so watch this space!
In this comprehensive review I’m going to examine George Fokas and his Fokas Beyond shares, trading and covered calls Australian educational company.
Through this blog I’ve covered many speakers, programs, courses and mentors over the years. The vast majority are great and legitimate. Then again, I have at times come across scams and some not so desirable characters. Through the resources here you’re able to get my personal insights.
Examining Mr George Fokas
I do feel that George is the real deal. He’s not a fly-by-night operation. According to government records, he’s been operating as an educator since at least 2011 within his current structure, and possibly prior.
So good to see George is a real-life person and checks out as valid when researching
I first became aware of George during the launch of World Ventures into Australia. It’s good that George stuck at his main gig, since World Ventures hasn’t really made much of a dent here.
When evaluating his social media pages, he also checked out as a reasonably knowledgeable guy when it comes to online trading. We’re talking 20 years experience here. He’s established a solid lifestyle (with a beautiful family) as a result of his experiences and results in online trading.
Fokas Beyond
His company helps like-minded individuals to learn about stock market investing. There’s a lot of emphasis placed on understanding the risks, instead of charging in. I tend to agree, and after spending $40,000 on my education, I can assure you that knowledge is the best return on investment. I applaud education companies like this.
What I liked is that they teach strategies where capital protection is in place. This way you’ve got a cushion in case the market moves against the position. There also happens to be plenty of people who have received good results, including the occasional retired person who’s looking for additional cash-flow. I guess you can say that people from all walks of life come on board with this training.
Another thing I liked is that George spends most of his time trading. That is – the education is simply an additional element. He’s still active in the markets every week, and enjoys a good lifestyle as a result. This is why his educational company isn’t as large or well known as others out there, he’s too busy being in the market himself, instead of selling courses.
A dislike is the cost of the course. It’s not cheap. But then, nothing worth having comes that easy anyway. Otherwise we would all be doing it. I don’t look at education as expenses, but as an opportunity into the future. For the opportunities I’ve taken, I’ve had life changing experiences.
As an upside, there’s frequent workshops and training held in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. This is where you’ll bring your computer in and spend intensive time with George and a small group of his students with real-life training, not a massive conference with sales pitches.
You can also attend an ‘Income Breakthrough’ free evening with George Fokas where he shares some strategies. This is an introductory workshop, and the best content is reserved for the weekend programs.
All in all, a pretty well rounded and respected mentor. Plus an educational company that has hundreds of students through its door to begin their individual journey.
Closing thoughts
George Fokas is a teacher that people have praised for years. He’s about cutting out the BS and getting to the fundamentals of trading, but making it easy at the same time. He’s someone that I can recommend to my readers her on the blog.
Should you have further questions, it’s best that you ask George or his Fokas Beyond training company. The friendly team will be able to help you out. Also, that way you can get the full answers, instead of a game of Chinese Whispers. 🙂
