Is a $4,500 "discover your superpower" program worth it?

16 weeks, 8 group Zoom calls (90 min each)
MIPS personality test + peer feedback
Praised by billionaire Mohnish Pabrai, Andrew Wilkinson (Tiny), and other top execs
Works out to $375/hour

Seems like something I could DIY for way less? Anyone done programs like this—do they actually deliver or just good marketing? Need honest opinions before dropping this much.

Maybe I'm just cynical, but I can't imagine anything like that could be worth the cost in money or time. If you pay to learn something that will be useful to you, even something like a tech certification, that I can see. I'm a big believer in learning things and bettering oneself. Yet when I hear about something like discovering your superpower I immediately get turned off. Perhaps my superpower is skepticism.

No. Complete scam. Everything you need to learn you can learn for free. Save that $4,500 to invest in your business. "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

Yes you could pick up any decent self help book for a fraction of the cost. Reading the book, you’ll have more time to self reflect and come up with your own solution.

I highly doubt one of those is worth it. I just think those things are kind of a scam to be honest. Granted I haven't ever done one but nobody that I know who has greatly benefitted from it.

Woof. Pass.

From reading a number of books and listening to a number of podcasts about starting a business, one underlying factor they all share is to have deep passion for what you do. How do you know what your passion is? I mean I think a lot about golf but i don’t think that’s a passion. It’s my hobby. I think most people just know.
