I looked at the losing hands and the reasons I lost. I would try and find any error at all.

There's errors in winning hands too.

Indeed. And for the sake of completeness, let's remember that all too often you play a hand perfectly and still lose a big pot.

Jorge, as for your original question, why not just tell these would-be learners what you've told us: money can be made at poker but only if you are prepared to put a lot of time and thought into the game. As long as you don't give them the impression that it's easy money, you're helping their development as players. And if you can't be bothered spending hours with them on their game (and fair enough) then just point them towards a good book for beginners and let them take it from there.
