Day 53: Kill the Gurus

Kill the online marketing gurus.

The ones that need to pay for ads to remind you how many things you are doing wrong.

The ones that want to “rescue you”.

The saviours behind a Fan Page

The ones that “discovered” the secret.

The ones that want to tell you how “you are one just one step closer to achieve ultimate freedom’

Yes…

Screw the gurus that are only warriors in a digital world…. the ones that measure life with likes and impressions.

Screw the ones that keep telling you how much they “struggled” … and how “far they have come”

Trust me:

Kill the gurus.

Stop feeding their ego and instead start feeding your soul.

Stop believing the ones that tell you that X or Y doesn’t work — because usually those gurus are just too busy telling you what works vs testing if it works or not.

If you see a Guru…

Run away.

Don’t let them compare you.
Don’t let them patronise you.

Find humans instead. Find story tellers. Find friends. Find lonely people with lessons to tell. Find yourself.

If a Guru tells you they “limited” tickets for that amazing event… or their wisdom is only available for 1/2 price during this weekend…

If they need to remind you 27 times per week how amazing they are via email or by re-targeting you on the Internet.

Close your browser and do one thing:

WAKE UP.

Drink a glass of water.
Go outside.
Delete the Facebook app.
Take off your shoes
Let your toes touch the ground
and look up to the sky.

WAKE UP

There are no real gurus in the real world

Those gurus don’t make a difference.

Those gurus just tell you what you want to hear hoping you make decisions influenced on their theories.

Instead…

Find students that are willing to teach .

Find partners.

Find Silence.

Find people that failed.

Find the humble ones.

Find the ones that won and they never bragged about it.

Find your theory.

Write your book.

Unplug yourself from podcasts.

No more Bios.

No more Blueprints.

No more borrowed systems

Kill the Gurus.

Kill them with your silence.

Stop following.

Start leading yourself to a destination that can only be achieved when you fire your guide and burn down the maps.
