Forget About Becoming A Guru. Become A TRIBAL CHIEF
We often talk about extremely successful internet marketers as being GURUS. We talk about them with a sense of humor, we talk down on them, we envy them, we want to become one preferbly.Because being a GURU=MONEY.
The word Guru is often used in sales pages, squeeze pages, thank you pages. The word itself has become a noun with a double meaning, but still most people that are new to the internet marketing world, or even been into internet marketing for quite some years, want to become one.
And while most strive to become a Guru, others hate te be one.
It's not strange that the actual people that are being labeled as a Guru, hate this title. Afterall, in the way this word has been used, it makes it seem like being a Guru is easy. You hit gold once and you're set for life. This couldn't be further from the truth. If it's so easy to become a Guru, why is the wso section of this forum is getting overcrowded?
Personally, I don't like the title and I don't envy anyone that has been labeled as such. Instead, I would like to introduce a more positive title to those that have worked their ass off to make it in the IM industry:
Tribal Chief
A tribal chief is a leader of a loyal following who's main goal is to inspire and teach his or her following how to reach their personal goals in the best way he/she can. A Tribal Chief cares about their customers and his or her reputation and won't throw out products to make a quick buck, just becasue he/she can.
If you want to become a Guru, I suggest you consider becoming a Tribal Chief instead. THIS is what being sucessful in the internet marketing industry is all about: To be professional and to care enough about your customers as much as your own reputation. Instead of trying to get your piece of the moolah pie a couple of times, or even once, think about what you want to achieve. Do you want to build a business or do you want to make a quick buck?

Sounds good, doesn't it?
In all fairness, most Gurus have the exact same discipline. It's us that have changed the discipline, the belief, the title and have used it incorrectly.

If you want build a business, it's imperative to become
a Tribal Chief!
a Tribal Chief!
