Don’t Listen to the “so-called” Gurus

One of the biggest challenges we have in our society is the overflow of information. I think we have too much information and little or no idea how to discern the truth from the lies. The risk of the overflow of information is that we may be lead astray by lies that seems right at first sight. Couple this issue with our human nature to easily be impressed by the so called "Gurus" or experts. Regardless of the subject matter, we have a gurus on that subject.

If you look around the Internet or in your local book-store you will find a lot of hype about how you can become a millionaire with nothing more than a keyboard and a mouse. Sometimes they dare to suggest that you can become a millionaire in 30 days without lifting a finger! There are even some who will try to sell you pyramid schemes, get-rich-quick plans and every other kind of scam you can imagine. The sad part is that there are actually people who buy them. At the illusion of easy money, people whip out their wallets and give away their life savings.

My advice: stop listening to the so-called gurus! What qualifies them as experts on the subject? don’t listen to advice from someone who hasn’t been there and done it themselves! This is absolutely crucial.

I have written an ebook "Increase Your Financial IQ" geared towards those interested in improving their financial knowledge and building true wealth.
