🙏 Thank you for the history! As to how people fall for it, it's like why they fall for cults... In a moment of need, they get manipulated. Good that you got out! 👍
Your research, scripting and presentation is on point. The seminal and possibly final say on the 'make money now' niche. Take away: it's not actually a niche... It's a human condition being exploited (edit). For that, kudos.
Took me 6 years of trying to ''get rich quick'' before I made 100k a year, it's when I stopped listening to so many gurus that I actually passed that milestone. Great video as always brother.
It is so ironic that while watching a video concerning internet scam, I have to watch an ad with exactly the form of scam that this video is shining light upon.
It's very humbling and revealing to realize you fell for a scheme; admitting you were wrong and/or susceptible is one of the hardest things to admit. Schemers actually account for most victims being too ashamed to blow the whistle on them. I really appreciate your dedication to educating people on very real problems.
Agree. It’s a sign of decency and maturity to say you were the victim of a scam. I am a firm believer that any one can be scammed, given the “right” circumstances.
Man I’ve felt like I’ve been victim, but I’ve only gotten into these two pay once things, both for different topics, one of them was drop shipping, which i paid for once but then i paid again to basically like get even more help, I’ve felt like I’ve learned a lot tho, just need to use that to actually make something big now
The thing is we'll probably never get rid of them. They've existed for ages and there's always going to be new forms of get rich quick schemes as technology improves. Nothing we can really do except spread awareness...
Yeah, they've existed since the dawn of modern capitalism. From the snake oil salesmen of the 19th century, to the pyramid schemes of the 20th century, to the internet finance gurus of today.
@Sebastian Szymczyk I agree with you 100%. Everything you've said is part of being objective. The lack of objectivity when making decisions and assessments can lead to these problems. Many people are not critical thinkers like JJ and are subjective. Decisions based on emotions and feel good moments and not logic and critical thinking will almost always lead to situations that end badly.
I never understood why someone who has a method of becoming very rich very fast would waste his or her time by telling others how to do it, instead of doing it himself. This was pretty much the end of my thought process since I was a teenager in high school. And it was very painful for me to realize that even adults are being scammed that way - it forced me to realize how every educated adult person can still be manipulated by evil intents... And if such manipulation is possible, what else do you think is possible without most of the people knowing?
Going to school and even graduating with a degree doesn't automatically mean someone is educated. A lot nowadays go to socialize and get a piece of paper, and end up even dumber than when they began. I know a lot of these people cause I went to school with some. I don't have a lot of compassion, they're trying to get rich quick rather than put in effort and sacrifice and actually learn.
@@400medley what you're saying is true, but most school dropouts are much worse off than people with degrees. This is statistically and scientifically proven already.
I tried Amway back in the 90's. I never made any money. A few friends told me it was a scam and a MLM. I also went to a meeting of people trying to get other people to sell some vitamins. I'm very glad I didn't get so sucked into these that I was loosing money. I hope many more see this important video. Thanks.
The truth in this...I once dropped out of varsity because of this. Tried to do business, failed horribly, than 2 years later went back to varsity, now in my 2nd year. Thanks for sharing this James. I hate the way they play with insecurities, leaving you thinking there's something wrong with yourself. I hope you will continue to create more awareness.
I failed my final exam in varsity because I fell prey to MLM scheme. it took me 6 years graduate instead of 4 years. I lost very good friends. I lost my girlfriend because I shared those dreams with her which were promised by MLM's which definitely didn't happen. Then my family saw me as a failure. It's now taking me years and a lot of effort to make new friends and regain trust of my family ever since I walked out of MLM to develop my skills trying to find my feet in life.
@Antonio DG26 Have you heard of demonetization? Yes, probably he experiences it in lot of videos. And atleast he is not sponsering a poison like all the other celebrities in world. If he doesn't get a sponsor will your dad fund him😂
These scams were easy to ignore when they were just in the back of magazines and on late-night television. The growing ecosystem of online influencers has breathed new life into them with a new kind of insidiousness, granting them an aura of legitimacy they did not previously possess.
I remember in highschool asking my dad for money to get into the classified ads nonsense. My mom heard my dad and I arguing as I was trying to sell him on it. My mom went in to say if it was that easy everyone would be rich.
The funniest thing when watching these videos are the adverts. I guess Tai Lopez has rented a place in Puerto Rico... I doubt he will sell many courses here.
Very courageous of you to talk freely about your vulnerabilities and experiences in the "get rich quick" world. I remember back in my 30s, loaded down with car and house payments, looking desperately at those kinds of schemes. I didn't avoid them by being smart, it was by being scared. You are doing a great service with your work.
I'm 33. I'm unemployed with some disability. I almost fell down this path. What these people do is sell courses, often renting mansions and fancy cars to make their videos. Here's a secret about secrets - the best stuff is kept private. And remember the people who get rich are the ones selling the course.
My friend lost thousands to Dan Lok. He even put me down at one point for being "closed minded" and therefore broke. I honestly felt so bad for him that I just took it and nodded rather then tell him how ridiculous it was. He bought his books, attended closers in black and took coaching. In the end he's only doing ok because he went to university bot because of Dan Lok. Dan didn't make him a single penny
I was introduced to MLMs when I was a kid, thru my dad & mom. We used Amway vitamins, then they tried other new MLM companies. Once I turned 18, I started drinking the MLM Kool-Aid bcuz our entire lives we struggled & the dream they sold you was like your first hit of drugs. That so called dream did not discriminate against age, sex or race. It felt as if you knew something that no one else knew, you were special & that alone would be the beacon to your success. I learned much later that the actual products that these companies sell are shit, whether it's vitamins, shakes, drinks, travel, insurance or telecommunications bcuz their goal is membership, not product recognition bcuz they're not designed to compete in the free market. That's why no one ever heard of them & no one will
My dad got into so many of these, starting with NuSkin, continuing with Noni, ACN, and so many more. You described it so well. It's very cultish. I remember my father's mother telling him, "I'm a believer in Noni!" I know she was just trying to be supportive, but the only reason someone would talk that way is if they're trying to swallow BS.
@@nic_4849 No , I am not saying Amway vits kill , I am saying they did not help him to stay alive .So lol on Scamway. Amway does not have a very good track record , when it comes to making people comfortable in a financial respect .
The difference between you and other youtube channels that tackle money issues is that whenever I watch your videos I feel safe and not being lied to. Thanks from the bottom of my heart😊
"people overestimate what they can do in a month but underestimate what they can do in 10 years" or something, amazing video as always, keep up the awesome content :)
My husband. For years! Then he gets mad at me because as he says, you don't trust anybody. I don't trust get rich quick schemes is what I don't trust. Just because you want it to be true doesn't make it true. I think it's just the mindset that if you're "rich" you'll be somebody. Yes, it's nice not to live paycheck to paycheck but I don't think things ultimately will make you happy. Research lottery winners. Lots of sad stories.
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
You're absolutely right, to be a successful in life required not only hard work but awareness and sometime opportunity at the moment, investment remains the best way to start.
@richardcotterell4406 Obviously talking about been successful, I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Debra Barton
Big fan of these videos James. 🔥 Seeing disingenuous people selling get rich quick courses was actually one of the big factors that inspired me to start making my videos and give out free info.
I like your videos however: if something is free then you are the product. Finance channels like you have high earnings per 1000 views and its only logical that some videos are just straight out stretched or time waste or half truths (etc etc...)
One interesting aspect to this is the adverts YT has chosen to play on the video, they're all get rich quick scams. Scamming the scammers haha. Glad you escaped that world, I almost got sucked in too.
I will never forget when a coed tried pulling me into an MLM. The guy who was doing my introduction drew the scheme on the white board and I went "that looks suspiciously like a pyramid", to which the guy replied "well, no, a pyramid is pointy at the top, our system is pointy at the bottom."
I fell into the Amazon FBA hustle. I thought something was wrong with me. Happens to the best of us. Personal development can carry you through the darkest of times. Stay working on yourself and increasing your value
@@eduardonavarro1574 it's not a scam, it's how you execute it i.e. have enough money to invest and calculate/set *realistic* profit goals. But be aware of the gurus who are selling you overpriced courses and making "too good to be true" promises.
Remember this, always: - A "rich person" doesn't need to work to sell training courses. Ask yourself why said "self made millionaire" is doing so. - If someone has found a "trick" to make it in a market such as crypto or real estate, there's no reason for him to share it to the world. Why increase competition when you can make passive income for the rest of your life? Makes no sense.
Glad you got out, I was roped in to MLM's for 4 years, lost 16k, and had such little self confidence when I got out I felt like a different person. It's terrible and I wouldn't wish it on anyone

Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!
Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!
she's a known advisor. I actually did look her up curiously and went through her credentials on her webbsite... Top-notch! I wrote her an email, hopefully she's accepting new intakes.
Takes a lot of courage to come forward and admit you've been scammed. Thank you for yet another awesome video James! No more skipping ads for your channel ;)
The more I learn about these pyramid schemes the more my friend's situation keeps geting to the forefront of my mind. She works for a leggit grocery delivery co mpany but for very low wages, no overtimes and has chosen that job over a highly paid one. She works 7 days a week 13h shifts. That company has promised her the world as in fast progress. All she talks about is work. They recently sent her on a 5 day training course where affiliates from the usa (friend is based in the uk) were giving them motivational speeches. I know this isnt a pyramid scheme but it isnt far from it. It' mental to see your friend change overnight after a couple of job interviews ..
@@CrustyUgg apparently promotions and shares of the company. my instincts were correct as now she is exhausted from working 7 days a week and getting nowhere, they even made her edit her linkedin profile from shop manager (which she basically is) into site leader... good luck trying to move on to a better paid job with that on your cv.
I have recently had the same epiphany! The only way to be rich/successful is discipline and hard work over the course of a long period of time. It’s not easy at all! It’s very hard. The moment you realize that is the moment you’ll succeed and the gurus will make you sick!
Working smart not hard,and yes over a long period of time.working hard alone is not enough you also need to be extremely lucky because you are competing with millions of people(not to mention foreign competition) no matter which business/trade you work in
I did it - took about 5 or 6 years. Got my degree in technical sales - associate degree is medical science. Sold Pharma, then medical devices, then bio tech medical devices. I was a divorced mom with 3 kids. I enjoyed my career, worked very hard. Grateful I did it when I did - it is a lot harder to do in today’s environment - some may be able to do OK with the right connections,
nope, working hard never got anybody rich, its working smart, you can work 60 hours a week until u die n be broke af, make smart moves with your money invest save.
I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. To be successful one has to have multiple income streams and so on, also investors should understand the crossover between asset classes & liquidity flow, Angie Chen Owens focuses on Multi-asset trading, a single strategy to manage risk, profit, and the code or the actual decision-making across multi-asset classes. Her skills set is top notch
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
She is my family's personal Broker and also a personal Broker to many families in the United states, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the United States.
In a world where conspiracy theories are taken as facts and fake gurus are praised, your channel is giving a healthy critical perspective to things. You've got a new subscriber here!!
Many conspiracy theories have been proven true. Some are BS but many are proven true. So don’t be so general in your dismissiveness. To say all conspiracy theories are false is as ignorant as saying they are all true.
I just been told I can get rich quick by buying an old Egyptian building. I think it’s a pyramid scheme. Edit: As a small channel that no one cares about, really appreciate the love! Visual Venture. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
When I was 19 I almost got roped into one of these scams I’m 31 now and I’m frankly surprised I was smart enough at that time not to fall for it today it wouldn’t happen
I can relate, it happened to me too! I was so desperate for more money I was willing to do almost everything. James did such a good job with this video in exposing the truth, he gives me so much inspiration with my channel in doing the same thing!
Same here. I was 16 when it first happened to me. I was looking for a part time job and then I got roped into it. From what should have been a short meeting about the job they are offering, it became a sales pitch for an MLM company. It's honestly very scary that even though you are aware of those kinds of scams, when people present such schemes in front of you as an "opportunity for financial freedom" and you happen to be in a position where you are in dire financial need, it still gets you.
I really wanted to go to one of those weekend boot camp to become rich. It costs $3000. I didn't go because I didn't want to put out that money. Now, I realized they all are scams.
It’s been my experience that anyone who makes a lot of money and is middle class is not ever going to reveal to others how they made it unless they’re scamming you
I remember you were joking about having NordVPN as a sponsor in one of your earlier videos, and now here you are. I don't know you personally, but I'm really proud of you !
James' vulnerability here is fierce. Sharing a weakness - whether present or past - is a mark of courage and the sign of a true leader. Well done Mr. Jani. I lift you up!
if people would stop comparing themselves and learn to be content with what they have this problem would not be such a big issue... same for many things like how people physically look, or act, etc...
Yeah but it also teaches, "ask and you shall receive", which is very confusing when in the next chapter(not literally the next) it can say "blessed are the poor, meek and humble"... "Impossible for a rich man to get into heaven" etc. We all know though, that we wont receive just because we ask, fast and pray. People still die, wars continue, money evades people, tsunamis come in etc etc. Some people receive, but they can never prove if it was God or themselves being lucky or working really hard, because another person could receive just as much without being a believer. And just like with these gurus and pyramids schemes, they have covered their backs. Because if you don´t receive blessings, or you can´t move that mountain(or reach the top), then it YOUR fault for having to little faith etc. Pray more, fast more, give more, tithe more, etc. Don´t get me started on the obvious contradictions of the old and new testament. Not that i care what people believe, that is their own life, i just want people to question more. And of course there are churches that behave good and justly, compared to other institutions within the religious realm. I love the bibles words about loving your neighbor and treating others as you want to be treated yourself, but as with all snake-oil salesmen they always have some truths in there to make people blind to the rest of it. 9) On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. (John 16:23-24 NAB)
