Why 90% of Online 'Success Gurus' Are Selling You a Lie
Why 90% of Online 'Success Gurus' Are Selling You a Lie
Let’s get one thing straight:
Most “success” you see online is as real as a ₹2000 note in Monopoly.
You’ve seen them — the guy in a rented Lamborghini, the girl on a Bali beach, both screaming about “financial freedom” while selling you a course that costs more than your rent.
Here’s the brutal truth no one tells you:
90% of these so-called mentors are just professional marketers, not actual success stories.
πΈ 1. The ‘Fake it Till You Sell it’ Game
Most of them start by borrowing a lifestyle for one photoshoot.
-
Rent luxury cars → Post pics.
-
Airbnb a mansion → Pretend it’s theirs.
-
Stand in front of someone else’s yacht → Call it “their empire.”
The photos are bait. The real business? Selling you the dream.
π 2. If They Were That Rich…
Ask yourself: If someone really made ₹50 lakh a month, would they be sliding into your DMs to sell a ₹5,000 course?
Nope.
They’d be too busy making actual money.
The truth: Courses and coaching calls are their main income. The “method” they sell? Rarely works.
π§ 3. The Psychological Trap
-
They use scarcity: “Only 5 spots left!” (They have infinite spots.)
-
They use social proof: “Look at my student who made ₹1 lakh in 2 days!” (No proof shown.)
-
They use FOMO: “Start now or regret forever!”
This isn’t mentorship. It’s manipulation.
π 4. The 3-Stage Scam Pattern
-
Build fake luxury brand online
-
Gain followers via ads, giveaways, and clickbait
-
Sell high-margin info products that “guarantee” success
Rinse. Repeat. Profit.
π 5. The Real Winners
Ironically, the only people making money in these guru ecosystems are… the gurus themselves.
You become their customer, not their peer.
π‘ How to Spot a Fake Guru
✅ They flaunt lifestyle more than skills
✅ They never give away real actionable tips for free
✅ Their income comes from selling how to make money, not from doing it
✅ Their success stories are vague, unverified, and too perfect
❗ Teekha Tiwari Take
If the road to success really was “just follow my 3 steps,” everyone would be rich.
So next time you see a “guru” flaunting success, remember:
They’re not showing you the ladder they climbed. They’re selling you a ladder with missing rungs.
