For some time now I have been reading and seeing on various social networks so-called "financial gurus":young guys who claim to have made wealth quickly and now want to help others become rich. I wanted to understand with you how far the truth ends and the scam begins.
NB:I will bring examples that I happened to see,with names and surnames(if it is possible). I absolutely do not intend to advertise these guys,also because I have an idea about them. One of them is a guy named Bastiaan Slot. From what I have seen,he is a 24-year-old guy who until a few years ago was working in a supermarket,then he quit his job,in a very short time he managed to get rich,he made his first million at the age of 22 and now that he is 24 he is a multimillionaire. I have summarized his story very quickly for convenience,but you can read and see it on his Instagram profile or by doing a search on the Internet. Today he has a coaching business that bills in the 7 figures. What impressed me was the speed of his life change,in full Fastlane mode. However,browsing,I had more than one doubt. Browsing his Instagram profile in particular,it is noticeable that the posts in which he has been tagged are exclusively from pages that preach financial education and motivation (all crappy and useless stuff,in my opinion ). There is no newspaper or authoritative site that tags him or talks about him. On Instagram there are many financial gurus preaching with their courses to change your life,and they all talk about the same things,and he is no exception:his posts are all about those topics(like "I learned these lessons in 4 years,I will explain them to you in 30 seconds" etc...). His consulting site is well done,and he professes to have helped hundreds of people.He is also a helper of a particular type of business,which I will explain now:basically it consists of simply responding on social media to posts and setting up sales appointments between two entrepreneurs;for each appointment you get 10% commission. It claims that you can make,immediately, 2k-4k a month. Among those who have taken his coaching course,is a young Italian entrepreneur,whose name I will not mention:he took his course and in less than a year,with online business coaching,he made 150k a month;now he makes 350k a month and his business is worth 4.2 million. This other phantom entrepreneur also has a site where he professes his online coaching business and more importantly he also professes the GDO chatter business, those who make appointments and take 10 % commission. He too has few references,he has videos where his students profess their achievements but they only come from his Youtube channel;he is only tagged on personal motivation pages and MEME PAGES !!! (they do marketing on meme pages !!!)
He also professes to have helped hundreds of people,but if you search for him on the Internet only 8 reviews appear,most of them dubious,and few comments,moreover many from the same people.
However he seems to use the same online coaching model as Bastiaan Slot, which has enabled him to radically change his life.
My question is:are these two guys telling the truth or just a bunch of lies ?

PS:You can see Bastiaan Slot's profile on IG.