@@henriklarsson5221 Dont forget about the verse that talks about God not giving one what they ask for if they will use it toward their own lusts... For example, if you only want a woman for sex then He will not bless you in that area and even if you "get" a women afterwards that does not mean its from God.
@@MannyloAnimeSquad Well you kind of made the point there, you can´t prove that nor can the other side. So the main point is that there is no proof. And btw my quote from Jesus, who is God in most Christians eyes, said you could do great wonders with real faith(which we never see, and even if they claim so it can never be proven)... i was not talking about sex. He(God) did say many things to the Israelites about killing all men, women and children tough, and taking the virgins as loot. That is another story tough.
You hit it on the head. A good rule I always try to follow is nothing comes east in life. The quote “if it’s to good to be true, then it’s probably not true” was quoted for a reason. No one what’s to be embarrassed or admit they have been a victim of these schemes. However I bet almost every single person has fallen into something at some point in their lifetime.
I stumbled onto your channel one day when one of your videos showed up in my Recommendations list (the one about the rise of fake gurus), and was blown away at the level of production. Everything is done really well, from editing, to sound and content, and I love how honest you come across in your videos as well as with being open with your viewers. This has easily become one of my favourite UA-cam documentary channels, and I'd like to thank you for making these videos. I know that so much effort goes into producing every one of them, and for that we're all appreciative. Huge respect to you Mr Jani!
This is hands down the absolute greatest video I've ever seen on get rich quick schemes and fake gurus period end of story. James Jani's extraordinarily articulate yet simple breakdown of this chaotic world of deception is truly outstanding. His delivery, his cadence, his choice of words, his research all achieve the intended effect. This video is for people who are objective. And Jani delivers his message with skill and mastery. I've seen a number of videos on this subject. But JJ delivers the penultimate rebuttal to the horrific world of MLM madness and fake gurus. Thank you James Jani for this outstanding achievement.
James, thank you for acknowledging that absolutely ALL people can fall into such schemes, or also cults and frauds. You can be the smartest and most sceptical person in existence, but your one moment of vulnerability or inattentiveness can lead to it
Thanks for the public service message. I had a friend who fell into the grips of one of these companies. She won't even give me the name, I had to attend the workshop. She denied it was MLM, then admitted much later it's the "Rolls Royce of MLM"
I’m convinced that if you’re overconfident and have basic oratory skills, there is a big audience out there for you, and they will buy whatever the hell you’re selling. This is the story of humanity, charismatic con artists bullsheting the masses.
I hope James Jani is fine. I really need a new video from him. Your videos are really inspiring and I’m really waiting for a new one from you. 😀 your video has helped me build up financially and also opened my knowledge to a whole lot of things.
wow that is very awesome. I can relate to what you are saying his videos did the same to me. Even inspired me to start my own channel and make videos with his type of movie like style. I am itching for the next video of his! I am sure it is coming!
There’ve been over 6000 comments before this one and I statistically doubt I am the first person to say this, yet I must say it again - this was an absolutely brilliant presentation of how anyone can fall down this rabbit hole. I have too. Thank you, so much, truly and deeply for your analysis of this
I swear you would have saved me from so many mistakes I've made in the last three years If your channel existed then. keep the content up you are educating a lot of people!
Four Principles of Financial Planning Success Think long-term with goals and investing. Spend less than you earn. Maintain liquidity (an emergency savings). Minimize the use of debt. I would advise you Invest in the most secured platform with Marvin kemp . He comes highly recommended and those that have reached out have great testimonies even myself. Marvin Kemp is best to handle you tradings. He works on a professional level with 99% winning accuracy.
James you're a treasure both for being so open about your own experiences and "admitting" that you often "fell" for some things and for passing on what obtained from learning and reflecting on your experiences. Goes for this video as for the toxic self-help thing. Anyone can fall for it given the right circumstances if they aren't provided with the patterns to recognize it and behind the scenes working of it.
@@DaGreat81 agreed building my business has given me stability and actually job security. We all have always deserved better than what corps would give us, when it matches productivity I could see it being an option but you will never get your worth as an employee vs being the owner
9-5 for me I see it as a stepping stone to your financial freedom, set goals on what you want to do and save bit by bit to achieve, I have done it and anyone else can do it. But don't forget be patient, it will take time!
As a highly sensitive and quite respectful and supportive person as well, I ve been pitched at least one hundred times this type of ideas...and each time I would listen to each individual, support their vision and wish them best of luck from the bottom of my heart... All that time my gut feeling was screaming "get the hell out of here"...I m sure the more we are in touch with ourselves and our inner gps the less we are likely to be influenced by such ideas or individuals.

