What if AI is wrong about how long real estate education takes? In this episode, Al Gordon challenges artificial intelligence recommendations by comparing AI's suggested timeline of 6-24 months for real estate competence against Lifestyles Unlimited's 16-hour Financial Freedom Seminar approach.
Al asked AI a simple question about real estate education timelines and got what he calls "a fairly complex response" that suggests much longer learning periods than necessary. He breaks down why the traditional education "grind" mentality keeps people stuck in analysis paralysis while others get educated and start investing immediately.
