If you've been interested in attending one of our seminars online, but are finding it difficult to get your schedule to match ours, then you will be pleased to know that we are now working to make more of our seminars available On-Demand.

Base registration fee includes:

Content & Faculty

You will need to see the description page for the particular seminar you are interested in for this information. If you don't have that web page handy, you will find a link in the box on the right side of this page.
 

Scheduling

You select the day the materials become available to you. We have a regular schedule to set up and take down seminar materials early on Tuesday mornings. You decide if you want your access to begin on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th Tuesday, after the day you register.

If this doesn't work for you, and you need to make special arrangements with us to start this sooner, later, or on a schedule that is different than what is offered here, you will need to pay the "special schedule" fee to cover the cost of staff time needed to handle your request. FYI: The earliest we can guarantee to see your request and be able to implement it, is by 12 pm (PDT) the next business day after you complete registration payment. You can request it sooner, and if we get the request in time we will do everything we can to fulfill your request, but we cannot guarantee it.

One on One Consultations with Michael Gilbert

He can help you develop a plan and get it started. One call or many, it all depends on how much help you need in your particular situation. Each call is 30 minutes in length and should be scheduled to happen after you have watched the seminar and done all of the homework. Also, you may have additional people join the call on your end, if you like.
