“I love everything about the Castle experience, the one year mentoring through conference call, and most of all I love how Dan cares about the success of his mentees.”
“Year-long seminar mentor program was really great at helping me understand and deepen some of the knowledge acquired at the Castle. It was really comforting to know that you have someone out-there to rely on for unbiased, no BS advise and point of view. It was very useful for pushing me along and giving me an emotional jolt from time to time…”
“Monthly con calls were the best at keeping me in line and motivated. I just love Mr. Pena’s RAW and no BS attitude. He always prides himself with giving someone a beating, I just call it the truth.”
“Overall the year-long seminar mentor program is awesome for increasing ones chances of success. The more I kept in touch with Mr. Pena in one form or another, the better off I was. The time spent together was far more important than the method of keeping in touch.”
“Started with the mentee program in 2010 Oktober!
Had one company (lets call it company 1) with a revenue about 1 Million Euro!
Now we write the year 2013:
Increased revenue to 3,5 Million for this company 1.”
“The businesses each of the participants comes from are so varied and, on top of it, Mr. Pena’s business and life experience is so vast, that you can almost mentally create a clear picture of the worldwide business life. Mr. Pena is a macro-thinker!”
“These monthly conf calls are super important to me, not because they remind me of being at the castle, but because they remind me of the things that I need to do more of. As you know, we all have MANY years of wrong, fearful mental conditioning, especially when it comes to business. The more I get a dose of you, the better off I feel I will be, that’s the bottom line. Even if it’s only once a month, that kick in the butt can last a while and make a huge difference.”

“I was searching for years, but he is the only person I could find in the world who is able and willing to pass over his professional leadership skills, his tons of knowledge of the real (and hard) high performance business world, and much much more directly, intensively and unforgettable to his mentees, because – I think – he wants to enable you to be all you can be and to succeed.”
“The greatest benefit that I received from the QLA seminar is my mentor relationship with Dan. Dan is like a Zen teacher – if I lose focus he gives me a good beating and says "Wake up!". I’m only sorry for 1 thing – that I didn’t write him often enough during my 1 year of personal support, that I spoke to him only twice on the phone, and that the 12 conference calls are over. I wish I could talk to him via internet video software like Google hangouts once a month. 1 minute of video chat with Dan is worth 1000 emails, and 1 minute of meeting him in person is worth 1000 minutes of video chat! Fortunately, Dan has agreed to keep mentoring me after the 1 year was over! He still replies to my emails on an almost daily basis!
“You’ll learn how to play to win. Instead of sitting back figuring out how not to lose and stay safe, you’ll discover how to perform when you are so far outside your comfort zone that most people would wither with fear.”
“Going away from the call [with Dan], I feel more energized. Watching and hearing you drill the points is a great part of being mentored…I think the weekly reports are very powerful for holding oneself accountable.”
“The weekly reports and con Calls was very important 4 me, not only to "keep me on track" but also to integrate what was taught at QLA to a much deeper degree. Also the couple of phone Calls With Dan was useful for direction.”
“Writing those reports have also forced me to take stock of things in my life, of what’s helpful and what’s not, of my priorities and of the constraints I put on myself and my aspirations. This process in itself is revealing – and sometimes painful as well, as I am forced to ask myself some really hard questions. This process forces me to take away the blinkers – so to speak. And if I continue with what appears to be the status quo – at least I’m doing it with a greater degree of awareness and at least I’m doing it on my terms more than I have been able to do.”
“Thank you Dan. I know that if I avail myself of all the other "interventions" – they’ll probably be very very helpful. Getting there – work in progress…”

Since starting the QLA program and having Dan as my business mentor, I've been able to buy into several multi-million dollar businesses. QLA methodologies are a proven set of business precepts and principles applicable world-wide that have enabled me, someone that had absolutely no money or business experience to start with and achieve business success! I've found following the QLA program to have endless benefits… including personal, professional and business growth far beyond my own expectations and more importantly, what other people's expectations were for me! The QLA program is a step-by-step system and very practical way, yet non-conventional, to acquire and build businesses in the real world of business. The QLA program has allowed me to start building true wealth and net worth in my lifetime that normally would take someone several generations to build on a conventional basis! For anyone that is seeking true success in business and in life… and is willing to be committed and truthful with themselves, the QLA program represents a proven system of time-tested, legal, moral and ethical business precepts and principles that can turn one's dreams into realities! And lastly, being that all people are different, with different aptitudes, strengths, weaknesses, etc… and being that all businesses have inherent differences depending on the industry… Dan Pena, the founding father of the QLA program, is committed to mentoring those that are committed to adapting QLA to themselves and using QLA to build their businesses…for as long as it may take! I'm living proof that Dan never gives up on an individual that is committed to continually learning, internalizing, adapting and implementing QLA methodologies to build and consolidate businesses in their chosen industry… as it took me many years… during which time, Dan never gave up on me as he always knew success was just around the corner! He was absolutely right! Thank you Dan! You and the QLA program are with out a doubt… filling very real and true gap that exists between academics in the world today… even at the highest levels… and the real world of building successful businesses and wealth in all civilized business arenas that exist in the world today!

"Dan, We have just (yesterday) completed our first acquisition. We have followed the system (QLA) and will continue to do so. Next month we have somewhere in the region of thirty interviews with financial institutions. We identified a very fragmented industry. Friday's deal, £700,000 T/O, debt free and ten years established, completed with the owner accepting stage payments over 18 months. Sincere thanks to you. Kind regards"

“Thank you for a 'Down to Earth', No Bullshit – wake up call! You have added fuel to my fire – I'm now an inferno. I left London at 6:30 on Thursday and by 12:30 the same day I had made 10 changes to the business. The very next day I met up with my hardest prospect, sat down with them, took charge and closed a 200K deal. You have made me realise that I was becoming far too 'touchy-feely' and motivational, which has a place, but I needed to be concentrating on the numbers and pushing my troops out of their comfort zones…DAILY!!!! I hope that one day our paths will meet again."
