In my experience as a business coach, most entrepreneurs are creative people. Social media is really fun and creative. It’s also safe, because you don’t really have to interact with people in meaningful ways. People love the idea of having a big following that buys just because you are entertaining.

You know what isn’t fun and creative? Sales. Networking. Following up on emails. The things that actually get people to buy. I have tried and tried to get people to learn sales and cannot get much interest.

Instead, people want to learn how to make stuff. My most popular webinar is “Get started making helpful videos.”

There is a significant distinction between course creators and industry professionals. While course creators can be valuable sources of information, their expertise is often based on theoretical knowledge and secondhand experience. On the other hand, industry professionals possess in-depth, practical knowledge gained through years of direct hands-on experience in their respective fields.

Course creators often market themselves as experts on ClickBank, JVZoo, or similar platforms, but their knowledge is often readily available through online resources, including search engines and AI chatbots. Industry professionals, on the other hand, have established reputations and verifiable credentials, making their insights more valuable and trustworthy.

When seeking guidance or mentorship, it is crucial to prioritize expertise gained through practical experience. Industry professionals, with their deep understanding of real-world challenges and solutions, can provide invaluable insights and guidance that can set you on the path to success.

That’s because nobody teaches that anywhere for real.

Perspectie of the people, like me, who spent 3/4 of their life in a corporate machine+schooling system, is that even tho I really want to, I don’t even know how to do the first step. Where to start. Zero. Nothing. Stuck in the matrix.
Look for info “on the web”? ok, who’s telling the truth? who’s a scammer?
Easy to judge if you have experience, your own or passed from your parents for example…
For me? Not so much. Had neither, was raised in a communist country. Lived a corporate life. GG.

Some people sell products.

Some people sell services.

Some people sell dreams.

Cause it works. Lots of dumb people buy those course.

It makes money. People jump on personal and business finance topics in general, it’s a niche that makes serious side money on YouTube or blogging if you take off.

Did you heard something like, 50$ in australia, fakbro, panza panza panza?

I can say for a fact that many people that successfully figure something out that’s valuable see courses as another income stream. That’s what entrepreneurs do. The product sells itself. A lot of these courses also offer a mentorship feature which can change someone’s life. There’s plenty of value in some of these courses. There’s nothing fake about that.

Those who can’t do, teach.

The financial market is one of the best markets, always growing and with a good starving crowd (everyone wants to be rich, right). That attracts lots of people, the problem is that the vast majority of them don’t really know what they are doing, they are just trying to get rich themselves, not necessarily wanting to add value to others.

they wanna get rich telling you how to get rich

Someone said that you should give away your best stuff for free and once that happens, people will ask you for your page stuff because they want more. The fake gurus are using marketing tactics to get you to buy the products. There are a few out there that legitimately know what they’re doing and they’re making a business out of their knowledge, which to me is the right thing to do and ethical.

You just have to find them.

Lots of people want to “get rich quick” and with minimum effort, so these fake gurus sell the dream via their courses etc.

People who sell “how to get rich doing x” instead of actually doing x <<<

Well to be honest the principles of entrepreneurship are pretty easy. It’s the execution that’s killer.
