In my opinion, property gurus rely on people not applying logical thinking to a word they say.
One thing that really infuriates me is how they continually belittle anyone who has a job, even though they themselves have a job teaching others to be just like them. Let's be clear, a job is exchanging time for money, which is what they do in their teaching businesses.
Some recent examples on social media:
A picture of a property guru on a beach on a weekday asking where everyone else was and belittling those that had to work.
A video with a property guru saying how you would learn more from a billionaire in an hour than you would learn at University in 3 years.
My question is this:
Who looks after their sick parent in hospital?
Who takes away their rubbish and re-cycling each week?
Who teaches their children at school?
Who mans the ambulance that comes to their house when a member of their family is sick?
Who flies and maintainsthe plane to take them on holiday?
Who treats their sick family pet?
Society is made up of wonderful and committed people who are in service to others and help keep things running.
During a visit to the NASA Space Centre in 1962, President Kennedy noticed a janitor carrying a broom. He interrupted his tour, walked over to the man and said: “Hi, I'm Jack Kennedy, what are you doing?” The janitor responded: “I'm helping put a man on the moon, Mr President.” I just absolutely love that quote!
Every person can play an important role and no one is more important than any other person based on their wealth or success, because everyone needs a support team.
This is something to be admired, not put down. Many people - doctors, nurses, vets, reporters, scientists etc - have a vocation, and are not motivated by money. They are rich in integrity, fulfilment, and contentment. Society needs people like this.
If everyone were motivated solely by money, then society would break down.
I of course hope that everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential and I support that. People are motivated by different things, and it's not always money or fame or adoration.
Furthermore, not everyone has the circ*mstances or ability to become financially free, and they rely on employment. Not everyone has the character traits to become wealthy, which could involve unscrupulous behaviour or treading on other people to lift yourself up.
Talking of character traits, if you look at wealth creation experts, many of them have the same character traits of narcissim and grandiousity. It's my opinion that some even exhibit psychopathic tendancies. This gives them an unshakeable sense ouf their own importance and a hugely inflated sense of their own abilities and importance.
This is why they create egosystems to make sure their ego is catered to 24 hours a day and their marketing funnel is the entry point into their egosystem:
Egosystems are very dangerous and unhealthy places where all types of loss will inevtiably take place.
These character traits allow them to manipulate others, decieve, and exploit without any sense of remorse. I believe this makes them a danger to consumers and they can spread their doctrine very wide with the massive reach of social media and there is nothing to stop them.
Interestingly, the recent Titan submersible tradegy has highlighted how dangerous these character traits can be - they can cause death - literally.
Stockton Rush, CEO of Ocean Gate, had the same character traits as many property gurus. He felt he was above law (via safety standards), he took short cuts, he poo-poohed critcal thinking, he had a massive ego, he sought attention and fame, he surrounded himself with "yes" people and sacked anyone who challenged him, and he was reckless. He believed he and his sub were invincible.
Ocean Gate was the perfect example ofan ego-system and 5 people lost their lives because of it.
Taking it one stage further, the Titan submersible itself was an ego-system in miniature. Could you rely on someone with those character traits - with so much to lose - including "face" - to make the right decisions to pilot the sub out of trouble or to call off a mission if there were warning signs?!
Stockton Rush also claimed false connections with Boeing and NASA to give false credibility and social proof.
As an aside, but also related to guru behaviour, according to someone who went on a Titan dive, Stockton Rush also offered discounted tickets to exceedingly wealthy people and then proceeded to try to groom them to invest in Ocean Gate. He lured them into his ego-system for his own ends.
I think these kind of people actually affect people's mental health, making them feel inadequate, making them lose hope, promising them false outcomes, and creating general feelings of discontent, including alienating them from their friends and family who try to warn them. Alongside losing significant sums of money, the negative impact can be huge.
These guru ecosystems suck money out of people at an incredible rate and there are few routes of redress. No wonder gurus can afford high value cars, holidays, lawyers, and houses when they take advantage of a naive people.
Sorry to go on about it, but in recent weeks we've seen these behaviours really ramping up a gear and I find it very concerning, especially as people are becoming more desperate due to the cost-of-living crisis.
Gurus have set their money hoovers to "maximum" to take advantage of other people's distress and naiveity.
For 20 years we've observed a similar pattern of method: They are busy trailing up and down the country in hotels running events, producing podcasts, producing videos, staging marketing stunts, using their kids for marketing, flashing their lavish lifestyle, and generally working every hour possible to keep the marketing funnel topped up. Nice work/job if you can stomach it!
Apply the Ocean Gate tradegy to the wealth creation industry and you should be concerned as I am.
