Lauren Bateman recounts a personal anecdote about a friend who repeatedly chases new online money-making "schemes" that lack substance and practical experience. She contrasts that behavior with the value of an experienced mentor who could provide real coaching during a business crisis, and concludes with a warning: claims of quick, easy online money should be distrusted.
So I have a friend, and it seemed like almost every year he had like a new gimmick and a new scheme about how to make money online. And I never wanted to be one of those people because it's so fake. And you can tell people who do that because there really isn't a lot of substance behind. When you start asking them about business stuff, they really don't know because they don't have the experience. I had a mentor. When the car crashed happened, he didn't never had it happen before. But I had someone else in the group who was older, and he had a lot of experience around this. And he actually coached me through it, not the mentor. And I was like, I need a new mentor. They can't help me with the problems I'm having in my business. So just be careful of the people who are promoting. Make the money online. Make quick money online. It's not quick. It's not easy. Anyone says you can make money quick online, walk away.
