What exactly is a GURU and What does it take to become Number One?

The dictionary defines it as, “A trusted counselor and advisor; a mentor; a recognized leader in a field.” In this definition, it says nothing about commitment, truth, excellence, results, passion, habit, mental toughness or discipline. I submit to you that there are but a few “gurus” in Internet Marketing online. Now that is not to say that there are not some GREAT marketers, however, in my humble opinion, a guru must have the qualities and characteristics that I mentioned above.

My point is this.

I have met a lot of Great Marketers on the net and I have purchased products from them and utilized them as they directed. About six months ago, I joined with my Guru, John Delavera,  when I signed on to his Mentoring Process. These past six months, whether it turns out to be financially rewarding at a future time or not, have been some of the most personal rewarding time in my short Internet journey.

To me John Delavera, has all these traits, and more. This is not to say that other Great Marketers do not have these qualities, but when I discovered that John had them, then I signed on.

John has become my Sensei (The Karate Kid) and my Coach.

John is making me stretch and learn how to build a business, not just sell a product or service. That to me is what a “GURU” is.  But more than all of that, John has become a friend in that he WANTS me, as well as others he comes in contact with, to succeed and he is doing his part to ensure that I have that opportunity.

  

                                                                                             Another GURU in the sports world was Vince Lombardi, possibly the greatest Coach in the NFL.  The Lombardi Philosophy transcends football. His powerful words capture the fundamentals of  success – in any sport, any business or in any life.  If you want to view what Vince Lombardi’s thoughts are about being Number One,  just click on the following link.

You will find the core similarities in Life, Football and Internet Marketing are basically the same values and credentials used in order to become  Number One.

Why Would One Not Want To Know and Possess These Values?
