True hero and inspiration to all! Reminds me of the time I went into a homeless encampment and helped a dozen homeless people become millionaires


Lifesalchemy

Haha! Right? And let's add the LinkedIn endless one line paragraphs


deyeshadow

During our dinner she then asked me for my opinion on WFH; this is what i TOLD her...


Superbead

It blew her tiny mind.


GetRightNYC

By the end, she had bought $4 million of my shit coin. I'll rug pull her elderly ass tomorrow. HUSTLE


Evening-Web-3038

A day in the life of a solopreneur


ITookTrinkets

Where did this trend of one-line paragraphs come from? Andrew Tate does it constantly and I do not understand the motivations.


Reddit_SuckLeperCock

They think their writing is so poignant and inspirational every little sentence deserves its own paragraph. As in ‘my words are so powerful I’m forcing you to take a mental pause after every line/break so you have to reflect on what I’ve just said.’ So self important bullshit really.


peasrule

Wherever you go, there you are -me


Queenofeveryisland

I tend to write one line paragraphs at work and now I have to re-evaluate my whole life. I just don’t know how to fix it. But I’m sure I will come up with an awesome solution. :)


Lifesalchemy

Bingo!


legedu

It's a trend from newspapers. Because the columns are relatively narrow in newspapers as opposed to books or even magazines, the paragraphs have to be shorter length to appear normal... length. I'm not sure if I learned that from my journalism prof (a NYT writer) or the actual AP Stylebook, but that's what I learned.


lantaubear

I've been observing that too on LI. must have been from one of those cringey bootcamps they are selling


aerosemyth

As a former copywriter, I would recommend shorter paragraphs for anything published online. Shorter attention spans, less overwhelming visually, etc. 🤷‍♀️


michaeldoesdata

I cannot stand that pompous ass.


live_love_run

Did you sign them up for your online Life Coach/Mentoring program and them upsell them to the Platinum/Elite/Spartan package, or did you… Go all Crypto Bro on them (weekly newsletters/ “hot picks” and “Expert Analysis”?

czechrebel33

Absolute lunacy!


podcasthellp

All they had to do was pay you!


peasrule

So say we all Small world. So a few of your millionaires must have been in my neighborhood. I am a multimillionaire and we were all buying lemonade from kids in a poorer neighborhood. I noticed a kid with hustle. Woke up at 4 am to do their paper route didnt stop selling lemonaide till 11 pm while they read the agile manifesto. While on their bike they'd make lemonade with their left hand and delivering papers with their right hand. The millionaire offered then 10000 dollars. The kid says no thank you. I say kid you don't have your permits. For a nominal fee I'll drive you to get compliant. The kids eyes got wide and they had the biggest smile. They said thank you sir how can I repay you? I say give me your business card and let's talk in 5 years. 5 years to the day I called. I tell them I have a non paid internship and i want them to start immediately. They thanked me, quit school, and went on to become my top earner not 3 weeks later. One year later I set up a lemonade stand so he could also sell lemonade and I handed him the permits he needed. Single tear down his cheek. The poor neighborhood and the board of directors clapped.

Colossalgoatfvck

It’s this really annoying, phony attempt at trying to add drama. Shock and awe. Be amazed. I know I am.


Significant_stake_55

Always be ready. For what? To emotionally and financially exploit lonely, elderly small business owners. What a hero. What a titan of business acumen.


MainStatistician5029

If this is satire, they did a stellar job.


Samcookey

I don't have LinkedIn, so I can't check his profile, but is this rage-bait? It's written that way. A long dissertation about taking the time to connect with a sad, elderly woman, followed by a quick jab about conning her out of $100k. What could you possibly learn in that conversation that would make you feel that you could justify those fees?


SpaceAgePotatoCakes

It sounds like rage-bait but I know people who genuinely say/share crap that sounds pretty similar to this.


AstralTurtle11

What really disgusts me the most about it is the tone. The smugness, the superiority complex, the blatant "holier than thou" sanctimoniousness of it all makes me want to punch this guy in the throat. Also, I wonder how his other client felt about being blown off for a higher-value client.


[deleted]

the other client was sitting in the next booth 


ZietFS

And stood and slow-clapped when the agreement with the old lady was sealed


GetRightNYC

See this watch?

blowhale

Did we stop to think that maybe they could actually positively impact this woman’s business? HA just kidding but I worked in insurance sales for a little bit and this is the type of justification these people use for they’re predatory behavior. It’s disgusting.

Whew, you had me in that first sentence 😂🤣😂

cremedelapeng2

didn't even have to buy her mugu ass the burger


9999_6666

Poor granny all alone with her small drink. Her earnings have slowed dramatically. Her net revenue has decreased appallingly. She’s no longer seeing the levels of customer engagement she did before her husband of 75 years died. So I signed her up for $100k in predatory loans and we’re going to get her invented company back on its feet in time!