I look forward to James's videos like a world movie premiere! I fell for Quixtar in the early 2000's. Luckily I saw through The BS pretty quickly. Something just seemed weird about EVERYONE saying the SAME things. Don Lapre was a Direct marketing legend, until he killed himself in prison the day before his trial
Thank you James. I was almost a victim of such schemes. Today I try and help friends and family avoid such people. Unrealistic outcomes are exactly that... keep up the good work mate. Sending you love from South Africa.
I love this.. there should more - there are people being taken advantage of who are desperate. I wish there was a dominating presence of UA-camrs calling out this nonsense.

you make good content, you are really down to earth and not afraid to tell the truth, those gurus will hate you but when you do right everything seems to fall into place
I fell for this scheme for a YEAR and a HALF when I so LOW and desperate that neither my higher education nor my friends could stop me from wasting my time on this BS. Psychological affects of that "cult" are haunting me up to this day, ten years later...
I went through the exact same thing about 18 months ago. I hated my job, I wanted more money and more control over my life. I then discovered UA-cam videos about dropshipping and people making £500,000 in 6 months and driving nice cars. I was sucked in. You’re so right. I consider myself to be an intelligent guy but my vulnerability at the time saw me fall into this rabbit hole. Thankfully I didn’t sink a lot of money into it. I ran a Shopify store for 2 months before common sense slapped me across the face. I completely understand how people get sucked into these things. Videos like this are so important. Great work as always mate
and unfortunately people here are very desperate and fall for that kak, on Insta I see the "forex traders" flexing "their" stuff and then selling their courses but our people cannot see through it, it's sad to see
It really amazes me Aviwe that here in SA we have so many pyramid schemes and there is virtually no government oversight unlike other countries. Amway is another cult-like scheme here in SA to beware of. I see so many poor, desperate people in our land falling for these schemes. I don't blame them as we live in tough times. I blame these snake oil salesman.
Not even gonna lie, I’d consider myself a pretty self aware guy but recently I was down bad for a while and almost got roped into a pyramid get rich quick scheme (Amway). But luckily I was able to get out of it without losing anything but time.
You'll know the saying if it looks and sounds to good to be true then it is, well IMV if these con artists are so good a making money, then why are they telling mugs how to make money, when any legitimate rich person would keep their secret to themselves to not have competition. 😉
You expressed it very well, and in fact, you traced this problem back to its historical roots. This is exactly what is happening in today's world, with the potential of the internet and social media. We see this pattern being reproduced on a large scale and reaching an increasing number of people. Getting rich quickly only enriches the seller, not the buyer.
Apart from the content (which I obviously love), I also love his video editing skills, his background, his way of talking, talking to us staring in our eyes at crucial moments. Big fan man!! Big fan ❤️
You are genuine ! The content you put together and present is off the charts. I pray for your success, health and ambitions in life. Much love. Peace !
I was always watching these webinars wondering if this was the “next big thing.” But your video on how to spot these gurus and marketing techniques helped me tremendously. I stepped out of that pressure and waited for the $997 limited timer offer. Never buy when someone is pressuring you!
Fear is a powerful motivator. I was in a really difficult place when I nearly fell for these schemes. I was lucky that I am tightly connected to my family as they basically pulled me back before I took the plunge.
Again, great video! Brings back bad memories of ALL of the get rich schemes. I bought Don Lupre's course and made exactly $0. Lupre was arrested and killed himself and sadly, his story is much the same as most other get rich quick "gurus." All of them are fraudsters and con-artists. Best to find something you like and work really hard at it and forget about money, which is when you actually start making money.

