John Calub has been one of the most common faces you see on Facebook Ads. Perhaps you're tired of seeing spam text messages from John Calub's minions. I know I am.
He is an unethical marketer who likes to take advantage of people. It's time for me to expose this con man for who he really is. I don't want this to be long, so I'll just summarize so it's easy for you to read.
John Calub isn't a successful entrepreneur, he's just a successful snake oil salesman
Be honest guys... wala naman talaga siyang business. He doesn't practice what he preaches. Sinasabi niya na meron daw siyang successful restaurant, "The Success Cafe" kung saan yumayaman kaya everytime kumakain ka. Cut the bullshit. Ginagamit lang niya ang Success Cafe as his front para mukhang magaling siyang entrepreneur.
Here's the truth: he makes money selling his make money seminars.
How he makes money:
1) He doesn't charge anything for his first seminar - The Money Magnet
2) When you go to his "free seminar," he alots about 2 hours to upsell his Wealth Attraction seminars, with a more hefty price tag
3) When you go to his paid seminars, you'll discover that he will keep on upselling you his other seminars hanggang maubos ka
4) If you give away your cellphone number and email, he will spam you to death about his "NEW REVOLUTIONARY WAYS TO MAKE MONEY." Wait a few months and may bago na naman siyang seminar. Kung hindi Internet Marketing, Forex naman.
Tingnan niyo mabuti how he doesn't earn any money from legitimate businesses but from his make money seminars alone. Meron pa siyang Success TV that doesn nothing but interview other people. No real knowledge is shared.
John Calub's Firewalk Bootcamp is the biggest sham of all
Sinasabi niya na if you can walk on fire, you can do anything. But he charges Php 20K so you can walk on fire. Come on... who believes this shit? A simple search on Youtube would show you the science why it's possible to walk on fire and not get burned.
Walking on fire will no make you any money. But it will make him money.
John Calub says he has made thousands of millionaires. Yeah right!
Siguro sa tagal niyang gumagawa ng seminars, around 100,000 Filipinos na ang nag-attend. From that 100,000 hindi ako masusurprise if 1,000 of them became millionaires. But remember, that's 1% of his attendees. Use your head guys.
Isa pa, John Calub doesn't create millionaires. Remember that it's the person who decides if they want to work to be wealthy. John Calub always takes credit na dahil daw sa kanya kaya sila naging millionaire. Eh kung ganyan na lang lagi logic niya edi sabihin na rin natin na dahil sa kanya na 99,000 ng attendees niya are poor as hell.
John Calub uses celebrities as social proof that he is successful
You know, you don't have to know celebrities to show how successful you are. A lot of business tycoons out there don't know any celebrities, but are richer than John Calub. Pinagmamayabang pa niya na pumunta daw sha sa bahay ni Richard Gomez and nagpapicture. So what? John Calub grow up man. Grow some balls and have some humility.
John Calub tricks his volunteers to keep on working for him
He uses a famous trick called a Syndicate (aka. the Mastermind Group) where he tells them na in order for them na yumaman they have to "pay it forward". Ang "pay it forward" ni John Calub means work for him for free everytime he makes his seminars. That way, yung mga alagad niya feels like they are helping society, when in fact they are just making filling John Calub's pockets.
What about yung mga yumaman kay John Calub?
The truth his, wala naman siya ginawa sa pagyaman nila. Yung mga yumaman, sila mismo ang naghirap para magstart ng business or mag-exert ng effort sa sales. These people are more likely the ones who go to these seminars. So... in the first place, hard working na rin sila and open minded.
Don't let John Calub take the credit. It's their hard work not his.
John Calub shows off too much that he makes people believe that they have to be like him
He always shows na you need to buy many dream houses, you need to buy expensive clothes, you have to go abroad every month. Of course, he can do that because he's a con artist who is out to take your money.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy luxuries but what I'm trying to say here is that you should only buy things that you need. Why buy a Ferrari when you can buy a Honda City; it serves the same function. Why buy a very expensive 100k Php 100k handbag, when a bag worth Php 5k is already sufficient for your needs. Do you really need 3 dream houses? Bakit hindi ka magsettle for only one.
Maghihirap kayo lalo if you follow John's luxurious lifestyle. Remember that he makes his money from the seminars not from a real business.
John Calub says that he doesn't believe in reading books
Napakasingaling na po ni John Calub. Sinabi niya before na nabasa na daw niya lahat ng libro and it didn't help him except for the Success Principles ni Jack Canfield. It's funny because most of what he says is a complete rehash of Brian Tracy's books, Jack Canfield's books, T. Harv Eker's books, Robert Kiyosaki's books, and etc...
John Calub says that he lost weight using the Law of Attraction
Ito na yata ang pinakamalaking kalokohan na sinabi ni John Calub. According to him, he eats a lot kasi he owns a restaurant. Pero nung pumunta sha sa Thailand may nagsabi sa kanya na vinivisualize daw nya sariling nyang katawan kaya siya fit. Naniwala naman si John and ginaya niya (I don't even know if that story is really true). Naglose daw sha ng weight.
After 2 years na sinabi niya na nagvivisualize daw sha ng dream body niya. He is still fat as hell.
Guys, eat right, sleep normally, and exercise regularly - that's how you lose weight. Visualizing does nothing to your body but sell you a dream to be lazy.
John Calub says that if masyado kang masipag, magiging mahirap ka
To tell you the truth, I've had a few friends who attended his seminar and they subscribe to this philosophy. The only problem is that sobra nilang tamad that they expect the money will just come when they open a business. Ayun, nagtry sila mag-open ng business, real estate, franchise, and every single one failed. Ayaw kasi magwork hard, naniniwala masyado kay John Calub.
Conclusion
I agree with some of John's philosophy pero wag naman sana maging con artist. Please use ethical ways to market. Wag mong sasabihin na limited slots ang seminar mo or sold out ka just to show people na malakas ka. Do not spam text people who never subscribed to your seminar updates.
Don't tell people na pagpumunta sila sa seminar mo ay magiging milyonaryo sila, in America, if you make these claims, you get sued by the FTC. They will not make any money from your seminar itself.
Fix yourself John Calub and please be humble. Wag masyado mayabang, madaling hulihin ang scams mo.
