Recently, an investor in jane doe died unexpectedly while attending an expensive training course.
The incident is still under investigation and it is impossible to draw a conclusion for the time being. Relevant training institutions have suspended their work.
This tens of thousands of high-end training courses are not accessible to ordinary people.
Their target customers are all high-net-worth people above the middle class, all rich people.
However, in recent years, various training courses for the public, especially those that are very attractive to ordinary people, will cause great social harm.
The government and anti-pyramid schemes refer to these illegal trainings as "spiritual pyramid schemes" or "coaching techniques".
Spiritual pyramid selling is a variant of pyramid selling, which refers to some illegal training and education institutions, information consulting companies or individuals who control students' thoughts through spiritual suggestion, hypnosis, brainwashing and other means under the banner of various trainings.
The difference between spiritual pyramid selling and ordinary pyramid selling is that it no longer relies on grade rebate to drive sales, but brainwashes students to obtain great spiritual satisfaction, with the main goal of collecting money and developing new students.
The damage caused by spiritual pyramid selling, in addition to financial losses, will also break the victim's family relationship, and more seriously will cause incurable mental trauma.
Spiritual pyramid sellers are proficient in human nature, deeply grasp human weaknesses, and combine success, psychology, hypnosis and so on. The purpose is to successfully brainwash people and achieve the purpose of collecting money and attracting people.
It is generally difficult for people who have not experienced the brainwashing of spiritual pyramid schemes to understand its power.
But if you look at the persecution of traditional pyramid schemes, the harm of spiritual pyramid schemes can be imagined.
In fact, spiritual pyramid selling is more harmful than traditional pyramid selling.

How to identify spiritual pyramid schemes?
In normal knowledge training, there is close interaction between teachers and students. Just like our classroom in school, teachers are also teachers and parents, and they are responsible for our learning goals.
Spiritual pyramid selling is different. They will be on high, deliberately establish their own authority, ask students to worship and fear him, do not raise objections and questions, and are not responsible for students' learning goals.
The only purpose of spiritual pyramid selling is to collect money, and the purpose of pulling people's heads is to collect more money.
You can't speak freely when you find that a certain training is controlling your mind.
At the same time, you didn't get any benefits and improvement in this training, and the trainer is not responsible for the training results.
Moreover, trainers are constantly attracting people, developing students and even enticing existing students to attract people.
After training, the only result is the loss of property and spirit, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Then this kind of training is suspected of spiritual pyramid selling.
One of the main characteristics of pyramid selling is to control people's spirit.
People who join the MLM organization will be convinced of the leader and cannot extricate themselves. Even after realizing that I have been cheated, I still have a glimmer of hope and will not change my mind.

The social harm of spiritual pyramid selling is great.
Spiritual pyramid sellers are proficient in human nature. Like traditional pyramid schemes, they know the weakness of human nature, which is greed, fear and credulity.
So they are good at packaging various projects, including emotional courses, teaching people to make money courses, success courses and so on.
For ordinary people, cognition is limited, and the suffering of life is infinite.
People are eager to change the status quo, improve themselves and achieve a perfect life through relevant training.
So when they see the spiritual pyramid scheme, they will be confused by the wonderful copy. I believe that after participating in relevant training, they will be able to turn over and make a fortune.
They believe that after finishing the emotional course, they will definitely find the right life partner.
So I quickly paid for it.
There will be no pie in the sky. If so, why did it hit you on the head?
For a normal and legal project, according to the 28 Law, at most 20% people will stick to it, and at most 10% people may see the benefits.
If it is just a project that simply collects money and makes money by attracting people, few people will make money without developing new students.
If you catch up with the dividend of the development of the times, it is indeed an opportunity to make quick money. Who will come up with such training opportunities? Is it not good to get rich silently?

Poor people, there must be something hateful.
The illegal pyramid scheme popular in society 30 years ago is now disguised as spiritual pyramid scheme.
Knowledge training itself is understandable, but all knowledge training that is not based on actual operation is hooliganism.
Training must take results as KPI, so that training has practical significance and is a more lasting model.
Harvesting the high-end courses of the rich is a contribution to the prosperity of * * *.
But the money earned by ordinary people is really not easy.
In the face of ordinary people's training courses, we should be cautious again.
Reckless collection of money, without reasonable aftermath, will be bitten by themselves, will be desperate.
What's more, the reputation on the rivers and lakes is bad. Now the network is so developed that it will be destroyed overnight.
The mode of making money must be sustainable, and the number of customers repurchased must be accumulated, because the flow is always limited.
River fishing is a short-sighted behavior, which will gain short-term profits, but it will also die quickly, and wise businessmen will not choose it.
For us ordinary people, it is good to be vigilant.
Some people intuitively feel unreliable and should stay away.
Get close to people who are kind, reliable and have a conscience, and get close to people who are reassuring.
If you lose money, you can make it again. If you lose your life, you will lose a lot.
