I was on YouTube when I came across one of my favorite financial guru's interviews. I was interested in the interview so I watched it for quite some time, in the interview the financial guru admitted he did some of the things he said we should not do in his books. He doesn’t apply everything he preaches. I was surprised and I had to rewatch it because at first, I thought maybe it was the work of AI, I realized that it was a real interview and this man just doesn’t do things that they preach.
Recently, I’ve been studying a lot of financial gurus, and I realize that most of them don’t do what they sell. If you listen to them closely, you will understand that they are not doing what they are saying. It is all lies and it is easy for you to detect those lies in their interview because They used to say more of the truth in their interviews, which doesn’t align with their books. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that books are not good because books can save you years but not all financial books Tell the truth.
They get rich differently
Sometimes we forget that books are also products. When some of these companies realize that you have a good story to tell they will come to you and offer you a deal but they don’t confirm if what you are saying is true or not. They just want to make money, especially for financial books. Most of these people get their money from selling books and not from the ideas that they are selling. Some of the books sold millions of copies. The sales set them free for life and if you follow up with some of these authors, you realize that they are not doing what they preach.
They will tell you to follow a pattern and make money in a certain way. Some of these paths are outdated and it is now very difficult to follow those patterns because the economy has changed and the world is also changing. Most of these guru tells us to do the same thing and in the process hide their true source of income.  Their true source of income is their books and each time they come up with different narratives just to sell their books to us. But it must stop us from buying books.
One book can save you a decade of struggle
Books are very good and not all those books are for the sake of profit. Some authors tell you their stories and give you a practical idea of how you can avoid their mistakes. You just have to keep reading and keep trying things out and choose the one that works for you, but you don’t have to be surprised when you find out that some of these authors don’t preach what they do they are just trying to sell their products to you. I believe there’s no knowledge is lost and it is nothing personal.
Thanks for your time.