Uhm.. Of course you did stop watching them. Because you're kinda already wealthy enough duh..
It is so ironic that while watching a video concerning internet scam, I have to watch an ad with exactly the form of scam that this video is shining light upon.

Yes me too

So do I. It's a glitch in the algorithm.
Anyone else get a get-rich-quick ad in the middle of this video? 😂 Great video James! 🙌
Yeah, because those people running ads are targeting the subject of this video ;)
Ballsy as well to go against heavy weight punchers that live in America . Much respect
Haha, me too 😅
The algorithm is confused 😂🤣
Oh yes.
It's very humbling and revealing to realize you fell for a scheme; admitting you were wrong and/or susceptible is one of the hardest things to admit. Schemers actually account for most victims being too ashamed to blow the whistle on them. I really appreciate your dedication to educating people on very real problems.
Agree. It’s a sign of decency and maturity to say you were the victim of a scam. I am a firm believer that any one can be scammed, given the “right” circumstances.
As a victim of a get rich scheme. Your content is underrated and not exposed enough. In this day of age of dreamselling you are a breath of fresh air.
Absolutely. This guy is doing important and valuable work in the public interest.
He deserves every respect.
Idk man, 1.7 M subs, that’s a pretty solid reach. Some ppl just don’t care about building a future
Man I’ve felt like I’ve been victim, but I’ve only gotten into these two pay once things, both for different topics, one of them was drop shipping, which i paid for once but then i paid again to basically like get even more help, I’ve felt like I’ve learned a lot tho, just need to use that to actually make something big now
The thing is we'll probably never get rid of them. They've existed for ages and there's always going to be new forms of get rich quick schemes as technology improves. Nothing we can really do except spread awareness...
Spread apathy, not awareness.
Yeah, they've existed since the dawn of modern capitalism. From the snake oil salesmen of the 19th century, to the pyramid schemes of the 20th century, to the internet finance gurus of today.
At least we can dslike their videos (HUGE DSLKE)
@Sebastian Szymczyk I agree with you 100%. Everything you've said is part of being objective. The lack of objectivity when making decisions and assessments can lead to these problems. Many people are not critical thinkers like JJ and are subjective. Decisions based on emotions and feel good moments and not logic and critical thinking will almost always lead to situations that end badly.
The hilarious thing is that this channel is making money the same way! At least they are actually trying to help society.
I never understood why someone who has a method of becoming very rich very fast would waste his or her time by telling others how to do it, instead of doing it himself. This was pretty much the end of my thought process since I was a teenager in high school. And it was very painful for me to realize that even adults are being scammed that way - it forced me to realize how every educated adult person can still be manipulated by evil intents... And if such manipulation is possible, what else do you think is possible without most of the people knowing?
Absolutely agree with you. Do you think that they are sooo concern about the rest of us.... haha
Going to school and even graduating with a degree doesn't automatically mean someone is educated. A lot nowadays go to socialize and get a piece of paper, and end up even dumber than when they began. I know a lot of these people cause I went to school with some. I don't have a lot of compassion, they're trying to get rich quick rather than put in effort and sacrifice and actually learn.
Evil intents are widespread.. Stupidity exceeds that
@@400medley what you're saying is true, but most school dropouts are much worse off than people with degrees. This is statistically and scientifically proven already.
Most people who got rich off of a secret product they developed would not never tell anyone ,they would just make their money
I tried Amway back in the 90's. I never made any money. A few friends told me it was a scam and a MLM. I also went to a meeting of people trying to get other people to sell some vitamins. I'm very glad I didn't get so sucked into these that I was loosing money. I hope many more see this important video. Thanks.
Wasn’t Jerry Hicks one of the top salesmen for Amway before him and Esther started channeling “Abraham Hicks”?
The truth in this...I once dropped out of varsity because of this.
Tried to do business, failed horribly, than 2 years later went back to varsity, now in my 2nd year.
Thanks for sharing this James. I hate the way they play with insecurities, leaving you thinking there's something wrong with yourself.
I hope you will continue to create more awareness.
Breathe bro trust me
I failed my final exam in varsity because I fell prey to MLM scheme. it took me 6 years graduate instead of 4 years. I lost very good friends. I lost my girlfriend because I shared those dreams with her which were promised by MLM's which definitely didn't happen. Then my family saw me as a failure.
It's now taking me years and a lot of effort to make new friends and regain trust of my family ever since I walked out of MLM to develop my skills trying to find my feet in life.
You jumped from one scam to the next 🥱

These scams were easy to ignore when they were just in the back of magazines and on late-night television. The growing ecosystem of online influencers has breathed new life into them with a new kind of insidiousness, granting them an aura of legitimacy they did not previously possess.

The funniest thing when watching these videos are the adverts. I guess Tai Lopez has rented a place in Puerto Rico... I doubt he will sell many courses here.
The amazon twins advert cut in. Very confusing.

I’m sure he rented one there because it’s relatively cheaper to rent a big house and for the nice scenery.

