He shows abundance of gold to attract a crowd

He offers to sell them the map

His gold was made by selling maps
These maps lead to nothing

...but if the crowd arrives at nothing he will be caught & out of business

He leverages complexity

Multiple paths on the map, contradictions, variations

He masks this complexity as a selling point

Giving the illusion of more freedom & options
This illusion keeps the act alive

Instead of arriving at nothing

The followers are constantly on the move but never arriving anywhere

The movement gives the illusion of progress, the illusion of getting closer to the gold
His map is merely theories, he's never walked the path

He leads from the back not the front

The followers like guinea pigs get slaughtered

As he remains safe, hiding in the back
Hiding in the back he is not a leader

He is a follower of the followers

He'll sell you "how to achieve"

...but what has he achieved?

He followed a trend, supplying a demand
People in a vulnerable position hand over money for solutions to their problems

He sees this demand
He begins to research & supply 'maps'

These maps he had never walked

The blind leading the blind

But he is not even leading. He is following the demand
Catastrophic for those in a vulnerable position seeking guidance

If he attracts with gold ask what achievements led him to that gold

Better yet, seek out who lead from the front

Their achievements, stories of the achievement, evidence

Not the gold
People leading from the front sharing the map they actually walked and/or still currently walk

This is who to listen to

They don't attract with gold
They don't sell pipe dreams & smoke

They're harder to find
Some not even selling a map
I believe who to listen to is the most important thing

You're only as good as your plan, your map, your strategy

Following a map leading to nowhere

Not only wastes time & money

It ingrains bad habits & beliefs

Making the journey 10x harder
