The 2 dumbest things Dave Buck ever did at Coachville

Let's go back in time folks and pull up something from the past that was about the stupidest thing Dave Buck did. Now I'm not really bashing him right now. BUT WHAT WAS HE THINKING! About 2-3 years after he got Coachville things seemed ok. But then there was this email that he sent to the members which asked for a $49 donation to 'show your support' of Coachville. What's up with that?
What do we get for that, Dave? Didn't we pay enough to you at $1795 for a lifetime membership? Or wasn't $4495 enough? You have to have more? Where did all that money go, Dave?

He never mentioned in the state of the Ville that Coachville was in financial trouble. And begging to the coach members to 'send in money'. Why didn't he just do a fund raiser or telethon for Coachville and tell us WHAT REALLY WAS UP at the Ville? Nope. He had to beg for money. There goes any credability he had right out the window. I lost all respect for the man when he did that. But wait! There's more.

Do you recall about a year after the begging for money thing when Dave Buck send out a recommendation for some book that a friend of his was promoting? He again emailed the whole Coachville membership about it. OK,... so what's the big deal? Glad you asked. If you know anything about affiliate links, good 'ole Dave put an affiliate link in his email that sent you to his friend's product! Did he mention he was going to get kickbacks from that referral? No. Now there's a sneaky way to make money! Sleazy too. I guess since he's not coaching anymore (his website is non-existant) he needs some kind of income.

Again Dave Buck has proven how honest he is about the financial dealings of Coachville and also about exploiting the membership email list. Talk about spamming the members and making money off them at the same time. Thanks a lot Dave.
