I attended Ramit Sethi’s livecast today pitching his 6 week “I Will Teach You To Be Rich Boot Camp“. Here is a section of his sales pitch of the program – taken from his bootcamp program announcement page – that convinced me to enroll !
“The I Will Teach You To Be Rich Boot Camp is a 6-week program that will help you automate your finances, pick the right accounts, begin investing, create a bulletproof plan to crush debt, and let you automate the day-to-day so you can focus on the things you REALLY care about:
- Traveling
- Spending money, guilt-free, on the things you love
- Hanging out with friends and family
- Earning more
- Focusing on getting out of the rat race
Each week, you’ll get material on credit cards, picking the right accounts, negotiation, investing, automation, and more. You’ll get lots of material from my book, so how is this Boot Camp different than simply reading my (or any) personal-finance book?
1. Live & personal Q&A from me each week. In addition to the weekly curriculum, I’ll be doing live webcasts each week, answering your SPECIFIC questions on money, debt, automation, and more.
2. Not just money – entrepreneurship and psychology. Each week, I’ll give a mini-talk on an entrepreneurial topic like “Managing Virtual Assistants” or “Productivity for Entrepreneurs.” I’ll cover psychological techniques and barriers and show how to apply them to YOUR situation.
3. Guest speakers on entrepreneurship. I’ve invited guest speakers like Charlie Hoehn (Recession Proof Graduate author), Pamela Slim, and Penelope Trunk to talk about topics like marketing, pricing, finding your dream job, and more. You’ll get 1 hour with each of them, live, on a webcast where you can ask questions and get specific answers.
4. A community of other people who are investing in themselves. We’ve put together a private community site where you’ll be able to exchange the best techniques you’ve used, which techniques to AVOID, and how you’ve paid off debt, earned more, automated, started side businesses, and more. Imagine a close-knit group of community members where you can ask personal questions and get meaningful answers. A group where everyone wants to be there – and support each other.
The most important difference in all of this is ACTION.
Ramit has even offered a 30 day money back guarantee, provided the request is made in good faith.

I normally research and extensively evaluate any kind of goods or services that I purchase, but I was convinced enough to join this program immediately !
I later wrote a detailed post on why I joined the bootcamp.
I have also listed SPECIFIC goals that I want to accomplish. I will post each and every ACTION I take in my attempt to achieve these goals LIVE on this blog, under this tag – “I Will Teach You To Be Rich Bootcamp” (subscribe)
I won’t ask you to wish me luck ! Instead, I will ask you to do what Ramit would do, which is KICK ME IN THE ASS if I am slacking on this bootcamp !
