Everything you know about business is wrong

In this article, I’m going to go over a list of ten things, though I may add or remove one and write a quirky note about how not giving you what you expect (in a listicle) makes me different. If you appreciate my joke, you may feel different too.

These ten things won’t really be ten separate things. They’ll be one to three core ideas artificially separated and repeated ten times. By the end, you’ll know my story and feel like you can apply it to your own.

All of these tips will be ideas you’ve already heard of, but are at the edge of the mainstream. I can count on preaching to the choir, while also coming off as an edgy visionary.

I’ll contextualize everything as a path towards improvement, as greatness is too narcissistic and self-deceiving for anyone to really buy in. I know you already want to buy in, but you have to see a little bit of yourself in here first.

Maybe these tips are real, maybe they really will help you. You’ll never know because the comments will be full of things like “GREAT!” or “You have inspired me to try harder in my own life.” They will lack the necessary dissent that forms healthy public dialogue.

My post will look like this

Now that I’m part of your daily feed of push notifications that scramble your brain and make you ask questions like “why is my life such a mess, why am I so unsuccessful,” I’ll ask you to buy my success proven book, or attend a free seminar that starts you on a proven cost ladder, ending at hundreds or thousands per lesson.

I hope you didn’t enjoy this you worthless, marketing-schlock-spewing, one-step-above-cutco-selling, wantrapreneur piece of garbage.
