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
