Haroldsen used to hold an annual convention in January in Orlando Florida until a few years ago, with several noted Guru speakers on all subjects. It drew from all over the U.S., with a large crowd, not only due to the notoriety of the multitude of speakers and workshop holders, but to the motivational success of Haroldsen, himself, as well as the location where he held it in Mouse City, and the time of year for snowbirds descent One of those speakers who really got his start as a known Guru there was Ron LeGrand. Legrand ended up taking over the yearly conference from Haroldsen, who it seems went more or less into semi retirement. LeGrand built it into his yearly January Success Development International (SDI) convention, has moved it aroung a bit and renamed it and even expanded it. Is Haroldsen active at all? We don’t know for sure, but haven’t heard of him lately. Has anyone?

Sometimes we read books that change our lives. “How To Wake Up The Financial Genius Inside You” by Mark O. Haroldsen was one of those books for me. It changed the way I looked at money, at financial freedom, at success, at myself. It made me realize that I could, in fact, attain financial freedom. I don’t believe Mark O. dealt with systems and the like so much as creating a mindset in the reader. He started a magazine, “Financial Freedom Report” where other, very astute real estate investors (sometimes called gurus) imparted knowledge and Mark O. sold their products. Mike, I too would like to know what happened to Mark O.
In “Financial Genius,” Mark O. recommended another book that I would class as one of the best books of all time, “The Richest Man In Babylon” by George S. Clason. I re-read that one at least once a year. I have given a copy of it to each of my children and hope they read it and benefit from it. Now there are grandchildren and each of them will get a copy of “The Richest Man In Babylon” as well.
Anyway, Mike, if you ever find out what happened to Mark O., please let me know.

I certainly agree with your comments about his books and I enjoyed his FFR for as long as it lasted. I hadn’t heard of him for several years and then last year he bought an older & vacant office building in Wichita (!), rehabbed it, rebranded it and is currently leasing it through a local realtor. So…maybe he’s into commercial these days. Hope this helps. Ron.

Mark has millions in property and notes. He was in retirement and the companies that had problems were run by other people. He came out of retirement to try to turn them around, but it was too late.

Just read your comments after doing a broad search on the net for Mark Haroldsen. I too read Financial Genius when I was young - 19 or 20 - and now that I’m 40, I’ve picked it up and re-read it. I too am making the committment to make it in real estate after having had my own chiropractic practice for 11 years and selling it 2 months ago to pursue what has been a dream of mine ever since I read the book. Good luck to you

Not that I know of. I do see some of their materials on eBay auctions for dirt cheap. A while back there was a collection of back issues available there.
