“Okay, sounds great. What's my
investment to gain the information that
will save me time and money, and help me
homeschool my teen successfully?”

This event is exclusively limited to only 115 people in each location, and all of the featured coaches and mentors are going to spend a COMPLETE DAY with you, and answer your questions right on the spot — giving you information, ideas, and resources to develop your homeschool plan for success. Similar professional seminars like this charge many hundreds and often thousands of dollars. But this is a homeschool seminar and that kind of fee would price-out many who actually NEED and WANT our help. So admission to the Homeschool Your Teen Seminar is just $289.

We believe strongly that this seminar will transform the way you homeschool through the high school years, so it's important that you share it with your spouse and your teen. Married couples — if one of you registers for $289, your spouse may attend for just $239 — a savings of $50! A parent who is registered for the seminar may register their own mature teen (age 13 and up) who will receive one-third off the regular price of admission and pay just $194. HOWEVER...

If you register online by April 25, 2008, the price for admission is just $259 per person — a savings of $30! Discounts for married couples and teens apply to this early-bird registration price — that means a spouse pays only $209 and a teen's ticket is just $164!

When you are considering this opportunity, don't look at what it costs. Look at what it's WORTH to you.

Just based on the 5 components of the seminar outlined above and over 30 bulleted benefits listed, plus a 100% money-back guarantee described below, what would the information we share be worth to you?

I can make the case that the results from attending this seminar will easily recoup your investment. For a lot of you just the savings from avoiding purchasing useless curriculum is enough.

To put it in some kind of perspective, it's comparable to the cost of general admission tickets to a theme park or a ball game for a family of 4 for one day - and that doesn't include the parking, snacks, and souvenirs!

But again, don't think about just recouping the investment - think about multiplying it, and getting it back 100 times over. Plan to discover multiple major breakthroughs about how to successfully plan for homeschooling through the high school years that will save you time and money, relieve your worry, diminish your anxiety and transform your idea of how to homeschool through high school just by attending this seminar.

Can you afford not to invest in this information? I urge you to immediately complete your enrollment because the early-bird discount that will save you money expires on April 25th.

"Get EVERYTHING you need to inspire and motivate your teen to make the most of his or her high school years."

There is really NOTHING else out there like the Homeschool Your Teen Seminar!

We are confident that this seminar is EXACTLY what you need right now if you are homeschooling a teen.

But if you're still skeptical, to reassure you and set your mind at ease, I'm going to offer you my personal...

"Make-You-Happy,
All-the-Risk-Is-On-ME" Guarantee!

Go ahead, register and attend the ENTIRE 2008 Homeschool Your Teen Seminar at NO RISK whatsoever. If for any reason, by the end of the day, you honestly feel we did not deliver on the information promised, just quietly turn in your materials to my event assistant, and ask for a full 100% refund. We'll happily oblige.

You see, I'm THAT confident that nothing out there comes CLOSE to the quality of my Homeschool Your Teen Seminar and the amazing information you're going to learn.

This "make you happy" guarantee is my way of taking ANY worry off your shoulders about making this important decision.

And that's my promise to you.
