The Top Ten Lines of Business Gurus!!!
1. I’m successful because I’m brilliant. Never mind that I sold a money-losing piece of crap to a dot-com at the height of the internet madness. You should listen to me for my brilliant insights.
2. I’m not ‘successful’ because I happened to be in the right place at the right time. No sir re, that had nothing to do with my success.
3. If you follow my advice, you’ll be successful too! Just wait till the next irrational exuberant thing comes along.
4. I never “drank the punch” during the dot-com era. I always told everyone that the dot-com bubble was going to burst.
5. Just give me your money and I’ll show you how to raise more. Honest.
6. Oh, I know at least THREE companies that are doing what you are doing. If not, I’ll tell them your ideas so they can get started.
7. You don’t need a direct revenue model. Just aggregate eyeballs and you’ll find a way to make money.
8. I STRUGGLED to make myself a success. Never mind my wealthy parents and Ivy League education.
9. You have to have BALANCE in your life. That’s why I divorced my old wife and took up with a young hottie after I sold my company.
10. I so successful I don’t need to work. That’s why I fly all over the country charging business wannabes $1000 to attend my seminars.
