In this episode, Tony Whatley speaks about business cults and the lack of integrity in the personal development industry. Topics covered include: Alpha Male Bootcamps Women's Health & Wellness cults Sales Training groups (especially car sales backgrounds) Flex and Flash gurus (selling the hope of lifestyle) Fitness gurus on steroids Business Cults Machiavellian tactics Cult Leadership Tactics. Here are the 10 common identifiers usually found within a cult. 1. The leader is charismatic and attracts attention. Usually has a level of intrigue or mystery about themselves. Can be unpredictable at times. They'll sometimes label themselves as prophets or that they have almost God-like characteristics or skills. 2. The leader knows how to grow an audience of followers. They understand that it's easier to get people to join when they are in a financial struggle or they feel lonely. 3. There is a defined business model that generates huge profits for the leader, and some of the Lieutenants that report directly to him or her. There are usually defined levels within the membership, starting from a low-priced base, a midrange level, and a top level. Each of these levels seems more prestigious than the level below it, and serve to make members aspire to level up (thus, spend more) 4. The psychology of "Us vs Them" is deployed heavily within the organization. The leader teaches the members to distrust anyone outside of the group. The leader makes the members feel they are part of an elite private club, and that they are better than other people outside of the club. Think about how odd this is, especially if you understand most in the group are struggling or lonely, not actually "elite". 5. The leader introduces "insider speak" within the community. These are trite little phrases or sayings that are often repeated by the leader, and show up in the external words and writings of the members. This insider speak is a way of signaling to other group members that you're in the club. It's the "IYKYK" handshake. 6. Members are manipulated to remain in the club through gained notoriety and acknowledgment within the club. They are led to believe they are better members if they contribute more money and time to the group. They are made to believe they are part of something much bigger than themselves, and that it's unsafe to leave the group. People fear the potential backlash of leaving, so they remain. 7. The leader accepts no criticism, and dissent is punished publicly. Naysayers or skeptics are removed immediately, by shunning or banning them. Those who remain in the group are encouraged to no longer associate or support former members. On social media, they'll block or unfriend you. A former member's stellar reputation may experience a smear campaign, especially if they are a whistle-blower. 8. Each cult has regular gatherings and ceremonies. These are opportunities to publicly praise the best members, encourage more donations or leveling-up ranks by investing more, and to allow the members to visually see they aren't alone. Expect "insider speak" in most member conversations, especially from the leader on stage. 9. The leader eventually earns enough to invest in real estate, a formal gathering place or compound. A place where they can teach others to enroll more members, have private gatherings, and indoctrinate their beliefs into members and staff. 10. The leader would never dare to reveal these tactics above to their members, as they profit from the low awareness of others. Comments or feedback? Find Tony on Instagram @365driven

Too many people are trying to skip to the top and pretend they're at the top by buying the fake followers, and the fake engagement, and all these things.

Tony's journey to his first million involved a combination of an engineering career, a couple of side hustle businesses, and long hours of putting in the work to get to where he is today. Through this journey, there have been countless important lessons that all business owners need to know. Although your business may be totally different in terms of your services or products, the takeaways remain the same and apply across the board to all types of businesses.

Your first million is possible, but you need to invest in the skills that will get you there and learn from all the lessons along the way.

Too many people are trading integrity for influence and trying to gain fake followers and fake notoriety to appear as though they are influential, but if it's not real, what is the point? Do those fake followers and fake blue check marks matter if they aren't actually providing real value to the world? Fake PR might work to fool people into thinking those fake influencers are more wealthy and successful than they are, but if that means sacrificing integrity to get there, those tactics are going to have long-term effects, and keeping up the fakeness will become unsustainable.  Our world is craving authenticity, and eventually, the fakes will be revealed. True influence is earned by making an impact and consistently providing value to others. Too many people want to skip the impact part, but that is what matters. It's about the long game when it comes to influence, and if someone can't provide value, they don't deserve the influence. Let's make 2023 the year of authenticity and the year we stop supporting the fakers. So how do you spot the fakes and frauds in the influence space? Tune in to find out the telltale signs of a fake influencer.  Key highlights: Stop trading integrity for influence  Why people do fake PR What are things people can fake in the influencer space?  What are things you can't fake?  How to spot fakes and frauds in the influencer space How to know someone is real and authentic  Tony explains “Pay to Play” type of events Avoid groups that teach you fake stuff and start supporting real and authentic people For resources and links mentioned in this episode, visit: 365driven.com/episode287

Tony is going to be one of the guest speakers at the nest Alpha Dog Pound Live event. Tony says success is all about consistency. It's about showing up every day and putting effort into what your goals are. Sounds simple, but it's all about doing the work. Consistency is king. Inside the personal development space, there is a lot of information being tossed around. There is the next guru, the next event, the next book, but the reality is people are collecting a lot of information that they are not doing anything with. The ever busy but not improving.   Tony throws some badass events that focus more on a journey than information transfer. The key is creating a multiple day event when the speaker is at the beginning. Meals are shared together. A hiking experience, white water rafting, and or race cars or something. Tony recommends doing things that create and bonding experience and bring people together. It's all about meeting new people and building relationships. Building community is where it's at.  What You'll Learn: How consistency is key  Building community is the way What disciple is  And much more!
