After following Brian's YT channel for a while I had the confidence to enroll in the Business Accelerator program. From the very beginning (salespage/salesfunnel) I had the distinct idea that the promises where too good to be true. The fake scarcity, the fake exclusivity, the "secrets". I should have known better but do not entirely blame myself. I also blame deceptive marketing and emotional language. There is a no questions asked refund policy.. yes only in theory.. In practice, once you pay you lost everything. The thing he teaches in his course are 1. Unethical; promoting fake guru tactics online 2. Scammy; spamming and abusing policy guidelines 3. Goes against the GDPR laws for Europe and can seriously hurt you and your business. The people helping within the course are just old students who are trying to make it work.. of course they are not capable of really helping new students... there is soo much more I could write about this but I will abstain from doing so. The short conclusion: It ticks my box for being scammy because of the lies, deception and psychological tricks that are being utilized. This guy just received 1.1 Million USD with a crowdfunding action on his site, I can't believe he fools even more people. Yes guys, he looks very decent, charismatic, ethical, honest.. But i am warning you. this guy is not how he seems.

Brian Rose promised us that we would have a business that works in real life, but I only ended up with a half-baked product that was not going to sell in any way. We where manipulated and our world view distorted by using clever NPL techniques so you do not question their motive.
They took advantage of me cause I was depressed and I wanted to help my sick grandmother who needed better medical care.
Not only did I lost my money but I lost my reputation as being a business person by a local community of entrepreneurs.
And they did not any shape of form qualify you for their product. Paying 250 euros a month in Estonia is ALOT.
You only make 700 euros per month if you live in a smaller city. And you have to pay for you flat, food and other expenses. It also caused me lot of unnecessary mental stress damages.
They also made us use bots and spam our friends and thats agains the EU commerce laws.
At the end of their course I learned that the course was written by a Julian Bailes who has never run a business before nor did he have any credentials to do so.
The best part was that Brian promised us that he would mentor us for 8 weeks but in the middle of our course he went to do ayahuasca in middle of the Amazon.
Here is a video of him in the Amazona's that dates it in the middle of the summer when the course was on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Nobody that started from zero at our course made back their money. And only few people made money cause they all-ready had a business and they used their existing customers to buy their products.
Nothing that I learn from the BA was insightful noir practical.
Most of everything was all-ready outdated or half-baked ideas from books.
And the books they literally copied from where more in-depth and practical then the course itself.
Also he peached that you have to use social media to get customers but later when the course ended. He made a video that explained that they use email marketing to get customers.
There are lot of these kinds of contradictions in the course.
They promised that you did not have to pay any additional costs. That was a lie as-well.
Cause you needed to buy a domain, set up a Squarespace website, buy Zoom. Thats about 200-300 dollars extra.
And don't forget about making a logo, branding, social media advertisement. 500-1500 dollars
And of-course to be able to run a SUSTAINABLE business you need PEOPLE! So you pay €€€€ extra
NO MAN LEFT BEHIND - what a joke! A lot of our classmates where left behind. And the only thing they did was to call their names at meetings. Or send a few messages from facebook.
He also promised to help us promote our businesses trough his twitter channel but he has not done it since.
And one more thing.
Thats where I had enough of his "Spirituality" when I saw him trying to sell his course to a desperate women who was missing a lot of her front teeth and was living in a car.
Best yet my friend wanted to thank him but in returned he was kicked out of the Zoom call. Now thats what good mentors do when they get payed.

Purchased the program and started the program. By week 2 I realized I didn't have time for this at the moment and wanted to be apart of the next training. 6+ months pass and I get an email asking are you ready to start and I said yes. Next thing I know they want me to pay 3000 to rejoin. I tried to plead my case that I paid for it and was already in the course with a promotional price.

I was hounded after subscribing to the London real podcast and youtube channel with relentless spam emails to join the London real Brian Rose business accelerator course 2019 Q2,
I was a fan of the podcast as some really high profile guests have been interviewed on the show so I believed that anything to do with London real would be genuine and would at least be of a professional standard not to mention the 100% money back guarantee no questions asked within 60 days. This course is a COMPLETE SCAM and uses tactics of exploiting peoples vulnerabilities to get them to enrol. I was even asked when considering the course to borrow the money from my friends and family to pay for it.
All the promises made to encourage you to sign up are complete lies which include personal mentoring by Brian Rose himself, I did not get to speak to the man for so much as one second, The promise of 90+% success rate complete lie on our course of I think 85 people approximately 8 people had a business at the end and at least 6 of these were in business before the course.
The NO MAN LEFT BEHIND lie, I did not have any contact from anyone in London real including my own team leader after 28 days into a 56 day course in fact I only received maybe 12 messenger messages of which 3 had any advice in them in total in those 28 days. After that I was completely blanked and received absolutely no instructions or support. (the team leaders are not in fact the experts we are told to get us to join the course but merely past pupils from the previous courses) in fact one of the students who spent plenty of time in our group chat asking for help was amazingly appointed as a team leader for the very next course.
THIS COURSE IS SERIOUSLY A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY> PLEASE DO NOT LOSE YOUR MONEY TO THIS SCAM

