Choose ‘guru’ partners carefully!
In my last post (rant) I pointed out how there are really no magic ‘its’ that lead to success. And to beware of anyone who claims they can teach ‘it’ to you, if you pay them a lot of money.
Although there are tons of these self-proclaimed gurus around, there are some who have valuable wisdom to share. How can you tell which ones are the real deal?
The following are some signs of ‘gurus’ you might want to consider as mentors.:
They have done what they are teaching.
They have a lot more than book knowledge and information. They have successfully used the systems and strategies that you want to learn.
What they are teaching is still working for them.
As I said in my last post false gurus teach what used to work. You want to learn from someone who is up to date, continually learning and still experiencing success.
You can get proof that their teachings work for others.
Many false gurus have lots of testimonials on their websites (although the same names appear on many). It would be wise to find and contact real customers and ask how well the guru’s teachings actually worked for them.
What they are teaching suits your style.
There are some gurus out there whose methods are questionable and/or overly aggressive. Know what your business vision is and find mentors who run their businesses in that manner.
So know what you are looking for and choose a guru partner you can trust to deliver!