Very courageous of you to talk freely about your vulnerabilities and experiences in the "get rich quick" world. I remember back in my 30s, loaded down with car and house payments, looking desperately at those kinds of schemes. I didn't avoid them by being smart, it was by being scared. You are doing a great service with your work.
You missed out bruh
I'm 33. I'm unemployed with some disability. I almost fell down this path. What these people do is sell courses, often renting mansions and fancy cars to make their videos. Here's a secret about secrets - the best stuff is kept private. And remember the people who get rich are the ones selling the course.
Just like the Pulpit SCAMMERS.
These courses have been around since the early 2000

I was introduced to MLMs when I was a kid, thru my dad & mom. We used Amway vitamins, then they tried other new MLM companies. Once I turned 18, I started drinking the MLM Kool-Aid bcuz our entire lives we struggled & the dream they sold you was like your first hit of drugs. That so called dream did not discriminate against age, sex or race. It felt as if you knew something that no one else knew, you were special & that alone would be the beacon to your success. I learned much later that the actual products that these companies sell are shit, whether it's vitamins, shakes, drinks, travel, insurance or telecommunications bcuz their goal is membership, not product recognition bcuz they're not designed to compete in the free market. That's why no one ever heard of them & no one will
Are you Nigerian like me?
So true a teacher , at my high school sold Amway and told me he used Amway vitamins daily .He did not see his 65th birthday , sick , then died .
@@Jay-vr9ir lol so are you saying taking Amway vits kills people? Cuz that's what youre saying haha. That's ridic.
My dad got into so many of these, starting with NuSkin, continuing with Noni, ACN, and so many more. You described it so well. It's very cultish. I remember my father's mother telling him, "I'm a believer in Noni!" I know she was just trying to be supportive, but the only reason someone would talk that way is if they're trying to swallow BS.

For real mate.

My husband. For years! Then he gets mad at me because as he says, you don't trust anybody. I don't trust get rich quick schemes is what I don't trust. Just because you want it to be true doesn't make it true. I think it's just the mindset that if you're "rich" you'll be somebody.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
You're absolutely right, to be a successful in life required not only hard work but awareness and sometime opportunity at the moment, investment remains the best way to start.

Im about to enter :( it is a scam?
@@eduardonavarro1574 it's not a scam, it's how you execute it i.e. have enough money to invest and calculate/set *realistic* profit goals. But be aware of the gurus who are selling you overpriced courses and making "too good to be true" promises.
@eduardonavarro1574 It's not but it's very expensive
Remember this, always:
- A "rich person" doesn't need to work to sell training courses. Ask yourself why said "self made millionaire" is doing so.
- If someone has found a "trick" to make it in a market such as crypto or real estate, there's no reason for him to share it to the world. Why increase competition when you can make passive income for the rest of your life? Makes no sense.

Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!
Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!

Good job James. You genuinely are doing a service to humanity. In the end, that is what truly matters.
The more I learn about these pyramid schemes the more my friend's situation keeps geting to the forefront of my mind. She works for a leggit grocery delivery co mpany but for very low wages, no overtimes and has chosen that job over a highly paid one. She works 7 days a week 13h shifts. That company has promised her the world as in fast progress. All she talks about is work. They recently sent her on a 5 day training course where affiliates from the usa (friend is based in the uk) were giving them motivational speeches. I know this isnt a pyramid scheme but it isnt far from it. It' mental to see your friend change overnight after a couple of job interviews ..
I'm confused.. what is the promise they're making her?
This seems more like an average low paying job try take advantage.
You are neither here nor there
@@CrustyUgg apparently promotions and shares of the company. my instincts were correct as now she is exhausted from working 7 days a week and getting nowhere, they even made her edit her linkedin profile from shop manager (which she basically is) into site leader... good luck trying to move on to a better paid job with that on your cv.
I have recently had the same epiphany! The only way to be rich/successful is discipline and hard work over the course of a long period of time. It’s not easy at all! It’s very hard. The moment you realize that is the moment you’ll succeed and the gurus will make you sick!
Working smart not hard,and yes over a long period of time.working hard alone is not enough you also need to be extremely lucky because you are competing with millions of people(not to mention foreign competition) no matter which business/trade you work in
I did it - took about 5 or 6 years. Got my degree in technical sales - associate degree is medical science. Sold Pharma, then medical devices, then bio tech medical devices. I was a divorced mom with 3 kids. I enjoyed my career, worked very hard. Grateful I did it when I did - it is a lot harder to do in today’s environment - some may be able to do OK with the right connections,
nope, working hard never got anybody rich, its working smart, you can work 60 hours a week until u die n be broke af, make smart moves with your money invest save.
I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. To be successful one has to have multiple income streams and so on, also investors should understand the crossover between asset classes & liquidity flow, Angie Chen Owens focuses on Multi-asset trading, a single strategy to manage risk, profit, and the code or the actual decision-making across multi-asset classes. Her skills set is top notch
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
She is my family's personal Broker and also a personal Broker to many families in the United states, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the United States.
You trade with Angie Owens too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I was skeptical at first until I decided to try. It’s huge returns is awesome! I can’t say much.
In a world where conspiracy theories are taken as facts and fake gurus are praised, your channel is giving a healthy critical perspective to things. You've got a new subscriber here!!
Many conspiracy theories have been proven true. Some are BS but many are proven true. So don’t be so general in your dismissiveness. To say all conspiracy theories are false is as ignorant as saying they are all true.

