The Definition Of A Guru
The Definition Of A Guru
Have you ever been approached of one of these guys? I'm an expert and I'm here to show you how to make a business for yourself and how to be financial independent.
You need to be careful of who you listen to. Sure there are many great products out there and most of them work as long as you give it a chance.
But I'm not going to talk about a given product. I'm not even going to talk about specific people either.
But instead I'm going to talk about a surten types of people. They may approach you from time to time. Trying to sell you a surten program that will help you make money online.
Of course, we need to sell something to be able to make money. But its a big difference branding a company, or a product. People invest in a person they trust and feel comfortable with.
Here is this know, like and trust factor again.
There are several people out there who seems to take an interest in you. But as soon as you have some objections, or have another opinion, they attack you and say you do it all wrong, you are a looser because you have a different option.
Who Are You Listening To?
Let me ask you this. Who would you invest in?
Person A: I Have seen how you do business and how your promote your self and the product. How can you expect making any sales if you do it all wrong and listen to the wrong people? Work with me and invest in my product and I will help you make money.
Or person B: I have seen how you do business and how you promote your self and the product. I see why you don’t make any sales. If you are interested I will be gladly to help you out and give you some advice on how you can do things differently.
Also, if you are interested, I will provide you with an opportunity that I think will help you out your progress. Just let me know any time.
Probably person B, Right?
Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude
You see, people doesn't like to be told what to do. They don't like to hear that they do things wrong. They don't like to be sold to.
BUT people love to hear that they have right. They want to do things in their own ways in their own pace. They love to buy stuff.
Marketers love to be gurus and self claimed experts, and talking so highly about being a people person. But yet they have a tendency to forget this.
These people care more about the money rather than you as a person. They surely don't take any interest in YOU!
So if you have any kind of business, whether it's online business, or a brick and mortar store think about what your customers needs and wants.
Help your clients and customers to help themselves.
My Experience
I have seen some examples on Facebook lately, and even been contacted through messenger by one of these so called expert for a while back. I didn't give it much attention back then. I think that maybe the person just had a bad day or something.
I don't remember the exact words we shared between each other, but it was something like that he said everything was wrong with my website and Facebook page. I told him that I haven't been in business for long term and I know there is a lot of things that I can improve. I asked him to be specific about what I could do different to improve the overall quality.
He was vague and criticized my website theme, didn't give me a better alternative or anything. He then told about how his program could make my website and Facebook profile look like a professional made one and attract high targeted traffic!
I told him that I was not interested and I'm happy where I am for the moment.
He then said that I was not open-minded and didn't want to work with me and blocked me from Facebook. Oh well, I don't like people like that and I surely not trust them and I don't want to do business with people like that.

Good post Fred.
I always say that if someone calls themselves a guru, then run a mile.
No one is better than anyone else, they just have different levels of experience.
You don't get a customer by putting down their efforts like that and he would have got further by offering some pointers.
EXACTLY! We all need learn how to crawl before we can walk. If we work WITH someone, the mutual benefits are endless.
