What a No-Name Coach Taught Me About Making It Big And Going To The Olympics
…the most important coach in my Olympic career NEVER went to the Olympics. He wasn’t even an athlete. Surprised? Well, that myth that you can only learn from people who have been there IS a myth. Now sure, it helps. But what if that coach never decided to coach because he felt, “I just don’t know enough. Or, I’m not like those Olympic coaches, what can I possibly teach a young athlete trying to go to the Olympics? ”
There is information within you that can help others. You are the filter. You are the lighthouse on the shore. You’re not out there in the deep water yet but you sure as hell can keep people away from the rocks!
Unleash yourself. Don’t worry that you aren’t THE guru. Because you will be in due time and that shouldn’t keep you from helping others. There is no knight coming to dub thee “Guru” It just doesn’t happen. You’ve got to go out there and find your school of fish. Your group of people who want to learn from you.
The truth is you are able to meet people that some of the gurus will never meet! I know people who just don’t like certain teachers. Unfortunately they turn themselves off from learning a lot by tuning out that guru. You may be the person that leads them to the promised land (for lack of a better term.)
I hope that helps. So get out there. Cast off the bowlines and set sail.

You Don’t Have To Be The Guru You Just Need To Be Their Guru
You don’t have to be THE guru. You just need to be THEIR guru.
For the most part, the majority of us are pretty respectful of the mentors and gurus who have taught us. We may have read their books, been to their seminars, or seen them on TV. We may love the information that they teach and have multiple resources from a multiple of mentors and gurus on our shelves. But when it comes time to teach what we have learned from these mentors to others we get hung up. We freeze in our Continued…

How To Build Your Credibility Device To Wow Prospective Clients
You Need A Credibility Device
Our society today is quite skeptical on some levels but overly gullible on the other. In one way we don’t believe anything except the news. But on the other hand we’ll believe anyone with a blog, or a website, or a book. Or better yet, someone who has been on the news. (Not “in” the news. O.J. was “in” the news.)
The majority of the North American population will NEVER pick up a book after college. Too hard to read. Most people don’t work out to stay in shape and they read at a seventh grade level so picking up a book is a struggle let alone reading it. Writing one? Now, whoever writes one must be a God!
