Are Online Courses and Masterclasses Scams?

In this video I discuss the trend and popularity of online courses and masterclasses that can lead to new entrepreneurs becoming more committed to the act of learning than the act of doing.
There are so many courses and masterclasses out there promising entrepreneurs the keys to success and yet unfortunately some of them are simply new age pyramid schemes.
This piece on the popularity of online courses is worth reading.
I've often thought that perhaps some people become hooked on the motivation & not the purpose of the message itself. 'I've Spent £4,000 on Online Courses and I Still Feel Like a Fraud.' www.vice.com/en/article/evj9g...

These are just a few and I am mindful of the fact that some people do not always share negative their experiences of online courses and masterclasses. I am also not saying that all online courses and masterclasses are bad - what I am saying is that it is important to undertake due diligence before signing up to one of these courses/classes.
I would love to hear your thoughts

I love the chuckle - It's so true, caution is needed. Some people want to buy into bypassing the hard graft that comes with being "successful".

Absolutely right! Caution is needed and discernment is key.