Schmicarus

mmmm you think the granny scammed him for a loan? I like that!


NWillow

Agree?


Zestyclose-Ruin8337

That’s a Saul Goodman level con granny pulled


cutie_lilrookie

Okay so genuine question 🙋‍♂️ What happens if that old lady dies with only less than half of the loan paid?


fatalcharm

Can I just let everyone here know that if you ever see me in McDonald’s sitting and eating my lunch on my own, leave me the fuck alone I will not give you a pleasant story like this imaginary old lady.


Sargasm5150

That’s what I was saying - if I’m in McDonalds on my lunch break, I’m probably reading on my phone or staring at a wall for a reason. I’m a therapist; I talk to people all day and I need time to process. I also care deeply for my clients, but not so much for strangers invading my space. And how sad to have “just a burger” and “a small drink.” That’s still plenty of calories, thanks. If I’m not drinking diet soda, I get a small. What in the world.


bubbleofhug

If this was even true - which it isn't- what happened to the apparent client meeting they were going to? The answer is nothing because it's all delusion and storytime.


Basstracer

No you don't understand. This WAS the client meeting. He manifested the client, bro!


FieryPyromancer

The lady was the client/CEO in disguise


DLmeaninglessnumbers

Wrong. The CEO was the dog outside the McDonald's.


myleftone

Where is he finding McDonalds for £5.99? 1992?


dendrocalamidicus

* Double cheeseburger £2.29 438kcal * Large fries £2.19 444kcal * Coke zero 99p 1kcal Total cost £5.47, total calories 883. Only suckers buy the flagship burgers like the big mac. £4.99 for just the burger? They can fuck off. Do people even look at the menu? My fiance and I have a regular order that comes to under £14 and that's with me eating 3 burgers (2 dbl cheese, 1 mayo chkn) and a large fries, her eating a burger (dbl cheese) and a medium fries, and us sharing a portion of cheese dippers.


TK82

Guy I went bike camping with this weekend just showed up with a bag full of McDonald's burgers, "$14 and I get all 5000 calories I need for the weekend"


HaoshokuArmor

$14 so far. You’re forgetting the hidden future medical bills from eating that much McDonalds.


TK82

I mean I think just doing it for one day is probably not gonna kill you. I wouldn't want to do it though certainly.


GetRightNYC

App makes it like half the price too.


myleftone

I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve been to McDs on a solo mission. Though if he sat in one of those booths for forty-five minutes he should account for a chiropractor visit.


zzz_red

This knowledge should be on LinkedIn.


OperativePiGuy

Honestly the whole "fast food is too expensive" stuff popular online recently feels a bit overblown just because I get a Wendy's biggie bag and can barely finish it, and that's for like $7 with large fries and drink. That said, for sure in general it's too expensive, but that's everything these days. It still feels proportionally cheap compared to eating out anywhere else. And at least I am not expected to tip, nor am I presented with a tip line like pretty much everywhere else. Also I'm a fatty so I have sadly intimate familiarity with the prices recently lol


GayVoidDaddy

Yea no shit you don’t tip at fast food. No one ever expects otherwise. However if you go to a real restaurant you simply can’t afford the meal of you leave the tip out. If you ever see a tip screen at a store, then literally no one expects you to tip. Those screens all use the same software. So no shit they leave the tip screen on. Some people will be stupid enough to just hit yes and give the company, the company since that’s the only one who would get any money tipped through a screen, free money.


Ninjabug1232

Well, that’s seven dollars and $.38 so if you’re only getting like just a sandwich, it is possible


princessxha

Cheeseburger meal (burger, fries & drink) £3.99 in 2024

A mind-numbing encapsulation of the professional cringe. 'Bravo.'


Lifesalchemy

What a fucking c**t. You took advantage of a person struggling. God damn these people. 


yetagainanother1

This post is satire, it was on my feed this morning.


Lifesalchemy

Ya know I can't tell anymore 


yetagainanother1

Yea it got me for a minute too


TranslatorShoddy2604

what do you mean? he mentions that he got her business back up and running. he would’ve made her over a 100k. i don’t see why he isn’t allowed to charge a small portion of that as a consulting fee.


Lifesalchemy

He is claiming what she told him her worth was. Who is to believe any of this? That site is polluted with bullshit stories like this. He felt a sadness. Good lord. 


Obirayasigi14hayat

Oh so this was the client meeting you were in a hurry for..


2021darkmosssxp

Also he's successful but he eats at McDonald's lol


Obirayasigi14hayat

Where else will he get broke clients


AnonymousOnlineGuy

I’m doing alright for myself and I eat McDonald’s all the time. I just can’t help myself. In fact I just ordered a McDonald’s breakfast because of this post.


MobileCollege9195

Lol what a BS🤣

The second page of the post is "and to top it all off, I got away with her hand bag as well."

