As a school owner, you shouldn't be hosting seminars to make money. You should he hosting seminars to improve your school's game. Zog brings something unique to the table. A lot of things actually.
Also, Eddie didn't even say you have to pay $1000. He said that the first $1k goes to the seminar guest. Only raise $500? It's all his. You go over $1000, you split it 50/50. That's reasonable to me.
Guys pay out the nose for Royce seminars and he barely does a thing. He just does a celebrity show up. Charges $50 to sign autographs. And teaches stuff that white belts learn in a matter of months. And people pay out the nose. But a guy who can revolutionize your game doesn't deserve $1k?
I'm not even talking just about Zog either. I'm talking about any 10th planet brown. Brandon McCaghren and Scott Yockel improved my game like crazy while they were just PURPLE! Louis Ho gave me a great butterfly game while he was brown. Stew Landry gave me a pass that is still money years later.
It's about quality, not belt color. A laborer is worth their wage. Again, in my strong opinion, you shouldn't be hosting seminars to make money. You should be doing it to improve your student's games.
