Before I get into the title of this forum I'm going to explain my background so that this topic of discussion makes sense. I started an agency during this whole internet money era with gurus like Jordan Welch, Iman Gadzi, Biaheza, etc (I'll get into them later). By the end of my 18 months since starting my editing agency I hit $10,000 in MRR. I decided to take an organic move as I was pretty broke during the time so I started advertising through people on insta and twitter using softwares like IgLeadGen and Apollo to get the leads. Today as I was reading my emails I got an email from Iman Gadzi’s newspaper that once again was one of the “This is your last chance to get rich” and this brings me to my point.
Iman Gadzi started from nothing and grew his audience through documenting his own hustle. I respected him for this alot and will give him my kudos to him for helping motivate me alongside other gurus to start my agency. But since 2022-2023 his only goal has been to monetize his audience. He's been making a bunch of shit brands and companies to squeeze money out of his audience. An example of this is his Gadzi Glasses,Big Day Drink, Educate, etc. I just think that this is such a scummy move as he's no longer selling or giving the blueprint to success to his audience but instead is selling a dream which his followers will never be able to reach and all for his benefit. Which is by Fuck these Internet Gurus. Do you guys fell the same way or am I just rambling?

You see them as gurus who sold out. This is incorrect.
These are complete sell-outs, who only became “gurus” once enough people started drinking their kool-aid.
90% of these gurus give watered down advice designed to sound good to the ear but give no results due to lack of detail and nuance.
In general the rule of thumb when it comes to gurus is if their videos are 30+ minutes long – they’re good. And not just one video, i’m talking most of them.
Free advice is the best advice honestly. I tried many gurus too tbh its a waste of time and i regretted it
you either die a hero or become the villian
I like watching the younger generations wake up to the world. Welcome to reality OP.
Most people feel the same way and I disagree strongly. Take the lessons they’re showing not saying. Read in between the lines. These people are successful for a reason. Stop hating and grow.
All those words just to mention your software and try to get interest. Stop shilling.
They are liars
Bro these aren’t people who “sold out”. They were nothing from the start. Their wealth _mostly_ comes from the guru shit. Why do people still buy into their crap
People hate a lot on these guys but I’ve learned a great deal from these “gurus”:
1. Naval Ravikant
2. Alex Hormozi
3. Tim Ferriss
4. Luke Charlton
5. Joel Erway
6. Russell Brunson
7. Tony Robbins
8. Dave Ramsey
9. Dan Henry
10. Juliet Tang
11. Scott Oldford
12. John Demartini
13. Dane Tomas
Do some of these people have shadows, flaws, and blindspots?
Absolutely.
Is it still possible to learn a ton from them and let go of what doesn’t resonate?
Absolutely.
Jordan Welch $1 dollar pdf scam got me
Stick to the real ones. Frisella. Hormozi. Tony Robbins. Dont listen to 99% of the people in their 20s
Its the same as elections. The person utilizes psychology and as long as people drink kool-aid they will succeed as they dont have ethical considerations. So as long as the machine runs they make money.
