Wright Thurston also offers mentoring courses from $2,000 for two or three days. He refers to them as Millionaire's Retreats. Such mentoring sessions are at some exotic locales like Orlando, Las Vegas, Hawaii, and Canada. Mentor is not necessarily Wright himself but some other expert on wealth-building techniques. However, he does not provide any accommodation at these places, only lunch and coffee.

Wright Thurston is popular for his excellent speeches and educational techniques. He ranks among the few people who could build a million dollar empire in each of his four different businesses. These four different categories are real estate while working with IBM, his own real estate business, in direct marketing to consumers and as a professional speaker and consultant.
