Ever been ripped off by a prominent individual? - Update - It was Daimond John

[D.C Young]

I lost my last $2,000 recently and it hurts still lol

I own a startup that sold allot of units, but I have issues gaining traction.

I recently came across some info that a famous entrepreneur (I dont want to mention his name)

who we all know, offers consulting for a few thousand dollars.

This individual is definitely a legitimate businessman. He's known by millions of people, worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

I was real excited to be able to meet this person to have a face to face meeting and was looking forward to the advice he would give me to grow this company.

However, the meeting did not go as I expected lol smh

All he did was give out common sense, generic advice such as :

"you should try crowdfunding"

"you should re-engage your customers that havent re-ordered your product"

"you should try facebook advertising"

And with these examples that I posted up, he didn't even offer me any unique strategies of going about it

Like with the crowdfunding for example, he just suggested that I go pick up a book on crowdfunding lol

Or with re-engaging my previous customers, he told me that I should send out a email to them offering them a discount coupon.

wow I never thought of that before


Man, after the meeting, I was in shock for a minute, like I can't believe that I spend my last $2,000 on this shyt.

I'm a dude that lives paycheck to paycheck smh

Anyways, you live and you learn

U should take that L as a learning experience.
U blindly paid that excessive price based off the brand name of the speaker
That's lesson number 1

Jesse Jackson got over on me once , but it didn't cost me any money. But I learned what kind of person he was before the scandals woke everyone up to his general shiftlessness.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

You need to name names with this type of thing so others dont repeat the mistake.

on one hand I feel you, but on the other hand, this shyt is so shocking to me

this is a dude who is literally on the same level as a Oprah Winfrey

or as a Marc Cuban or a Russell Simmons etc

I mean, this dude is that prominent

I still can't believe it

I mean, imagine if you found out that Mark Cuban was charging a $1,000 for a face to face meeting...

many people would immediately take it and expect to hear sincere, great business advice...
