PSA: I dropped $500 on a 'career accelerator' course that was just repackaged YouTube videos.
The guy promised direct mentorship and a custom plan, but it was just a pre-recorded video library and a generic PDF. Anyone know a legit way to get actual one-on-one guidance without getting scammed?

Ever think those big group coaching calls were the only way to get help? I did. Then I paid for one where the "mentor" just read slides to 200 people. Felt like a webinar, not guidance. Now I only look for people who offer a real discovery call first. If they won't talk to you for 15 minutes before you pay, they won't talk to you after.

Total scam. Seen it a million times.
Check their actual clients. Real mentors have real people who will talk about them. Not just testimonials on a sales page. Ask to speak to a past student before you pay anything. If they say no, walk away. Also, look for people who still do the actual work you want to learn. If they stopped doing it five years ago to just sell courses, their advice is probably old.

Wendyking's right about the discovery call thing. It's like every service now is just a repackaged product.
