If you’ve ever been interested in creating wealth or getting a real life education, you’ve probably heard about, read about or even seen videos of Jamie McIntyre. But is Jamie McIntyre who he really seems? We’ve taken a closer look to find out what Jamie McIntyre is really about.

Who is Jamie McIntyre really?

To say the least, Jamie McIntyre is an extraordinary Australian. He’s changed the lives of thousands of people worldwide through his educational courses, books and seminars. His work has led to some significant changes in the industry and he was even nominated young Australian of the year.

Unfortunately, no matter what you do, you’re always going to get some bad press. Especially when you have such a fast growing profile in the industry that Jamie McIntyre has.

Yep, we see it all the time don’t we? Football players, TV celebrities, politicians and now even educators. No matter what you do, there’s always someone there who will pick at small faults or pull you down. It’s interesting to see because in most cases it’s because they’re looking at one side of the coin, or despite our mothers telling us so, people want to feel better about themselves at the expense of others -It’s much easier to blame someone else than yourself.

It’s a shame because it stops people from making positive changes in their life, and unfortunately until we as a collective community understand that it’s detrimental it’s going to keep happening. It doesn’t take much effort to say something bad about someone. I mean, if you think about the easiest way to make yourself significant it’s by bringing others down. All you have to do is say a few bad words and make out as if someone is beneath you.

The sad thing is that even though Jamie McIntyre has been an educator for over 12 years, running free events such as his “Youth Summit”, “Think and Grow Rich” events, is the CEO of 21st Century Education, has built over a dozen companies from the ground up using his own money, given thousands of dollars to charity, and even launched a Scholarship program where Everyone can get his education for FREE, there are STILL some people that kick up quite the stink.

I find it very interesting that some people still manage to search out the BAD information, but don’t display the GOOD information to provide an overall picture. I believe this is called bias? I mean seriously. The man is GIVING AWAY HIS EDUCATION FOR FREE. How much more generosity could you even ask for?

But despite all of this, I thought I’d do a little research myself to see what the biggest issue is for the nay-sayers and excuse makers, and give a better picture overall. I’ve provided the most common complaints and the evidence I found…You might be surprised at what I found!

Jamie McIntyre falls victim to Industry Scams

Before I get into the details of the supposed “claims” about Jamie McIntyre and 21st Century Academy, I’d like you to take note of a discussion that has been plaguing the industry and the internet for many reputable companies recently, through Google’s auto suggestion.

In case you aren’t aware, Google has a built in “auto suggestion” function that pre-populates the words as you’re typing them into Google.

It explains a lot about why you see bad content around Jamie McIntyre on the internet.

Here’s an example of how it was used in the UK, (Please note: this write up is from Google’s forum itself. I welcome you to check it yourself for further verification) from a user in the Google Forum:

Now if that wasn’t enough to convince you that the crap you see on the internet about Jamie McIntyre isn’t true, here’s some more about those SUPPOSED claims regarding Jamie McIntyre…

I Shine The Spotlight On Claims About Jamie McIntyre:

After doing a bit of research around Jamie McIntyre, I found a few common claims that seem to be recurring, yet don’t really make much sense. In most cases i found that the arguments were invalid or that they were simply “spammed” up in order to make the above scam work. Here’s what they are:

1. What Jamie Teaches Doesn’t Work
2. Jamie McIntyre Is A Spruiker, Only Trying To Get People’s Money
3. Jamie McIntyre gave Advice without An Advisors License
4. The 100% Money Back Guarantee Doesn’t Really Exist

Right, let’s take a look at these one by one shall we?

False Claim #1: What Jamie Teaches Doesn’t Work

Well this is kind of a broad one. Jamie McIntyre and 21st Century Academy teaches a lot of things. They offer a number of different courses over a variety of areas. And not one of these works? That’s pretty hard to believe especially since he’s been in business for over 12 years. And not only is it hard to believe but it makes bare faced liars out of around 250 000 people that have benefited from these courses. Customers that say things like:

What Jamie McIntyre teaches is from his experience and what he has learnt from other successful people from around the world. It’s not the information that is the problem, it’s the person who decides what do to with that information that is. Millions of people have gone to university, and various people get various different results. It’s up to you as to what you make out of what you learn.

If you get an ‘F’ in maths and a whole bunch of kids get an ‘A’ are you going to blame the school or is it simply that you didn’t study enough or care enough to do the work?

Let me put it to you this way: When you were a kid and learning to ride a bike; if you couldn’t ride it straight up, did you blame Pierre Michaux the inventor of the bicycle? Did you look around at everyone else riding them and declare them frauds? The person that sold the bike a scam artist?

Of course not. What Jamie McIntyre teaches does work. Provided you ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT IT. Why is it that only a few of us become professional sports people, or artists, politicians, CEO’s or anything that has a high income or great lifestyle? Because it takes EFFORT. Sure, you might fail once, twice, or a thousand times, but if you keep working at it, you’ll eventually achieve what you want. It’s not rocket science.

