Global Information Network

GIN, explained by someone fifteen years inside

I joined at the end of 2010, full price, before I'd heard a single YWYC session. Here's what the club actually is — trainings, levels, cruises, community, and the real numbers.

I should tell you how I got here, because it explains what this club actually is better than any feature list.

Around 2006, at about twenty years old, I read Kevin Trudeau's Natural Cures — the first book I ever chose to read cover to cover. It didn't feel like the other books. It pointed somewhere. I followed the author to his radio show, and on it he announced something he'd been building: a private club, opening to the public, where the knowledge behind everything else would live. At the end of 2010 I paid full price to join the Global Information Network — before I had heard a single session of Your Wish Is Your Command. That January I was on the member cruise. Fifteen years later I'm still a member, I've moved up through the levels, and a large share of my closest friends are people I met inside.

What GIN actually is

A membership club, founded by Trudeau, built around the teachings that Your Wish Is Your Command introduces. Membership gets you the training levels — currently levels 1 through 8, with a stated roadmap to twelve — plus live events, cruises and gatherings, and the thing I'd argue matters most: a community of people actually practicing this material rather than just reading about it. Kevin's own account is that the source teachings came to him through a private society he calls The Brotherhood; I hold that story the way I hold all origin stories, and I can tell you the trainings themselves are specific, original, and unlike the recycled material that fills most of personal development. Whatever the lineage, the content is not generic.

What the levels are like

The early levels are training-heavy. The advanced levels become something else — more interactive, more experiential, less like consuming material and more like being worked on. Members who climb tend to be a particular kind of person: ambitious, unusually high-ethic, the sort of people you want more of in your life. That selection effect might be my favorite feature of the whole club. (Some of what happens at the higher levels is for members, and I keep it that way — not to be coy, but because that's the deal, and the deal is part of why it works.)

The numbers, plainly

Joining costs $1,650 — a $1,500 initiation plus your first month's $150 dues — and membership is $150 a month after that, cancelable anytime. Advancing levels costs more, and serious members invest serious money over the years. I lay all of it out in the cost article, because I'd rather you walk in knowing the numbers than discover them one webinar at a time. Whether it's worth it is a different article — and an honest one.
