If you’re just starting your entrepreneurial journey, you have to know THIS.

I have to be honest with you, I have just about had it up to here with all of the ads I see for this course and that course, promising they’re going to show you what you need to be successful. Whatever “expert” has found some form of success and swear they’re going to give you all their secrets and you’re going to be able to achieve exactly the same thing.

Let me save you the trouble and just let you know ahead of time, that it’s more likely you’re not.

Before I unpack why, I want to address ethical business practices. If there is ONE thing that drives me nuts, it’s “bro-marketing”. I’m actually floored that with how much people have been talking about how toxic and unethical these practices are, it’s still rampant. Here’s the standard red flags that you should watch out for. I don’t want to go too deep into them, as that’s not what this article is about — BUT I think they’re important for context.
