"Then you should take this business-development course, which will help you take your idea - no worries if it doesn't exist yet, you'll manifest it later! - and spin it into a multimillion-dollar company that you can scale within mere months. Behold this lady, a graduate of said course, who turned her ceramics hobby into a $5,000,000 juggernaut in three years and now lives in Italy with her family, dog, and a bunch of olive trees! This could be you!"
"Have we reached peak business-development-course saturation? It's hard to say - but gauging by the onslaught of influencers and "business leaders" hawking classes online, we must be close to it. To be fair, some are legitimately useful and well run. But others are a huge waste of money, if not downright predatory."
Business-development courses promise quick transformation from idea to multimillion-dollar ventures, often showcased through influencer testimonials and lifestyle success stories. Some programs provide legitimate training and support, but many charge high fees for limited, impractical guidance and rely on hype. Several entrepreneurs report significant financial loss and feelings of being misled after investing in these courses. Marketing language emphasizes manifestation, rapid scaling, and personal narratives that obscure measurable outcomes. Cautious entrepreneurs recommend verifying verifiable results, asking for transparent metrics, checking instructor credentials, and treating course fees as investment decisions rather than guaranteed shortcuts to success.
