No shortcuts to investment success: Mark Bouris

Larry SchlesingerDecember 7, 2020

People who pay thousands of dollars to attend investment seminars in the belief this will help them get rich quick are only fooling themselves, Yellow Brick Road founder and Celebrity Apprentice host Mark Bouris has warned.

Bouris says there are no “shortcuts” or “secrets to success” - only “pure hard work”.

His says his message is aimed at “those people who pay tens of thousands of dollars to find out things like the seven secrets to success”.

“It’s all BS. There is no such thing as a secret to success,” said Bouris in an interview on a Channel Nine Saturday morning breakfast show.

“There are no secrets other than work hard, be committed and having a purpose.”

This message may equally apply to those who attend property investment seminars, with ASIC currently clamping down on dodgy spruikers.

Usually the initial investment seminar is free - accompanied by a free lunch - but follow up one-on-one consultations come with a hefty financial investment requirement.
