In your opinion, why do so few people believe they can achieve financial freedom?

Cause they’re in a substantial amount of debt and can’t see the end of it

Joe: "I became a millionaire, lost it all, then became a millionaire again. I share everything I've learned so you can make more money and become financially free."

Steve: "Steal the habits of Millionaires || Helping 10M people achieve financial freedom"

Brennan: "I help you become financially free! | Self-made Millionaire"

The Wealth Dad: "Occasional decent personal finance takes."

People like this make money off selling dreams to people. They all have linktrees in their profile trying to sell you something or get you to sign up for something.

The Contrepreneur Formula — What It Is and Why It Works So Well

Controversial marketing tactics fake gurus use to scam disadvantaged people out of millions

bettermarketing.pub

If you’ve spent any time on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube in the last decade, you’ve likely seen an ad inviting you to sign up for a free masterclass, webinar, or training that promises to teach you the “shortcut” to getting rich, losing weight, or attracting the mate of your dreams.

Typically, these “free” events are nothing more than a sales pitch in disguise.

But you probably already knew that.

While there’s nothing wrong with using a webinar or free training to sell legitimate products and services, the thing that sets “fake gurus” apart is:

Promising an extraordinary or unrealistic result that they have no ability or intention of delivering.

Mike Winnet, a YouTuber who exposes fraudulent marketers, has coined the phrase “contrepreneur” to describe this type of person.

According to Winnet, a contrepreneur is,

A con artist who makes their fortune by fooling wantprepreneurs into thinking they’re getting a great deal or coming into some easy money, when the reality is, it’s the contrepreneur making the real money.

Perhaps the most distasteful aspect of the contrepreneur is that they tend to prey on disadvantaged or desperate people — such as those suffering from financial hardship, health conditions, or loneliness.

You don’t need to be a doctor or lawyer to become a millionaire.

 

[Egomaniacal1]

Because making a shyt ton of money isn’t easy! What’s that saying…. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.

You either have to some combination of talent, work ethic, intelligence, connections, discipline….most ppl ain’t got none of those so after that it’s just about blind luck to hit something big.

there aren't enough entreprenuer opportunities for everyone to be a millionaire. think about it, if everyone opened up a weed store, nobody would make money. if everyone opened up a walmart, the majority of them would go out of business. worker bees are necessary

We start folks at 60k with little or no experience. Still get the “I don’t want to work weekends” “can’t work nights” nonsense. Some folks just have no ambition

 

[JetFueledThoughts]

Because very few actually can. America is built off systemic injustices that’s designed to keep 80-90% of people stuck to the job they have.

what job is that? i need another side hustle

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

They believe they won't achieve financial freedom cause it's true. Economics 101 says resources are not indefinite. People at the top are not willing to take less so people can achieve financial freedom. Also finances are rarely taught by parents and schools including college. It's a language you have to learn or be lucky to have someone teach it.

You don’t need to be an entrepreneur to be a millionaire either.

Are we talking about the United States specifically? If so it's because the country is setup where most people can't.
