Top 5 Ways To Become Poor
Too many gurus spam you with information on how to become rich with oversaturated methods like dropshipping, affiliate marketing, eCommerce, MLMs, etc. But as your friendly neighborhood antiGuru™, I’m here to teach you how to become poor.
Don’t master any particular skill.
It's better to be a jack of all trades. “specialization is for insects,” as well as people who make money. So don’t do it if you want to become poor.
Try and learn a whole bunch of different skills, but never stick to anything for long enough to actually master it or become successful at it.
Stay away from evergreen niches.
Evergreen niches should never be touched if you hate money. Especially stay away from any niche that talks about earning money because those are the most profitable of all, unfortunately.
Chase every shiny new object you see.
Shiny New Object syndrome is a poor man’s best friend. Like a moth to a flame or a gambling addict to a slot machine, you want to chase after every new opportunity you see, no matter how whimsical and novel it is. But make sure never to stick with any of them for long enough to be established.
Optimization is your worst enemy.
NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER optimize anything. Optimization is far too profitable for you to even consider. If you fail at something, do not try to optimize it until it works. It's better to just give up and start over from scratch with something completely new.
Do not have a cohesive personal brand.
If you do this, you might attract a group of like-minded people and, in doing so, build a loyal community around your business. This is never a good thing, as you will likely earn far too much of an established presence in your niche. But of course, you probably wouldn’t even think about doing something crazy like this if you hate money as much as I do.
Hopefully, you now know many of the pitfalls of the aspiring reverse-entrepreneur, and you can avoid them all like the plague. Worst of luck to you, and remember: If it seems like profitable, don’t bother.
