Many “boot camp” and coaching programs charge thousands of dollars for information you could buy at a bookstore for less than $100. This is particularly true for the big name gurus because their marketing prowess and media exposure creates an implied endorsement and high perceived value for their services. This lowers the natural skepticism of buye...

You should be very suspicious of any coaching and mentoring service that does not cl...

Unfortunately, aggressive marketers seek to exploit the human frailty of wanting to believe there are secrets only the rich understandthat explain why they have no money, but the rich do. The fact is most everything you nee...
Building wealth is hard work, takes time, and requires financial prudence. Dream merchants want you to believe it's quick and easy and requires little or no effort. Beware of marketers touting private jets and lavish yachts to show the more/better/different lifestyle you can enjoy when you learn their “insider secrets”. This isn’t selling education...
Legitimate testimonialsshould be written by the actual person and provide their full name and city location. Beware of testimonials that sound like they were written by one (the same) person, or provide outlandish claims of superhuman success. This includes video and audio testimonials that appear legitimate on the surface, but could easily be fake...

Unfortunately, marketing companies don’t play fair and use a strategy of “progressive commitment” to separate you from your money. Here’s how it works: 1. You're sold on a free or low...
Dec 7, 2020 · I decided that "life coaching" was bollocks when the woman who worked in my local convenience store told me that she was a qualified life coach. I was tempted to ask why she didn't coach herself into a job a bit better than earning min wage in a corner shop.
