"7 secrets to go from 0 to 10 million become entrepreneur!!!!"
"my journey from 0 dollars to 100k a month!!!"
-"I had this business ..."
-find your niche/market
-dont give up
-use ai tools !!
-also buy my course where I explain all the secrets in detail

is it even worth listening to them anymore or at all ? They give the most generic advice possible the funny part is if they were successful entrepreneurs they wouldn't need to be doing this 24/7 they are some genuine ones that appear on podcasts but its hard to tell these days, "those that can't do teach".

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.”
