Who gets really rich if you follow the "Buy all your personal Guru's stuff"? "Buy a new course if you struggle with task X" is a simple mantra.

The only way to boost productivity is to hire people. That's what these gurus usually do: hire stuff and let marketing (again: other people) spin it, like the single guy does all the work alone.

Easily one of the best get rich quick schemes is to create some overly complicated workflow (doesn't need to actually work) to get rich quick, and sell that to people.

I once had the idea to write a book about it where the first page just says "write this book" and then 500 blank pages

and what do you need for that?

right: money!

problem is: it's so much easier to get rich if you have money already...
