I think he's done really well between sales of his books, speaking fees, and teaching one-day courses. His one-day courses alone net 6-figure revenues each time they're taught: fee of $380, audience of about 350 people. Even if less than half that is profit, it seems like he can pull in upwards of $50k from teaching a single-day course.
