    It's this event:
    http://www.thehighachieverssummit.ie/

    They sell 2 tickets for 247€, so I'm looking for someone who would split the ticket with me (so you get 1 ticket for 123,5€).

    Hope to find someone who wants to go :)

    A high achiever could afford the 250 to go on their own.

    It looks very "motivational" and low on useful content. What are you hoping to gain from it? There are plenty of free services aimed at advising startups and existing business already out there if you look for them.

    Thanks for your helpful reply, just a few remarks:

    a) I could do that and waste 123,5€ - but is that what a high achiever would do?

    b) I could use some company and not go alone

    c) Nowhere have I claimed to be a high achiever, that's why I'm going to the summit and listen to them :)

    Thanks for the links caff... I know it will probably be just "motivational" but I still want to go :)

    OP, it would be worth asking over on the Entrepreneurial forum, might get more interest there.

    Already did, got 0 response... at least here people are trying to talk me out of it, I guess that's better than ignoring me :D

    You went off track at 'helpful'...but if I may I would suggest that the reason these people are high achievers is that people are willing to pay 250e for 2 tickets to listen to them paraphrase oft repeated truisms.

    Do yourself a favour, save your money.

    In that case may I suggest alternative motivational like networking opportunities?

    The website maker could get the hang of spelling "candidate" for him either :D

    High Achievers? Not in web design they're not.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,738 ✭✭✭Jay D


    Looks like an absolute gimmick if anything.

    Q; What's your high achievement?

    A: I host seminars that thousands of mugs pay 247 quid to attend. I intend to retire next year.

    People who go to those things are mostly mugs. Spend your time and cash more wisely.

    That money is a joke..to listen to people like Sean Gallagher..seriously??

    Please save your money and don't go. If you want to learn basic business acumen, talk to a business person, offer to do a few hours with someone for free etc you'll learn a lot more from that than listening to Gallagher or Bobby Kerr go on about work ethic and how we need to create jobs for Ireland's future. I've heard Sean Gallagher speak in person, he's an imbecile that spouts clichés.
