"...I Rick Frishman was outstanding:bright, funny and very
generous with information. I just KNOW I will eventually get on
Oprah! Another reason I know it will happen is that, besides the
fact that I am now armed with plenty of info on how to do it,
I know how to manifest into my life what I want."

"Usually when I take classes like this, I leave early because
there are so few trains to my town. With Rick's class, I learned
so much about publicity that I forgot about the trains. I got
home real late and had trouble waking up the next morning. But
I didn't care. It was worth it."
