"The Guru Scam: Why Crypto Experts, Career Coaches, and Financial Freedom Gurus Are Selling You Lies"

?

Crypto “Experts”: The Oracle of Your Wallet

Crypto “experts” are a special breed of guru. Armed with buzzwords like “blockchain,” “hodl,” and “to the moon,” they promise to turn you into a Bitcoin billionaire faster than you can say “decentralized finance.”

Reality check: If they were so good at predicting the next crypto explosion, wouldn’t they be too busy buying islands to make TikToks about it?

Instead, they’re charging you $997 for a poorly edited online course explaining concepts they learned from other gurus on Reddit.

Clue They’re a Fraud: Their main source of income isn’t crypto—it’s selling you crypto advice.

Sales Trainers: The Masters of Manipulation

Ah, the sales trainer. With their oversized whiteboards, relentless energy, and slightly terrifying intensity, they’ll tell you they can teach you how to “close any deal” and “crush your competition.”

Here’s a thought: If they’re so great at sales, why are they spending all their time selling courses instead of closing those mythical deals they keep bragging about?

Shouldn’t they be out there, dominating the market, instead of yelling “ABC: Always Be Closing” into a cheap microphone at a conference centre?

Clue They’re a Fraud: Their biggest sale is convincing you they’re a sales expert.

?

Career Coaches: The Pathfinders to Nowhere

Career coaches love to tell you how to “pivot,” “manifest your goals,” and “unlock your potential.” They’ve mastered the art of sounding insightful while saying absolutely nothing.

If they really knew how to climb the corporate ladder, why aren’t they CEO of anything other than their own LinkedIn profile? And if they’re so good at finding dream jobs, why is theirs so shite?

Clue They’re a Fraud: Their “success stories” are as vague as their advice.

Property Moguls: Lords of the Airbnb Empire

These guys promise to teach you how to buy 47 rental properties with zero money down, retire at 30, and spend the rest of your life posting photos of you “working” on a laptop by the pool.

But think about it: If their methods worked, wouldn’t they be too busy collecting rent checks and hiring pool boys to teach you their secrets?

And let’s not forget their favourite trick, selling tickets to their own seminars. Which, unsurprisingly, is how they actually make their money.

Clue They’re a Fraud: They’re more interested in flipping seminar tickets than flipping houses.

Financial Freedom Gurus: The Kings and Queens of "Passive Income"

The financial freedom guru is the ultimate charlatan. They claim to have cracked the code to passive income, earning millions while doing absolutely nothing. Except, wait, they are doing something, they’re selling you overpriced tickets to their webinar.

If they’ve truly achieved financial freedom, why are they wasting time trying to convince you to follow their method? Wouldn’t they be sipping margaritas on a private yacht instead of hustling on Zoom calls?

Clue They’re a Fraud: Their “passive income” strategy is actively scamming you.

?

Why Are They Selling, Not Doing?

Here’s the real kicker: If any of these gurus were as good as they claim, they wouldn’t need your money. Why settle for tens of thousands from ticket sales or online courses when they could be making millions actually doing what they teach?

The answer is simple: It’s easier to sell the dream of success than to achieve it. Teaching others is their real hustle, and you’re the product.

How to Spot the Fraudulent Guru

Unverifiable Claims: “I made $1 million in six months!” Great, prove it. (Spoiler: they won’t.)

Flashy Lifestyle: Those Lambos? Rented. The mansion? Airbnb. The designer watch? Bought with your course fee.

Constant Selling: If they’re spending more time promoting their method than using it, that’s a red flag.

Vague Advice: “Follow your passion” and “leverage your network” sound nice but mean absolutely nothing.

?

Final Thoughts: Save Your Money

In the end, the only people getting rich from these “experts” are the experts themselves, off of your hard-earned cash.

So before you fork over $1,000 for a course, seminar, or coaching session, ask yourself: If their methods are so great, why are they spending all their time convincing you to buy them?

Here’s a free piece of advice, straight from the heart: Invest in yourself, not in someone else’s fake lifestyle.

And if you really want financial freedom, start by saving money on guru courses.

You’re welcome.

I am considering making a course to teach people how to avoid this. Could be a decent money maker....