Full as promised before course refund with no questions asked

I would like to warn anybody who would like to join the highly advertised Business Accelerator Courses by Brian Rose! Here are my reasons why:
If you think, you will be mentored by Brian Rose, you are terribly mistaken! Brian Rose never appears in the Facebook chats or discussions and you will never experience 1 on 1 mentoring by him. He appears for 60min weekly in a Zoom call and you will share this call with other 100 Business Accelerator participants!
The core of "sophisticated marketing techniques" lies in spamming your Facebook family and friends and inviting them for a webinar in which you are supposed to sell them your digital product for $27. Not only this can totally destroy your personal and professional reputation, it is against EU GDPR law!!
"No man left behind" became a mantra of this course! However, the truth is less than 50% participants finishes the course.
You will be "coached" by unexperienced and unprofessional team coaches who did the course before you with little to no business experience. As a result of that, you will spend majority of your time (!!!) researching this topic on your own or with help of other desperate team members.
The learning materials (only videos, no E-books, no pdfs, no ppts) cover only the very basic stuff and are predominantly outdated (especially the Squarespace tutorials). So again you will have to spend your own time researching the topic on your own!
The "life" webinar in which Brian advertises his course is, in fact, pre-recorded! In addition, he mentions in his webinar that one will be expected to spend 4 hours WEEKLY on completing tasks whereas in reality you will spend 4 hours DAILY (don't forget you will have to research everything on your own)
And finally, the current price ($3000!) for the course is totally unjustifiable considering all the points mentioned above.
Don't expect to get your money back via London Real refund policy, the only way how to get your money back is via your bank!
Conclusion: Save your money (and time)! The Business Accelerator is not worth it!!!
My demands:
To be refunded in full!

BTW, I've also served as a Dean in several accredited universities in the UK and Middle East, taught at all levels of education up to postgraduate, and been involved in many QAA and Teaching Audits, been an advisor to other UK universities and colleges, the ILEA Inspectorate in London, and served on several national committees, receiving a "Woman of the West" award for my services to lifelong learning and adult and women's education, so I'm something of a veteran in education, training and human development in different cultures, I'm not just having a rant because I didn't think a course was very good. There a serious matters of principle here that need to be addressed and Brian Rose needs to be accountable for his misleading advertising and claims that are not fulfilled. I would NEVER treat a client or student as LRA has done.

I have absolutely the same experience... I finished BA with useless half-baked product which is unprofessional and I have to actually fix all damage I've made by following Brian's process... Clean up social media, re-build the website, get rid of mailchimp... Apology to customers, because automatized e-mails do not work properly... In my opinion, B.Rose has a good deal with squarespace and mailchimp, because we had to create the website from squarespace even we had our own, I had to pay $350 for the website and $15/month for mailchimp to make it work. Even, we were told at the beginning there wouldn't be additional costs, I paid this to make it work, like Brian said many times TRUST THE PROCESS, I did trust and that was a big mistake. No successful business, lost reputation, lost money.... His BA course is definitely NOT worthy US$2997 I spent for it. Plus additional costs for website etc. I am NOT a salesperson and this course is all about sales - no matter what. No matter if your product has a quality or not - just sell it!!! I was very disappointed and wanted money back but then I find out in London Real policy says ALL SALES ARE FINAL... Yup, Brian Rose, enjoy my $2997 and have a nice day!

I've been had... Same amount, 3400$ CDN. Couldn't keep up. Business accelerator. A few weeks ago. I was getting sick! This was too much. Unnecessary stress. No support. No money back. I wish I'd looked it up, read reviews before "pulling the trigger". WE were over 300 people... Some still getting in in week 3... Crazy! I liked to watch BR interviews. That's how I got in. Even contributed close to 200$ CDN to his Freedom platform. He'll have to clean up his act. Integrity is becoming of the upmost importance in business. He's got to let go of greed or else he's doomed.