same here. I almost joined Amway lol
Same here. I was 16 when it first happened to me. I was looking for a part time job and then I got roped into it. From what should have been a short meeting about the job they are offering, it became a sales pitch for an MLM company.
It's honestly very scary that even though you are aware of those kinds of scams, when people present such schemes in front of you as an "opportunity for financial freedom" and you happen to be in a position where you are in dire financial need, it still gets you.
I really wanted to go to one of those weekend boot camp to become rich. It costs $3000. I didn't go because I didn't want to put out that money. Now, I realized they all are scams.
It’s been my experience that anyone who makes a lot of money and is middle class is not ever going to reveal to others how they made it unless they’re scamming you
Not outside of like close family and friends. Certainly not the entire world if you pay them $49.99
What about upper-class? 🙃
Exactly, wealthy Jews will only give away their knowledge to other Jews they find at the synagogue.

James' vulnerability here is fierce.
Sharing a weakness - whether present or past - is a mark of courage and the sign of a true leader.
Well done Mr. Jani. I lift you up!
if people would stop comparing themselves and learn to be content with what they have this problem would not be such a big issue... same for many things like how people physically look, or act, etc...
That’s what Bible teaches
Yeah but it also teaches, "ask and you shall receive", which is very confusing when in the next chapter(not literally the next) it can say "blessed are the poor, meek and humble"... "Impossible for a rich man to get into heaven" etc.
We all know though, that we wont receive just because we ask, fast and pray. People still die, wars continue, money evades people, tsunamis come in etc etc. Some people receive, but they can never prove if it was God or themselves being lucky or working really hard, because another person could receive just as much without being a believer.
And just like with these gurus and pyramids schemes, they have covered their backs. Because if you don´t receive blessings, or you can´t move that mountain(or reach the top), then it YOUR fault for having to little faith etc. Pray more, fast more, give more, tithe more, etc.
Don´t get me started on the obvious contradictions of the old and new testament.
Not that i care what people believe, that is their own life, i just want people to question more. And of course there are churches that behave good and justly, compared to other institutions within the religious realm. I love the bibles words about loving your neighbor and treating others as you want to be treated yourself, but as with all snake-oil salesmen they always have some truths in there to make people blind to the rest of it.
9) On that day you will not question me about anything. Amen, amen, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. Until now you have not asked anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. (John 16:23-24 NAB)

And btw my quote from Jesus, who is God in most Christians eyes, said you could do great wonders with real faith(which we never see, and even if they claim so it can never be proven)... i was not talking about sex. He(God) did say many things to the Israelites about killing all men, women and children tough, and taking the virgins as loot. That is another story tough.
You hit it on the head. A good rule I always try to follow is nothing comes east in life. The quote “if it’s to good to be true, then it’s probably not true” was quoted for a reason. No one what’s to be embarrassed or admit they have been a victim of these schemes. However I bet almost every single person has fallen into something at some point in their lifetime.
I stumbled onto your channel one day when one of your videos showed up in my Recommendations list (the one about the rise of fake gurus), and was blown away at the level of production. Everything is done really well, from editing, to sound and content, and I love how honest you come across in your videos as well as with being open with your viewers.

“hand to head.. salute.. to many days as yet to come…….” This phrase always gives me the chills.. Now the wait begins till a new video! 😢
This is hands down the absolute greatest video I've ever seen on get rich quick schemes and fake gurus period end of story. James Jani's extraordinarily articulate yet simple breakdown of this chaotic world of deception is truly outstanding. His delivery, his cadence, his choice of words, his research all achieve the intended effect. This video is for people who are objective. And Jani delivers his message with skill and mastery. I've seen a number of videos on this subject. But JJ delivers the penultimate rebuttal to the horrific world of MLM madness and fake gurus. Thank you James Jani for this outstanding achievement.
Thanks
Really good video, keep it up.
James, thank you for acknowledging that absolutely ALL people can fall into such schemes, or also cults and frauds. You can be the smartest and most sceptical person in existence, but your one moment of vulnerability or inattentiveness can lead to it
Such an eye opening video for sure! Definitely helped me out as well! He inspires me so much with my channel!
You keep telling yourself that. The fact is that highly intelligent and educated people don't fall for these schemes. There are studies on this.
Not true, it’s just making excuses for his audience.
If you fall for something like this, well you aren’t even close as smart as you believe.
Thinking you're the smartest person out there is exactly the mindset that makes you vulnerable :ь
This is truly my biggest fear.😬 A moment of vulnerability or inattentiveness.
Thanks for the public service message. I had a friend who fell into the grips of one of these companies. She won't even give me the name, I had to attend the workshop. She denied it was MLM, then admitted much later it's the "Rolls Royce of MLM"
The type of thing you expect to see on Netflix. But I'm so glad it's on UA-cam instead.
Awe no. Netflix documentaries are scams themselves.

Working at 9-5 never makes you a failure. I think most young people need to realize this.

@@DaGreat81 agreed building my business has given me stability and actually job security. We all have always deserved better than what corps would give us, when it matches productivity I could see it being an option but you will never get your worth as an employee vs being the owner
9-5 for me I see it as a stepping stone to your financial freedom, set goals on what you want to do and save bit by bit to achieve, I have done it and anyone else can do it. But don't forget be patient, it will take time!
Depends on if you really enjoy what you're doing or not.