Thomas Edison only invented the lightbulb after 10,000 attempts. For years people were trying to bring him down. But take a look at how many people benefit from the lightbulb today.

The problem is that people are looking for a “get rich quick” solution to distract them from all the other problems in their life. Jamie McIntyre has said it before, happiness doesn’t come from money.

False Claim #2:

Jamie McIntyre Is A Spruiker, Only Trying To Get People’s Money

We’ve seen people labelled as a Spruiker before, but it’s interesting to see how easily this word is thrown around without much intelligent thought. Jamie McIntyre is a recognised educator and public speaker, holding counsel with Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Nik Halik, Peter Beetie, Tony Blair and Marcia Hines just to name a few.

He has conducted many free seminars and often donates his time to worthy causes in order to improve the world we live in. Jamie McIntyre is well known for lobbying against the old financial planning industry, because of the commission-based advice that wasn’t really leading to advice, rather poor guidance into financial products that paid the advisor the best.

When you make waves in a well established industry, lobbying for change, there are some people that go into ‘self preservation mode’ and do anything they can to keep themselves in whatever position they have. They feel insecure and try to control or sabotage your efforts. If you’ve ever had a jealous girlfriend or boyfriend, you probably know what I mean.

There are a lot of people making money out of a bad financial system full of dodgy advisors and fees that come out your ears. It’s no wonder when someone like Jamie McIntyre speaks up about it that people go into reaction and want to stop him from speaking up. Seriously, it’s the story of the big “fat cats” all over again, and we’ve seen it time and time again.

When will people get away from the scarcity mindset of self preservation and actually add value to society instead of just trying to pull others down?

In addition to that, there are still a few things here that I’d like to address:

1. As adults, we are responsible for making informed decisions about how we use our money. If we feel uncomfortable about committing to something, we can simply say no. It’s as easy as that. No one is going to look after you as well as yourself, so take some responsibility for stuff that’s important to you.

2. Those that decide to go on board with 21st Century Academy or the like, are paying money in return for a product/service which is provided. There has never been a situation where money has been paid and goods or services have not been received. Never.

3. Despite some bad paparazzi, Jamie McIntyre actually gives away his money! He is hugely involved with a number of charities. Not to mention set up his own charity foundation that helps out organisations such as: Alzheimer’s, Mental Illness, Diabetes, Domestic Violence, Leukaemia, Environmental Issues, Breast Cancer, poverty and many more.

He has even gone to the effort to set up a scholarship program to educate anyone that wants to take part and raise a million dollars at the same time for charities such as the breast cancer network. I mean, how much good does someone have to do to get noticed as providing value to the world? Some people just don’t look at the bigger picture…

Evidence of Jamie McIntyre and 21st Century Education donating $15,000 to Charity:

You can see for yourself on NATIONAL TELEVISION that 21st Century Education is featured on the footy show for donating $15,000 to charity:

False Claim #3:

Jamie McIntyre Advised People without An Advisors License

There is a long story behind this that some people seem to be neglecting due to their own personal interests. There were allegations against Jamie McIntyre in 2001, where he went onto government web databases and hasn’t been able to clear his reputation for. Here’s the scoop: Not a single allegation raised against Mr McIntyre has been proven by the ASIC, and despite the media about ASIC claims, Jamie McIntyre DOES hold an advisors license. it’s: ASIC N. 321 315

Deliberately leaving out something is just as bad as saying something that isn’t true. If a doctor told you that you had cancer and deliberately left out that he had a cure you’d be pissed.  Leaving out critical information is negligent and obviously can make someone look bad.

There is fact behind the ASIC allegations and in response to the negligent posting from other people about the ASIC allegations, you can find the truth about it at: Response to ASIC allegations

False Claim #4:

The 100% Money Back Guarantee Doesn’t Really Exist

Seriously? Do you think ANY company would be in existence for over 12 years if they didn’t have a proper and legal process for refund periods etc? Come on! What sort of a country do you think we live in?

By stating this, these “fast-cash-grabbing-lazy-self-preserving-wingers” are not only insulting your intelligence, they’re insulting the government, by saying that the government doesn’t even hold the law. I investigated with 21st Century Academy’s legal department on this one. It definitely does exist. Here’s what they had to say:

“The 100% Money Back Guarantee does exist. We created it! Like any other legal document there are terms and conditions involved. And if people don’t fall under these guidelines, then like any other legal document, they have to follow the contract.”

I mean, seriously. There have got to be around at least 100 people working for Jamie McIntyre, and hundreds if not, thousands of people who promote him. Do you REALLY think that all these people are scam artists who would stand to work in a company if they knew the boss was a crook? I don’t think so. Give your fellow Australian a little more credit than that, since when did we start to view the world through such negative glasses?

