🟡 Once Called Them Scams

Friend,

A year ago, I thought all online mentors were scams.

You probably know the feeling:

Another guru promising quick riches.

Another course claiming to change everything.

Another "foolproof system" that feels too good to be true.

I get it.

Because before building a 17k/month business, I was that skeptical student.

Rolling my eyes at course ads.

Calling everyone a scammer.

Trying to figure it all out alone.

Then reality hit:

3 months left in school.

9-5 life closing in.

Something had to change.

I took every dollar I'd saved and invested in my first mentor. (Not something I'd typically recommend, but I was desperate)

That decision changed everything.

Today, I've invested over $20k in courses, mentors, and communities.

Each investment carefully chosen using this checklist:

Does this person have what I want? Not just the results - but the specific path I want to take. Anyone can get lucky once. Look for someone who's built what you want to build, the way you want to build it.

Have they helped others like me? Results should be repeatable. One success story might be luck. Multiple students winning? That's a system that works.

Do they actually do what they teach? Too many teach theory. An example is all the gurus telling you to go faceless whilst showing their face. Find someone actively using the strategies they teach, that is how you know it is as good as they say.

The way to hit your goals fast is to invest in yourself.

Am I biased for saying that? Probably.

But it's also the truth...

Because if you accept that it's about knowledge, you'll also realize how much it's costing you to not know what you don't know.

Now I'm not gonna end this off by pitching you some $997 thing.

I'm not like that.
