Wealth Dynamics Experience

"You may be aware that I am a member of Jack Canfield's Transformational Leadership Council. Last January we inducted a new member, Roger Hamilton, and invited him to give a brief presentation about his system called Wealth Dynamics.

In particular, his 'Wealth Profiling' system makes networking even more effective by helping people understand their natural entrepreneurial talents. Too often, people end up networking with people just like themselves, but Roger's Wealth Dynamics program teaches people whom they should be connecting with and how to attract them.

Roger has asked me to appear at his first ever USA event as a guest speaker. Of course, I accepted, and I would like you to be there as my guest.

On September 27, 28, and 29, entrepreneurs from all over America and around the world will be converging upon Las Vegas for the American entrepreneur event of the year: The Wealth Dynamics Experience.

Roger's Wealth Dynamics Experience normally retails for $1,490. However, as a guest speaker, I have been allocated 200 FREE tickets, which I am in turn making available to members of BNI."
