ouroboros entrepreneur 

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

have you seen all of these videos about how this guy will teach you how to make 70k a year working from home?

ignore them, they’re just an ouroboros entrepreneur

I guess they do want me to buy their $900 course…