And anyway, when you buy a house you sign on the dotted line and are bound by a legal document. The same applies to ANY purchase.  If you meet the criteria outlined in the contract – that you read and signed – you are eligible for the 100% Money Back Guarantee. Sounds simple enough to me…

That pretty much covers it. I mean, you’re always going to see bad press because it benefits other people in some way or another. Different people have different interests. There’s competition and the media make money off bad news -it sells! but despite the scam sites that clearly don’t make any sense in the real world, if you still aren’t convinced that Jamie McIntyre is an honest, hard working person who adds value to our society, then you’ll have convince yourself: Take a look at his free material and YOU be the judge. I expect you have enough intelligence to do that yourself.

Jamie McIntyre’s got Books, audios and DVDs that share his knowledge, not to mention the free scholarship that he is now GIVING AWAY.

Look, the truth to all of this is that no matter who you are, you’re not going to get this far without drawing some attention to yourself. It’s only natural that people will want to either pull you down, or ride off your success. It takes effort to make change, and that’s why so few people ever do. I don’t want to use the terms sour grapes or tall poppy but unfortunately, behind the amazing camaraderie of this country, Tall Poppy Syndrome is alive and flourishing.

At the end of the day Jamie McIntyre is a self-made millionaire, a genuine success story. And he’s is trying to:

“provide a modern day education for life” (21st Century Education’s mission)

He gives regularly to a huge amount of charities and encourages his friends and the members of 21^st Century Education to do the same.

Jamie McIntyre offers full scholarships for his amazing programs and is involved in philanthropic ventures such as Climate Change, World Poverty and the Make a Wish Foundation.

He is highly regarded as:

“The only speaker in Australia that can speak on creating wealth in property, the stock market, business and internet business. Many can specialise in one discipline, but only a true financial master can create wealth from many disciplines.”
Wealth Creator Magazine

“Jamie McIntyre is one of Australia’s most forward thinking educators and a fantastic teacher!”
Dale Beaumont, Creator of the Secrets Exposed Series

“Jamie, just wanted to say thank you for the great 4-day on the Gold Coast. I learn heaps every time I listen to you speak. Also, a huge thank you for putting on the Youth Summit, I went along with my 17 year old son and he is so motivated to get out there and make a better life for himself. You did more to his attitude in a couple of days then I have been able to do in his whole life. His new favourite saying is “live above the line”. Every single 17 year old in Australia, if not the world, should have access to the information you shared. The world would be a much better place…”

Jamie McIntyre’s Biography:

Take this opportunity to meet an Australian who went from well below zero to a self-made millionaire in his twenties by learning to develop the mindset of a millionaire and applying the latest, most exciting financial strategies available in the world today.

Starting 14 years ago, Jamie McIntyre took less than 5 years realise his dream and in the last 8 years has become a world leading educator and success coach. Through his best-selling books and DVD’s, which he allows to be accessed for free, Jamie McIntyre has touched the lives of over 250,000 Australians, New Zealanders and now people worldwide, producing many millionaires in the process and helping thousands retire early with financial security.

Jamie McIntyre actually searched and travelled the world to compile and develop an education for himself, which would have him excel in today’s fast changing world. Because no university existed to teach such a valuable and much needed education, Jamie McIntyre invested over $100,000 within a three year period to access people who had produced outstanding results in different aspects of their lives. He was studying through seminars, personal mentors, interviewing successful people, researching hundreds of books and basically whatever else it took. His research paid off though as Jamie McIntyre’s life completely transformed over a period of three to five years. From being $150,000 in personal debt, he became a self-made millionaire whilst still in his twenties, founding several companies, massively improving his health and importantly his relationships to live his dream life.

Jamie McIntyre was able to model and learn from multi-millionaires, entrepreneurs, investors, even highly acclaimed success

coaches such as Anthony Robbins, world renowned economist and presidential advisor Paul Zane Pilzer, leaders such as General Norman Schwarzkopf of Desert Storm, Marketing Guru Jay Abrahams and World Leading Entrepreneurs such as Richard Branson. After producing outstanding results in many areas of his life,

Jamie McIntyre decided to fulfill a promise he made to one of his personal mentors. This promise was that after successfully applying the knowledge and strategies to his own situation, proving they worked and transforming his own life, he would pass them on to others, you too can become financially free in a surprisingly short time.

This is how 21st Century Group was born, in December 1998, after Jamie McIntyre had achieved many of his desired results. The company has now become a multi-million dollar educational organization, having grown to include 21st Century Academy, 21st Century Eminis, 21st Century Property Direct, 21st Century Education, as well as 21st Century Services

– covering Finance, Investment, Broking, Accountancy and Insurance. Unlike many educational companies, 21st Century Education has a proven track record of graduate success over the last 11 years and is continually striving to ensure its members are receiving the latest proven strategies.
Jamie McIntyre holds a strong belief that no matter where in the world you live, the type of information he learnt has not been made widely available, keeping the majority of the population constrained to a job and almost a slave to the banks, so is passionate about ensuring the average person become financially educated.