I look forward to James's videos like a world movie premiere!
I fell for Quixtar in the early 2000's. Luckily I saw through The BS pretty quickly.
Something just seemed weird about EVERYONE saying the SAME things.
Don Lapre was a Direct marketing legend, until he killed himself in prison the day before his trial
@Architects of Reality I guess UA-cam hid my comment. But yes, he committed suicide.
Thank you James. I was almost a victim of such schemes. Today I try and help friends and family avoid such people. Unrealistic outcomes are exactly that... keep up the good work mate. Sending you love from South Africa.
I love this.. there should more - there are people being taken advantage of who are desperate. I wish there was a dominating presence of UA-camrs calling out this nonsense.

I love that you’re exposing these fools.
you make good content, you are really down to earth and not afraid to tell the truth, those gurus will hate you but when you do right everything seems to fall into place
I fell for this scheme for a YEAR and a HALF when I so LOW and desperate that neither my higher education nor my friends could stop me from wasting my time on this BS. Psychological affects of that "cult" are haunting me up to this day, ten years later...
Agreed😊
Damn another James Jani video, lemme grab popcorns real quick
If someone has to sell me on the fact that they know what they are doing then they probably don't actually know what they are doing.
The goal is to rob ppl in plain site for these fake gurus
“Trust me.” - guy you can’t and shouldn’t trust.
You criticising this video?
Boi your editing is Satisfying and Helpful. Welldone BRO.
Thank you for another brilliant documentary. When people are in need, they often fall into these schemes.
James Jani, everytime I see your notification popping up I am glad to get that Valuable info 🔥
I went through the exact same thing about 18 months ago. I hated my job, I wanted more money and more control over my life. I then discovered UA-cam videos about dropshipping and people making £500,000 in 6 months and driving nice cars. I was sucked in.
You’re so right. I consider myself to be an intelligent guy but my vulnerability at the time saw me fall into this rabbit hole. Thankfully I didn’t sink a lot of money into it. I ran a Shopify store for 2 months before common sense slapped me across the face. I completely understand how people get sucked into these things.
Videos like this are so important. Great work as always mate
Its true easy to be sucked on false promises at your most vulnerable a x these ads are sooo misleading ...how are u now in terms of your situation?
Yeah I fell in that rabbit hole as well! I’m glad you are shedding this to light because a lot of people need to know this!
I’ve seen all of your documentaries. They are fantastic. The internet needs more people like you.
This VEMMA story is just like Herbal Life Nutrition here in South Africa.
excatly not only in south afri but in all the world
Herbalife
Nutralite
Amway
Modicare
...
and unfortunately people here are very desperate and fall for that kak, on Insta I see the "forex traders" flexing "their" stuff and then selling their courses but our people cannot see through it, it's sad to see
Herba life is a worldwide virus .
It really amazes me Aviwe that here in SA we have so many pyramid schemes and there is virtually no government oversight unlike other countries. Amway is another cult-like scheme here in SA to beware of. I see so many poor, desperate people in our land falling for these schemes. I don't blame them as we live in tough times. I blame these snake oil salesman.
James’s back!
When a James Jani video pops up, you just HAVE TO watch it 🚀🌙
"Hand to Head"
Yeah! You're absolutely correct dude.
Not even gonna lie, I’d consider myself a pretty self aware guy but recently I was down bad for a while and almost got roped into a pyramid get rich quick scheme (Amway). But luckily I was able to get out of it without losing anything but time.
Always is practically a cult and they are getting more crafty with their scam and manipulation
@@sanaruarts5527 they even lie about the name of the business. Shame on them.
You'll know the saying if it looks and sounds to good to be true then it is, well IMV if these con artists are so good a making money, then why are they telling mugs how to make money, when any legitimate rich person would keep their secret to themselves to not have competition. 😉
They always try to sneak into you, so dont worry
Is amway actually a pyramid scheme? Was genuinely curious, aren’t they direct sales?
You expressed it very well, and in fact, you traced this problem back to its historical roots. This is exactly what is happening in today's world, with the potential of the internet and social media. We see this pattern being reproduced on a large scale and reaching an increasing number of people. Getting rich quickly only enriches the seller, not the buyer.
Apart from the content (which I obviously love), I also love his video editing skills, his background, his way of talking, talking to us staring in our eyes at crucial moments. Big fan man!! Big fan ❤️
You are genuine ! The content you put together and present is off the charts. I pray for your success, health and ambitions in life. Much love. Peace !
I was always watching these webinars wondering if this was the “next big thing.” But your video on how to spot these gurus and marketing techniques helped me tremendously. I stepped out of that pressure and waited for the $997 limited timer offer. Never buy when someone is pressuring you!
Fear is a powerful motivator. I was in a really difficult place when I nearly fell for these schemes. I was lucky that I am tightly connected to my family as they basically pulled me back before I took the plunge.
Just had to like before watching cos I know it's gonna be good 👍
Legend 😉
It’s always a good day when James uploads.

Thank you for telling the truth, millions of people have fallen victims of these scams
Again, great video! Brings back bad memories of ALL of the get rich schemes. I bought Don Lupre's course and made exactly $0. Lupre was arrested and killed himself and sadly, his story is much the same as most other get rich quick "gurus." All of them are fraudsters and con-artists. Best to find something you like and work really hard at it and forget about money, which is when you actually start making money.
Me too. I bought the "tiny little ads" BS. Lupre sold only 1 thing: false hope.
