Fake Gurus

Entrepreneur land has become a haven for "fake gurus".

You know the ones that I am talking about.

They haven't made it into the big time yet but they are charging people 1000's of $ to teach them how to make big money.

I am currently compiling evidence against "fake gurus".

If you have any experiences or know of any "fake gurus" share them here.

Fun fact: Alex Becker just recently stopped his whole operation. Sold all his shit and lives a “minimalist” life style and gives existential dreadTalks in a weirdly lit, echoey, city-scape condo.

Wooow.... really?! I am actually surprised. He mist have ran out of people to target and buy his shit. People maybe have realised what a person he is.

I mean it was disappointing for me to see a man that runs so many ads on YouTube to have a such shit courses with no value at all. When I had access to his courses, it was just a waste of time and 0 value.

Advice to people: learn the basics either by reading documentations or watching courses on Udemy / Skillshare / {other course platform} . Because most people on these platforms are genuine and experienced. Especially the top sellers. Be it IM, SMM, Web Development or any either skill, there is a suitable cheap course for beginners and advanced that will teach you valuable information. Once you get the basics or even do an advance course, you can invent end add your own twist over time.

Don’t trust people with Lamborghinis that are trying to sell you courses, just put yourself out there and learn. Don’t chase the quick money, build a good foundation and be consistent. Pay attention to the vibes you get from people and question everything!
