An entrepreneur who’s business is selling information about how to be an entrepreneur. It is called ouroboros because it is similar to the mythical creature eating its own tail.
These people prey on their customers who want to “own a business” but don’t want to actually start a business. They often have an online course that is hilariously expensive (usually in the hundreds or thousands of dollars) but they get people who are convinced that if they spend a bunch of money on this course, it will surely motivate them to finally start their business (it won’t).
The trick is that only a few people will buy this shit, but it is so expensive that if only 50 people buy it in a year, that’s a modest salary.
A prime example is Tai Lopez

Get the enTREpreneur mug.A person who operates a business on city sidewalks that is based on collecting money from passers-by, generally by means of shouting, verbal intimidation or performing outrageous stunts.
The sidewalk entrepreneur typically lives on the streets, however, they differ from their homeless counterparts commonly in that they do not beg or intentionally show weakness in an effort to collect money from others.

I was having dinner with my friend on the patio of that new steakhouse downtown and we watched sidewalk entrepreneurs try to earn money the whole evening.
