Why I Don't Sell My Lease Option Manual

From time to time I'll receive an e-mail asking me if, rather than attending the 4 day training I offer, if someone can just buy my manual. I explain that I'm not selling a book, I'm training people on how to develop their own company that duplicates our program.
For those of you that have attended my training and received my operations manual, you can testify that my operations manual is far different than the garbage you might expect from one of those "buy my books and dvd course" gurus.
My operations manual is full of real life experiences. Real life and actual situations. My manual explains how to set up your business, mistakes I've made along the way and how to avoid those mistakes.
My operations manual does NOT make up unrealistic figures. I don't try to get people excited and pumped up about the millions of dollars you'll make, or create bogus hype about how lease options are so easy that you don't even have to work.
My manual was not written to be used on it's own. My operations manual was written to guide the licensees of Leasing to Buy, but with the understanding that they were going through intense hands on training with me.
If you tried to create and develop a lease options business using JUST the manual, you'd certainly have a huge head start, but you'd be missing at least 50% of the training. At least that much.
Keep in mind my manual offers more information than any other "book and dvd course", yet I still wouldn't want someone to try to just read my manual and try to go out on their own.
Given that, how effective and worthy do you think those book and dvds are that so many people try to sell by the hundreds?
I don't sell my manual, because my goal isn't to sell my operations manual.
My goal is to help people that are SERIOUS about starting their own lease options business, and give them the structure and outline it takes to duplicate our program.
That's why I always say that I don't teach the "theory" of lease options.
I give you a lease options business.
If you are just "curious" about lease options, feel free to e-mail me and I'll guide you on how to get some basic, yet factual, information on lease options.