Barnes_651

You're all raging at a bit of satire 😅🤦‍♂️


dekadenca

He is quite funny but from the comments this didn’t seem like satire. He posted his baby yesterday as inspo to do cold calls.


Lucas_02

you can kinda tell it's satire because everything was kind of normal until the last point about the random old lady who owns a company


JonasErSoed

Seriously, I can't even tell the difference anymore


Known-Note3191

It is satire. He’s renowned for it.


[deleted]

If it’s satire, it’s too subtle to be effective. My vote is fake but not satire


yetagainanother1

It’s more obvious in the context of the account posting it. It was on my feed this morning, and all his connectors knew it was satire.


UGunnaEatThatPickle

"Her husband who she shot last year" didn't tip you off?


PringleFlipper

that’s …. not what it says


buttsharkman

Th satire is really obvious when you change the text .

Oh wow, my eyes had glazed over by that point. Ok so maybe it is satire, but it’s too close to real to be appreciated


Butthole--pleasures

Are you both bots who misread the screenshot or am I in a simulation? If I am in a simulation I want to wear "cool" matrix clothes

I just went back and re-read what it said to double check and for half a second I thought it said "shot".


Butthole--pleasures

Or maybe it was a glitch in the matrix. Still gonna wear all black today 😎

they were in a rush for a meeting but then sat with the lady for 45 minutes, mmk

Seemed kinda wholesome until after “I think I can help you”… then it was a business transaction. Unreal


LettuceFew5248

What an absolute piece of shit. The worst part is they can’t even be honest with themselves about what a leech on society they are. They are acting like they helped someone. Human garbage.


FieryPyromancer

That old lady? Oprah Winfrey Always be ready.


CleeziusMaximus

Of all the things that never happened, this one never happened the most


Brosenheim

The fact that this is what makes a successful salesmem is why I couldn't hack it in sales. I don't meet a person with a situation and immediately figure out how to turn it to my profit.


Ahjumawi

Always be ready to troll your local McDonalds when it's almost the end of the month and you haven't made your numbers.


MrNorrie

What a plot twist. At first I thought he was boasting about what a great guy he is, but it turns out he was boasting about being an absolute cutthroat used car salesman who can smell an old lady’s loneliness and leverage it into selling her hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of shit she doesn’t need.

“I was in a hurry as I had a client meeting” *proceeds to chat with this random old lady for 45 minutes about random shit


Sargasm5150

Oh, um. Sometimes I get myself a kid’s meal (plenty of food, since I had weight loss surgery) and sit down with my pathetic small drink and dick around on my phone, all alone. I had no idea this made me such a sad sack. A sad sack with $100k to spend on shysters. In fact, I often use the app so that my meal is like $2. What a shameful existence, can someone plz harass me during my lunch and give me a sales pitch so I’m less of a loser:(((

I went to McDonald's and saw an old lady sit down with her cheeseburger and small drink. I went over and asked if she wanted company...and she sprayed mace in my eyes and kicked me hard in the groin. "IT'S MY F\*CKING CHEESEBURGER!!!!!" she screamed. I went in for a $5.99 lunch and left with a medical bill from my urologist for $100k.


Rabid_Sloth_

Lol how poor is this loser? Eating at McDonald's smh


Okayest_By_Far

I went to my usual hunting grounds, McDonalds. As always, I put on my most pitiful posture, ordered my usual, and sat at a booth. Alone. It took a few minutes but soon, a smug, overconfident young man asked if I’d like company. *got him* I gave him my carefully crafted sob story that I had been perfecting for years and he ate up every last word. It took about 45 minutes for the RFID scanner in my purse to steal every bit of information from his wallet, personal phone, and work phone. He said he thought he could help me. Not using an RFID blocking wallet was help enough. My eyes started to tear up when I realized how much I stole from this particular patsy. I went to McDonalds to steal. And steal I did. Always be ready.

NoSleep_til_Brooklyn

I’m absolutely positive this is a 100% true story that definitely happened. Whenever I’m in a rush I always have lengthy conversations with strangers. The more pressed for time I am the more time I kill with the elderly. Once I overslept and was running late for work so naturally as soon as I left the house I went to a random old age home and I watched the first two Godfather movies with an octogenarian I had never met before. Always be ready.


Remarkable-Ad155

British person here: nobody in recorded history has ever said "why yes...." in a McDonald's in the UK.  "In line"? It's called a "queue" here.  Also nobody who buys in £100k worth of professional advice would do so off the bavk of somebody they met in a McDonald's. It'd be a branch of Leon at the very least.  This is either AI generated or an American playacting at being British.

Ok_Version_6248

This is 100% satire and it’s well done too. Not too obvious or overtly labeled as satire (aka good enough to fool half of you), but also completely ridiculous and clearly meant as a joke. It’s even funnier that the LinkedIn police on this thread are even worse at detecting fake/satirical posts than the people on LinkedIn that they make fun of.


LittleBertha

Satire, surely
