There are few things that get me going like multi-level marketers, “success coaches” and generally those who prey on the hopes of massive wealthy by those in this world least able to afford expensive programs that teach nothing but prolonged servitude.

The problem with these types of individuals

Not sure where to start but here is my run-down of why these type of people are not only a complete waste of time, but detrimental to your personal success in life.

Shifting the Power Balance

Let’s say you get yourself a success coach and you begin to see some changes in your life as a result, is it due to the success coach or yourself? The reason why I ask is that as soon as you find your “fortress of me”, you no longer need these people. They are like the Weight Watchers of the “success industry”, they tell you just enough to see things improve but don’t tell you everything because, to be quite frank, they need a job at the end of the day. Work on yourself, within yourself and onto yourself and success will come… give this inner power to somebody else to manage and you will always have this noose around your neck of which there is no escape. If you haven’t found this power within you yet… don’t give somebody else the remote control to your life when you are most vulnerable, that will simply create dependence instead of independence.

Waste of Money

These “success coaches” are like the psychics of the 21st century, they can promise absolutely nothing and it will forever be YOUR fault of you do not succeed. What? You didn’t double your income in 90 days or experience the extreme success that their tapes, CDs and books promised you? Well, hey, it isn’t their fault… it’s yours… and they are laughing all the way to the bank. They are in the business of making themselves money, NOT you. If you make money, it’s because you always had it in you, it would have happened without the “success coach”… believe in yourself, save your money, invest into your future and you will be far wealthier and happier. These guys aren’t cheap neither, you can easily spend a thousand dollars within a few months and having nothing more to show for it then a smaller bank account. Ask yourself, why do they all seem “so rich” with huge mansions, yachts and exotic cars? Well, get a few clients paying you a few thousand to teach them “success” and you too can seem successful. These guys are slicker then a used car salesmen of a bygone era… be EXTREMELY cautious.

The industry of “coached wealth and success”

Let’s say your life sucks, you have a job you hate, in debt and many broken relationships… the last thing you need is somebody to motivate you out of your rut. I believe you MUST hit bottom to realize, in the end, how lucky you are and dig your own ass out of the pit you created for yourself. There is an entire industry geared towards making money off your depraved situation, like obese people in the weight loss industry, there is an endless cycle of dependence where one profits off the others continual demise. Don’t get sucked into the hype and promises and you will be fine, otherwise, you will become a statistic.

Nobody cares about you but yourself

I have stated this several times throughout this blog, nobody cares as much about YOU as, well, YOU! If a success coach comes to you offering their services, tell them you have no money and that you where wondering if they could work on you for free. If they say yes, that means, free… meaning they give you the tapes, they phone you weekly to see how you are achieving your milestones… my bet is they will think of some excuse as to why this isn’t possible after a few weeks (if they last that long). If you can’t be bothered to invest in yourself both physically and emotionally, don’t expect paying money to make this happen will provide any better results.

Multi-Level Marketers

If you thought success coaches where scary, I hope you haven’t bumped into multi-level marketers… these guys come from deep under rocks selling you worthless products at “steep discounts” that aren’t worth the ink their contracts are printed on. These are the likes of HerbalLife, Mannatech and AMWAY… they are like flies at many real business networking events, trying to catch their next big fish. If somebody ever approaches you with a “home based” opportunity, please do yourself a favor and run the hell out of their sight. They are what nightmares are made of.

The Bottom Line

If somebody promises you the world, show them the door.
