Don’t Fall for Fake Gurus – How To Avoid Them & Why

This week’s edition of FreedomFriday™ is sponsored by…Me! 

I’m creating a course right now called 🌿 The LinkedIn Leverage: Your First 5K Followers in 5.5 Weeks, and I want to share it with YOU, my true first fans, for FREE (It will be $49.99 once this promotion is over).

This is my way of paying it forward because you supported me when I had nothing…

BUT…once I hit 6K (ETA: ~1 week away), this promotion will be finished!

So if you’re interested in getting on the waitlist, please register your interest NOW before it’s too late…

Tiktok, Instagram, Linkedin. 

Everyone is selling a dream. 

But…

Most have not achieved it. 

They try it themselves, realise they can’t do it, then “teach” others instead. 

Think about the Gold Rush. Who made the most money?

Pick and shovel vendors…

Unlike those fake gurus, I’ve actually achieved freedom. 

I have a 100,000 word book on the exact steps I personally took to go from a drug addict at 21, to financial, physical, mental and spiritual freedom by 27, coming out early next year. It’s called “The 4 Pillars of Freedom”. 

You just can’t make that sh*t up. 

But a 30 second Tiktok video showing how to “get rich quick”?

It’s way too easy to bs. 

So, how do you spot them? 

These fake gurus often have huge unrealistic numbers without showing you anything valuable.

They go from making “$1000” in month 1, to “$10,000” in month 2, and “$100,000” in month 3. 

For example:

Unless you’re scamming people at scale, this is simply absurd. 

And the info they give you in these videos?

It’s always all surface level emotional hooks with 100% of the “value” gate kept behind a “course” they copied from a guru that they learnt it from. 

Don’t fall for this trap.

Be smart. 

Follow guys like Justin Welsh and Dan Koe who provide the blueprints in their content, because they ACTUALLY did it.

They spent half a decade in the trenches to figure it all out for themselves. You can’t hide real followers, real engagements, and real value. 

For me, in my first 5 weeks of LinkedIn I gained 5,000 followers, made $5K profit, and was given “Top Social Media Voice” for a reason. 

I got here by providing non-stop genuine value, and simplified content sourced directly from my decade of experience across Solopreneurship, Social Media and Brand Marketing. 

Want to succeed like us? 

Observe what we DO, not just what we SAY, and then mimic our process. 

Our courses?

They are just a concise summary of what we already do because we are building in public. 

It’s simply saving you the time of doing the research, and making all our mistakes, and essentially allowing you to “time travel”, as I like to call it.  

So…

Don’t fall for the fakes.

And of course, please don’t become one. 

Your One-Man Brand needs to be true to your purpose in life.

And that purpose is not to lie to thousands of people to make a quick buck. 

That’s not real impact. That’s not real value. 

Your role is greater than that. 

One person can change the world for the better. 

And that one person is you. 

See you next Friday 👋
